Valkyria Chronicles Getting An Anime

By Spencer . November 12, 2008 . 7:07am

We’re going to be seeing a lot more of Valkyria Chronicles. Well, Japan is going to be seeing a lot more of Valkyria Chronicles. Sega is partnering with A-1 Pictures to create a televised Valkyria Chronicles animated series set to come out next spring. I hope A-1 keeps the watercolor look that made Valkyria Chronicles stand out.

A-1 Pictures previous’ work includes Persona: Trinity Soul and Kuroshitsuji which is currently broadcasting on TBS. No, not the TBS that endlessly plays reruns of Family Guy, I mean Tokyo Broadcasting System in Japan. No word if anyone is going to license this internationally, but anime has seen a downward spiral in North America with Cartoon Network pulling many shows off the air.

Woo! Already partway through the game, and I'd watch this if given the chance.

It is an excellent game, I always feel anime hurts a series (viewtiful joe added the worst characters I've ever seen who were then included in the next game).
I'm sure there are cases where this isn't the case though :)

I hold off buying this game at first due to several other games I'm playing, but after seeing my friend play the first couple of battles, I ordered a copy too, can't wait. Too bad they took out the beautiful Jpn opening song, like they do the Tales games.

I'm confident Valkyria would make a good anime, unlike World of Destruction, which was a truly horrible low quality show.
