----------------------------------------
I actually thought the episode was fairly decent. There wasn't any doubt that Maximilian is going to be the final villain, so it's good to see him having some good weapons. Alicia and Welkin in their reunion is alright along with the kiss^^ Also, I wasn't expecting them to kill off Faldio considering he has had more focus then Welkin and Alicia is going to end up with Welkin anyway.

A great finale. Very satisfying. I've been critical of the show, but they pulled through in the end. The game did it better. Some of the scenes in the anime were just ridiculous.

Good ending, and despite there being quite a few changes compared to the game but the general plot and spirit of the storyline was kept intact. Still a bit annoyed that they cut out chapter 16 of the game though, I felt that Welkin's confession there was much more powerful and had a lot more impact that the one in this episode (which was good anyway). Oh yeah, and Edy looked great in that dress. :3

Seeing no Isara (Alicia's and Welkin's daughter) during the epiglogue was dissapointing though. Also I feel like having a narration during the epilogue would have been a good idea, so that people who have only watched the anime get to know what the characters do after the war.

Yeah, it was quite a decent ending, though it may not be as good as the video, where the ending is more complete.
Overall, I like the anime pretty much and sure gonna miss it!

How the heck do you survive a point blank shot with a gun -- resembling that of a magnum?

Unless, it happens that Lerouch is such a bad shot. XD

Well that rpgish and rushed, which turned out to be a bad combo. I get the concept of Final boss, but that was a bit too staged. Also, Faldio wins an award in my book for lamest death ever: nobody noticed nor cared..

Overall this wasn't a bad anime. What kept bugging me in the first half is that they portrayed war mostly like an afternoon tea party with cake and rainbows. That got quickly resolved in the second half but the show lost its charm along the way. And we must take a moment to remember the biggest spoilerfest ever which was OP2.

Strong 6/10 as it was above average but couldn't make me care all that much

Phoned in ending. Maximillian with the armor out of nowhere was ridiculous, but I don't know what I really even expected from the show.

Dropped another point, 4/10. Not much really positive about the show besides the art style, and since it faltered quite a bit towards the end, plus the terrible plot halfway through, VC ends up being being below average.

Sucks that it is over, I like it. I just wish I had a PS3 so that I could play the game. I also thought it was messed up that they didn't mention Faldio at all after all that he had done, you would think they would have honored him in some way.

Also, did anyone else see Jaeger walking through the background at the train station? I thought Maximilian shot him?

Okay, so. That was rushed as all hell. And I think more people got shot in this episode than in every other episode combined. Like...it was a decent enough way to end the series, HEAVILY cliched though. I was counting the cliched lines and scenes and ran out of fingers and toes.

Traveller said:

YES THIS. He was so important in the series and they didn't even show his grave or give him a name drop with Isara or anything.
My rating: 6/10. Amusing and fun and pretty good until episode 10 or so, then slowly downhill until 17-19 which is the best arc. 20 to the end is very rushed and QUALITY at times. It's a decent enough show, and I might revisit it after playing the game.

At first I just loved this show but the relaxing and funny atmosphere but after episode 10 it got somehow ... more boring. I was also left to wonder why they didn't mention Faldio at the end. Oh and the second opening was addicting !
But overall this was pretty nice serie and deserves 8/10.

A nice ending, though the last scenes in the game were better... The battle against Maximilian was definitely more intense, they managed to beat him with only two people, while he can smash your whole party including tanks in the game ^^

Maximilian with the armor was indeed ridiculous and it felt a bit rushed, but other than that it was an okay ending. Not bad.

I enjoyed the anime a lot and thought it had some great moments, especially Isara's death and the episodes that followed.

a really nice ending, was between 8/9 but this made the 9 for me.
yeah i know it had a lot of strange story twists, it was kinda rushed or the villain wasnt so great. but in the end i did enjoy this serie. and it made me really wants to play the game.

the 1st half was only about how good welkin is, added some comedy ep and was ok, but it had a slow pace.
then it changed pretty fast after the 2nd half, it was more "brutal" a lot of people are dying, more dramtic etc. so i am glad i sticked to it.
(even with the spoiler op D:)

after all a really nice serie, it had it up and down but it entertained me, and thats all whats important for me. alicia <3

I was asking myself that the WHOLE damn time the ending was playing. Seriously. LIKE WTFH. Faldio was actually my favorite character, and then BOOM. He fucking launches a grenade, kills some soldiers and himself and no one even fucking cries or has a ceremony or ANYTHING for him? Look what they did for Isara. Now there's NOTHING left to Squad 1 because everyone's flipping dead from there.

That just really pissed me off >/ I outta knock this series down a peg for just that. What an insult to Faldio. It was technically thanks to him that their empire even won the damn battle to begin with because he KNEW Alicia was a Valkyria and tried to kill her to awaken her powers.

God damn. I could go on, but you know :/ Sadly I did enjoy the whole series so I give it an 8/10.

cliched suckiness, Maximilian 9000 gave me lulz though, probably a weak 8 because of it .. Faldio-lessness sucks too .. might end up a 7/10 though

I personally think the original game ending is superior/more dramatic it like they cut in short on purpose as well making faldio death seem pointless.

LoL WTF was that with Faldio's death? I was wondering the same. We don't even get to SEE his "heroic(?)" death. (Not exactly Heroic...they were just common soldiers lol). They didn't bother mentioning his name, a grave...NOTHING. No one even seemed to realize he was GONE/Dead.

That was ubber lame. They could've at least showed Welkin mentioning his name and maybe a tear or two?

I'm glad we got a kissing-scene at the end there :). Maximillian...lol.
Jaeger...well..I liked the guy. So I'll overlook that part.

Edy looked awesome in a dress :). I did like how we got to see some character pairings at the end. But It was a tad rushed.

8/10...Even though it's probably a 7/10. And if I was spiteful about Faldio 6/10. lol.

I really enjoyed this Anime as it compliments the game nicely. It was great to see the untold stories of what went on behind the scenes in the Empire and such. However, the heroics of Squad 7, Alicia's romance with Welkin, the death of Faldio, and the Bruhl epilogue were FAR superior in the actual video game! I really REALLY enjoyed the video games epilogue with little Isara.

I really would have liked to see the battle against the Batomis at the Barious ruins, Welkin's plan to raise the Great Vasel Bridge and drown all the empires troops crossing it, Jaegar's awesome tank vs. tank battle against Welkin, and generally more action from the Edelweiss itself. It played such a huge part in the game so I'm surprised the tank didn't even make an appearance in the last... six episodes?

One final thing I'd like to say: I was really surprised they didn't kill anyone in Squad 7 besides Isara. The thirty or so characters who make up Squad 7 in the video game can all be killed off permanently so I was shocked everyone made it out alive.

What the fuck was that. So only Faldio dies? And nobody seems to care. He doesn't even get a mention at the end, it's just "Isara and the rest" to Welkin.

Yeah. I mean, people who got fucking SHOT survived and looked fine when they greeted Alicia. Idk how that little girl who stepped off the train to meet her parents wasn't killed, either. (Did she even fight at the end?)

Whatevs, the last couple of eps of this series were just bad.

5/10 (average): decent start to the series, meandered in the middle, then became bad towards the end.

good ending episode: maximillian dies, alicia and welkin kiss, which actually helps save the day. but squad 7 goes its separate ways, everyone at least ending up with someone else, or living happily ever after.

All and all it was a decent ending episode. A little on the weak side, but the romance was there and it was an okay fight despite feeling very rushed at times. And yeah, other than glance back from Welkin no one seemed to notice Faldio's death. (Poor guy.)

As for Valkyria Chronicles as a whole, I feel the series was poorly paced. It began strong, became weak near the middle, picked up strength again, and finally ended on a fairly rushed note. I wish some of the filler-ish episodes were cut out from the near middle and middle of the series to focus more on the military fighting aspects. At times I just watched this series for the romance elements, unfortunately it took about 20 episodes for Welkin to get a clue, but in the end the romance didn't disappoint.

In my anime list I did assign this series a 6 out of 10, dropped down from my 7 out of 10. It was just an average series, fine if you watch it (and haven't played the game) but you're not missing much from avoiding this series either. I'm glad I saw it, but I don't think I want to see it twice. On the upside, at least this series was more satisfying than oh, say Xenosaga: The Animation, now that was a terrible adaptation.

I personally haven't played the game but it's nice to know that the anime deviates from the game. When I do get my hands on a PS3, Valkyria Chronicles will probably be one of the first titles I grab.
