I’ve been watching UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie 3 (ADV release). This show gets a lot of flack for being pretty much the same thing as the other installments with little real substance added. There is a point to be made here. That’s three incarnations of this show and there just isn’t anything new.

This actually comes down to a simple issue of viewer awareness, as in the viewers not being aware that the show isn’t supposed to have substance. It is supposed to be a comedy. The only thing that actually passes for a plot is the relationship between Valkyrie and Kazuto. Let’s face it, that is the least interesting part of this show.

Things more interesting than Valkyrie + Kazuto:

1. Valkyrie’s Hat - That hat is freak’n cool
2. Hydra - because Hydra is freak’n awesome
3. This blog post
4. Spottenheim
5. The image print on the front of the DVD.
6. The back of the DVD.

I can’t say it really bothers me. I like the show. Although, Valkyrie irritates me a bit. If they were trying to make her character seem annoying then they did a really good job.

I’m voting Sanada as best catgirl maid ever. Until I finish the third installment of Valkyrie at which point I will probably forget all about her, but for the time being the title holds.

I was trying to think of a really good poetic line to start this post. The only thing I could come up with was, “The world is an oyster.” I find this strange because the closest thing to an oyster I’ve ever eaten was clam chowder. It was none too pleasing either. I’m not much of a seafood person to tell you the truth.

Except for fish sticks. I love me some fish sticks.
