Damn, I like this OP song.

Mm, a lot of nice action this episode imo with the body count going up. The battle was okay I guess in space. Oh snap:


Also, I think Shoko is alive. Lol, well..I'm not sure if I should be surprised by that or not. So many things going on at once this episode ;o

o.O new way of power up for mecha, take own blade and stab self for special sword move when the overheat number hit 666. so his power is take over ppl's body when he bite their neck. valvrave will have 4 more form which will be yellow,green,blue and purple.
i wonder why opening didn't show l-elf's mecha but got show the other 4 guy's mecha that are with him. will be looking forward to what l-elf's mecha going to be and it's like he know how valvrave was desgin during the part he was explaining to haruto about the overheating thing

o.o o.O O.o O.O also hater going to hate shoko for being alive

This show is too Sunrise...what are they doing.

A mobile suit with inexplicably strong specs
A main with self-loathing tendencies
A main with a God-amazing talent to pilot a mobile suit
An archrival who does nothing other than scream the name of the guy he hates
Characters who never die
...and it can still go on.

The thing that puzzles me still is how Valvrave works and how they're feeding us all these incredible things it's capable of. So after it over-heats it gets to use an overdrive move?...And how does Haruto even know to stab into Valvrave?

What's really frustrating is that they could've just called this Gundam ___ and it would've almost fit right in. Just great. And the ED quality is far off the OP quality.

and speaking about pairing i personally don't prefer to pair Haruto with Saki or Shoko
instead with the Blonde girl on Valvrave

Haven't watched the episode yet but this thread gave me a good laugh. Nice to see she is alive, even though quite obvious.

I guess I'm the only one who liked her (compared to every other character so far).

So that vampire act is to move the life to another person? Too bad that those well-known casts are enemies... His loved one is alive. It's obvious that sempai is in love with him, and he didn't confess in the end.

Harakiri mode??

ED is weird.

I'm dubbing this "Point Break: The Anime"

L-ELF!!!!!!!!!!!!*Yell to the Sky*

Anyone who tries to take this anime seriously and pick apart its dialogue or plot is going to hate it. Just go with the flow and you should be able to reasonably enjoy it. So Haruto can transfer bodies with L-Elf if he goes Twilight on his ass? Some nice visual porn at least. Shoko's red herring was obvious

*Watches the confession* Great.... Another brooding protagonist to add to the multiple the season already has. Sack up is my policy to MC's of his type

i'm pretty Sure everyone knew shouko was going to be back, but the "i'm now a monster i can't be with her" attitude is going to make any romantic relationship with her probally go really slow. and i am disappointed she came out of that car basiclly unscathed, they could have atleast put a few bruises and what not on her to atleast make it look like she was AT-LEAST a bit in danger. that aside not a bad episode hope no more Cheesy plot "Twists" happen anytime soon.

Really nice episode, yeah I can't say I like Haruto but I like where the anime seems to be going. Let's see :-) And L11 seems to be a main character, I guess he sticks around as a POW and has to learn to live with that? Does he still have nanobots left over? Might be interesting to see.

The Sayajin Mecha was a bit silly, though.

The only saving grace was that he had no problems with killing other people..unlike certain other mecha pilots.. like Kira and Kio.

At least he got his priorities straight.

If they let shoko life. Why wouldnt he confess already and get it done with. Because i forsee a very very long romance action with: I am a monster noooooooo she cant love a monster noooooooooooo.

that kind of romance is the most annoying romance. I hope they will spicy it up a little with that Rukino girl. Because she is much better.

We will keep looking how it turns out.

Okay, finally got to see this episode and this one is definitely a keeper!



We can see there is definite good and bad side in this show. (Well maybe not good as we have yet to truly meet the ARUS.) But what with the unconditional surrender and annexation of a weaker neutral country, Dorssians ARE Space Nazis.

Haruto actually was an excellent MC for most of this episode. I loved the way he killed without regret and actually acted with some intelligence.



I find Saki annoying (she is beginning to remind me of Flay, and that's NEVER a good thing) and I hope that she and Shoko aren't going to just be the bumbling love interests, simply there to give emotional support.

It looks like Dorssia can't keep a country once they take it as the ARUS came out of nowhere and took JIOR back in one afternoon. Pretty much just as fast as it took for the Germans to take it, actually. And Dorssia is right, the JIOR military really does need to step up its game if THIS is how easy it is to take your country.

In this whole episode, I feel the most sorry for L-elf. Poor L-11! To have his body used against his will, and then to be framed for betraying his comrades and country. And it actually looked to be a connection between him and A-drei as A-3 seemed to not want to kill him and just wanted an explanation as to why. Now poor L-11 is alone unless he can clear his name.

My new theory about the other 4 Valvraves. There will be 4 other people including L-11 that Haruto can "switch" with. With each one, he pilots a new Valvrave.

Also, I think some people on the crew for this show are trekkies. Come on, the "resistance is futile" line, the mechs that sort-of resemble starships and can go warp speed? You're not even trying to hide it...

I am really excited for this series and it really reminds me of Gundam crossed with Code Geass. I can now see why Valvrave is called "The Liberator" as the Dorssians seem to want to take over anything in their way and enslave the populace. The MC can give you mood whiplash, but I still really like this series despite that. This was a 9.5/10 for me.

And keep the twists coming!

The way Shoko managed to survive was stupid.
The way that elf dude just got caught off-panel after taking the girl hostage in the mecha made little sense.
Heck, the MC not killing elf dude straight away after getting his body back was lol what.

But, you know what, I don't care because it's entertaining as hell.

Wow, didn't expect Shoko to be alive :/
Honestly, I think it'd be better if she stayed dead not because of any personal hate, but for Haruto's sake since he's troubled that he finds himself a "monster"and he doesn't deserve to be with her. Haruto's motive was also to avenge her death by destroying the Dorssian army and knowing that she's alive know kinda ruins it for me.

Of course “resistance is futile” was gg's choice of translation. Maybe they're trekkies. Or the person doing the translation. The mechs resembling starships… I consider myself a bit of a trekkie and yet I don't see it, sorry :-)

Yeah, Shoko surviving was stupid. That is unless the reason she's without a scratch is because she's the pilot of a Valvrave too? Interesting thought...

And I think L-elf gave himself up to the ARUS since he really has nowhere else to go right now. And honestly, I think the REAL Haruto can't kill anyone very easily. He's too much of a pacifist. It was only when he was in L-elf's body that he was able to kill without hesitation. I think that was on purpose as somehow Haruto and L-11's consciousness mixes to a degree with Haruto's as the dominant one. That's why he was used to violence in the beginning, but became pathetic when he went back into his own body.

No man, nothing every gets rid of the haters. It's like Sunrise mecha shows destiny to be both really popular and get thread shit to hell for things that people normally don't take nearly as much offense to. There's no such thing as a good Sunrise mecha show discussion.
