Valkyria Chronicles PS3 Game Gets Anime

Valkyria Chronicles - now there's a game I would've been tempted to try, had I actually had a good reason to buy a PlayStation 3. Or a child to trade for it. The game was just released by SEGA in North America and Europe a week or two ago, and it's an action-RPG (with some strategy elements) set in a World War-like scenario, but with a distinctive anime look to it - seen the trailers?


With that kind of look, one could say the game was predestined to get an anime adaptation; which just so happens to be the case. A TV anime series, to be more precise, titled Valkyria of the Battlefield (Senjou no Valkyria: Gallian Chronicles). There's already an official website up and running, so far revealing that the anime is being produced by the still-young studio A-1 Pictures (Persona: Trinity Soul, Kannagi, among few others).

If this seems like your kind of thing, look out for spring 2009, when it's scheduled to start airing in Japan.
