Walkure Romanze English Sub & Dub

About Walkure Romanze

Here is what Walkure Romanze is about, retold in plain terms: an action, school and romance anime by 8bit (2013). In short: Taking place at Winford Academy located in an old town called Helen's Hill, the story is all about knights and the sport of jousting. At this school, learners learn how to become knights, ride horses and joust properly.

As things develop, the main character is a young man named Takahiro Mizuno who was training to become a knight and jouster but after suffering an injury he dropped out of the knight program and joined the begleiter (assistant) program instead. Due to his animal handling skills and former experience as a jouster, this makes him a hot commodity. Multiple beautiful girls in the school want him to become their personal begleiter, though Takahiro always refuses their offers.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by 8bit, so the studio's house style defines how Walkure Romanze looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. It aired in 2013, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
