Where to Watch UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie in the UK

Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 6/10 rating means the audience agrees.

Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie from the crowd. UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, aka UFO Princess Valkyrie, is an anime series that follows the story of Kazuto Tokino and the alien Princess, Valkyrie, who gives half her soul to Kazuto to save him after accidentally crashing her spaceship into Kazuto's family owned public bathhouse and nearly killing him. The splitting up of her soul turned her into a child, but whenever she kisses Kazuto, Valkyrie returns to her adult form for a limited time, and regains the use of her special powers. Chinami Nishimura and Saeko Chiba lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 4 seasons (2002–2006), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
