| love everything in first ep accept that fact that our main character is a pusssy 5/5 |
| Not bad. I'm intrigued. Also, I'm getting distracted by the voice actors. WTF is up with that ending? Did he just become a vampire? Huh?????????? |
| To be honest I was pretty pissed after watching this, because this was basically episode 1 of Gundam Seed, with a few minor differences, then I looked at the studio that made this and saw Sunrise, and then I wasn't so pissed, but I'm a diehard fan of the Gundam series, Seed especially. This was definitely not as amazing, but I really hope this is not another Gundam Seed, Sunrise is rather unique in it's mecha animes, it just threw me for a loop when I felt like I was watching Gundam Seed 3.0, considering the first episode of Seed Destiny was the same basic formula too.... Other than that it seems interesting enough...it's got I guess a vampire-ish twist to it, so it's not all that average...I hope :) |

| Interesting start, not as bad as I had imagined with all of the negative things I've heard about this, although I couldn't help but laugh at some parts when I think of some of the things people have said about this. Definitely reminds me of Gundam Seed, the action was pretty cool. The tragic cock block death and boy meets robot was pretty cliche and I can't really say this episode made me feel anything other than "well that sucks for him." Was also kinda strange that he lands surrounded by classmates and then bam he's alone with the murderer. That ending took me by surprise though, man oh man. |
 |
| Very interesting. The ending takes it to a whole new level of wtf. I thought the episode was ok but that ending saved it. Im looking forward to what happens next |
 |
| felt a bit rush on MC's revenge feeling towards dead oneitis but fighting scene was epic |
 |
| Wow. That was good. This gonna be one of those shows that has every character vulnerable to death. Anyone can die. Shoko! No! Dead already?! Dam. It! "Do you resign being human?" Wow. I guess the MC isn't human anymore. That explains why he didn't die when he was STABBED in the heart and then immediately shot 2 or 3 times in the chest. Liking the show so far. |
| Feel like I'm watching Galaga lol. Yep, Akira makes her debut already. Poor Shoko, really wanted to see more of her. The ending after the credits was surprising. |
 |
| The Shoko girl was so annoying in the beginning with the cellphone scene and the MC is so lame, suddenly jumping into the mecha trying to pilot something that he has never used before and getting irritated when the thing won't move. And what kind of conclusion was that? suddenly he becomes the savior and everybody is in awe and thanking him. Soooo cheesy, I can't help but roll my eyes @ it. |
| A bloody anime with a wimpy MC. I hope the death of his crush wakes him up and he starts to man up and start fighting for real. He seemed like he's possessed or something when he bit that dude in the end which is no good. Be badass on your own. |
 |
| Slightly rushed and a bit cheesy at times, but the animation is good, the robots in this have likeable designs and the action is decent. Good find. |

| I really like the Social media in politics this uses, note that this show began in 2011 when the Arab spring started. Akira is going to be my favorite character. |

| Vampires. I've heard about this many times before starting this, but for some reason, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. If anything, the part with the friend requests caught me by surprise. Wow, really? |

| Wait.. what Shoko just died like that ? I was expecting more depression but he was rather quick on wanting to get revenge lol. A sudden stab and brutal bite is a good way to end the first episode. The fight was quite nice too. |
| MC is a zombie vampire piloting a robot who get his own twitch tv stream I guess I am being jelous |
| Meaningless character slaughter in the first episode?? We only saw Shoko for 10 minutes and you expect us to care? The Valvrave (OP mecha robot) is extremely conveniently nearby MC at the time he desires revenge for his highschool crush (not even girlfriend yet) who just died. Not only that, but how the fuck does a completely random, irrelevant highschool student hijack a mecha? Why the fuck was there no one around to stop him? The Valvrave is supposedly a pretty important weapon, so why the fuck was it left completely insecure and unguarded for literally anyone to jump in? Why the fuck did it take the MC so long to figure out he had to press "yes" for the mecha to work? +Untrained person is magically able to pilot a mecha cliche. End scene: what the fuck. MC was stabbed through and shot on both sides of the chest. Then stands up and bites the guy. What the fuck. If this is a space/mecha/vampire crossover, Im down for it. But I expect a lot of explanation in episode2. And I already have very low expectations for this series. |
~my list
| I needed some mecha action and found a...vampire show. Don't know how good this will be. Must investigate. |

| From "hmm" to "mmm" to "ehhhh" to "huuhhh?" to "wtf???!!" |
| Great start, i haven't watched any mechs since Gundam Unicorn. The MC is fucking wimp, are you fucking serious Love the animation and the CG mech scenes are not bad at all. Watching it in BD is even godly!! I'm just here for the mech battles. I can already tell the story will be confusing as hell with vampiric like powers controlling mechs etc. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| Going into this anime, I was kinda hoping Shouko (who I assumed would've been the MC's initial love interest) would die in order to spark some sort of drive into the MC. Things went as planned, but I was not expecting that ending tho lol. That blood tho.. I felt like my own heart got stabbed.. yeezus. |

 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| ugh. i hated that the valvrave stabbed his neck, i'm still thinking about it and it's giving me the crawlies. okay so i'm assuming there was a part after the ending song? because everyone is talking about how he becomes a vampire but uh... i didn't get that. mc is pretty cute, glad that shoko died.. i feel that she's coming back for sure though. the best part was the fighting animation, that was a real hoot. edit: just went back to watch that part. for a mecha anime to have vampires is so strange, right up my alley though. anything with vampires unfortunately tickles my feather so i'm all aboard with this |

| Well, decided to rewatch this after completing the Code Geass movies and Buddy Complex (or Buddy not-so-Complex lol). This had so many twists and turns, I only remember the beginning. 17:16 Merlion, Singapore |

| Establishing the setting, characters or any other context behind anything that's happening was apparently deemed unnecessary here. At least it has a thousand shock value scenes a minute, an obligatory spineless pussy of a main character, a similarly mandatory angsty dickhead rival, and the designated tomboy love interest to drive our brave protagonist forward. Ticking off every checkbox in the "wannabe mature mecha" list. I refuse to watch another episode of this abortion of a series. |
