Senjou no Valkyria 3: Tagatame no Juusou

Story- 3
I you are trying to cramp an entire game into a 2 30mins long OVA is not going to work, because for those who do not have the chance to play the game is somewhat hard to follow. The setting of the story is in the same time as the original anime, but at different place. The story pacing is very rushed, in the 1st OVA they did a fair job of introducing the 'Nameless' squad an overall look of all soldiers in the middle of a war. That's is the end of it with some other talks. 2nd OVA skip straight into Riela valkriya's power action, and the meeting up with 'Squad 7' members. Finally it the OVA ended. Terrible story pace, but is to be expected for 2 OVAs it would be much better for for it to be adapted into an anime, because you will not fully understand the story without playing the game.

Art- 7
The art looks good, good CG in the battles, but the game's art is much better.

Sound- 10
I am a fan of Valkyria Chronicle's soundtrack, and so I would love the music in this one too. Tones of the war music is serious as the theme address. Great to listen to them again.

Character- 6
The only characters that you will get a good grasp on is Kurt the leader of Nameless squad a very smart strategist. Next is Imca one glace she is a tomboy. Riela can't be more obvious. As for the other members very brief details, but you do get some ideas of what their personality is upon their way of speaking.

Enjoyment- 4
The game dominate the OVAs. If you don't have the chance to play the game well you won't like the OVA, but is not like you have a choice anyway becuase their is not english version of the game. So the OVA is really pointless compare it to the depth of the game's story. read more
