When Imperial forces attack the small border town of Bruhl, Welkin Gunther, son of late General Belgen Gunther, is forced to fight for his life alongside Town Watch captain Alicia Melchiott. Along with Welkin's adopted sister Isara, the three escape to Gallia's capitol and subsequently join the country's militia forces. As members of the newly-formed Squad 7, they must work to repel the invading Imperial forces and discover the true purpose of the invasion itself.

If world war two had more mini skirts involved, and enough anime archetypes to fill a high school then you would have Valkyria Chronicles.
Valkyria Chronicles follows the "war is bad" theme, without beating you over the head with it. There are the archetype characters that we have all seen before in each each of the squad members, and most of them arent given enough time to for the audience to become attached to. The plot follows Welkin Gunther as he leads squad seven, in the effort to push the invading Imperial forces out their country. The plot itself follows the game plot pretty closely, but changes some parts to shake things up.
If you played the game, you know whats going to happen. But there are enough new things here to keep you interested.
