Based of the highly praised PS3 RPG, Here's Valkyria Chronicles:
For those of you who own a PS3 but have not yet picked up this game, I highly recommend it. It is a beautiful game with its own unique art style, a great story, great characters and it won a number of awards and a cult following. If you haven't heard of the game then blame SEGA's marketing group.
The first episode kicks it off with some history and it introduces the current conflict between two nations and the country caught in between. The country of Gallia is being invaded by its bigger neighbors for its resources called Ragnite.
Welkin Gunther is a young college student who returns back to his hometown of Bruhl to help his younger sister evacuate. On his way home, he sketches the local fauna and is the arrested under the impression of being a spy. He is arrested by Alicia Melchiott; a member of the local patrol and from there his story begins from a reserved nature boy to his adventures in the military.
The animation looks great and if you look closely, the animation has a storybook feel to it; just like the game. The story has a nice pace; despite being an adaptation from a game the story doesn't feel rushed. With charming characters, Alicia stands out as a great female lead. Accompanied by a great opening and cute closer; this anime is worth the time and attention.
