Good enough to watch.
Episode nine was a pure Imperial episode, so no Welkin and Alicia. It also shows that there are traitors amongst the grand army (not surprisingly), and some people are trying to get rid of Maximillian. However, those assassins are only trained to take out the grunts because Maximillian himself seems to possess some mystic strength to take them out easily. Not a bad episode, though.
Episode ten (I think shinta|hikari might love this) is a very heavily Welkin x Alicia. I'm kind of surprised that Welkin noticed small changes in the weather to take cover in the snowstorm, but that's Welkin for ya. It was pretty warming to see Welkin get shy and try to change the subject before Alicia became lovey with him.
