Senjou no Valkyria: Gallian Chronicles

Post by Full Metal Sempai » Thu Apr 09, 2009 4:44 pm

Finally,an anime using a war theme that doesn't include mecha but real ammo,tanks,grenades and rifles.
Based on armaments used so far,it could definitely fit in before the WWII period...

Taken from AniDB:
"When Imperial forces attack the small border town of Bruhl, Welkin Gunther, son of late General Belgen Gunther, is forced to fight for his life alongside Town Watch captain Alicia Melchiott. Along with Welkin's adopted sister Isara, the three escape to Gallia's capitol and subsequently join the country's militia forces. As members of the newly-formed Squad 7, they must work to repel the invading Imperial forces and discover the true purpose of the invasion itself.

An anime adaptation of the Japanese tactical role-playing game developed by Sega exclusively for the PlayStation 3."

Haven't played the game but I'm so watching the anime,at least for now.Hope it'll progress well...

First episode is out,I've checked Ayako's version and seems very good.
Opening and ending are nothing exceptional but not bad either.
Still,the dialogues must have been the most weird ever heard...especially the main male character talks nonsense practically 70% of the time.

Is Alicia's seiyuu the same as Minami Kana or is it my imagination? 8-)

The game was awesome and the anime is awesome. Yay they actually made an anime based on a console game that's good! Not that it hasn't been done before but not very often.

You are not imagining it, Marina Inoue voices Alicia and Kana.

And Welkin does get lost in his love of nature. :D

Perhaps that's why I love it so much. I can relate :).

The singer of the opening song is someone who used to post her karaoke on youtub3. I thought that it was really cool how she went to Japan and actually became a Jpop singer. Props to HIMEKA for her debut.
