| OH...MY...GOSH.... This episode literally took my breath away. All the reveals, all the carnage, all the mayhem....just wow... Cain finally showed his hand, and how! Slaughtering students left and right, using poison gas, he is serious about this. L-elf expected Cain, but we find that despite this, he still is not prepared for the onslaught of his former teacher and master. And if L-elf is scared, you had best be too. Haruto joins up with L-elf after Cain literally kicks their buts. However, it is only when Akira takes her place as the last of the Valvrave pilots that things take a turn for the better. Well, that is until Cain truly reveals his hand. It seems VVV2 is an unfinished Valvrave, but all it needed was the missing piece that was the green crystal in his birdcage. This crystal becomes the AI entity known as "Blue", who is not only the angry shadowed image behind VVV-tan ("Red"?), but is also her elder brother, and has a hatred for humans. And for the first time, his activation, allows "VVV-tan" to speak! Going back to Akira, we find that her agoraphobia, is a result of her being violently bullied in school (what is it with Japanese anime schools that they allow bullying of this intensity and blatancy?). Through a conversation with her, Shoko, and her brother, and then Shoko being knocked out by the oncoming drill, Akira finally finds the courage to come forth from out of the shadows in order to protect her friend. She becomes the pilot of VVV6, which seems to have the ability of "hacking" any object it touches with it's staff. Akira is the only one able to stop the drill, just as it reaches the school, as the other 3 Valvraves have been put out of commission by Q-4 and X-1. Saki is another amazing plot point in this episode, as we get another future shot of her with a young boy who happens to look like a wide-eyed version of L-elf! Is this her son? Is is L-elf and not Haruto that she gets together with? Was it their family photo that was in her locket and did she make her promise too him some 14 years before the last flash forward and 11 years before this one? And if so, how does he become an immortal? And if he is then that means he's not dead, so what's going on? Also, we see that this is 3 years before the last flash forward, and the 3rd Galactic Reich has taken over the galaxy. She speaks of "The Founder" and how he was first fighting for "Module 77" in those days, and the first time he had contact with a Magius. Is the Founder Haruto? L-elf? I'm guessing the "Magius" she's referring to is Cain, but that's not clear, though we do notice that she where's the Magius symbol on her thigh. And who are the Magius? Well, it looks as if we are delving into the "secret society that runs everything" trope, as we learn that not only Cain, but also the BOTH world leaders, as well as the Fuhrer's council, are also also Magius. and that they basically run the world. Well, I can honestly say that I didn't expect that. Haruto and his fellow pilots aren't as unique as they thought, and Haruto is a "third generation" according to Cain, and he doesn't seem too impressed. Speaking of Haruto, Saki of course denies his proposal, saying that she is an idol and is above all that, and that sexual assault is something that an idol has to live with. However, even naive Haruto sees that it's a front, and we can see that Saki is trembling from emotional pain inside her cockpit. Now whether that's because she loves Haruto, but knows that what's happened between them will only cause them misery, or because she is remembering that night, or a little bit of both? That is up for interpretation. Well, back to the Magius, we can see they are somewhat magical vampires, as Cain speaks a spell or chant over himself to create the green bubble he uses to break into the room with VVV2. A-drei (who it seems is through with L-elf's noncooperation) and H-neun (who it seems honestly just really wanted to share tea with Kriemhild) as well as L-elf and Haruto witness his powers and discover that he is in fact not human but Magius vampire. He can use Blue to power any Valvrave he wants so, it's possible that it's the entity that allows you to pilot and not the machine. So if Haruto's vehicle was destroyed, he could, in all possibility take out VVV-tan's "crystal" and place it into another frame and create a new Valvrave! I can hardly wait for next season, a whole 3 months or so away. This show looks like it can easily become Sunrise's next franchise. It's obvious that the Magius win and take over the galaxy, but we need to see how it is that they get there. What troubles will Haruto and his friend come across along the way? What is the nature of the 3rd Galactic Reich? Oh, I have never hoped for October to come so soon! I give this episode a 9.98/10, only because I hoped for some named characters to die. Yet, with Cain with a Valvrave of his own, I think that the students of Module 77 aren't out of the woods yet. I give this season a 9/10. It kept me highly entertained, and even with some rather ridiculous moments, I know I've found a keeper. I'll be awaiting the second season with high anticipation. |
| Oh WOAH. What a way to end things. Akira became the pilot of the new valvrave. It wasn't nice seeing her breaking down like that. Anyways....that was amazing. I'm so looking forward to the next season. |

Saki was looking all soft and kind, telling hima story about the past " like "How I met your Father". When Cain was all glow-y after Haruto shot him from the V1, I was kind of expecting him to do some green-glow-y magic that will fuse L-elf and Haruto together or something. THAT or the L-elf x Haruto's bastard child theory. |
| 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 need Season 2 right now |
neontaster said: Valvrave >>>>>>>>>>>> Geass. Yeah, I said it. Come at me, Onii-chan. I hate to admit this, but I actually did like it more than S1 of Code Geass. For it to beat S2, however, it'll need something as brilliant as that final episode. Kaioshin_Sama said: kenshin_sama said: Leave it to Sunrise to give an unbelievably exciting ending to get the hype going for another season. Seriously, the amount of ridiculousness in this anime is just brilliant! It's times like these that remind me why I fucking LOVE Sunrise. Need 2nd cour ASAP!!!! 8/10 Sunrise receiving actually love and appreciation for their efforts in a mecha show? What is this 1984? *gasp* Seeing a post like this almost single handedly cancels out all the bullshit I've seen getting spewed at this show and it's creators for the better part of the season. Fuck the haters, they can't stop all people from enjoying this show no matter how hard they push, only those that have already made up their minds before the fact anyway. Ah, well, I suppose there will be times where series like Valvrave will end up on the negative side of things. Being around on MAL as long as I have, it's something I've come to get use to. That said, it's kinda hard to see how so many people keep trashing on an anime that does so many things to make itself enjoyable. Between the directing, the soundtrack, the animation, and its unique setting, Valvrave is the kind of anime that I can very easily come to love. |
| Sakichan wa haha ni natta. It's SANDAA!!! Mashin Gan Panchi!!!! Iron the thunder. It's pointless pointless pointless!!! Sakichan's scream. Just get the heck out, hikikomori. Varuvureivu Shikkusu! Varuvureivu Tsuu! Nii-nii-oniichan! Best ep so far. Valvrave's finally getting awesome. And finally, a good villian mecha. A little too late. Eru-Erufu was keeping the earlier crappy episodes barely watchable. Would've dropped this show if not for him. |

| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
kenshin_sama said: I hate to admit this, but I actually did like it more than S1 of Code Geass. For it to beat S2, however, it'll need something as brilliant as that final episode. I thought Geass fell apart in R2. It was certainly big and epic and whatnot, but something about the vibe of season 1 was lost and many things that felt like they were a set up for a later pay off never really paid off. I'm actually hoping that Valvrave manages to at least stay consistent until the end. |
 |
| Despite all the stupid this show had I still enjoyed it. There were some serious moments and those moments were good. Can't say I enjoyed the rape scene though. 7/10, looking forward to more laughs the second season. Honestly I hope it gets a lot better in season two. |
SacrificialMoon said: Worst best anime I've ever seen. It's so bad that it's good. Stop being tsundere and say you liked it. Come on. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I'm expecting a mahou shoujo and someone to go SSJ next season. It was nice to see eru erufu getting his ass handed to him this ep. He's finally no longer mr untouchable! |
 |
| John Eru-Erufu Titor? Akira fucked shit up. She'll be a more useful pilot than Kyuuma and Yamada I'm sure. Pretty lame how Dorssia always conveniently comes up with these traps to immobilize the VVV's when the plot needs it. They gave them all their screentime to show off a couple of moves just to get stuck again and provide nothing for the battle or episode. But on Akira, I'm not sure but does she have a disability? Someone mentioned it last week, but until this episode with the "retard" written on her belongings, nothing seemed to stand out unless I missed something early on. If it's true, I'm not really sure how I feel about Sunrise pulling that.. Lol Magnius, rulers from the shadows. Because there has to be the organization pulling the strings from the shadows. Every concept and trope must be used! Thought it was a bit of a disappointing finale, but damn that was a really good preview. I really liked the looks of the new setting. Damn good job getting the hype train going. This series just has this ineffable charm to it. |

I'm actually hoping that Valvrave manages to at least stay consistent until the end. You are right about that. S2 lacked a lot of semblance to the first, and it was a little bit of a challenge to watch at the beginning of it. But what makes the sequel so much better for me was how magnificently handled that final scene was. It was the single most enjoyable moment I have ever had watching anime. But yeah, if Valvrave does avoid that flaw that Code Geass made with the consistency, then it's possible that I'll like it more. |
| I bet those Dorsians will become allies on the 2nd Season, at least H-neun didnt know who Cain really was. |
 |
 |
|
| nice that Akira became a pilot of valvrave but holy shit so much stuff happen in this episode like Saki might end up with L-Elf and have a kid in the future lol, and that Cain is another none human character and he holds blue that was the brother of vvv tan |
rederoin said: mixordia said: Saki x L-Elf? Ohh... I will like if it happens! That kid has Haruto's eyes. I think its either Eru erufu x Saki/Haruto's kid or Eru erufu and Haruto's kid(I would not be surprised if this way actually possible). Well, because of the lighting, we can't tell if the kid's eyes are blue or violet. Violet can suggest either L-elf or Saki (they both have the same eye color). However, since the boy's got L-elf's looks, I'd say child of L-elf and Saki. |
SolKeeper said: bastek66 said: Fai said: Also notable is the fact that Shouko is COMPLETELY absent from S2 preview. Are you deaf or shippingshit blocks your ears? She speaks right before Saki. I didn't hear her. Her voice is high pitched therefore really noticeable but I didn't notice her. I was pretty sure it was Akira-chan who spoke before Saki screamed "Haruto! Save me!" Nah it was her that said "you were worried about me?" |

skudoops said: Considering you're only watching 4 shows this season, saying it's the 'greatest series this season' is quite laughable.10/10, the entertainment factor was at some absurd levels here. As long as you don't take this show seriously it's easily the greatest series this season. |

Asrance88 said: Saki rejected Haruto's proposal though i still hope they get together in the end.. guess its to be expected for now.. but whats with their conversation? what sort of things could she be referring to? wasn't she a virgin till Haruto.. just what kind of past did she have? That's only an excuse. |

I'm actually hoping that Valvrave manages to at least stay consistent until the end. Agree, totally thought S1 of Geass was better than R2, which I thought began to become convoluted and come apart. However, in comparison to Valvrave? I'd have to say that while I like Geass better, Valvrave is a close second. One thing about VVV, is that its Suzaku, is actually bearable...LOL |
| What? Akira bullied? In a school where teachers are supposed to be soldiers? Well, at least now she can do the hikki on the VVV, it's more spacious and she can hack better. Illuminati is the evil, God I've always said that!! +1 to Shouko playing with 3D maneuver gear with the power of happy rainbows and friendship. Best show ever, 11/10. And let me troll, the show is trolling me, then I fight back D: |
 |
| Just a few things One never would have thought that Akira would be the one to pilot the purple robot. Second never thought L would ever lose. And wtf Cain not human, and who the fuck is blue. So now I have to wait till October for season two. I don't know if I should be happy or pissed. |
 |
| Just had to make an account to say how amazing this show has been. You never disappoint, Sunrise. (no, I refuse to accept that Gundam AGE exists) |
| Wow.. just wow I didn't expected that Hikikomori is going to pilot the purple Valvrave. well at least it's not predictable anymore lol. Valvrave with hacking skills = awesome. And didn't know that Cain has some sort of magical powers. Preview shows H-neun is all covered with blood and holding a gun i am guessing that L-elf will probably die somewhere in season 2. unless it's H-neun turn to betray Dorssian next. I really can't wait what will happen next. Sadly :( we all have to wait till October to watch the second season of Valvrave. |

| I'm 100% sure that we will meet the same people who bash this series in second season discussion thread. Either they are M or they are tsundere. Note: I'm haven't watch the last episode yet. |

Sourire said: bastek66 said: NTR incoming.Butthurt imminent I hate Haruto but if this seriously happens I'm dropping this show. no ntr plz |
| holy fuckin christ, all those absurdity make this show enjoyable as fuck.... now I'm eager to watch the seacond season :D |

skudoops said: And she lived in a room all along that apparently no one ever visited.Pretty sure they weren't in that school when she got bullied. Not 100% sure about that but he mentioned it happened when she was alot younger. Make sense. I mean, it's not like anyone in that school has something called IQ or something. "Hey! There's a giant drill under the school that's coming to slaughter us! Wanna go see it toghetah???" "Yeeee!!" NeoAnkara said: I have to say, I liked it, it's entertaining and enjoyable, but it's stupid as hell, I would never say that it is a good series, it's not a show that appeals to the rational side of the viewer, or worse, it's trying but failing.I'm 100% sure that we will meet the same people who bash this series in second season discussion thread. Either they are M or they are tsundere. Maybe that's why it's so enjoyable... |

Disliked this entire part it just felt like more trolling to me tbh. Somehow I had a feeling Akira was going to pilot the purple Valvrave, but whatever. All in all, it was just so, so entertaining to watch this show every week. I wouldn't consider it "good" really in terms of plot or characters or whatever the fk MAL rates by, but there was so much fun in this. Oh yeah, and L-Elf will now be my husbando until the second half in autumn.

| Wasn't really looking forward to the second season, now I am pumped! Damn you Sunrise Inc. Not fair! But my overall impression of the anime changed not much. So despite an intriguing ending before the second season, I will give this a 7/10. |

Well, if you read the manga in a batch the pacing is however fast you want it to be, compared to the anime which artificially dragged the story out by including a recap before every episode as well as some original fillers to draw things out so they can end the arc on episode 13. Anyways, I'd give Season 1 a 666/10. |

| Say what you will but i like Valvrave just for how crazy it is for purely entertainment it's up there with like GC while everything is uh..debatable right now. but talk about an wild episode things that caught my eye Kid at the start Looking like l-elf Akira being the pilot of the purple valvrave ! Cain being all glowy and shit and his angry AI hyped for Season 2 after seeing that preview lol. |
