I have to say I'm a huge fan of Saki right now because Shouko as was said earlier is too sweet and cheerful. Its always that type of girl that gets the guy and I'd like a change plus just like Saeko in HOTD its likely she does these things cause she doesnt think she deserves the nice guy. That being said I may change my mind when we learn more about Akira or the VVV girl.

no way, I didn't see VVV-tan in the poll when I voted!
I would have voted for her before episode 6, but now I gave my vote to Saki >:D

I actually didn't really care about Saki before (other than her 1-liners). The end of episode 5 made me want to smack her for the kiss (because I thought she was going to make this into some love-triangle shit); however, I was pleasantly surprised when she that didn't turn out to be the case :)

So imho, best girl goes to Saki; best guy goes to Eru-Erufufufu. Reason being because they're not completely autistic

err their is a reason why Saki is like that she has been socially rejected time and time again especially by her parents


exactly, its always the nice childhood friend who wins, it should be the rejected crazy one who should win for once. she's been rejected her whole life, it should be bout time where something goes right.

Definitely Saki! She might be a bit of an attention whore, but she's proactive and not afraid to help Haruto fight.

Plus, with the timeskip, we know she survives for at least 200 years... and been fighting for probably the entire time. She's one of the most badass heroines, EVER!

Saki has spirit, I'll give her that. She's not afraid to raise a weapon, even against a super-soldier one man army. Shoko on the other hand is just a bit too bland for my taste...

@j0x:

Valvrave is at least as popular as Attack on Titan (in Japan; in terms of 2ch threads/post count) so I'm not surprised. Saki is a refreshing character: she's not a Mary Sue, but she isn't a bland moeblob either. She has her own endearing traits but has deep seated faults to counterbalance. She's a breath of fresh air in a role dominated by trite & clichéd "heroines" who are usually one-dimensional. She's an "attention whore" who manages to turn that negative into a virtue - something that reinforces her character while building her back-story and motivation for fighting. Let's not forget the biggest thing of them all: She's been fighting for over 200 years based upon a promise she made with picture-in-the-locket! If that doesn't scream "hero" I don't know what does! Clearly Saki has changed a lot post-timeskip but we know that it was a 'good' change; she became a model heroine.

Plus, Saki still manages to be normal despite everything else... so far:




[end@]

Really, Saki Rukino is my favorite heroine in a long time (and I'm a big fan of her VA). Saki is willing to put her foot down and fight and has actual character development! That alone makes her a great character and we are only 7 episodes into a 2 cour long series! Plus the timeskip just gave her MEGA-AWESOME plot armor. This last episode had tons of foreshadowing; Megane-chan's last words to Haruto are a HUGE flag that is going to matter later on, probably in the 2nd cour.

In the past few episodes (Episode 5 was the worst episode - for me - except for the last ~90-120 seconds) this anime has really flew up in terms of quality: IMO it shot up way past Suisui no Gargantia, Attack on Titan, and HenNeko (What can I say? I <3 Azuki Azusa). I really hope that Aniplex can maintain the great quality and writing - though I hope they don't drop the ball - or pick up the idiot ball...

Only time will tell if Valvrave can maintain this momentum. If they keep it up this show could easily surpass CG despite only having 1/2 the eps. Only time will tell, however...

On another subject, Valvrave has been hugely popular on 4chan in the past couple of weeks as well. Saki lovers vs Saki haters has been an ongoing war that has no end in sight.

Posting a height chart for the female cast (you can scratch Megane-chan off though, lol):

I wish I could vote for both Saki and Akira, but *sigh* democracy only allows me to vote for one.

I chose Saki. She's just the perfect amount of crazy to me for some reason. Really though, I really like this female cast for some reason.

Well, they all have their flaws but Saki is really kind of too pathetic for me to like more than the others. She has some traumas resulting in a screwed up personality. She thought this was all a game until she just got raped and realized shit was real. I feel like that was the effect it had on viewers too.

Shoko will get my vote because for all her faults she is truly a good upbeat person that brings positive change to everyone. I can't help but to like her and the more that she is developed the more useful she seems. She compliments L-Elf perfectly in running the student body I think.

Akira is a cute neet girl lol.

I have been saying Saki because her story so far has been so damn tragic especially after last episode. Although Akira has become a second choice because so little is know about her and she is so shy. Im rooting for either of those or some way unexpected choice.

The opening scenes of episode 1 seemed like a direct rip-off of GS...

Next season, I wonder if they'll call it Valvrave the Liberator: Destiny! (lol)

As for my favourite girl, well, I don't like any of them much, so I'll just say L-Elf, I mean, he looks girly enough anyway, maybe he'll turn out to be a reverse trap at some point :)

The results were fairly obvious, the normal sweet non-action girl is always doomed by the retardom. Some people do have good reasons for their opinions (though they are rarely extreme in their views) but most people on the internet are either retards or 5 year olds, unfortunately. Its can be pretty impossible to have an intelligent and realistic discussion on character analysis: their merits, their flaws, their motivation and the significance of those factors on the overall moral and plot of the story. Its fine to not exactly like a character or to commend a character for his merits while acknowledging his faults, but all these childish fanboyism and hate gets real grating.

Anyways, Saki is the best looker at least.

Actually I think it's just that characters like Saki are kind of in right now. People love the whole Tall Dark and Bishoujo action girl with a pro-active attitude, but she's also kind of a double whammy cause she combines that with the whole idol thing which is also pretty popular. It's kind of a trope that could only really exist in anime.

Saki more than any other character in the show I think was basically designed to be popular and steal the spotlight (as referenced in show multiple times by herself), but I still find her the most interesting for her development so far.

Also if you're talking about Aina she's kind of dead which limits her ability to get votes further down the line anyway. I can't assume you mean Shoko cause she's pretty action girl herself even if she doesn't directly participate in the combat or kick people in the stomach.

A recent poll in Japan also had Saki as the most popular character, only period. Makes you almost wonder if they should have just made her the flat out main character instead of just giving her her own manga series.
