I knew it!

it was impossible for them to miss this out.

[Tamad]

Wait, the beach episode is going to be animated on the first DVD already? I was actually expecting it to be a part of the main episodes, but hell... I can't wait for someone to sub all over that.

The battle will be interesting..consider it's actually going to be mutiplayer? wonder how they are going to do that?

Beach Episode and Homer/Edy video sounds interesting though..that's a lot of stuff to be included actually.

Valkyria never had multiplayer aspect coded in. But from the following lines lifted from the Blog :-

"同じマップをチームごとに攻略して結果を競うんですのよ！"

So it will the Seiyuus will be given a map with a preset team to see how they progress with the game and just who will be awarded with a better ranking.

EDIT :-

Not only Edy, but even Selveria. No surprise really, but yes that is quite the good decision.

There's some news on the VC DVD.

[Runty]

A couple of videos for the DVD were released on the anime website. They also had a slight preview clip of the "Beach" special that will come with the DVD.

Spoiler for Beach Volleyball:

Looks like Edy got owned by Rosie at Volleyball. Poor Edy...

[MakubeX2]

Spotted at Wonderfest '09. Hopefully this will be much more cheaper than the one that's currently in production.

They've gotta add the rivalry in somewhere.

I might have a blank here, but who is he/she of all shocktroopers?

Jane Turner, the psycho sadist flower shop owner. Sadly not featured in the anime. Actually considering what they did to some characters maybe not so "sadly." They probably wouldn't have screwed her up though, they seem to have done a good job with some of the other "extreme" personalities like Edy and Jann.

[don_Durandal]

Yep that's Jane Turner alright. My favourite recruitable character.

She falls in the badas warrior category like Vyss though, so I'm kinda relieved she didn't appear in the anime. Only the cutesy and moe characters got good treatment.

But doing a good job with Jane means that she'd have to be killing enemy soldiers each episode.

Oh right, I forgot that doesn't actually happen at all. They could have kept her personality in general though, but she'd probably just be turned into a parody of herself. Though I'm not entirely sure the game intended for her to be a totally serious character to begin with, especially with the flower shop background, heh.

I like that it needs a little stand for the lance, lol. Otherwise it's pretty sweet lookin'.

[Runty]

I think someone may have put the beach scene on Youtube. Too bad I can't post links (I think)...

The guy kinda screwed up with the sound, so it doesn't flow with the animations.

I dunno. You gotta watch them florists, you know. They go batshit if you touch the flowers

[Runty]

I've read through the rules, and if this is not allowed I'm not aware of it.

Here's a link to a video of the beach episode. This one has proper sound synching.

Spoiler for Beach Episode:

Enjoy it.

A question for anyone getting the first DVD, can you scan any of the images from the book?
