Everyone ' s talking about Thanksgiving and I didn ' t even know that it ' s today . sighs that happens when you ' re basically living under a rock . Anyways , happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate this day . and all the others too , just because . <| sep |> They look perfectly fine to me . <| sep |> Play the game if you want to experience Valkyria Chronicles properly . Overall though , and I can ' t believe I ' m saying this , I so far think the Valkyria Chronicles anime is largely better with respect to everything besides the production value concerning Izetta and Fine . I feel like most of the people who are still fans of the show at this point have to still be enjoying it largely for the spectacle and are less critical of some pretty major plot conveniences . Valkyria Chronicles largely butchers the source material when it comes to the main cast , however , Izetta ' s characters are so bland and generic even compared to that . Fine is the archetypal strong princess character who will do anything for her kingdom while Izetta is basically like an ultracrappier version of Schierke from Berserk to the point that if they didn ' t have so many surfacelevel commonalities , it would be an insult to mention her in the same sentence as Izetta . Valkyria Chronicles also does a better job setting up the conflict and plot at the outset , while Izetta moreorless capitalizes on our preexisting feelings towards past World Wars as an attempt to generate pathos . That said , the story of Valkyria Chronicles is fairly predictable and the lack of gameplay obviously in the anime version really makes that flaw quite apparent . At least the plot was only stale and not infuriating in the way Izetta has been . I ' d watch neither , but if I had to pick I ' d say Valkyria Chronicles wins out as the better of two shows that I dislike . Then again , some of the Izetta action sequences are pretty epic so if a redheaded witch flying on an antigun killing randos sounds more appealing then go with that .
