| Hooray, just yesterday I thought about how nice it'd be if there was an VC anime... and there it is. Studio A-1 Pictures (known for "Kannagi - Crazy Shrine Maidens") will bring us the anime. The first episode is scheduled to air in April 2009. Official Homepage I can't wait. >.< |
| *waits* TAKING TOO LOOOOONG |
 |
| AWESOME! Kannagi has pretty good animation, so that's good. I hope they try to keep the style of the game and characters. I'm the most worried about the directing though, because I think everyone knows how most game-turned-anime become. |

De-JaY said: Fui said: I think everyone knows how most game-turned-anime become. Clannad, Kanon, Air, Higurashi, ef? xD I meant platform video games turned anime, like Xenosaga, Disgaea, and Final Fantasy. Visual Novels sometimes turn out decent as anime although I really don't play them, so I'm just basing it on the general consensus. |
| I just hope it's a 20ish episode series and it keeps the water-color art style. |

| WOAH! Valkyria Chronicles becoming an anime already. O_O I'm still on Chapter 3 in the game. |
| I'm cautiously optimistic about the anime. I doubt it'll live up to the game - history is not on its side, and even good adaptations suffer from some issues (Tales of the Abyss is good, but still suffers from a distinct sense of being disjointed due to the source material being a game). But I'm sure I'll watch it without fail. |

gokieks said: I'm cautiously optimistic about the anime. I completely agree wit you on this. There have also been quite a few game-to-anime releases out that have disappointed me greatly. However, if they can somehow keep to the flow of the storyline of the game without deviating too much, it will turn out great. But the game will likely remain dominant in my eyes. In my game at the moment, Marina Wolfstan is almost the main character of the game I use her so much. In the anime I doubt she will get much, if any, focus at all due to her not being a primary character. |
| This is just great. I hope the anime will be like the game. April 2009, added to my "Plan to watch" list. |
 |
| u just spoiled me sakuko-san T_T whos this Marina Wolfstan now...I'm muchly deeply veryly curious Dx. I'm only up to ch 8 atm... |
  |
| hope Vyse and Aika gets airtime. Then perhaps Skies of Arcadia will get an anime adaptation. sakuko said: ...Marina Wolfstan is almost the main character of the game I use her so much.

Arbel said: besides shes playable since the very beginning Nah, the time recruits can be.. recruited are comepletly random, some can never be recruited at all, only Vyse and Aika are garunteed to show up at some point no matter what. I didn't get Marina til around chapter 8 |
|
GoTF said: only Vyse and Aika are garunteed to show up at some point no matter what. And I got both from the beginning. >:3 |
| I'm pretty sure all the recruits are available eventually, it's just the order in which they appear that is random (with the exception of the "hidden" recruits, where you need to meet certain conditions for them to appear). |
"You live and learn. At any rate, you live." ~Douglas Adams (RIP) |
| The official website has been updated, and I have to say that I'm very disappointed that they're using a more generic anime art style. I mean, I understand the reason for it (trying to make it look like the game would probably have been a lot of work and expense), but I'm still wistful. |
"You live and learn. At any rate, you live." ~Douglas Adams (RIP) |
| I'm extremely disappointed as well, as the artistic style is probably the most distinctive and unique thing they can capture about the game (not much they can do to invoke the equally distinctive gameplay, of course). I'm sure it could still be quite good, and I'll definitely watch it and find out, but yeah... that's awful news. |
 |
| Well, I'm hoping to see the story a lot like the game. Not a lot of changes done, I hope. Anyways, I sure would love to see a couple of my fave scenes in the game...like... |
| Let the war begin! Valkyria Chronicles Anime has started pumpin outta cyberspace! Makes me wanna start playin it again <0.0> |
 |
| I didn't play the game. I haven't a PS3 ;~; But, i'm reading the manga and it have some differences with the anime begin. Could be the anime with a different version from the game story? o.o' |
 |
| Ohhh I loved epsidoe 3 so far, fantastic, graphics are very similair to the game, cept the leave the action words out, which was a bit of a disapointment but I guess it had to be done.... ^_^ x |
| I hope they don't stray too far from the game. Episode 6 seemed to be a complete filler (Ellet episode I guess, although the way they handled it was a little weak imo) with a fair amount of QUALITY. I hope the next one picks back up into the story. Alicia reactions are still awesome. At first I was very skeptical of the anime Alicia but her reactions are too good to dislike. |
| ok i found out about this when i was just surfing the net one night and remembered that the new FMA series had started on the weekend before, so i go to download the newest Ep and while i was there i found IT! now me being a big fan of the game and wanting to play it SO BAD, finding out it had an anime made about it was AMAZING, i was so suprised i started to hyperventilate and had to calm myself down because i was so excited. |
| PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN When the going get tough, the though get GIANT FIGHTING ROBOTS!!!  |
| Well now that its out. Im really enjoying it. Drama, Romance, a bit of comedy exactly what i like |
 |
| Does anyone know whats taking ep 9 of the anime so long to be subbed??? |
| PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN When the going get tough, the though get GIANT FIGHTING ROBOTS!!! |
| idk, but for some reason I really really love this anime. its very interesting, even tho i've never played the game or read the manga. |

| Valkyria Chronicles episode 9 is out |
   |
| Selveria actually looked decent for once in ep 11, thank god. I'm not really a fan of her but the anime just didn't do her justice imo. |
| Valkyria Chronicles episode 10 sub eng/raw out Valkyria Chronicles episode 11 raw out |
|
| Valkyria Chronicles episode 11 sub eng/raw (watch online or download) out |
|
| I hope everyone knows the anime is based upon the manga adaption then the game hence not every episode is a battle. |
| Vlakyria Chronicles episode 12 raw out |
|
| Are they skipping some of the battles or will they be shown later, are they sticking to the same time line as the game? obtw the anime is getting better every episode. |
| "I'm still striving to make a story the likes of which no one has ever read before." Oda Sensei |
| let's just say they use material from the manga and game but they make(to a certaon degree) their own plot. |
| Valkyria Chronicles ep 12 raw/sub eng out |
|
| Valkyria Chronicles 13 Sub/Raw out |
|
| The stories aren't the same exactly. I'm starting to like the anime version a lot more. Tons more interesting. |
 |
| this anime is awesome |
| The anime is based off the manga and yeah its awesome. |
| I like it also, never played the game tho.. I like the way they kind of put a 'wood' element in the brown/reddish colors.. never seen that used before, it's nice ^^ and the story and the characters are not bad either :D and offtopic but, thanks for the invite, never knew there was a club for this anime ^^ |
| "Don't believe in the you that believes in me. Don't believe in the me that believes in you. Believe in the you that believes in yourself." |
| This is my first time watching a war anime. I must say I'm glad I did. I love it so much! |
 |
| i completed the anime and i loved it. but i wonder, since the anime is probably adapted from the manga are there any big differences between the anime and the game itself ? I mean except minor changes of the order of some parts - or left out battles maybe ? |
| I started out playing the game and watched the show afterwards.. I was a little disappointed at points, but the anime made me cry terribly .____. so it is a good one.. |
