Tochiro Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) So we finally have a teaser trailer of sorts. http://www.animenews...-promo-streamed Ship designs are nicely detailed, although I still say the head looks like a cross between Tiger & Bunny and Aquarion ... Edited June 6, 2013 by azrael Quote
the white drew carey Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Hmmm... You are definitely right about the head design. I do like the ship designs, though. They are unique and interesting. Animation looks good, too. The synopsis though seems very Gundamy. Almost like it could be an AU story that takes its cues from UC. Quote
mechaninac Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Gundam-y, indeed: Space colonies, conflict between two powerful factions with a third, neutral nation caught in yhe middle, HS student stumbles upon military mecha to become its prodigy pilot... just how derivative can you get? Quote

DuelGundam2099 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 And I thought this was going to be a real robot series. The humans look bland but at least the titular mecha doesn't. I was planning on seeing this, although the promotional material does not make it seem so exciting. I will say this much, I hope it don't suck walnuts. Quote
Tochiro Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Some related pics I took at Tokyo Anime Fair yesterday. Quote
Lobizon Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Crunchyroll to Stream Valvrave the Liberator TV Anime Series Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Just saw the first episode. Nice grunts and very cool to finally see a mecha wielding a kama, everything else was sort of boring though. Quote
Vepariga Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Yeah first episode was ok, characters are average so far but its just the first ep so its nothing to brag about yet. Mechs look decent enough. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 It did impress me more than its previews let on but I have to wonder just how much high school antics there are going to be.As for Shoko... personally I think that she's alive. I mean she's still in the end credits in Newtype Naked Space™ with the black-haired girl (the one who told Haruto to accept that Shoko was dead) so why would they bother with that if she weren't still alive? Either she's going to show up at the very end of the series to give moral support to Haruto (lame!) or she's going to be brainwashed by these Dorssia guys and she'll have to tragically fight Haruto. We'll see.Also, congratulations to Jior for winning Biggest Morons Ever, by placing their giant robot factory UNDER A FRAKING HIGH SCHOOL. HOLYFRAKZOMBIE!!!And... what was up with that random lesbian boob fondle? Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) what was up with that random lesbian boob fondle? Is it not obvious? They snuck onto the mecha talk forums, saw how Strike Zero, Destiny Gundam, and Kuruni loved calling girls cute every other topic, and animated that fan service bit just for them! Also trying to annoy me by saying "lol call our girls cute, DG!" to which I reply "No, plushies are cute, those half-monkeys are things I'd use for target practice on a gun range!" Then Ryujin throws an insult, ShadowCell face palms, and the ending credits roll as the next episode preview foreshadows things. Or someone on staff is trying really hard to gain the attention of people attracted to middle schoolers....... Or maybe pedos, I don't know what age they are or the exact intention and as long as there is very little of it I don't care. Edited April 14, 2013 by DuelGundam2099 Quote

I don't really care what Strike Zero, Destiny_Gundam, or Kuruni have as preferences so how's about we just not talk about it here on MacrossWorld, eh? Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I made that part as a joke, but since you insist Banshee (even if I have nowhere else to make it). Seriously though, I don't see why someone would call the non-Y chromosome humans in this series cute; I'm somewhat tempted to make a macro of Rapeman going "0/10, would not fap". Come to think of it, everything outside mech designs seems ultra-generic and to an extent seems Unicorn Gundam-ish. Edited April 15, 2013 by DuelGundam2099 Quote

Come to think of it, everything outside mech designs seems ultra-generic and to an extent seems Unicorn Gundam-ish. I can see not liking a loli like Marie Nobi, but there's plenty of other girls like Shoko or Saki or Akira or Rion in the show. I'm digging that one-eyed captain's adjutant, I think her name is Kreimhild? So I'm thinking about a couple of things relating to the next episode. I think in the preview it said something about Valvrave revealing the truth of the world? At this point I got no idea what that's all about. This ship captain, Cain. Since he has a buxom lady adjutant that gives off a coolly professional demeanor... is he a Treize? If Saki indeed gets involved with Haruto somehow, I'm thinking that maybe in this next episode, since she's a singing idol, maybe she helps to deal with his newfound fame? Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 there's plenty of other girls like Shoko or Saki or Akira or Rion in the show. They look rather plain and boring. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Dammit Sunrise, perfectly good plot wasted, although now that I think about it, probably a little cliche. Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I genuinely did not give a frack about her so.... Meh. As for the episode itself I'll see it a bit later. Quote
Sandman Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Just watched the frst two episodes. This reminds of Gundam so bad, seed in particular. You could basically replace the robot with a gundam and change a few names and it would be a gundam show. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I get the feeling that DuelGundam2099 is going to hate this episode. Why is the guy who smokes always the laidback dude? ARGH!! THE ROBOT IS TALKING!!! Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Did you NOT read my titanic rant on Anime Suki or the "what are you watching" topic? Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35152&page=39 http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=116752&page=97 I'd also rather not have words put in my mouth, wait until I actually watch it, THEN make snarky comments! (please) Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I've never seen this show but I can tell from your reaction that it's probably pretty good. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 OK, just watched the episode and... yeah, I could see it being a deal breaker for people. But hey, at least next episode we get a new Zord! I mean, Valvrave. Hmm, the episode is called "Saki, Come Back" and we get the debut of the green Valvrave, which only Haruto, Saki and L-Elf know about... Hmmmmm. Quote
Beltane70 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 While it certainly isn't my favorite episode of the series so far, it also isn't a deal breaker! Hell, I've seen worse episodes in shows that I like even more than this! Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Next Monday join my good buddy SoulBroRyu as he streams the first 4 eps live with interactive commentary! Might also be doing Mac Plus for OVA night sometime soon! Come on over and see what he's got! http://new.livestream.com/accounts/3310250 Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Um, just ignore my previous post, that was for Gargantia, not Valvrave. Anywho.....Bruce Wayne has found a new Batgirl, her name is Saki Rukino. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Hello Sunrise? I'm from Big West/Studio Nue and I'm here to deliver anorder of pineapple salad to the Valvrave production team for today'sepisode. Seems some character activated 100 death flags all at once... Quote
DuelGundam2099 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) L-Elf confirmed for best character of the big three mecha this season. Next episode we get Valvrave 3! Edit: Wow, /m/, this is pretty good detective work: I wonder how true this actually is. Edited May 24, 2013 by DuelGundam2099 Quote
electric indigo Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I don't really care for the animation, but the plastic kit (and the upcoming releases) is quite cool: Quote
