Valkyria Chronicles

I finally caught up on this anime in the last few days. I was on ep 9. Wow things have progressed a lot. Episode 18 was heart wrenching. Isaras death and the emotion involved was just moving. I am glad I got back into this anime it is so much better than I originally thought.
 
Welkin is not a perfect character, but that's what makes him interesting. He's too idealistic and naive for his own good. Although in the anime he's too ditzzy.

The reason Alicia calls him a liar, is because Isara is Darksen. Since Alicia didn't seem to completely believe Welkin's story, Isara's race caught her by surprise.The Darksen as a race are persecuted and abused because of certain preconceptions (kind of like jews and gypsies). In the game Alicia and Isara knew each other (Bruhl is a small town afterall), and I'm not sure why they changed the script so much.



I think they attempted to mimic the style of the Rendered cut-scenes from the game, but didn't manage to pull it off.



It was their hometown, and they fought to ensure that everyone evacuates safely.



I like the game's storytelling much better, it's more political and deep. In game, the Militia is sent to take the bridge as the Cannon Fodder. So Welkin's mission was not just about a stupid bet, but survival and necessity. In anime the way he carelessly charges into enemy miRABt just to prove himself makes him a much more shallow character.
 
Cute girl with Gehwer, uguuuuuuu~

I loev the art style of this show. It's so pretty. And I'm loving the story and characters so far, despite it being based off a game (which I have to play now)
 
*Cough!*

And it has a few discrepancies from the game. Still a great show and easily one of my favorite games ever. As much as I love watching it, I'm beginning to realize how bad it sucks to know everything that's going to happen. Well, the game was an amazing experience, but I wish the show took on a different life sometimes.
 
Falidio wasn't supposed to be in love with Alicia..........and Welkin isn't as stupid as in the anime........this is all the evil plan of the producers......still, they have done a good job making a love story inside the already-not-so=original-storyline......
 
Sorry my good man, but there's no need to be so critical. I know the game's story inside-out, back of my hand myself. Had it since launch day, yet I'm not about to be so judgmental of it. I can understand your points and I know them very well, but I just don't see the use of being so harsh. If you enjoy the anime, don't worry about how different it is from the game. So long as it essentially tells the same story, I don't see the problem.
 
My desktop is very well equipped. It's just that there are some games that are exclusive to the 360. Plus, I have more frienRAB that own 360s and do online gaming so I would like to be able to connect with them. But, I'm expecting a well paying job with my soon to be earned Bachelors Degree. That is assuming I can find a job.

As for what other people think, I'm mostly basing my opinion on comments of people that I know and share a similar interest and opinion of mine. I understand that it's not terrible but it's not great either and could have been better handled.
 
Dude you seriously should explain what your spoiler pertains to. I have not completed the game and I have no idea if your spoiler pertains to that or the show.
 
So in episode 19 squad 7 manages to take back Bruhl where Welkin use to live and upon going to his old house with Alicia he finally let his emotions out and had a big cry about Isara's death, at the end of the episode it showed Welkin and Alicia holding hanRAB so hopefully what they feel for each other is back on track.
 
I hope you didn't use VGChartz. I'll be soooo disappointed if you did.

Not necessarily assuming, my good man; I'm actually referring to the somethingaweful forums. I also said "if they hate it so much", so if and only if they dislike it as much as I believe should they stop watching. Presumption works both ways, sir. Oh, and it can't be a "series" until we see more of it.

Could've been better, but I'm actually rather complacent with it.
 
i see alot of people like this anime
me tooo XD
i don't think faldio is all that bad *shot alicia* because he panicked because of the valkryur that was with the empirer, he saw all his commrades die right in front of him.
must be really painful
-sigh-
 
I was clarifying some points for those that haven't played the game and misinterpreted the events within the anime.

As for criticism, I stand by it. I try to be objective and call it like I see it. The anime tells similar story, but also manages to change some themes and the essence of the main characters.
 
I haven't played the game but I do enjoy the show. Alicia is always so frustrated and i think it portrays a good portion of humor. Overall I like the show right now. I don't have a ps3 so I don't have this game but after seeing this show if I ever get a PS3 I will have to buy this game.
 
Ok I'm confused I can understand that Faldio saw his whole squad die with even one of them saving his life at their own expense, of course the guy is gonna be pissed by their deaths and who did it and the connection to Alicia, but when he shot Alicia he said he was sorry, so why is he sorry, he didn't shoot her because he was pissed because he wouldn't of said sorry had that been the case.
