About Warlords of Sigrdrifa
Warlords of Sigrdrifa is an original by Studio A1 Pictures featuring maidens of war who battle a threat called the Pillar.
The story revolves around battle maidens Valkyries, who use planes called “HeroCraft” as their wings.
They were bequeathed to humanity by Odin as a counter-attack against The Pillars, who had suddenly appeared above Earth, threatening humanity.
The story takes place several years after The Pillars’ appearance where the battle between humanity and Pillars rages on, with men supporting the Valkyries as they fight against them in the skies of Japan.
Three Valkyries fight against a giant Pillar looming over sacred Mt. Fuji only to find an ace Pilot for Europe joins their squad.
