This is going to be a nice come back for welkin n alicia..after her cold statement earlier in the episode...

So with Isara's left..will Welkin "Lost" again just like when his father died?? or Alicia come to comfort him??

I more prefer Welkin MOARRR to that f***in General (I forgot his name) who sent squad 7 to dangerous mission even though that base not really important acording to the earlier statement...

From the preview i didn't see Welkin sad or angry..is this guy have an emotion? or in his head he only thinks about animal...

Nice Cliffhanger...need find another show first..

sadness!
I think the aftermath of Isara's death is going to be very sad. I hope it is at least, the preview didn't look as sad as i thought it would be.

Overall a good episode. Now Welkin doesn't have Isara to "come home to", so what is he going to do about AliciaxFaldio.

I really feel bad for Ramal ... :*(

OMG! Poor Ramal. I was hoping for more Isara x Ramal and this suddenly happened. Never expected a show like this will kill off a main character. *sigh*

Even at the last few seconds of the show, I was thinking: Oh she got shot, but then she's one of the leading characters which usually means immortality for most shows; I didn't really think of it much. I only glanced the preview a bit and it did not seem overly sad so I never thought Isara is permanently dead. Huhu. T_T

Holy shit, that was intense. I'd heard some rumors of people dying, but Isara!? Ah man, her character had really been growing on me the last few episodes. But the previous for the next episode seemed a little too lighthearted, maybe she's not dead?

Damnit, I always hate it when I lose someone from my party in a game. Where's the reset button!?

So I finally got around to watch it. It was pure torture to watch this episode while already knowing that Isara was going to die. ;_;


Completely diferent for me.
I haven't played the game but I got spoiled that Isara would die in this episode, it did not have any impact on me. I usually find a lot of scene touching or sad that people couldn't care less about and I couldn't see how the scene was sad, it was plain bad executed.
Now if you played the game I'm pretty much sure the scene is way more intense, adaptation always mess up important scene and make them look semi-important or non important at all and it is easy to feel sad just because you remember how you felt when playing the game.

Well i don't know much about the game..coz i don't have any PS3 machine...VC is running on PS3 correct?? well if there is a PC version i will absolutely buy it....

Isara's death is somehow obvious especially when u think that Alicia X Welkin is the main plot..up until now Welkin always feel comfortable when Isara still around just like RubbyRedRabbit said..she is the place where Welkin can go home..so if Isara still around then Alicia x Welkin relationship will be still stalemate..probably worse..

Direction and animation are really improving lately in Valkyria Chronicles, and that's good. On the bad side, the script is really basic, the setting not always right, and the main event of the episode was blown out in the preview of the last episode and the intro of this episode; it was extremely obvious, and the scene in which it happened was not really well put into practice. There are ways to do it properly, but A1-Pictures didn't succeed.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I was thinking killing Faldio would've been a more obvious way to resolve the love triangle. I never saw Isara as causing a stalement b/t Alica x Welkin.

Poor Ramal. I really liked how that pairing was coming along.

That was unfortunate. Isara has been growing on me that last few episodes. This is war however, and I was thinking that the squad needed a casualty so that we can see their reactions. So I'll await squad 7's reactions in the coming episodes.

Oh god, I hate Ramal. Isara: awesome. Ramal: I hate him almost as much as I hate Shin from Seed Destiny. The only silver lining in Isara's death is the hope that Ramal will get less screen time.

I liked how the pairing of RamalxIsara was coming along aswell. What I meant was that, Isara and Welkin obviously have a very close relationship, and Welkin seems like the kind of guy that, when he feels "safe", he doesn't feel the need to venture outside of his emotional safe zone. Isara is like his emotional safe zone. She'll always be there for him, and he knows it... whereas with Alicia, he likes her but there isn't anything motivating him to step out of his comfort zone and go after her, especially because his friend likes her too. Thats why I believe they showed him going back to the room that Isara was in, rather than chase after Alicia when she yelled at him.
With Isara gone however, who can he turn to? He might be able to find the motivation to seek comfort elsewhere (Alicia) because he no longer has his own comfort zone.

Hopefully that made sense? >_>

I wanted to see more from the D-Day like battle, I mean at least show some of the other squads/army get mowed down by machine guns or something. You don't just assault a concrete pillboxed cliff side on a beach with no cover other than smoke and not lose anyone. Rosie need to yell "Corpman!" after Isara was hit XD. But it is really too bad she was one of the least annoying characters in the show...why did they kill her off ;_ ;.

So no one ever dies? As soon as someone said that I began wondering who'd be gone by the end of the episode. A little shocking & disappointing, and doesn't seem to fit all too well with the feel of this anime. The whole scene felt quite artificial and contrived, but I guess it's that way a lot of times.


Same here. I was not shocked although I really liked Isara a lot. I felt somehow quite "uninvolved" when it happened. That scene could have been done much better. ;)

Urgh, just my luck... I was behind with several episodes and all was fine until yesterday I got spoiled for the first death in squad 7 T^T Isaraaaaaa!

So... since in this anime people die... urgh, I just hope it's not Faldio next. He's got "doomed" written all over his face.

Ok sorry but here we have a platoon running threw enemy fire and magically no one gets a bullet something that it's completely unrealistic but after they already won, the girl that was in the tank and technically was the most safe from bullets gets one from a sniper that no one knows how the fuck he got there. And except that during the battle they created smoke for the enemy but there tank that was also in the smoke could see perfectly?
Is it just me, or something is wrong here?

Other than that we saw the healing valkyria powers of Alicia and we heard about the mysterious blue light that destroys things which is probably Selvaria doing that blue energy thing we see in the opening.
The episode wasn't bad but the battle was too unrealistic.

not that to say i was expecting this but it was expected. I was expecting it when they were fighting in the mines a few episodes back like int he game, but this was a perfect spot for her departure.

Still so mad about her dying in the game AND in the show :( she was definitely my #1 girl in the anime and #3 girl in the game. But finally some pivotal turning points are starting to surface. The plot should be steaming ahead pretty quick from here.

"What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us.

Uhm. Hard to comment on the episode as a whole when the episode itself had such a painful conclusion...

Welkin's ability to flip chance on its head and win against all odds is pretty amazing... And will Alicia ever be able to give an answer to Faldio? Seems avoidance is the name of the game at the moment.

Now. URRRRGH. Just when Rosie and Isara were about to reconcile... D: Isara doesn't deserve to die! D': D': I suppose I too was naive in expecting that all of the members of Squad 7 were going to make it through the series alive... ):

Poor Isara. The fact that she was an orphaned Darcsen makes it even sadder.

Great buildup...I can't believe I couldn't figure out that this was going to happen...now all that foreshadowing makes sense.

I haven't played the game so I wasn't expecting that... that was sad. The entire squad will be in shambles after this, especially Welkin and by extension Ramal too.

ISARA!! ;_;

What a downer ending for the episode. Next episode will be a downer too, then. Welkin just lost his beloved adopted sister, and the squad lost its best mechanic, engineer & tank driver. Great, one of the few characters I really liked was killed off. Sucks to be Ramal now, but I hope I don't see any suicides after this.

Why couldn't it have been that pig Damon (sorry Hans) or even Faldio instead if Isara dying means the damned love triangle ends. If Welkin doesn't wake up even after this, I don't know what to think of him anymore. He'd better not let Isara's death be in vain.
