^ Pretty much. But honestly, how the hell can people still take this anime seriously?
If I can take superhero movies from Hollywood seriously enough I am sure I can take this one sufficiently seriously to view it as more than just something to mock or laugh at.

I'm sorry. I don't agree with you. I don't see any logic nor teaching that this anime should give. This just talks about an immortal vampire that seeks girls to rape; A cool white haired guy that can destroy a base alone with his bare hands. And about how students in a school (in anarchy state) can just live their school life, during a war.


I didn't know one had to draw logic or teaching out of watching anime. Isn't enjoyment enough?

Wow. So people are hating on Haruto just because he's man enough to take responsibility for what happened? Granted I think he's rushing into things a bit too fast, but I still think it's cool and I give him props for having courage.

Most guys in this situation would run away with their tail between their legs.

Best episode in a long time! Stupid Satomi! Shoko should have went to Akira :(

While I'm glad that Haruto's proposing, at the same time I feel like it's just some dumb 'responsibility' junk. Which will just end badly

Haruto needs to fall in love with her for reals

Also, now I'm starting to think that thing that everyone thought was some sort of time-skip thingy was actually a movie of Saki's.

Darn you Satomi for ruining a potentially great ShokoxAkira moment >_<

It's a real pity for Shoko, but I like Rukino, so the marriage is a go go for me.

Now moving on to the episode; I wasn't too fond of this anime for a while to put it mildly, but after finishing FMA:B today- a great anime- I'm even more annoyed by Valvrave. Haruto is as boring as always and the suspense of the show equals zero, would be my two biggest problems with the show right now. It's flashy and the music's sweet but the plot and the characters are as badly written as they come.

My real question here is does Haruto even realise what he did? He knows they woke up together, but is it possible that Saki lied to him about the situation? Perhaps from embarrassment/to protect him.

Either way, the proposal's really stupid. Haruto's never shown any romantic interest in Saki at all. She obviously has a crush on him, but he's been fixated on Shoko since the start.

In fact, I don't really like Saki at all. She's very whiny. For a girl that supposedly has it all - an idol that's starred in movies (meaning she no doubt has a plush home life) and that seems popular amongst other students is always saying that she's "alone" when that really isn't the case. Unless she means that she's horrified about being single, which is stupid. If she's really that desperate to get Haruto to like her, maybe she should stop slut shaming other girls and using Haruto's body against his will to get her own way.


Seriously what a rant. I think you can understand from Saki's background that she is alone. SHe does not have a family, nor did she have any real friends. Shouko is the fairy tale princess who had everything. Now that things are being taken away from her it is oh so sad that people pity her and keep saying Poor Shouko. Boo hoo to Shouko as well.

Oh the twists and turn of this anime. I am surprised that young Shoko was able to stop her self from attempting to save her father. Though L-elf wouldn't have let them lose regardless though it seems (he was probably about to point a gun to her head).

I was expecting the ending at all, I was actually expecting him to be so emotionally shut off that he wouldn't be able to have contact with any female. I loved the ending and can't wait till the next episode to see L-elf and comrades face off against his former teacher (it seems).

Nope.

First episode refers to the "time now" as "time that will be known as Year One of Third Galactic Empire". Its not a movie.

He is immortal, under normal circumstances there would be a pretty good chance that you would be correct. However, because there is a season 2 coming and both Sakai and Haruto are immortal I don't believe the death flags are for them.

@ShikiAshGrave Okay, taking your personal views on moving past your past out of the equation(because they are irrelevant) you aren't really understanding how depressing and bitter Saki and Haruto's relationship is. The lyrics to the ED are really accurate to their relationship and are certainly foreshadowing. As was said, there is certain misery awaiting them due to all the circumstances within their relationship, you don't even have to be able to read the obviously melancholic tone to guess that.
consideration? understanding? whats that? what is fair about us is qur ego and qur desires irrelevant i see u ether still don't know how the world works? or blatantly ignoring my opinions? which one is it? another irrelevant question perhaps? anyway on to real topic depressing and bitterness comes in one package with relationships u cant avoid no matter how u try like i said haruto made the most correct choice here no matter what reasons i already do her so i gotta take responsibility what do u expect him to do? ditch saki cuz he wasn't himself? that wont do for all we know saki might be pregnant with his child already

Your posting is all over the place. I still don't know how the world works? lol where does that come from?

And no, I'd have to say depression and bitterness should really not be a given in a relationship.

You totally strayed from the topic there..I never said anything about him being wrong in proposing(though eventually he'll regret it once he realizes VVV-tan was behind it and that he was practically tricked into being with Saki) but back to the REAL real topic, you were making it sound like they were going through this super happy fairy tale relationship built purely off their love for one another, when it is anything but.

I actually wanted L-Elf to shoot Shouko. I'm so sick of her. I'm glad she didn't try to do something stupid and tell Haruto to stop.

L-Elf kinda vanished near the end. Did he panic or not see any of that?

Or maybe he did and again it's a just as planned moment?

Marriage? Heh let me guess he thinks he has to take responsibility for what he did rather than having feelings for her.

Whatever better than Shouko.

I dunno. I find Saki to be a whiny little girl. Really, really whiny. I'm not discrediting the fact she was "alone" but come on, dude...that's literally all that she spouts every. fucking. episode. "I was alone. I'm still alone. Choose me, no one chooses meeeee..." but she's the one who's pushing people away.

EDIT: Except for Haruto, apparently. Now that one she's not willing to let go. Not for at least 200 years. *time skip

First of all...I was not expecting Haruto to propose to Rukino..but it happened and I don't know whether I should feel happy or not, because like someone said he's just taking responsibility.

However, he could really fall in love with her later, since I doubt he stopped loving Shouko just because of what happened with Rukino. I really hope he really falls in love with Rukino, because she's just an awesome character for me.

Also..poor Shouko, I may not like her, but you have to feel sorry for her seeing her dad die, but it seems like L-elf was ready to shoot her if she made the wrong choice.

I can't believe everything just went wrong there...and I really thought L-elf new everything, or maybe he has something else planned..who knows.

Haruto x Saki and L-elf and the Princess : )

Wow things took a much happier turn (apart from Shoko but who cares about her) than I thought they would. I was expecting Haruto to be super depressed and scarred, but he proposes to Saki instead. Surprised he took responsibility for his actions and requited Saki's affection. Not a bad episode.

Um.. what... the... HELL??! I'm sorry but this was one of the stupidest episodes ever, only because of Haruto and Saki. The rest was good. I am so pissed off, I can't even control myself. Haven't been this pissed off by an episode in a long time.

First of all, he is/was in love with Shoko and didn't have the balls to tell her what was up with him (or even confess) but basically told EVERYONE ELSE. And now he's like "well Saki understands me" well NO SHIT, she knows everything. Shoko would accept everything about Haruto if he gave her the chance. Then he "apparently" falls in love with Saki only after raping her, even though he wasn't even conscious when he did it, plus didn't like her romantically. How does that make sense.

All the while, Shoko is keeping a happy face and supporting everyone but she doesn't get no happiness for herself. The one she loves is having an affair with someone else and she watches her father die. But nooooo, everyone is saying Saki is the victim here. Because she's "lonely" apparently. Maybe Saki should stop being such a whiny bitch and maybe start being more social and helpful to others if she's so jealous of Shoko. I have no idea how she was an idol to begin with, she has no idol personality whatsoever. I'm thinking she lost it all.

Edit: lol.. taking responsibility for what he did by marrying? If every guy married every girl they had sex with, every guy would have a gazillion wives. Seriously, use your brains people. That is NOT taking responsibility.

Technically, Haruto didn't exactly FAILL IN LOVE with Saki, he just felt bad that he raped her and he felt like he needed to take responsibility for his actions, which isn't exactly all that bad, even though it's probably not the smartest way of going about it. Plus Haruto's not exactly "having an affair" since he and Shoko never really were dating.

I'm a HarutoxShoko fan myself, don't get me wrong, but Saki isn't all that bad either, even though I think she has to be the most annoying character on this show plus she's way too obsessed about Haruto, and apparently they didn't even know each other before the whole incident, so can't see how that happened. Plus it wasn't really Haruto's fault that he raped Saki, it was the curse (Ironically, if you want to get down to it, Shoko's the reason that Haruto proposed to Saki). Other than that, yup you pretty much have it down XDD, the rest of the episode was pretty awesome though.

I would think Haruto asked Saki to marry him because he didn't want her to feel alone anymore. Quite obviously that talk in this episode made Haruto think. Besides they're both spirits so he probably thought he's the only one who can bring her happiness.
Saki's obviously starting to grow on him. He doesn't hesitate to ask her, and he asked her in the middle of battle. He also seemed darn confident about his decision.
Haruto x Saki could potentially be a great couple. The potential is greater than that of Haruto x Shouko, but if things are left as is right now, this would be a terrible pairing.

As for Shouko, after that bullshit election its nice to see her put under war stress she didn't see coming. You'd think the death of her friend in earlier episodes makes her take things seriously already.

I don't think that Shouko is not "taking things seriously". It's just that she understands that, in the end, they ARE just high school students.

Sure, they might be part of an underground experiment/development of giant, space vampire-turning, humanoid robots but before Dorssia launched their attack on Module 077, they're just ordinary JIORian students enjoying their high school lives, preparing for their culture festival, playing with friends, struggling with their feelings of love, and other concerns that ordinary high school students have.

They are not trained soldiers like L-Elf. One moment they were just having a pleasant school day and then suddenly they were thrown in the middle of an intergalatic space war! Their friends were killed, their families captured and/or forced into hiding...Shouko's enthusiasm is one of the reasons why morale hasn't dropped to an all time low. Shouko's unshakable belief and faith that things would be "okay" and "they way they were and should be" is that one thread of hope where they can cling to their sanity.

Or at least, this is how I read it.

True, but as I recall high school wasn't all fun and games. And how did she win the election? Through fun and games. She went right for prime minister without considering the war scenario's which would occur, and naturally couldn't react to the situation. She's way to optimistic after the death of her friend. I get they're not military soldiers, but they're not kids either. Maybe if they were smart enough to declare their own independent nation, they should actually start acting like a nation, rather than a group of kids who claimed a playground the size of Hawaii. Sure Shouko's enthusiasm is needed, but when that's all someone offers it leads them down to a path of optimism and ignorance.

I imagine now Shouko has the bitter taste of war, she's pretty much guaranteed to change, if she survives. If they get on the moon and she remains prime minister, she'll start training and taking war seriously, leading others to hate her for breaking her promise. The whole election was a joke.

She went right for prime minister without considering the war scenario's which would occur, and naturally couldn't react to the situation. She's way to optimistic after the death of her friend. I get they're not military soldiers, but they're not kids either. Maybe if they were smart enough to declare their own independent nation, they should actually start acting like a nation, rather than a group of kids who claimed a playground the size of Howaii. Sure Shouko's enthusiasm is needed, but when that's all someone offers it leads them down to a path of optimism and ignorance.

I imagine now Shouko has the bitter taste of war, she's pretty much guaranteed to change, if she survives. If they get on the moon and she remains prime minister, she'll start training and taking war seriously, leading others to hate her for breaking her promise. The whole election was a joke.


I also think that the whole reality of the war is going to hit Shouko hard after this episode. With her father dead and Haruto (istillthinkthisisadouchemove) proposing to Saki, it would be understandable that she would be in a rather dark (cue L-ELF here) place.

But I think you're forgetting one *possibly crucial* player here: RAINBOW. Shouko's enthusiasm broke into Rainbow's carefully placed barriers and (while it also opened dark memories) introduced her to a possibility of re-joining society. I think that Shouko's *possible* breakdown would force Rainbow to leave her fort to knock some sense into Shouko...and also pilot the fifth Valvrave?
IF YOU DON’T SHIP MY OTP, I SWEAR TO GOD I’ll be okay with that.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE STUFF THAT I LIKE, I’M GONNA respect the fact that you have your own taste.

I wonder if Shoko will give them a nice "wedding gift"?


OH MAN, IT MADE MY DAY. I'M DONE.


Agreed, that was priceless.

I'm pretty happy about this whole thing. I'm not opposed to Shoko and Haruto hooking up, but I'd like to see her pilot first. However, if she never does, and he gets it in with Saki
I will feel good about it, too. It'll defeat all his opposition to telling Shoko how he feels if they get together while she's still human, which would piss me off.

Ok, seen the ep

And finally the punishment begins. All that amount of ill-ridden decisions (like The weak threat to give the valvraves to Jior if their parents were hurt) was going to blow directly to her face even more when Shouko's father was not on L-Elf interests. L-elf also had a contingency plan if Shouko were decided to yield.

Now what piqued my interest is Akira's past and the reason for her being a Hikki-chan. Maybe a traumatic phase due to distrust by her peers? or a catastrophic event?

And again a poor execution to a pivotal event like Haruto's proposal. Yes it make sense if he wants to empathically share that feeling of being alone as an abnormal entity with Saki, but pretend like nothing happened was rushed so for me this is like a spin-off.

Now, the most important build-up for this week: The Dorssian Raid. Getting close to the season finale makes me think that they are going to succeed in stealing a VVV unit to give balance to the scale of war since Cain himself is leading the raid outsmarting L-Elf contingencies (at least for now, since they can always pull the According to keikaku card).

And I am still hoping the Kill-em-all.

Actually he has three. No, the raising of the pinkie is an intergalactic sign for "problem solved" xD...at least in my book load of excuses.


I believe the upraised pinky is the Japanese gesture for "woman on the side" which would also solve the problem one way or another...

And I don't know if anyone else has said this since I only read the first three pages of comments before the who is more pretentious than whom debate got a little tiresome, but are we sure that Saki is going to accept this proposal?
Please don't feed the trolls!
