I was surprised that the teacher was a Jior soldier or whatever.... i thought he was investigating the Valvrave robots and i think he even stopped "Thunder" from getting inside the Valvrave...

So eventually all students will become like Haruto...


There was already a clue to this earlier. After Saki became the Valvrave pilot, L-Elf commented that it was weird that both her and Haruto did it without dying, and he said something like "maybe there's a reason it is happening at this school."


Also, anyone notice the name Karlstein was dropped in this episode in relation to a facility that trains elite soldiers?

Guess the only one left to pilot VVV VI/Purple is

I kinda liked Money guy and Aina together, tbh. But so far all of the pilot's motivation(minus Saki) to resign their humanity is vengeance. Though, I think Thunder didn't quite understand the whole 'resigning your humanity' thing.

Haruto and L-Elf also just started living together and they're already having marriage problems.

Looking forward to next week if certain spoilers are legit xD



hey men..this is just my guess since episode 2 but so far its right..see the OP where everyone is looking left and right?? all the pilots are the ones looking to the right!(Saki, Inu, Thunder, Nerd guy, President, and yes the female teach!) plus haruto that wil make the Golden 7!..and also base on the latest ep which proves me right again..the male teach said that all the teachers in the academy are soldiers except the female teach!..this is all my guess.. but if im wrong i wish Akira will be the pilot of the purple Valvrave..but still have two more missing Valvrave so its anyones guess :)

Actually it's not even that subtle. It's as simple as the order of the characters. If you watch them in the order they are shown in the OP, it's our two MCs first, Haruto and L-11.

Then we have our pilots in the exact order they appeared: Saki, Kyuma, Raizo, and Akira.

Then after that it's Aina, Marie, Yusuke, Takahi, Satomi, Takumi-sensei, Rion-san, and Shoko...interpret that as you will.

yeah i notice that too..but i can see some symbolism in that part of the OP too where the pilots have left their humanity to be pilots thus looking to the right..i might be over thinking things..but hey! if anyone of them become pilots that would be good especially Akira. :3

Did you guys see Kaminari has twelve arms? If you consider the pilot has two of his own. :D

- Yamada?!
- Sandaa da!

Jokes aside, Kyuuma suddenly became from a respectable senpai to a delusional pawn. Two more pawns on Eru-Erufu's chess board now. Good ol' Eru-Erufu. He makes the show so much better just appearing in it. I have never seen such a one character dependent anime before!

Saki had minimum appearance in the episode. And I realized the show loses much of its charm if she isn't there. Shoko is still my fave though!

5/5 for golden entertainment. This anime is so predictable that it's pure gold! Didn't see all those who died were soldiers coming though!

Everything go just as Eru-Erufu planned.

Two Valvrave activated in one episodes. If Shoko actually died in the first episode, 3 of the Valvrave pilot will have revenge as their reason for fighting.

Well, didn't expect everyone beside the students to be JIOR spies.

Yes, more or less. The original quote is:

It's not exactly clear who was responsible, so "They have succeeded in duplicating it" is another interpretation.

Yamada and Inuzuka finally got their own Valvraves! They're probably the 2 most interesting characters in this show besides L-Elf and the Dorsian princess. This show is so predictable and cliche but the mecha action is so good. Always keeps me entertained even though the story itself is pretty bad.

Here's next episode preview screen caps. For some reason the Chinese subs had it even though the English one's didn't. The title of Episode 10 is 恋の選挙公約, which they say translates to something along the lines of "Election Promise of Love"?

The raws going around didn't have the episode 10 preview for some reason. I noticed the Chinese source doesn't have a station watermark, so maybe they got theirs from the internet.

Cool episode!!!

There were so many great scenes here and the action was pretty good. I see that Haruto is starting to attack people more often now and the AI in his Valvrave is responding by saying the words 'hungry' so I guess blood is their source of power. The two Valvraves were pretty well designed and as I expected, Kyuuma and Yamada were the ones to pilot them. Interesting concepts for their attacks and it really felt like watching gundam especially when the scene where Aina briefly responds to Kyuuma's confession.

I guess Kyuuma really did like Aina a lot and its nice to see that he is able to something for everyone now. L-elf proves himself to be a worthy and a clever tactician and leader where Haruto seems to approve some of his ideas. Seems like the entire JIOR people except for Nanami were in the army and I kind of expected that the Valvraves may have been the reason. Maybe the secret to the Valvraves will be revealed later.

Looking forward to the next episode!!

5/5

I love this anime.

Thunder irritates me and I was hoping he wouldn't end up with a Valvrave, but eh, whatever.

I wonder what the OS meant with "hungry". Why would Haruto be going vampire more often?

Love this anime.

It is a nice twist that Module 77 was make only for the Valvraves.

I wonder what the connection between the OS and Cain is and why the OS is "hungry"?

Well this was a very good episode. Compared to the previous episodes, the action in this episode was much better. My dislike or hatred towards L-elf lessened a little bit after these last 2 episodes but i still don't like him that much. But as long as he doesn't pull off any crap like episode 3 or doesn't talk about sacrificing all the time, he can be likable. Still he talked down to Kyuma but isn't he doing all this himself for saving/helping out the princess. Well whatever.

Kyuma was a good character. Rather than moping around he tried to get better. I think he is a good fit as a Valvrave pilot. Also he is not fully consumed by revenge. That's a good thing. Now about Valvrave 5, it's really great with it's defensive abilities and long-range crossbows. But i think the opening showed it using a longbow too.

Thunder is definitely one of the most likable characters. The guy isn't just a punk, he cares about people especially his friends. Before you go judging his, remember that he said he doesn't want anyone else to die in front of him. With Valvrave 3, he makes a good pair. It really suits him.

Now Valvrave 3............that thing is overkill. It's got both close range and long range capabilities not to mention its got 8 freaking arms with lasers/daggers. That thing is a freaking monster. I love it. Got to give props to sunrise. They really made the Valvraves unique and cool, also overpowered. I liked how Kyuma and Thunder battled together. I really wish to see Saki and Haruto fighting together like that. It's really interesting as how Valvrave focuses on characters who are going to become pilots in that particular episode rather than focusing on the MCs. They are doing a good job.

Some people said about how Valvrave 3 & 5 got so many kills. Cain's group specializes in tactics and their objective is to captue the module and valvraves. So it's pretty obvious their group is superior and why Haruto and Saki has so much trouble facing them. The other commander was just an idiot. His second-in command was much interesting. Too bad she died. Please somebody slap Shouko already. Dopes she really understand what situation they are in? Who the hell force feeds the commander/tactician in the middle of a battle? Does she think this a wonderland where they just sing and dance around? She gets more annoying every episode. I really hope Saki gets one on her next episode.

So teacher was a spy along with most of the people in Module 77. But why does the AI only shows up in Haruto's Valvrave and only he seems to get those impulses? The AI getting hungry at the same time.........they are linked somehow. Still waiting for them to tell us more about the Magius (Vampires). Overall Valvrave is progressing well as long as there are no more jingle bells.

Thank you. I think it probably means the weirder one (reproduce) because the female officer said something like "I guess I didn't mishear him." Or maybe they mean it like "clone." Meaning that they found an archetype and recreated it themselves. That happens in a bunch of other mecha shows like

I'm more interested in the reveal at the beginning than the Jior soldier reveal. The OS girl needs her pilot(?) to bite more often so it seems. That could create some funny scenes. Yup. Entertaining episode, but the Dorssian army are looking like fools right now. Commencing attack, retreating before the end of the episode... Sigh. I hope the Dorssians create some immortal vampire, god complex having teens of their own to pilot some Valvrave sexiness too. So far it's been a onesided battle..

I'm sure since they are vampires now they will have to "eat" other people in order to survive or continue piloting the valvrave and its going to become this huge dilemma, sacrifice people to protect ourselves with the valvraves or give up and turn ourselves in.

Shouko/L-Elf ship is moving along, I see. THis makes me even more convinced that Shouko is going to get dead by end of season one.

Otherwise quite a transitional episode and I am really interested on where the whole Military Experiment plot goes. More and more convinced that Galactic Empire "Golden Seven" are fighting against 200 years latter will be led by Jior

100% sure the purple one will be not-military female teacher who got her own monologue this episode.
