I’m not sure if I will ever be able actually play the game that the OVA is based of but because I’m as big Valkyria Chronicles fan I ordered the OVA nevertheless. It looks much more mature than the first season and I’m looking forward to watch it when some decent subs are available. And the characters from the first game / the anime series are also in it by the way *_*.

BD Info
Picture Quality / Audio Quality:
It looks quite good, but sometimes a little bit blurry. They used a lot of tricks to increase the realism, e.g. changing the sharpness of elements to allow more depth. I didn’t see any banding so far, only sometimes some choppy outlines. Unfortunately, they only put a stereo mix on the disc. For such an action-related OVA a 5.1 mix would have made more sense.
Menu Shots:
The menu is quite simple but fits to the show and offers some background music.
Bonus Material:
The only bonus material on the disc is an audio commentary with Yuuichi Nakamura (Kurt Irving) and Susumu Chiba (Welkin Gunther).
