Martial anime Valkyria Chronicles appears to be pursuing a policy of oppai enlargement in its character design, with several characters receiving augmentation, not least of all Alicia, above.
Whether this is a good liberty to take or not is a matter of personal preference, but most will agree that the actual anime screens coming to light so far (below) seem to hint at Asread-like levels of quality:


You can see more of the game as compared to the anime in the previous article.
Via Chirashi no Ura.
mikuru asahina had one of these too!
in the manga version she doesnt have that much but when the anime version came...woo boy thank god!
Actually, that would be breast deflation as the manga came after the anime.
Her chest doesn't look that much bigger to me, it's just more visible.
Yeah, it looks like it's just a lower angle on her.
Those preview shots seem to suggest that the pencil-sketch effect will be applied to the anime (as it was for the game), which is kinda cool.
A pity they didn't use the already wonderful-looking game's rendering engine, with some post-production effects if needed.
doesnt look any bigger than the game. you have one image straight on while another is angled. straight on will obviously look smaller with the lack of definition in the animation style.
Anyone saw that those mature soldiers on the side of Alica are now pathetic children? LOL.
awww the Bruhl town watch is just too kawaii
>kawaii
You better be fucking trolling.
Or this site is slowly being infected with cancerous shit, as it's becoming more popular.
Awewwe the widdle-anonymous otaku hates the word "Kawaii"...how Kawaii is that!- lol.
I kid, I kid, I just love watching people get pissed off by use of the word "Kawaii"- lol. He does have a good point in that we need to take proper steps to prevent "Cancerous Shit" from the more 'feelings oriented' or 'Politically Correct' type of forum poster.
What I like about this board is that it has Excellent Anime/Otaku related stories with just the right level of snark, Non-PC bite, and lurid perversion! It's not easy for Artefact to maintain this balence or perfection in polite perversity- so we all need to contribute to the 'quality control' of this site.
yeah, i noticed it too... knowing asread i think they felt lazy and just recycled some designs from one of their works...
woo-hoo! child soldiers ftw! lawl...i always thought it was weird how alicia was the only non-sausage townwatcher, also seemed to be the youngest...
and they're not soldiers/militia/army yet.
Well there's also that one guy in the town watch who likes Alicia and looks like a girl. Forgot his name because I hate him.
never is enough oppai
you speak the truth
What's wrong with you?
Disgusting lumps of fat.
No, the question should be 'What's wrong with YOU?'
Well it could be disgusting lumps of fat for some cases.. but for this case its awright
How do you make two pounds of fat look appealing?
Put nipples on 'em.
That's a plus in my pants I mean book.
DOHOHOHOHOHOHO
GOOD ONE.
They look larger in the second image but overall it's not too bad.
I wonder how much time will pass before the animation quality starts to drop to ground levels....
I won't knock the anime until I try it, but man, oh man, do I want to knock those redesigns.
Asread quality animation?
Check the eyes for starters.
Asread annoys me just for the reason that they make enhancements to characters when in reality I'd much rather prefer the actual characters not some adapted characters. I'm not necessarily talking about the oppai mind you. To me they do look slightly larger but I never really paid attention to such detail when playing the game so I could be wrong. I don't mind too much although I don't exactly like humongous breasted anime women, I also do not care for flat as a board. I don't notice a difference so I'm fine. In my mind what they've done to the soldiers is horrible. Changing them into kids? The Outrage!
I personally can't stand kids!! now soldiers as kids?....gay.
you do realize that a large portion of the playable characters are underage right? I think it was a good call, the game made it seem as if only the 7th platoon had diverse demographics...
look on the bright side, if they stay true to the game, one of em gets SMG sniped :P
Well, the 7th squad is in the militia, not the regular army. You don't run into too many other militia types over the course of the campaign.
Is it bad that I was expecting "breast inflation" as in "breasts being inflated"? :{
I'd be more concerned over the fact that the pocket on her left breast is no longer there! :(
Inconvenient no?
We certainly want our hands in that!
With the enhancements, there probably isn't enough space to put anything there anymore. What with balance concerns and all that...
Might be good to note that the Valkyria Chronicles anime is not being animated by asread, but by Sony's A1 Pictures.
Argh, I was somewhat looking forward to this, too..
well, at least we can still look forward to the DLC. Hopefully they'll make major changes, and/or it looks better in motion
Very not happy about this. Her personalty is not suited for large breasts.
Looks good to me.
Her soliders on her sides also were moe-ified
ahaha I can see that. Anyway... it does look better now.
Actually manga does't need large oppai, because it won't benefit from oppai physics.
But it might benefit from increased sales.
An extra issue sold, is still an extra issue sold.
They don't really look bigger to me in that comparison. The anime screen just show a different viewpoint. The actual breasts don't really look any bigger.
don't mind bigger, she still good. anime quality looks questionable right now but we'll see.
i. . want to play the game 1st. . . .( T^T)
( don't have PS3 system on my place )
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO ALICIA!?
Well volume wise, I dont think its any bigger. The CG version is just wider. The anime version looks much more perkier. I like it better that way.
think that might have to do with weird angle of the screenshot(game) looks much different from other angles
Hmm I had a chance to buy the game of this or Disgaea 3. I chose Disgaea 3, well mayeb I can stull enjoy it.
Damn, you made a big mistake there. While Disgaea 3 is certainly a great game, Valkyria Chronicles is so good, that it's one of those games that only comes along once or twice per generation of systems. It was easily my favorite game on any console last year. Even beating out Smash Bros Brawl (and believe me, I am a HUGE Brawl fan).
Well...Disgaea 3 from what I hear doesn't really do SRPG very different from it's predecessors, only minor differences and story is all that's different. If you didn't play either of the previous 2 titles then not too big of a deal, but...in the very least VC is extremely unique.
I haven't played it, probably won't play it because I don't think I'll ever own a PS3, but I shall take Artefact's word on it that it's an exceptional game. It's great to hear such praise of a game in such an age of shovelware...though that's always the case.
