Valkyria Chronicle Anime

We haven't seen the game yet, and already they are planning to animate it. Aniplex's A1 pictures will be producing it, but will it follow the same CANVAS style that the game is known for? Anime fans will be attracted to the variety of colourful characters and its war themed storyline, modelled from World War II. How else are we attracted to it as well?

Selveria Bles: Hot and Cool?

'On the 15th day of the third month of the year 1935, the Empire began its assault in earnest. A formal declaration of war was made upon Gallia.
Though it was only a small front in a massive continental assault, what followed would prove that a tiny nation could best a military giant.
These events would tell a story of tragedy hidden in the mists of time.
A story of courage and of trust, of persecution and hate...
And of love blooming, even through the flames of war.
What follows is a record of this conflict, and of those who fought, lived and died.'

~Irene Koller, "On the Gallian Front"
