RULES: Keep game spoilers in spoiler tags. Just assume people who come into this thread have never played the game.

Awesome anime is awesome. Some minor details of how things transpired were changed in the anime from the game in the 1s episode but that is to be expected. Overall very nice production values. The OST is a mix of the game's OST + some new original ones. They maintained the "filter" used for the game to give it that pastel look. Alicia's expressions are priceless in the anime....seriously. laugh.gif

You can go for Doremi or Ayako. i'm with Ayako now though.

Kind of had a good lulz at the ending. The tank designs are very World War One-ish.

U mean WW-II-ish. The Gallian tanks highly resemble Shermans.

That Edelweiss tank is really overpowered.

High speed/maneuverability, heavy/sloped armour, and a powerful gun.

BUT I like it. Hopefully they'll come out with a toy or model kit for it.

Got. Limited edition with the R3 game. Sold out. whistling.gif

Edelweiss tank strong tank imo. i mean generally the best if used by skilled tank user.

:] anyway , the harems are great . :>

No harems in my VC pls.

I don't remember Edelweiss being anywhere that fast in the game, even fully upgraded  hmm.gif Being able to drift in the dirt and all..
*
Rewatch chapter 3 i think, when Edelweiss came out of snorkelling. It was drifting and making Imps run like crazy on the beach.

QUOTE(Dark Steno @ Apr 15 2009, 01:11 AM)
i think because we played turn based game. then again, i believe that shamrock moves faster than edelweiss anyway.
*
Yah. The edelweiss definately has more AP than the Imp tanks, which is a gauge of it speed. If in-game real time the Edelweiss moves at its "real speed" i think we would have lost alot of AP mis-steering and banging stuff. laugh.gif Actually i did a rough test once, after giving the Edelweis the exra AP upgrade, it moves just as far as the Shamrock.

Episode 2 comments:

They really pumped the emotives into Alicia didn't they? She has classic reactions in the anime....in game she's more accepting to Welkin's oddness whereas in the anime she can't possibly trust her life with this guy. Not really complaining, just stating.

That tank shell that deflected of the Edelweiss was pretty LOL. And for a WWII-era heavy tank, Edelweiss sure moved like a modern battle tank.

They changed the story that the towns-people didn't even know about Welkin and Isara before the attack on Bruhl. Don't these people know the son and daughter of their beloved General Gunther?

maybe isara is a hikki who stays home all the time repairing the edelweiss? How come only martha is the only one who knew the sibling and not the people of Bruhl?..
the manga is weirder, alicia knows isara but doesn't recognized welkin..
if you look from the side, it resemble the M-60 MBT...
*
Martha is their meido and worked for Gunther family many years. That's why she knows them. Why only martha? I dunno. Bruhl prolly a big as Klang Valley or something laugh.gif

some images for tank comparison. Come to think of it the turret does look like the one from the M60 Patton.

lol....otakus comparing anime with real world and having arguments again.

I'm quite unhappy on how the battle for Vasel was glossed over from the game. They should have spent episode 3 more on character development and the battle take at least 15 minutes in the next episode. Ep 3 felt contrived. Super tank go around shooting other tanks (like a gundam) and footsoldiers giving the impression the enemy is surrounded and they decide to retreat. Gallians win. rclxub.gif

In the game more epic. They landed secretly on the shore without the enemy noticing and did a blitzkrieg while enemy is still asleep, taking advantage of ragnite containers to blow up and cause confusion. Finally they took control of the building that controls the bridge, and retracted the bridge so all the imperial tanks get thrown into the river and cutting off all reinforcements to the imperials. More epic than the anime's episode 3 by far. And wtf all the other squad mates in this episode like cardboard stand-ins only.

QUOTE(Dias @ Apr 22 2009, 09:33 AM)
Snipers played a critical role in the opening part of the Battle of Vasel (game-wise) as they were needed to blow up the 3 ragnite containers beside the imperial tanks. Rather sad they didn't get to see any action at all here.

As snipers are only used in-game for at most a couple of shots, does that mean they will have only a token presence in the anime? Granted that the focus will be more on the main characters (representing scouts, troopers and lancer respectively), it'd be nice to have snipers get a fair share of screentime to strut their stuff in battle.

If this is indeed a 12-episode series (Wiki says 26 episodes and workplace blocked ANN, so can't confirm), I'd expect a lot of shortcuts and glossing over in future battles just to compress the story into the episode count.
*
Everyone seemed to have machine guns and rifles for episode 3, even Largo was being a shock trooper. shocking.gif Don't worry about snipers being in the anime though....they have Oscar and Marina in the lineup which is pretty cool.

Officially its 26 episodes. Frankly i dun think they need to compress anything since the amount of "story" in the game was pretty minimal and most of it was expaded in the personnel text and glossary. If anything they would need to expand the story. That said i was pretty unhappy on how they handled Vasel. They even skipped the whole thing about Edelweiss being able to travel on the shallow part of the river due to Welkin's observation of some aquatic grass. Also Theimer's flare gun was totally skipped. sad.gif

Personally I feel it would be better if Welkin did a Lelouch and was shown to be directing his troops over radio to flank the enemy etc. "Q1, flank left and destroy the ragnite crates. K5, snipe the lancers on the roof" etc etc.

wolfx, since you've finished the game one time, try use other minor characters and finish another game if you want to unlock their stories. wink.gif

I will form an "anime-accurate" squad later.....though i have no real other reason to play it again except to kill ppl with my uber stats. Will use Homer, Aisha and Susie...useless like hell characters in the game.

Between a swallow flying and aquatic grass floating by, swallow had more visual impact. I think sticking to the aquatic grass would be rather bland on an anime. Because of that, the "shallow river" part had to be omitted.

*
And the attack on Vasel town itself was not bland? I think swallow vs aquatic grass should be the least of our worries. hmm.gif
