It plays out like an anime with arcs around characters, fleshing out a good amount of character development, and moving towards finding out the dark secrets of the island and what that means for the main cast of characters the story revolves around. The story of Valkyrie Drive is actually pretty good. As they come into the island, they begin training towards being cured through intense battles with other Valkyries. Two sisters are sent to this island to be cured, having a special strain of the virus, known as the VR Virus. While the anime takes place on the island known as Mermaid, the game takes place on the island known as Bhikkhuni, an island with a high reputation of now only learning to control the virus, but a record of completely curing girls of it. In order to learn to keep themselves in check and society safe, these girls are sent to artificial islands until they can be trusted to keep themselves from harming others with these powers. The virus also grants them superhuman strength and powers when they initiate “Drive” with another victim of the virus, transforming one into a weapon, and they are dubbed “Valkyries”. There is a virus affecting women in their teens and 20s called the V-Virus, slowly spreading and eventually killing them. Valkyrie Drive’s game starts in a very similar manner of its anime. Here’s my official review of PS Vita exclusive, Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni. The only thing in my mind was imagining the anime as a game and thinking ‘How in the world was the ESRB okay with bringing this to the West?’. Knowing this, I was shocked to find out that the video game based on the series got the green light for a Western release. By the end of the anime, I started to really enjoy it.
When I watched the first half of the anime, I wasn’t sure what to think about the overly sexual focus, but once I got halfway through, story started to have the focus. The series is something I hate but something I love. Valkyrie Drive as a whole is about girls sexually assaulting one another to turn themselves on and transform into powerful weapons to be used in combat with other sexually-transformed girls. If you have seen the anime, Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid, you should know that half of the anime is about lesbian fondling, kissing, and all around over-exaggerated sexual activity. Valkyrie Drive is something that I have a love-hate relationship with. NA Availability: Retail | Digital DownloadĮU Availability: Retail | Digital Download
