I think it's incredibly stupid to avoid fighting humans for any reason. We have that vulnerability and if we don't control the situations we have to deal with it, it WILL come up unexpectedly. We absolutely cannot avoid this through quest choices; the genre and plot will force a conflict with humans on us at some point.

Better to struggle with this in some tournament and because of that, be able to deal with it when the stakes are actually significant.
Actually, Anna's problem isn't that she has problem with fighting humans. It's that if she perceives you as threat, then you will be acquianted with the word 'exterminate.'

Like, see the update with the scan and sweep sim training.
 
Basically, in quests players will at times choose truly bone-headed decisions not out of a desire for "shinies," as shocking as that is, but out of a desire to follow the Character's beliefs. Gambert was a knight who held chivalry above everything, even his own family. Here, Anna refuses to fight humans as she sees the internecine conflict as downright evil, and thus the players won't vote to see her fight in the tournament, fun as that would be.

Edit: realized that wasn't what you meant.
Gambert Rambert fought a demon, that was almost guaranteed to kill him, to save a lady that a vampire loved, because Chivalry. He then proceeded to jump into Hell to keep said lady out of hell, after surviving the demon. Then he made his way through hell, overcame trials, and came out the other side nearly a broken man. When he got home he found his father dead from sadness and his families inheritance lost due to his absence for a whole year.

He got right back in the saddle and kept doing chivalrous things, even when it cost him his life.

It's kinda both. Anna know that she will kill humans who try to kill other humans, but she still hates the thought of people dying.
 
It doesn't help that she honestly thinks the whole 'human vs human' thing is a stupid waste of time. We voted 'no' on joining the vanguard before we had all that other info, solely on that fact.
 
Guiiis why'd you have to have to have such cool discussions when I'm asleep?
My two cents regarding the Mary Sue discussion is no, because of the way this is written from Annas perspective we can see her decision making process and realise how bad it is and there is no attempt to sell her flaws as positives or otherwise cute. If I where watching this from Koji's perspective however she might look like a fairly heavy handed Sue what with the 'It's classified, gogo super travelator' and other stuff.

If the story were from Koujirou's perspective I'd be arguing vehemently that she's not a sue. She's hax, sure, but she doesn't twist characterization or the narrative around her the way a Sue does. Not even our hero gives any more shits about her than he logically would about a teammate of her ability. She's just a weirdo side character with some great comedy moments, and a bar for the protag to aim for.

Hell, look at how much fauxchan loves her.

Well fauxchan is fauxchan. I will say they made the right waifu choice though.

That guy sounds baller as hell.
Pinnacle Knight, failure in forsight.

How did it end?

The GM basically got tired of Gambert escaping death literally dozens of times (he'd expected him to die like a decade ago in-game, which was almost 2 years ago IRL. He died on the 3rd anniversary of the quest), so he had Gambert get hit by a Khornate death curse with actual no chance of saving himself.

Slannesh got him when he died, because he basically flipped her off during his time in Hell so she staked a claim on his soul.

But Gambert got the last laugh, because of how much The Lady loved him.

Deep in the realm of chaos, far into the circles of seduction and nestled far from the beaten paths of the Circle of Vainglory lies a bramble ridden, untended portion of Slaanesh's garden. No daemon is permitted to enter, under pain of oblivion, and Slaanesh itself visited only once before departing in such a fury that no amount of drink, indolence or excess could becalm him for a great time. Within this one, solitary corner of the pristinely kept pruned maze is a lone statue in the shape of a man. Naked and simple, with flaws of scar and battle upon his body.

Though Slaanesh will not speak of it, and those who know of it dare not utter of it's existence within the Prince of Pleasure's garden. Here alone is the curse of the circle of Vainglory turned upon it's master, for the statue, who's plaque of identity has been stripped away by furious fingers, speaks not in tortured repetition of it's own failures, but those of Slaanesh itself. Yet in spite of Slaanesh's great fury, he is too prideful to let the soul free, and so a single voice, hidden amongst the cacophony of tortured wails and sobs that is only heard by those who had fallen into Slaanesh's clutches, speaks out in mockery of the lord of that debauched realm.

One might ask, why would Slaanesh allow such a soul to thrive in the depths of his realm, so close to the seat of his own power?

Only two beings in existence know of the cause, one is Slaanesh itself, who will not admit, nor does it believe, that even it's vast power has limits. The other...Will speak her tale, in good time.

spoilered quote gets cut off and I have no idea how to expand it.

If you select the entire spoiler with your mouse you can copy and paste it, as seen below:

Edit: Now it's working for me.

Eh, moving on to the next topic.

I was just kind of curious whether how all the cast look like or interacted if everyone is gender bent. Basically instead of the Harem genre, it became the Otome genre.

To get a better idea, go to Batoto, type in IS!, then go to page 38 and start reading onwards. Basically IS! is a 4koma Infinite Stratos comic and the idea is that there's a game called Infinite Fortune in which it was based on the actual plot but with everyone genderbent.

Setsuna: The angry marshmallow type. Probably has red hair, may have a filthy mouth, but is secretly kind to kittens or something.
Shuri: The prince (standoffish type). He's probably the student council president. No one can meet his demands; he asks of them nothing he doesn't ask of himself, but he is unreasonably perfect and they are not. Probably has a fanclub.
Sandra: The prince (kind type). Probably the vice president to Shuri's president. Helps people interact with Shuri by being similarly untouchable, but friendly with it. Smaller fanclub than Shuri's. May have hints of shoujo-ai.
Anna: The (attractive) weirdo. He's like a cat that looks super serious, but then it'll do something goofy and cute but not recognize it was ever anything but super serious.

Continuing on with Anna the kitty-cat...
 
There was a lot of talk about anime Project Valkyrie Core, but what about voice acting? Is there industry's big names? Or just going with archetypes?
What about Anna's voice? Is it Ayanami Rei\Yuuki Nagato flat? Or just soft and somewhat deep? Or maybe hoarse?

You know, just the sheer dissonance, make it upbeat sounding.
