good ep but... how long is this series supposed to be?
@Darknodin: Allison & Lillia is 26 episodes.
------------------------------------------------
The old man dying was a given, though I think I still felt something when he went. It sounded like he felt he was cheating his comrades as he lived on through life to find a suitable person to pass the secret onto. The Second Lieutenant will join the band wagon later, when he hesitates and the army treats him as an enemy. I can't help but feel that he'll become jealous of Will sooner or later. Another nicely paced episode. I'm liking how it is sort of episodic, but in a way that I still want to watch the next ep without the HUGE cliffhangers we've been getting from CG. I'm getting to like the OP too.

Let's see if we can't get more air fights. They are always exciting to watch.
Episode 4 - AniYoshi
nice... with the way that episode went, i thought it could be a short and too straightforward series. 26 eps is good as it gives time to for things to go awry on their quest! (it was way too easy so far!)Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
This was a surprise. I thought this treasure and ending the war was the major point of the series but now it's already finished. There's no indication now what might be the bigger plot anymore. I hope one surfaces and it's not just random adventures from now on.
Edit: Very good air fights, though, in this ep. That part didn't let me down a bit.
Yea i was also surprised. The Sou Beil guy seems to be in the next ep too. and that mural looks fishy!

Well, decided to watch all 4 episodes released by AniYoshi this morning, and found the series quite good. I have to say though, that those air fights were cool and well done. Was I the only one that found those airplanes wierd with their propellers at the back of the plane?
As mentioned before here, was surprised at how early they found the treasure and ended the War... wonder were it'll go from here. Will something big happen around the world to turn it into chaos once again? Will this series will be about 4 episode mini-arcs? Whichever the case, I hope there's still some action and airplane fights. And someone give Wil a pair of balls while we're at it.
There have been such airplanes every now and then. I'm not sure what's the bigger idea behind it, though, whether it grants some benefit or something (other than that it removes the need to sync the machine gun with the propeller). I had a feeling in this series it was just so that the fighters of the other country would look different compared to the other.
Yeah, I agree with you. They still look akward though.
My only real complaint was how the bad guys were dispatched in the cave. I thought it was kidna dumb for the jackass to shoot into the air and have the cave collapse on them, it was quite anti-climatic.
Allison is a cool character, but I sure hope Wil finds some balls somewhere in this series... else his shooting skills will be nonexistant throughout the series.
The predator has its propeller in the back
its called a pusher propeller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pusher_configuration)
just a thing i realized... pusher props are exactly like jet engines.
I think the shooting into the air thing was because he got shot on the shoulder, losing control of the gun. It makes sense, especially since this show tries be quite realistic, and a lot of stupid things happen in reality. I thought it was fine.
I do agree it is a bit anti-climactic though.
Peace.
The arc of searching for Wil's lost pair of balls... Or maybe not.
Episode 5 - AniYoshi

Edit: Wil is well under way to enter the hall of dense characters... A real pity considering how cute Allison is. Well, in any case it's beginning to look like the whole war and finding a way to end it was just a plot device to build a suitable setting for the greater story. Or maybe it's still far too early to talk about any bigger pictures for this could be another small arc, but who knows. I have a feeling, in any case, that the just want to have a long war and the tensions created by it in back pockets, and otherwise concentrate on more mundane and smaller scale issues.

I think it'll be a small arc currently on the scheme of things... I think we'll have a couple of episodes devoted to the current situation and then have another arc dealing with the politician.
Anyways, nice transitional episode with a decent cliffhanger. It also looks like Allison and Wil didn't take any credit for the discovery, I don't know why. What I want to know though, is when this supposed Lillia is going to show up and if she exists.
I think half of the show is devoted to that, so around episode 12-13.
Peace.
I've never been in the habit of spoiling myself with any external sources, nor did I this time, but just looking at the voice actor list over at ANN, the same seiyuu is marked for both Allison and Lillia. So, it's reasonable to assume she exists, but it's another question of whether she's another character or just another name for Allison once the plot has advanced enough.
I just realized that my comment may be seen as a spoiler by some, and for that I apologize. I only wanted to reply to the best of my knowledge to the question posted.
Peace.
Spoilers found in an informational site like ANN and anidb it's understandable. Still, there a ton of possibilities in play... twin sister? She becomes a spy?
Damn Wil, take the hint. Another enjoyable episode. I thought the air force guys at the beginning were quite funny. "We're not anyone suspicious." I myself was half confused as to why it was named Allison&Lillia, since for two episodes I was referring to it as Allison&Wil. Looks like after this arc, Fi will become a main character, as I suspect her to be the surviving royal blood.
