Valvrave the Liberator

[Beltane70]

The models have been on my list for awhile now. It's just a shame that they're 1/144 and not 1/100.

Hikaminari looks pretty funky:

[VF-15 Banshee]

Some heavy stuff goes down in this ep.

Colonel Cain seems to have the Valvrave mark!

And looks like we get the blue Valvrave next ep.

[VF-15 Banshee]

Confirmed pilots, perhaps? I can see the back of Haruto's head, Saki-chan and what looks like Yamada, the best friend guy and maybe one other?

[VF-15 Banshee]

ARGH! THE ROBOT IS TALKING TO ME!! "I'm hungry?" Robots are NOT supposed to say stuff like that!!! :shock:

Hmmm, I still don't know why Thunder deserves to be a Valvrave pilot, since he's still just a one-note Angry Guy.

Also, does anyone else get Doctor Insano vibes from the Physics teacher

since ALL residents of Module 77, except the students, were military personnel.

?

Nobody else in this series acts angry. Besides, he was awesome in combat, he might even become my favorite character after L-Elf.

Well Haruto was pretty pissed off when he climbed into the Valvrave the first time and his buddy was pissed when Aina-chan died and so forth.

[Noyhauser]

So... basically this is gundam updated with twitter, vampires and an teenager who can't bother to read the instructions... or the worst aspects of our pop culture.

Pass.

[DuelGundam2099]

It gets good at episode 6 onward, you just have to chug some fecal matter before then. Depending on how this anime will go and how over the top the fan reactions get, I might make an essay as to how this impacts the genre as a whole.

What?

Can't think I do something critical?

Think I'm retarded?

You're on.

*puts shades on*

Rough draft comes after this half is over.

[VF-15 Banshee]

Wow, this show just LOVES going in right angles. The kids gloves are officially off folks because--

(Read at your own peril)

Haruto rapes Saki. I mean that quite literally. Actually it's even creepier than that. Technically Valvrave Unit 01's AI hijacks Haruto's body and uses it to rape Saki

It's like the demented, horny version of Skynet.

[DuelGundam2099]

I wasn't going to come back but FOR FRICK SAKE (aimed for general reaction, not Banshee.... specifically)

You know what? I can't call it rape, or at least by the normal definition. Would skeptical be the proper word? The scene starts out with Haruto being violent (which everyone thought is what the spasms caused).... and APPARENTLY AN HOUR ELAPSED BECAUSE IT WENT FROM SUNDOWN TO PITCH BLACK BETWEEN EDITS. Nobody caught this? Really? Anyway, he pounces Saki and there is clothes being ripped. Once Saki realize he wasn't trying to killer her, rather he was horny (or is that VVV-tan?), she pretty much went (by dialogue and body language) "oh, now I get it!" and went with it. It isn't even like she couldn't fight back, she very well could have.

Why am I such a fuggin minority on EVERYTHING?

It's like the demented, horny version of Skynet.

that's what I've taken out of it so far. Freaky crap.

[VF-15 Banshee]

Man, this show just LOVES to torture Shoko.

[DuelGundam2099]

How is "Sobu" a manly name? And what happen with Akira? And why does the last scene remind me of both Atragon and the second Ideon movie?

LOL...

Step 2: Propose Marriage

1. I belive it was Nobu. Not sure what it translates to.

2. Given her reaction and the tone of the flashbacks, I'd say she either has agoraphobia or anthropophobia. Maybe both.

[DuelGundam2099]

Well that is one way to end half a series. I wanted to know why Akira acted the way she did and where VVV2 was and both my questions were answered satisfactorily. I look forward to the second half, but a three month wait is going to be brutal.
