----------------------------------------
I have a feeling there will be a Zaka x Rosie relationship meaning that they will start to get a lot closer to each other. Lets just hope neither of them die at the end. The episode actually focused more on both these characters than on Alicia, Welkin, and Faldio. Anyway, there is a chance they will kill off one of the good character before the series finish but hopefully thats not the case.

Even though I haven't played the game or Skies of Arcadia, I'm surprised that they'd just have him appear and gone just like that. Fans of him surely won't be happy to know that.

hopefully Aika will have better screen time than that

Lol yeah, poor Vyse. It was a good episode though, I liked how they added some Zaka x Rosie which didn't even exist in the game. Can't wait until the conclusion of the Fouzen arc next week...

Although..I dread the following battle already ;_;

Other than that, great episode. The infiltration of Fouzen definitely looked more real in the anime. I'm also surprised at the relation between Zaka and Rosie, funny and interesting :)

That was a nice episode overall. Now that the atmosphere and setting are set, I must admit the series is very pleasant, even if I can't believe in any mission they are doing. At least the characters are interesting.

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

Great episode! It focused more on the relationship between Zaka and Rosie, which was nice. I'm expecting those two to become pretty close to each other.

Hopefully some more nice action next episode.

I almost liked this episode. The only thing that holds it back is Rosie. I find her absolutely annoying, so I'm expecting some kind of backstory for her to completely change my mind about her (or at least give me some perspective) since I feel like that is what is being set up.

Is there a reason why Zaka keeps one eye closed, when he clearly opened it during the hugging scene with Rosie?

I'm not familar with the video game or manga so i wondered who Vyse was cause either i didn't catch the name in the anime or whatever. I was sad to find out that it was the guy in the beginning of the episode with the eyepatch-monacle thing who looked cool. It made me first think, that would be a cool cosplay. Damn though he got like what 45 seconds of screen time?

he's actually a cameo in the game.
he's originally the protagonist of one of Dreamcast's best game, Skies of Arcadia (the Valkyria developer created SoA too)

They made Zaka and Rosie much more closer in the anime, that's good. Maybe a relationship will develop? o_O

Good episode, not enough Alicia but I guess she hogs up most of the screen time. Rosie is a racist but it seems that Zaka will be able to penetrate the hardened exterior of hers.

so they're again attacking a base lead by gregor, sucks for him! that regular general guy pisses me off, "the battlefield is for highly educated minds" (as the quote goes or something like that), and i was wondering, why then he was going to lead the gallian attack?

Oh my gosh, they put Vyse in the series!!! :D But what the heck, they kill him off in a matter of minutes! :*( Maybe Aika or Fina will appear later on? Hmmm...

Anyway, pretty good episode. I sense that Rosie is starting to show some feelings.

Operation Start! I feel bad for the squads that were sent in as decoys, though. They were badly mauled if not outright annihilated. Such a terrible waste of fighting forces.

The discrimination is big in this arc . Things like that are always present .

This episode is a bit disappointing.

We witness how the other squad of the militia got slaughtered, which is horrible. Some of you also says Vyse is dead. Yes, I saw it in the scene, a dead guy with a one-eye visor, but I'll never accept that!! Vyse is cool. He even has an epilogue in the game.

And squad 7 didn't bring the tank, how disappointing. It's the trademark of squad 7. I expected to see Gregor's face when he lose to Edelweiss.

I'm also a bit disappointed with Zaka. He didn't look as wise as in the game. It's like his charm had been weakened. And what's with the raunchy situation with Rosie? It's good to see Zaka x Rosie relationship, which is not in the game, but it's kinda rough start.
