1-What they were thinking about addimg a new character , yes , She is cute but it dosen't get along to well with the history.
2-For VN readers the Chomp part is one of the most important ones , although this version of Chomp is a good adaptation it dosen't give you the shock in the same way the VN manages to do , and is quite a less graphic
3-The operation 21 adaptation although is one of the best parts in the anime , there were some things they could have donde better , such as , the parts with the new characters gives you the impresion that the anime slows in some way , and the way that in the most part of those 3 or 4 chapters only 2 captains appear and not all of them
Those were all my complains , and there were some parts thr anime got better than the VN , such as the mech battles , or the battle in the way the gave mote attention to the ships and feels more real the battle , with all the scenes on the battleship that covers the Valkyries while they retreat.
Now let's go to all the characters that die , first let's say that none of the scenes were characters die ate better than the VN , the one that in a way adds something to the PTSD is Marimo's one , were she encounters the characters that died throughout the story and how the ending kicks in , Kashigawi's dead gives something to desire , and Marimo's well , it's at the beginning
