That's what my sentimental side hopes.
But my mind tells me there will be a tragedy towards the end...
By the way, while waiting for the end, I'm enjoying this gift given by the Goddess of Yuri!

Dang, I can only find the censored version.
Oh God! My Eyes! The Blinding Light! The Pitch Darkness! Worst Censorship in the World!
Ecchi animes are the worst when receiving censorship to the point it is not worth watching unless uncensored.
I hope I can find the uncensored version somewhere.
And seriously to the people who complain about ecchi or fanservice, what are you hoping for in an ECCHI Anime to begin with? seriously naive.

@ramenshoujo

If you simply hated on the show, i wouldn't have even said anything myself. Honestly i think the show is objectively shitty, if i were to rate it on the same scale with other anime. Shows like this that are powered by "fanservice" and lewd i generally toss in the same category as porn itself.

My problem was with your willy-nilly use of a fairly radical feminist word, "Male-Gaze". It has no place in a thread about an anime that specificly caters to a subsect of the male-demographic. Not saying there aren't women that would enjoy this, or anything. The thing is, [I]I[/I] Don't go into threads about shoujo anime, going "Ugh, guys don't behave/think like that, what the fuck is up with this female-gaze going on in this anime". If there is something i disagree or don't like in a shoujo anime, i can generally understand that i'm watching something not meant for my demographic and let it slide. I probably also looked at the shoujo tag before even starting to watch the anime so i probably knew what kind of show i was getting into in the first place.

If you want to continue the show, it's your perrogative and your right. People are just suggesting that you don't put yourself through something that you obviously don't like just to prove some point, is all.

Wow, took a peek at the censored one and the AT-X one and I don't even understand why some stuff are censored. Like right after the opening scene where they're still in the stadium and there's a light on one of the girls breasts. There aren't even any nips in the AT-X version during the scene.

Really don't like the main girl, the short one. I don't even remember her name, Virgin was it?

Perfect to describe this show. First time I watch something like this uncensored. Everything's so lewd, I feel absolutely lesbian after every episode, lol.
Not sure how I feel about all the fanservice and such yet though, but I can't say I thoroughly dislike it. Don't know how to explain, lmfao.

Mirei is such a prince. That kiss was so lewd, lol.
Can't believe Mirei is 15 years old, you've gotta be fucking kidding me.

I like the ending. It's fun :p

Damn, pretty much all of the girls aside from Mamori and Mirei are cunts.

Fucking butler girl kept calling Mamori Virgin...was waiting for Mamori to pull a Heisenberg and be like motherfucker say my name.

If Mamori rejected an A-class that means her and Mirei have to be stupid OP. I wonder if that "Welter" class of girls are above A, or if she can just flat out reject everybody.

I like how calm and cool Mirei is, but I kind of wish she talked more. God Onii-sama taught me that you can be cool, collected, stoic, and OP as fuck...but still be able to hold a conversation.

Bet you that mecha pilot jizzed his pants when Mirei's camel toe came flying down on his camera. I cant believe she's only 15. Clearly they weren't even subtle about joking about it when they showed off her body as she said that lol.

Also, we can see that Mirei's former Exter partner was that girl with blue hair. And from the PVs and OP, she'll be on Mermaid as well. Wonder how that reunion will go.

I'm just going to assume that you don't know this, so I'll enlighten you and help you out.

Yuri is almost always associated with the more sexual ecchi aspects of female love.

Shoujo Ai is usually the more romance/lovey-dovey emotional aspect.

So really what you mean to say is Shoujo Ai is all about the feels. But this show is heavily based on yuri so that's not a problem.

Shoujo Ai = Sakura Trick
Yuri = Gokujo, This show

Not to say you cant have both though, like Strawberry Panic, Yuru Yuri (to a light, comedic extent) and others.

This anime is made with male audience in mind. If you are expecting it to have a pure shiny love i would advise you to drop it. This anime is about fanservice and and girls with big boobs touching each other in lewd ways and i have to say...the anime is delivering it. XD

I know some people were expecting to see that nice yuri romance, but that's not the premise here. It can be disappointing, but the anime at least shows its true colors right from the beginning so people can't even say they were fooled.


Edit: Now i see you already got tons of responses. If you liked the action (which were not that great) or the ecchi parts (they were great), it won't be a waste to keep watching it even without the romance, but if you can't stand the ecchi scenes you'll be bored very fast.

Aside from the body proportions, I don't know why this is just to male audiences. It's not like lesbians have only romantic sex.

And males in general don't like lesbians, they only like some girl-on-girl action or bisexual women at most to fantasy themselves enjoying the girls. If there isn't any male character to represent them, they don't have fun to the fullest.

I mean, search for Queen's Blade fanfictions. An anime with a cast full of girls, but in all the few fanfictions, the authors go out of the way to create male characters.

Plus, after this episode 2, the romance aspect is just growing, clearly. There's the heavy ecchi part, but it not hides the feelings.

I think my opinion on this show has changed. I still think it's bad but it's entertainingly bad which makes it a good type of bad. Example being Chaos Dragon which was just boring bad and that's a bad kind of bad. This is like a 4 or a 5 maybe even a 6 if it actually gets somewhat of a story going. Watch me end up giving this a 10/10 at the end of the season lol.

This looks like it might be interesting. The animation appears to be good plus the battles are animated. So far I haven't seen a still frame, That's usually a good sign. The absolute worst thing is the Light-saber censorship, I should be used to it, but is a blight on the work of the entire production staff and the Original Creator. I know, let's use the same idea to censor all of the great works of Art from Michelangelo to Picasso. In fact, we should dress all attractive women in head-to-toe Burkas lest, Hitchens Preserve us, they have a wardrobe malfunction and have a nip slip. In case you can't tell I am being extremely sarcastic. I find censorship to be the most offensive and irrational acts of human beings besides War and Religion. The Human body is not an object of evil. It cannot lead people to commit acts of violence. Instead, it is the minds of Human Beings which lead one to act in ways that are considered by some to be animalistic which completely ignores the fact that animals are close cousins to us and that we Humans are the worst animal out of any group of animals that has ever lived.People need to be better educated, so that censorship will cease defaming works of art no matter what their subject matter contains.

I'm upset with Funimation for streaming the censored version of this when there is an uncensored version airing in japan. It is not one of those cases when we have to wait for the dvd/blue-ray release. It's disappointing when the fansubbed version is superior to the official release. I sent @Funimation an angry tweet about this and I would encourage everyone else to do the same.

It's my fault what I wrote earlier was interpreted differently than what I meant. Certainly, I am not siding with her at all, but even if the other person was throwing insults and rude remarks, it doesn't make the discussion thread any better if people think it's perfectly fine to do the same thing back because they've been provoked. I don't want this squabble to repeat itself on the next episode discussion when a similar post comes up again.

Well, if you hit a hornet's nest, stuff is gonna happen. Try this with any other reasonably popular fandom on MAL and expect a dogpile.

That said, I think the majority of people having problems with this show decided to pick it up without knowing what it was about, or even the genre.

I generally watch at least one PV and gloss over the info on the MAL page before trying out one ep. As long as you are not new to anime, there are plenty of "red flags" in the [2 minute] PV/info that would have saved you from the horror of seeing 24 minutes of ecchi.

I'll carry on watching with the censors and hopefully the action will stay alright.

There are plenty of better anime out there that focus on action.... [Although] I personally am interested in the world and story behind valkyrie drive, that never came first not for the writers nor producers of the show.

The thing about the ecchi in this show is that it is NOT gratuitous; it's central to the very well put together plot.

There are all sorts of little details that push the ecchi beyond mere eye candy.

One example: The little subbie who is Saijima's (eyepatch) Exter in Merei and Mamori's first episode arena duel.

When Mamori objects to Saijima's treatment of the girl (does anyone have a name for her?) she says, "Don't get any strange ideas; this is a necessary ritual. Otherwise, she can't get aroused." (And then, after the meek little Exter transitions to her formidable if ridiculous Arm form, Saijima adds, "Not bad for a slut who'll do anyone!")

Skip to Ep 2, where Mamori gets "married", that is, is introduced to a "trainer" who will Drive her to check compatibility. When Mamori rejects her advances, she gets the same crazed look in her eyes that Saijima had, if not quite so strongly. "My techniques don't work," she says, hurt and angry. "So that's how your body works? Then I'll have to excite you in a different way...a form of pleasure called pain!"

This makes it clear that Saijima' Exter is not necessarily a "Hardcore masochist," she's likely a gentle, straight girl like Mamori, only more so, who didn't respond to lesbian rape. She's been given to a monster like Saijima, then abused and passed around to like minded sadists. It's not that she can't get aroused; it's that she doesn't want to be, not like this.

Also, that "trainers" are not teachers of fighting technique; they break girls who don't submit properly. (I wonder how Liberators are found.)

The show is full of little jolts like this; nothing is simple, nothing is straightforward.

This is an island full of middle and high school girls, taken against their will, with nothing to do but fight and screw. The atmosphere is poisonous.

If you are lucky enough to find a partner you can trust, especially if you're the Exter, good.

Otherwise, your life is unending misery and boredom, sparked with violent lust and battle for no good end--except if you don't fight, either another mated paid kills you, or the virus does.

(I really, really hope that when Mirei broke S's Exter, that it implied freeing her, and not killing her. I hope we find out. I note that the pair that Mirei and Mamori fought on the beach are the ones who beat Mirei in the basement cell, so losing a battle while in Drive doesn't necessarily mean death. But what if Seijima had smashed Mamori's head in before Mirei's rescue? Seijima's eyepatch suggests that these fights have consequences, as do punishments exacted when not in Drive.)

Which is awful, if that's all this show is about, and I'll feel slimy for watching it and supporting it.

But I suspect that this is the slavery that Mirei came to Mermaid to break. This is not some external enemy being fought, nor empty academy matches. This is a real fight for freedom and dignity, and I'm enthralled.

The characters aren't cardboard cutouts, either.

And! And! Boobs with nipples! Yuri sex! Love and hate and romance and lust!

For cheap thrills, this show delivers like no other I've ever watched.

This is no Spartacus, but it ain't bad, and I'll take yuri ecchi over chariot races any day of the week.

(The best part? No spineless males constantly apologizing to girls for stuff the girl herself caused. I hate that, and if it keeps up in Cavalry, the other show I'm watching this season, it's gonna be dropped.)

I'm not a fan of this show but I've pledged never to drop a series and follow it to the end of its cour (haven't done every single Teekyuu because ffs that's a new series ever season and I can't be bothered). But there are some anime which has so much boob in it that you have to think, "what even is the point of censoring this? It just makes half the show into white beams of light and that's all you see for large portions of the action sequences"

Another insipid and silly episode, if you are not fans of the genre. If instead you are loved like that then things change. ASD
Anyway ... narratively they could solve everything in seconds, instead of lost time to show tits and ass at random, seasoning it all with a really pathetic nastiness from the bad guys, just to show us to the end of the birth of the couple tiny girl stupid but good and the bad girl with a tender heart. Oh well! At least it was good the rest, however even that is worth noting. I would like to know how to invent certain anime. LOL
