When I first played Valkyria Chronicles 2 (I don't have PS3 for me to play the first one), I got addicted to it because for me it's well done and since then, I have become a fan of the franchise. Here, I'm about to write a review about Valkyria Chronicles 3, set in the same time of the first game, and since this is my first review and I'm not a native English speaker, expect it to be somewhat meh. When it comes to the same series with different setting type, Valkyria Chronicles is no exception to it for it having a Valkyria and a group orsquad fighting the Empire and because of that, people may feel disappointed because of the repititiveness. In a way, I sometimes can't help but to feel the same.

An OVA composed of only two episodes, I must say that Valkyria Chronicles 3 is rushed because you just can't fit the whole game into an anime with two episodes but I can't say that it's that bad. Valkyria Chronicles 3 still gives you the goodness of the game and despite of it being rushed, the action scenes and how it's done is pretty good imo.

As for the art, it's the same as the first anime, neat and clean and fitting for the theme. Every uniform is well detailed and the color combination is appealing and the equipnments and tanks as well.

Valkyria Chronicles 3 isn't far from the quality of the sound of its predecessors, it's still as good as before. From the voice actors to the background music, the OP and ED, it doesn't give you a tiny little bit of annoyance at all. Every voice actor's voice suits the character they are playing pretty well. As for the music, I listened to it for like 20 times and unlike some of the new songs being used in new anime, the quality of the music is far better than today's.

Because of the series being short, you may not quite get the personality of every character in the series. You may have known a little of their personality but for me it's still not enough and therefore it shouldn't have been an OVA but a 12-episode one or like Valkyria Chronicles, a 26-episode one and because of this, I'll give the character rating a 6.

tl;dr Valkyria Chronicles is a short and rushed series and the overall goodness of it comes from the art, sound and on how the fight is done.

If you're looking for a short OVA that has action, Valkyria Chronicles 3 isn't the best but it can give you the action you're looking for though Valkyria Chronicles is better and can satisfy you in all aspect or you can just play the game though VC3 is only in Japanese.
