I got excited for the first time in a while watching Anime...
when squad 7 was trying to give damege to Selvelia by all means

though I laughed at some scene, say, hog general begging princess to fight against Selvelia, as Valkyria

last week, despite of that he was quite disbelieving in princess's superstitious Valkyria power

Selveria couldn't even make Alicia flinch ._. How broken would the wars be once Alicia learns to control those powers >.>

That fighting scene (Alicia vs. Selveria) was almost directly from the game. Of course animating was different but all the movements were same =D Awesome episode nevertheless!!

Awesome episode ! Valkyria Alicia owned Selvaria like piece of cake. The battle was nicely done, clearly better than the fight in the game i think. (That was a bit too fast^^)

This was the most random episode EVER. The fight scene between Selvie and Alicia was badass, though.
Faldio was annoying going "Alicia! Alicia!" all episode. And lol, he lost to Welkin. Him kidnapping the princess, really that whole scene, was Random Point #1
Random Point #2 was Alicia appearing out of nowhere in the battle field. How did she sneak past everyone else at the camp?
Random Point #3 was Max and Largo taking no damage when they were attacked. Invincibility cheats?
Random Point #4 was that shot of chibi Alicia. Does Selvie suddenly know Alicia from somewhere?

This is why I rated it a 3...that and the art is still wonky in far shots.

It was awesome cutscene. In my opinion even better than this anime clip. =P (Selveria is 100x cooler in game)

Yeah I was surprised....I thought they would change it up more than that. But like you said, Awesome episode. (I do prefer the game cutscene of that alicia vs. Selvaria confrontation though...it was just epic.)

well what happened was exactly what was suppose to happen. there is no other way it would have developed. unless there is actually one one out there who would write a story where the protagonists die in a miserable way. it would be interesting though. it would go against the normal progression of things. this isn't that kind of story though.

That's what i thought also. Maybe Alicia is her little sister.

Epic episode. I really enjoyed it. Amazing shit. I wonder though why was Selveria so easily owned by Alicia. Are Valkyrias stronger when they are in a semi-conscious state? Or was it because she was like that while she was driven by the strong desire to protect Welkin?
I even thought that she might be some special Valkyria but that will be too much although not impossible. In the end it might be just the flashbacks that affected Selveria.

It looks like i was correct in my beliefs on why Faldio shot Alicia but i still don't think she will forgive him that easy and especially Welkin looked pretty pissed at him on the preview.

By the way that princess does she really have any Valkyria blood? Maybe she has but her ancestors mixed with normal humans too much and she lost her family powers. Am kind of wondering about her.

There was nothing random in this episode.
1) He kidnapped the princess because they weren't hearing him and he saw her there so he took the chance. Nothing uncommon and something we see in movies and anime very often.
2)She didn't sneak past anyone. She just walked through. I think there was even a scene showing that. Simply nobody tried to stop her seeing her glowing and looking like that.
3)Largo obviously jumped to his right and avoided getting hit by that blue energy beam in the last second. It kind of shows when you see the scene again. Maximilian was saved by Selveria. She went through the tank while it was being destroyed and took him at a split of a second. Do they have to show you every little thing like you are a five year old for you to get it?
4) And what is random about that? She obviously knows her and is part of the plot.


Loved this episode and can't wait for the next one although it won't have any epic fights. We will probably see everyones reaction to the fact of Alicia being a Valkyria and Faldio getting scream at for shooting her.

Remember kids, only in Valkyria and Gundam can an inexperienced noob kid beat a fully trained elite soldier in a battle involving the latter's specialty.

Anyway this was more fun in the game since you actually get to control noobHaXoR before she faints like a princess. Here it felt sad seeing Selvaria-sama getting pwned like that, especially since her idol, that mommy's boy, will just blame her and use her for something else later. Not gonna say more, or I'll have to use spoiler tags.

The episode itself was pretty good, like the last one. Glad to see Valkyria's finally interesting, but is it too late?

When you try to shoot Squad 7, you get Storm Trooper syndrome. :D It even affects Valkyrias. The only one who didn't want to cheat was poor Isara because she didn't need any to be full of win.

well selveria was tired. she had used too much power. also i think another valkyria was a bit of a surprise even to her. you could also say that the fact that alicia has never used her valkyrian powers before, her awakening probably was a lot stronger than someone who has used theirs on long term basis. probably a stretch though. also she was driven to protect welkin so that probably was a deciding factor.

What are these guys trying to do? They're shooting. But that's not how you aim with an assault rifle, or any other kind of gun. They are still trained imperial soldiers though. Conclusion? Storm Trooper Syndrome when shooting Squad 7! :D

1-3 aren't as random when you pick through it, or watch the ep again. 4 is just...a new plot point out of nowhere, and they've got 5 eps to make it work :\

Faldio: Oh hey, look what I did : O
Hmm say.. did Selvaria's boobs get even bigger again ? =.=' Or is it just that I haven't really been paying attention to that part?
Lol btw, the first sound that the General made.. Doesn't he sound somewhat like a pig?xD

Still, I have branded Faldio as the biggest tard in history, and even though we now got to see that it was indeed to awake Alicia's powers, I won't go back on my opinion about him.

But hey this isn't even fun, Alicia got boringly strong now >.>

So next episode, Welkin goes *RAAAAAAAGE* on Faldio because he shot her? : D

It's because her boobs are too big and she can't move as fast. Also they disturb the balance of her body and she can't put her full power behind her hits. Alicia wins because of the power of her C cup.

Late development? Yes. But illogical? No. They are the last survivors of a dying race, it's quite possible they have some connection. Anyway they waited until the last episodes to show Valkyria powers also and that was the name of the goddamn show. So why should i find this disturbing.

One of the lamest scripts I have seen in an anime in the last few years. Tied with Soul Shitter though. Officially dropping it right now. The series looked promising, and it was even quite interesting in its first half (even by no mean a good series). Everything in this episode, was plain ridiculous (just like the 20th).

Nicely done. Its even better than the game in many ways. The flashback is anime original though and based on that, we can probably assume that they are trying to pass of Selvaria and Alicia as sisters. Check out this video if you want to see spoilers about the game ending.
