Touka Overall 8 Story 7 Animation 7 Sound 10 Character 9 Enjoyment 8

Oct 7, 200812 of 12 episodes seen 4 of 5 people found this review helpful Set in the present day where magic, alchemy, catgirls, aliens and other species are achknowledged and present, UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie 2, in a way, sets the standard for anime's in it's genre. Comedy, drama, action, mystery, even fan service. It's all present. UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie 2 manages to blend all of these things with little effort, without getting mixed up or straying from it's original plot. In that way, I find it very unique. I haven't seen anything quite like it. Fr...om now on I'll just refer to UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie without the 2, but I'm still reviewing the second season. Although quite a simple, easy to follow and enjoy anime, as I aleady said, mystery and other elements are still present in the series. So don't expect some cheap, nothing-to-it type of plot. Sure, the plot definitely lacks when compared to such marvels as Death Note and Gurren Lagann, but UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie isn't meant to be taken too seriously. Doing so will certainly taken the enjoyment away from the series. Half of the episodes are stand alone. Usually, a problem or situation is presented, but is concluded by the end of the episode, but much like the stand alone episodes in Ghost in the Shell, these episodes are definitely not a waste of time. Once you have finished the series, you can actually see some connections between the stand alone episodes, and the actual connected story episodes that start half way through. But still, that doesn't really matter until you have seen the entire series, so why watch these episodes? Simple - because they are funny, interesting, and never get old. Each stand alone episode is just as funny as the other, and something new is presented in each one that keeps the interest level up. It stays fresh and exciting. As for the actual story, if you've seen the first season of UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, it's the same old thing, but with a few twists and turns there. The relationship between Kazuto and Valkyrie is broken, and once again Kazuto is taken away and must be saved by the one he loves. Both the actual story and stand alone stories are enjoyable and creative to an extent, although don't go expecting something amazing. The animation in UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie does it's job. It's neither amazing, nor crap, but it suits the series just right, and I can't imagine it working any other way. The action scenes seem somewhat dull at times, partially as a result of the animation, although they can be great when they want to be. However, at the end of the day, UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie isn't an action anime, so it seems a little unfair to put it down because of that. Anyway, the animation mostly just does the job, but can be great at times. As for the sound, the amazing OST in the first season is again present in the second season. I still rank it as one of my favourite anime OST's ever, if only it wasn't so hard to come by. I want the soundtrack! There is an episode where all of the characters enter a singing contest, some of the songs, especially Valkyrie's, are literally beautiful. I could never get tired of listening to them. There are also many sound effects present in UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, since many transformations do take place and parts of the anime are set in space with a kind of sci-fi feel afterall. These are all appropriate, and fit well with the scenes. Top marks for the sound, mostly because of the soundtrack, background music and insert songs. They're all so brilliant, and definitely one of the best things about the series. The characters are also one of my favourite aspects in UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie. Nearly every type of character is present - from Raine's airheaded personality to Chorus' comical yet sometimes serious nature to Akina's hidden jealousy and Sanada's obeying cuteness to Kazuto's calm and understanding self. There is every character you could ever ask for. It's even better if you're male because 95% of the characters in this series are female, and all are designed with cuteness in mind. The characters are simply amazing, you're bound to have more than one favourite. Chorus, Raine and Sanada are mine! Very nearly top marks! Enjoyment - As I said earlier, UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie is quite simple and easy to follow. That doesn't sound very fun, but infact, it is. I believe there is enjoyment to be had by everyone. Cute girls, romance, battles, catgirls, drama, fan service, comedy, etc. UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie has so many things to offer. This anime does not disappoint. Almost everything you want is there. Another one of my favourite things about UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie is where the anime is set. It's set in the present day, on earth, but space travel is possible and many of the other planets have united with earth and live together in peace. Seeing an alien in this anime isn't a rare thing. Personally, I really enjoyed that aspect of it. You know when people ask you want anime universe would you want to live in... I know mine - UFO Ultramaiden Valkrie! All that said though, I couldn't really find the patience to sit down and watch episode after episode of UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, yet I still really enjoyed it to a great extent whenever I did watch it. I watched an episode every day while I was eating dinner, and not only did I look forward to dinner because I was hungry, but also because I'd be watching UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie. It's not an anime you can really get into and watch continuously until the end, but you can really enjoy it at a steady pace. If you try to rush it, you'll find the enjoyment won't be there. Although I can only say that for myself, It could be totally different to you.... but, like it or not, almost everyone can atleast enjoy somthing from this series. Overall, I enjoyed UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie a great deal, and would recommend it to anyone, anyday. While not for everyone entirely, as already said, I do believe everyone can atleast get something out of it. Be it the romance, the action, the characters or even the fan service. I also recommend you see season one before this season, since this is season two. Season one is great, but however, not as good as season two. So season two's something you can look forward to while watching season one! Anyway, I hope this review has helped you decide whether to watch the series or not. If you're looking for an anime you can simply relax and enjoy at a steady pace, this is for you. If you want an anime that really grabs you and doesn't let go, I wouldn't recommend it. There is not much to UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, so really you have to have a preferred tatse, and be in the right mood to watch it, but if you give it a chance - It really is something unique and exciting. read more I found this review Helpful  Not Helpful  report
