Valkyria Chronicles? In my anime? It's more likely than you think!

So Valkyria Chronicles has it's own anime which airs April 4th in the land of "They'll Turn Anything into an Anime." Which airs dangerously close to another anime based off of something.

Basic info:

* Uses same music from the game. Game composer, Hitoshi Sakimoto, is working on this anime. Directed by Yasutaka Yamamoto and written by Michiko Yokote.

* Story development will differ slightly from the game.

* "Ayoko" is going to sub it.

* Sega keeping a close eye on development.

* Characters shown:

What do you guys think? Is Ayoko a good company? Obviously, it's going to be a little different than the game, but the story remains the same. Since they've shown some of the minor characters, I wonder if they're going to show them all? I'll watch it simply for the minor characters, they're a riot in game!!

Also, japanese trailers for the VC DLC...

The Selvaria pack:



Holy Shit!! This looks awesome!!

The Edy pack:



Great, The japanese fan-fave, the kid who LOVES hurting himself, the gay guy, the "jew", the stoic sniper, and the chick who hates killing people which sometimes causes you to lose a turn, all in the same pack... I'm, like, SO gonna buy this!!

Hard EX mode:



Self-explanitory. HOLY SHIT!! This looks intense!! Plus, double the money and exp points!!

These packs also seem to be adding new guns. I'm excited!! And the new "S" rank for mission completion.

And that's that... Hopefully, enough people support all this to make up for Valkyria Chronicles lackluster sales and convinces Sega to make aother game!!

This just in!! VC has a manga adaptation!!
