As a huge mecha fan, I really enjoyed this series. There may have been some cliche mecha anime moments (cue deserted island episode), but I can honestly say this has been one of the best since Gundam 00 (my favourite mecha of all time). Perfect amount of action, "mellowness" (for lack of a better term), even some hints of romance and such. Can't wait for season 2 and see Bizon get his ass whooped again.

I enjoy this one, it's much better than a lot of people give it credit for. It's not great but it's good enough that I'm a bit surprised it's not garnering more fanfare, negative or positive. Hoping the 2nd season will continue the solid development it had in S1, it did a nice job really carving out the story and characters, albeit with some issues. I'm hoping it doesn't abandon it in typical Sunrise fashion in favor of mediocre shock value and Micheal Bay-esque finishes.

Still on episode five. I suppose this is good news since I've enjoyed what I have watched so far.

I'm going to watch just because I"m in too deep to drop the series now XD! I'm "halfway" through anyway so I guess I'll see it through the end.

YESSSS

I hope that they would air this on June or July, I can't wait another year for it. Also, looks like romance is one of the genres for this season! Looks like we'll see some Hina x Aoba scenes, along with Hina x Aoba x Dio scenes as well! :D

Poor mayuka-chan though, looks like she'll be a third wheel.

Seems like this is what Sunrise is doing now.

Releasing their 2 cour series in separate seasons and refering to them as two series.'

TL:DR it isnt a second season. They would have released this anyway.

its an ok series i dont feel too strongly for one way or another, but its good news to see its getting more as the story simply cant work in a short 1 cour season especially at the pace its going, im hoping the 2nd half packs more of a punch than the first as i do like some of the directions its been taking recently

ma25 said:

Really this anime is a lot better than all the crap we had in the winter season 2014.
id respectfully disagree, this was one of the worst shows i watched out of the 12 winter anime i watched only being really beaten by the travesty that is nobunaga the fool. The show relies too much on the conventional and has some gaps in logic, the dialogue especially near the beginning is downright bad and consisted almost entirely of exposition which in and of itself made the characters feel more like plot points than actual characters, its portrayal of the main character's side being care free and easy going kidders and the villains being evil nazi like monsters who dont have human empathy make the show feel extremely surreal in the bad way like they didnt know how to portray a realistic antagonistic force which only became worse when i watched a older sunrise show(the origianl gundam) which went out of its way to portray both sides as humans with goals ambitions and morality. These flaws arent as major as they sound as i did say up above it just lands dead on the average mark but its far from even making it remotely high up on the winter list.

Theres a ton of room for improvement and im hoping season 2 does that. but if were speaking strictly this season, a majority of the "hate" directed at it has been pretty spot on.


Yeah... I thought the portrayal of the villains as "DEATH TO ENEMIES OF OUR EMPIRE" seemed a bit too much.

I'm kind of upset with this news, 2 episodes? serious?? like wow, this is one of the anime i have been waiting for to come out. How are they going to finish this in 2 episode its going to look so rushed. I guess the blu-ray sales had a impact budget.

This was totally meant to be a 2 cour series but probably because of just how awful it did with the BD's they cut it down to this. Of course im pulling that out of my ass but still if thats the case this will be a huge trainwreck.

I'm pretty sure you are right.

Valvrave sold more than BC and got 12 additional episodes intead of 2 special ones.

There is the same kind of situation where a series gets movie instead of a 2nd season of 12 or more. 90 min being the common duration of movie, it costs far less than 12-24 x 20 min.

Two episodes only? Seems like this is an 18-wheeler headed straight off the cliff, or a train about to be derailed. Call it what you will, hopefully it isn't rushed, but how much can you do it 2 episodes, right? :(

Okay, common. That show getting a sequel is already a small surprise, even with that cliffhanger ending. But if it does get a sequel, at least make it longer.

And Valvrave still got screwed... it's sooo obvious Valvrave's team was expecting a 3rd season, but man did they get the rug pulled out from under them...
