The Spring Anime Season of 2023 is almost over! Summer is just around the corner, and you now have a lot of free time for a few months until it’s time to go back to school—or whatever other situation that is not of any concern until Autumn.

This anime is based on a video game of the same name from good old Sega for the Playstation 3, Valkyria Chronicles. Just like Fullmetal Alchemist, this series takes place at the turn of the century.

I recently finished watching an anime series called Classroom of the Elite. It was an anime series recommended last year on Twitter through the Free Anime Alliance.
