Synopsis

Valkyria Chronicles is set in a fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe. The continent, called Europa, is divided into two main powers: The Imperial Empire, a monarchy in the east, and the alliance of democracies called the Federation in the west. In this world, there is a very important resource called ragnite; its uses range from fueling weapons of war to use in medical treatments. Since ragnite is such an important resource, the Federation and the Empire are constantly at war with each other for it.

The story takes place in the neutral country of Gallia, known for its bountiful reserves of ragnite, when the Empire decides to invade and seize the ragnite for themselves. The story follows Welkin, the son of a former war hero; Isara, Welkin's Darcsen adoptive sister; and Alicia, a member of the Bruhl town watch, as they fight the Imperials in the ragtag Gallian militia group, Squad 7.

Squad 7 fights to regain their homes and livelihoods with Welkin as the squad leader and commander of the Edelweiss tank; Alicia as a scout; Isara as the pilot of the Edelweiss, and a variety of colorful individuals.

I don't know what's so good about this anime, but I'm totally in love with it. At first I thought It'll be another (too) pathetic anime about fighting and bringing freedom to world. But it's not like that. Characters are well drown and I love all of them. I can't say much about the story yet, but for now it seems quite good. And what about enjoyment? Why 10? Well it's because it's not a comedy (don't know why, but I don't like anime comedies much) and yet it makes me smile really often. So, go and start watching it!

This anime is a completely unexpected gem since I didn't expect anything extraordinary from an animation based on a game and was greatly surprised... Both the story and characters are outstanding, you will find everything in this a anime: love story,action,complicated drama,mystery and much more... I don't know what I could compare this anime to... However if you like animation like Code Geas, you should like this one as well...

Similar art style, characters and setting.

Aside from the time differences, setting differences, and a major technology gap between the two series...this two anime series are quite similar in that both are fighting an oppressive empire, both main characters can be hard to predict, both main character have that "female bodyguard", and both series are top notch above anything else :)
