Anime based off game

[xoxoverdose]

I don't know about yall but I had watched the Valkyria Chronicles anime after seeing this get such good reviews... its off the chain if I do say so myself. There are minor differences in the story but overall it's beautfully animated and I recommend to watch !

Indeed, the naime made me play the game and I love them both. Also recommend VC3 OVA.

Interesting. I personally disagreed, and found the Anime to be a case study in how Not to adapt something to an Anime. But to each their own I suppose.

The anime is generally underrated - it's very faithful to the game and further develops many of the characters' personalities. It was a great watch for me.

I couldn't finish watching the anime, Alicia's personality was too different from the game, too "tsundere" I'd say. I stopped watching it the moment they killed Vyse.

I personally agree fully with landman. That sort of stuff might fit Juliana or Rosie, but not Alicia of all people. My RPing gorup has a joke that that's what Alicia would be like on her period...

I wouldn't say that. Alicia's just the most outlandish example. But shoehorning the Faldio love triangle bit, seriously warping Alicia's personality and by extension a lot of the romance plot, giving the supporting characters even less shrift, and making Welkin act llke a hothed seriously pulled it apart IMHO.

That being said, I do think *some* of the changes were interesting or beneficial. The idea of the "orphanage" for ALicia and Selvaria was interesting, as were the little skits on the side. But on balance I don't think it makes up for what was lost.

The anime ruined Alicia's personality completely. The artstyle didn't do the game justice either. It's not a terrible adaption but the game is far superior in my opinion. Personally I feel like the anime basically set the trend for VC2, which went completely overboard with the anime influence.

I'm not sure I'd say they ruined it "completely." There were still a few characteristic and touching moments there, like at the end. But it definitely put a monkey wrench in things.

But I agree that it had a baleful influence on VC2 and possibly beyond. I personally like the game and character sfar better than most seem to, but I do feel they handled it badly.

Considering I've been part of a major RP that takes place in VC2's time and is about fixing it, I'ee had plenty of itme to think about the problems...


Still, it's not the world's worst thing ever. As a supplement or introduction there are far worse things. And I don't grudge anybody who likes it.

I personally loved every second of it like a Anime Band of Brothers, very very well done in my opinion. but then again i loved Blood +, Gungrave, Claymore, Samaurai 7,Samaurai Champloo and Ghost in the Shell Stand Allone 1 + 2. and i have may others i have yet to watch.

[Oh crap, it's him!]

Ahhhh ... crap ...
You got me off guard. Loved the anime. Will rewatch it and its OVAs!
