Recommendation: Inconsistent romantic comedy that is at its weakest when dealing with the romance elements, but can be quite funny when it's going pure comedy. Not terrible, but skippable. Review covers all 3 seasons plus OVAs.
Positives:
+ Full of the kind of insanity that you can only get from anime. Where else can you see a tank armed with a laser that turns things into catgirls? Or a magical bath that turns adult women into lolis? The series is full of the most ridiculous things you can imagine and a lot of the comedy is built around this unrestrained wackiness.
+ Most of the characters are fun. Laine was my personal favorite, but most get their time to shine at one point or another. I was also fond of the trio of little mascot characters (Shirou, Marduke and I forget the other one'…

UFO Princess Valkyrie is an anime that exists. Unsurprisingly, it's an adaption of a manga (never heard that one before...). It feels weird saying this "means something to me" since I heavily dislike this show. I would only say that because this (and its sequels) was the first anime I ever watched, beyond random episodes of DBZ, Naruto, and so on that were on Toonami and similar. I got a friend to watch it with me earlier this year, and he wanted to quit almost at the end. I don't blame him. This show is awkward. That, which for me was a rewatch, was interesting because I realize how little I actually remembered of this show, and how much I probably blocked out of memory. Let's start with the positives.
The music isn't too bad. The opening is fine, though not a favorite. The ending is fin…

"To the bath house and beyond" or maybe that's what they should have called this psycho circus called Ufo Ultramaiden Valkyrie..And if you're not impressed by the title alone let me give you some more useful details that will arouse your...Mind.
What? Did you think i was gonna say your pants? What anime do you think this is anyway? This is a serious love story about a little 8 yr old girl and a child molester, who found one another under the worst circumstances possible.
You see our little Valkyrie crashed her spaceship right on Kazuto's(the child molester)bath house, killing him in the process. And if this was one of those ridiculous ecchi anime Kazuto would somehow be brought back to life and that's fucking exactly what happens when-the adult then-Valkyrie decided to give him half her…

This anime has a great soundtrack. I have bought every album I could find. I would have bought this anime purely to enjoy the flow of the musical track. The music is not only great by itself, but it is utilized to full effect, imparting whichever atmosphere is called for. Though the story does falter from time to time, the music is solid throughout the show. I truly feel this is a pretty good anime, but without the quality of its music, it would not be worth watching. For instance as princess Valkyrie decides to fly off into space in her UFO the music cut in is moving. Of coarse some of the battle scenes make use of "The Flight of the Valkyries", and other variations on that music by Wagner. I highly recommend this anime, and I recommend the soundtrack even more highly.

It’s been a long time since humanity unlocked the barrier between t and the infinite cosmos, truly becoming a member of the interstellar community... Hell, you know it’s been a long time when aliens have even become commonplace in a racially exclusive country like Japan... And they’ve become such a normal part of our everyday lives that nobody questions the slug monster sitting in the seat in the back by the window, just waiting to star in his own anime. But this story isn’t about that slug, it’s about the far more human looking aliens from the planet Valhalla. There are eight princesses on Valhalla, each more beautiful than the last... But none of them are more fair, or more elegant, than the blonde bombshell Valkyrie. And thus, none of them are more suitable for political marriage.

Oh god, this show is for real, isn’t it? Welp, this is going to be an interesting review. It’s about an alien girl that crashed into a house, almost killed the person, then gave the person half their soul to save him. She also crashed right in the middle of the bathhouse, separating the men’s and the women’s side. You would think that with that much accuracy, she could of landed fine instead of crashing.
What is with aliens not knowing how to land and crashing into buildings? Seriously, does no one know how to land a spaceship? It happens almost all the time during the show which makes me wonder if any alien should really be flying at all. If the real world was like this one, then I am scared when we actually end up meeting beings from other worlds.
Can someone explain to me if this is a…

This story has a pretty cliche' storyline. Guy meets girl, then other girls suddenly appear in droves. Seen it before, right? Well UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie has a few twists that set it apart form other romantic comedies. First, because the main female protagonist has shared her soul with the male lead, she has regressed mentally and physically to the level of a six year old, which presents a whole new challange when it comes to romance. Secondly, the story is dramatic and serious when it needs to be, so the series has just enough drama in it to make it believeable.
The artwork is very clean and bright, which compliments the atmosphere nicely. And be careful all you delicate types out there; all but three or four episodes in the entire franchise (around fifty episodes) shows certain female…
