The issue I am having now is that i am judging the anime by the game. There are ofcoarse differences so far (One being that the side characters are much more important in the anime, and most of them are "pants on head retarded") but I am not sure whether this will add or take away from the story.

We like your reviews, please... can't you waste a little space and time for popular shows?... you blogged Gundam 00, why not FMA? :P Blogging some popular shows may attract more readers and of course they will know about master pieces, but not so popular, like Toward The Terra. Please, don't destroy me... :P please please... oh god... i'm not very well... :P(again) I read your blog since you blogged Toward The Terra, an amazing show in my opnion.

I understand your reasons but your blog is the only INTERESTING one in the whole internet. I don't want to read summarys or ohter boring opinions about fma like I did on almost 7 other blogs. Is there any chance that you will start blogging it later on when the series will go in an other direction than the first anime? I hope you're not mad at me because of this comment and I apologize for my bad english ;-) psgels, I even read your reviews of series I don't really like and I don't watch. But reading your blog is just so entertaining :-) psgels, I admit I’m very diappointed because you won’t blog FMA.

It doesn't match the individual events in the game, but the overall plot marches. It looks like from the episode 3 preview that it will cover chapter 3 of the game pretty well, where we meet the rest of the platoon, and Welkin proves to be a tactical genius. If this ends up a 26 episode series, it should cover the whole game including everyone's side plot The anime is following the game pretty closely, the first episode covered the game’s Prologue and chapter 1 (a chance meeting with some scouts, and a short fight where you just have to run away), and episode 2 covered chapter 2: where welkin’s tank saves the town watch so if can finish evacuating.

But it might not be such a bad idea I guess as FMA would probably end up being a very long series to blog. I guess I will look forward to your thoughts in your monthly posts instead.

The great Japanese voice cast will not be appreciated much by Western players, but the English voice cast is quite good also. What really stands out though is the innovative combat engine, which manages to convey a sense of real-time and urgency while actually being turn-based. By the way, the guy's name is Welkin, not Welchim :-) Without having seen the episode, the "military academy or institution" he and Alicia join is most likely the Gallian militia.

Well, you can add me to the list of people who thinks it was a great show that you should really check out if you have the time. "the anime is a rendition on the semi-popular PS3 Strategy-RPG game" It's more like not very popular but extremely well-received among everyone that's played it. It's a great game but very few people seem interested. "The game is supposedly THE best thing on the PS3 right now" eh, not <i>the</i> best, but among the best. Disgaea 3 and VC are my favourite RPGs on the console, MGS4 and Uncharted are the best action games and Street Fighter IV is the best beat 'em up. “He was the episode director of Ookiku Furikabutte (which as I heard was really good)”

The game was really great so I already know a good portion of the plot twists, but I want to know what the anime does with them. The plot won't be getting really interesting though for a while. Still, in a few episodes you'll probably start getting to understand the world of Valkyria Chronicles and the underlying problems with it. Well I’m glad you’re blogging this series.

The militia suck (expected I suppose), but god it is that hard to hit people standing out in the open while you are behind cover? Leave it to super-tank to save the day... jeez.

(: Yeah, this is an RPG anime. The game is supposedly THE best thing on the PS3 right now, and has achieved a bit of cult classic status, so it's not too surprising it made the transition to anime. It should be interesting to see your take on it, though, since you've (most likely) never played the game. I'm sure, as with shows like PopoloCrois and the various Tales anime, that this is one specifically meant for fans of the game, so whether or not it holds up on its own is entirely dependent on the quality of its writing and presentation. -Tom Drat, Meultima beat me to it.

The shading method in the anime is an attempt to duplicate that game's unique Canvas shader engine.

Just saw the first episode and dropped it. The stupdit of this show goes to the extreme level. After they entered the building, the couple just forgot they were being chased and started talking as if nothing were happening. And the guys after them took to many time to enter the damned house! I can see it will take the same path as "Tales of the Abys", where situations were just ridiculous. This anime sucks! Just saw the first episode and dropped it.
