Information has slowly been spreading regarding an anime series based on the Valkyria Chronicles PS3 game starting up in Japan in April.  The anime’s trailer closely mirrors its game counterpart, even boasting the same  amazing music from the game as composer Hitoshi Sakimoto has signed on to do the score.  Click the jump for the trailer.

The animation style found in this trailer is much more traditional than the toned-down art style of the game.  The characters appear much more expressive, and we can only hope for the dialogue to be a bit more “lively,” compared to some of the drab conversations from the game.  Judging from the scenes in the trailer this appears to purely be a direct translation of the game, not a sequel or prequel.

Anybody think this is looking pretty good?  Speak Japanese and want to give us more details?
