*pokes Wolfx for Alicia's ponytail*

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.

Temptation to get the game is increasing with every episode.......

Like someone said, the only thing that makes animu better than the game is Alicia's expressions.

Mai waifu. Smoked cheese pan ftw.

Everyone seemed to have machine guns and rifles for episode 3, even Largo was being a shock trooper. 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.

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.

Get it. I got teh ps3 for this game. I think Steno did too.

yeah, the smoked cheese bread made me lol all the way when I heard it.

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.

I wonder if they gonna follow the game ending for the anime series?..
*ready to falcon punch linkin if he spam about isara's death here...

isara ada la masa ending

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.

lol i only uses homer to repair and defusing mines. on the other hand, after getting level up, they're not really that bad except Susie. she's useless as hell

I think was a scout rifle. IIRC Largo's gun was longer than Rosie's machine gun and similar to those used by scouts. Can't re-confirm till I get back home tonight.

The story compression was based on the assumption that it was a 12-episode run as claimed in the earlier pages of this thread. So at 26 episodes...1 battle per episode plus some side stories (the ones bought from Elliot)?

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.

Same here.

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

itu bukan isara tu


manga is different, welkin saw spotted some high bed on the river for the edelweiss to cross by looking at the grass. Plus alicia for the first time saw selvaria at the town..

isara la nama dia

^fail spoiler.

oh tidak, tak perasan...

I'm often told that my priorities are strange.

Attack on Vasel town was not bland. It was a total disappointment.
