After catching up with Valkyria Chronicles at ep 16, here comes another 4 episodes of marathon with Phantom this time. I stalled the show after watching 2 episodes due to licensing by FUNimation. But decided to pick it back up because of the awesomeness of the show.

Won’t talk much since I need to sleep for there’s school tomorrow. What a bummer… I really hope Phantom don’t end badly, because this show gives the impression of the type with a tragic ending. I just love Ein very much. I heard of a young loli character being introduced in later episodes which sees Zwei getting “romantically” involved with her. I support Ein and i’m sure many of you do as well. But anyway, this post is considered outdated but I always do outdated post but I will catch up soon enough like that of Valkyria Chronicles.

Reuqiem literally means a celebration of the dead via means of a song. But not necessarily always performed at the funeral. Note the title of this show, Requiem for the Phantom…

Valkyria Chronicles eps. 13 – 16 ~Unexpressed Feelings~

As the title says, I shall talk about episode 16 since it leaves a deep impression in my heart. Let’s talk about Isara’s attitude which is really commendable. Even though she is discriminated by many people because she is a Darcsen, she does not sccumb to fate and fights to prove herself. Currently, she is trying really hard to get along with Rosie. Having seen Rosie’s past, her parents death were somewhat the fault of the Darcsens. However, this does not mean that all Darcsens are like this. In the next few episodes, hopefully things will patch up. Looking at Rammel and Isara, they look really compatible with one another. This is one of the romance that is slowly developing as the episodes pass by. It’s simple yet the most beautiful of the romance in the show. Isara even called Rammel by his first name in episode 16 when he asked Isara whether she needed a ride. After some teasing by Isara, they went to the market together and viewed the sunset. Hopefully more things develop as we see Rammel changing from the past where he used to hate Isara to now having feelings for her.

On the other hand, the main romance of the show is a love triangle. This is probably the most painful part to watch of romance series. The show does well to blend in drama, action and romance together. Episode 16 dedicates the title unexpressed feelings because Welkin did not have the courage to express his feelings. I think it is obvious that Welkin do like Alicia romantically. It is practically comfirmed that Alicia likes Welkin. But yet, when the two of them are patching things up, Welkin mentioned Faldio. This raises the question of Welkin choosing friendship instead of love. That’s not what Alicia wanted and she asked Welkin if he is okay with Faldio and her. She told Welkin that Faldio confessed to her. The episode ends soon after.

Thoughts: I expect things to happen but lets hope that no casualties shall befall the entire crew. The confusion of Welkin’s relationship with Alicia and Faldio may affect the Squad 7 as well. As for the romance part, I make it clear that I support Welkin as well as Rammel all the way. As for Alicia, she starts to consider Faldio which means doubt is beginning to cover her. Welkin should be clear of his feelings soon.
