Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Exactly how old are Maximilian and Selvaria?
They talked about him as though he is this young guy, but there is clearly a large gap between his and Selvaria's ages...and Selvaria has to be at least 18 (though before this I though she was in her late 20s to early 30s). That's not how I thought the gap would go.

Besides that, I liked the episode a little, even though it was quite slow and full of cliches.


Selvie is 22, Max is 29. At least, that's the way it is in the game.

Its an alright anime, but compared to the greatness of the game, its not so great after all.

what Welkin said was absolutely right. He can not and he should not interfere. It's unfair that he shall decide for Alicia just because she is too much of a coward to clear her relationship with Faldio first.

decent episode btw. I liked the scene at the end. "Tadaima"

and also this:
Welkin is not stupid at all , he jsut treasures friendship as mch as love

what's the problem with that?
he would be a total asshole, if he betrays his friend now and go after Alicia

Welkin ... what have you done =/? I don't think a rift between them is the way to go, we haven't had any action for awhile but I guess drama is good too, more selvaria >=O

even in wartime, love is a difficult thing, too bad for alicia welkin isn't too honesty with his feelings

*Thumbs up*

I liked this one, since it concentrates again on the character relationships. Personally I dont need explosions all the time to enjoy a show. :P

There is the possibility that Faldio is not truly interested in Alicia, but is just trying to speed up things between her and Welkin. It might be the only way to make Welkin
realize his feelings for Alicia.

Doing something like that during war time seems wrong somehow. Might get you killed, although Welkin is cruising for a bruising right now.

During war you need more soldiers => AliciaX"some male" could be beneficial even in times of war. ^^

What's up with you, Welkin? You were so close, you even shared the tears of Largo. Give Alicia what she wants.

I was really frustrated with Welkin this episode. Is he an idiot or what? He needs to man it up. I know he's thinking about his friendship...But honestly, he needs to take initiative. Alicia practically confessed to him.

Seems like we're going back to some action next episode, can't wait!

Great direction, good character development (despite there's only one apparition of Faldio on the whole ep, strangely) and great episode overall. It just proves once again that VC would make a fantastic comedy/romance anime, but it is absolutely not a good militaristic anime. The setting is off, simple as that.

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

Funny thing is that most of the people here who say that Welkin is stupid would probably have done the same thing or something very similar to what Welkin did in that situation.

At least Isara x Ramal is developing fine.

I'm tired of the Alicia love triangle, move the story already! Only 10 eps left.

Man Welkin totally blew it. It was still a wonderfully charming episode though. Love blooms on the battle field. And I agree, I think Isara is the key to Welkin and Alicia getting together.

As I thought so, Welkin is still worried about Alicia and Faldio's relationship. It was enjoyable episode.

Yah everythign is fine but the welkin x alicia x faldio triangle is gettin frustrating.. hoping they would've squashed it by now but guess not :(

Oh well hope action comes quick... curious how they'll close it all up in 10 episodes.

Dont mind all the romance in it. but i was defiinitely expecting alot more action in this show especially since the op dazzles every episode.

Welkin.... you aren't honest, are you??
this episode is beautiful for a passionate characterization like me (I hope to be clear)
I love when in a series there are episodes like this, we can see how people behave in situations unrelated to their character. We saw Alicia and Welkin talk about their relationship for first time, Isara and Ramal, too. Largo in friendly attitude to Welkin and we even discovered that he is fallen in love by Varrot!!
Great episode, XD

... Sigh. ): The awkwardness between Welkin and Alicia hasn't been solved at all - conversely, it seems to have worsened. Come oooon... D:

Didn't expect Isara to be a tease, either. But I still like the Ramal x Isara thing... :) Seems like while everything is a mess for everyone else (Faldio and Alicia, Alicia and Welkin, and Varrot and Largo apparently), everything is going just fine for Ramal, haha - he looked so content at the end!

Oh, Welkin. *facepalm*
Isn't it sad, Alicia?

That love triangle could have been over and dealt with by now, but no. It appears this might drag on into upcoming battles, and potentially affect their fighting performance.

Something feels ominous. It feels as if this love triangle isn't going to be resolved peacefully, and something might happen that will force its conclusion. I haven't played the game, but I hope nothing terrible is gonna happen just so choices will be made to end this love crisis.

Largo sees all.

There is a reason why Rosie sang and Largo didn't ;)

Largo let his tongue slip, damn that was cute :p

Isara was totally playing with his heart strings when she said "Your imagining things"

A beautiful insert song.

Love is in the air everywhere.

Don't get the hostility that Welkin is getting in his behavior towards Alicia.

If you are a guy and think this one girl might like your best friend, but you KNOW your best friend likes this one girl, you would be major conflicted, and most normal people would be unsure of themselves exactly as how Welkin is being. Not to mention, Welkin is acting in character, remember he's a strange guy anyway.

Sometimes what a woman thinks she's clearly saying is not very clear. Obviously looking from outside in, Alicia asking Welkin "what should I do" is her wanting him to take the decision away from her, and to take her. Many women although they wont' admit it, like the idea of being taken. She can't say it that directly obviously, but not every guy would see it as being that obvious. It's a harder call as the guy in question is Welkins' best friend.

There's some convenient short-cuts in this anime, but this triangle (so far) is not one of them--so far everyone's acting in character. The smooth guy, the bumbling guy, and the emotional, expressive girl.

i hope she ends with faldio ¬¬ welkin doesn't even deserve her
it would be a shame if something forced they to get together

a fine option should be that welkin didn't even like her since the beginning and she ends up with faldio because of that u_u something like " i don't like you, i actually have a crush on ellet since the first time she came to enterview us" yeah that would be nice...

but i guess it won't happen and she will end with this little pussie who can't even fight properly for a woman. Giving a woman to a friend is disrespecting him in my opinion, and also her....

I really don't know the age gap of the Maximilian and Sezuria . Not that I care .
Character-driven Indeed . Man has their own way of helping themselves ~ .
Isara-san, I hope so. She is truly a genuine person for having such compassion.
You know its time for a 'change of pace' when things gets so complicated ~ .
VERY GREAT EPISODE . Welkin , my weird friend ~ . Romance is GOOD <3

i think the hardship between alicia and welkin is very realistic. but really though, they need to sort things out asap because theres nothing worse than going into war while being distracted by some relationship issues. love can kill you after all

that being said, isara is the best girl this ep

Let me just state this again... this adaptation did NOT need this pointless 3rd party with Faldio, the romance was perfectly fine how it was handled in the game.
And that is the point, it is okay to change stuff, as long as it is either to improve or add a bit of flair to it, this is NOT IT.
