This anime is based on the game "Valkyria Chronicles", which I personally really liked. Now the series deals with the same story as the game and starts off with much potential, the art style also stays true to the original.
BUT: sadly, this does not keep up.
The anime has much more unnecessary fanservice, random anime clichées are thrown in which the game did not have, some characters act completely different than in the game (Alicia suddenly became a Super Tsundere, and sadly that's not all that has changed).
Further, in addition to the original romance subplot, several other romances are inserted without much thought and they seem totally out of place. I mean, they made one character a love rival (in the series he had no romantic interests at all!!!), just to make the relationships more "intersting". They became more ridiculous, that's all.
Some plot elements are also altered. I know it's not easy to make a series based on a game, but most changes were not necessary.
To conclude, it is REALLY REALLY hard to watch this if you liked the game and impossible to take it seriously (they even inserted a panty joke).
I would not recommend this for anyone. If you want to enjoy a good story, play the game.
