| That was reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy baddddddddddddddd. |
 |
| Interesting Story!!! Seems to be quite appealing for a first episode. A lot was quite packed in but I'm hoping for some background information as it just seems everything is all over the place. That ending scene also surprised me a little but somehow saw it coming for some reason. Looking forward to next episode!! 5/5 |

| Animation is okay. MC's VA does a half-ass job of showing emotion. Thought that part made the MC look SOO stupid. He's getting beat up by a lesser mecha, his screen CLEARLY shows the menu above yet refuses to look/read at screen. Finally, like a person who's played Pokemon for about an hour on the toilet, only to find out that his crap is flaky and dried, he looks at screen after taking unnecessary blows, presses, miraculously, the correct button. Made him seem like ignorant faggot. Another issue was that ending. Good to have twists and all but what the flying fuck was this.... Totally blew it for a first episode. |
 |
| With the way the episode ended, I can't wait to see where this goes. It was a solid first episode. On another note, TM Revolution X Nana Mizuki = Me puking rainbows and my ears bleeding marshmallows. Can't wait till the full version is released on the Ides of May. :) |

Hypothetically speaking, a war was shoved onto your face from nowhere, you just broke your arm from an explosion, your girlfriend just died instantaneously, you are full of anger, grief and a torrent of emotions, your heart beat is running berserk and you are breathing erratically from the adrenaline and exertion from running and climbing. Now, you are in a cockpit of a god knows what weapon of mass destruction, faced with a mess load of controls. To top it off, a giant robot is smashing on your door, throwing you around the cockpit, accumulating more bruises. Now, how much different from haruto will you be acting I wonder. I don’t know about you, but I would be confused and wondering why is it asking me to give up my humanity. you are a machine right? stop throwing me stupid questions and move already! |
lalomartins said: Next epi is almost here and we're still chatting and speculating :-) I guess this series made an impact. Should we start taking bets on whether Shoko is on ep. 2? And whether there's any supernatural element or just plain sci-fi? And whether the MC is going to find he's now government property? My guess is that Shoko wont appear until later in the series. i dont think there would be any point in "Killing" her the first episode and bringing her back the next. |
| It was an awesome 1st episode I really hope this'll be a great show and I wanna see shouko again ;n; maybe the pace was really fast for any character development but I really like shokoxharuto with only minutes of watching it. wow it made me felt a lot of excitement for only 24 minutes ^^ |
Kaioshin_Sama said: There's that buzzword again. It's almost robotic or like a mantra or something. Like almost the exact same type of sentence word for word that neither accurately describes nor contributes anything to the discussion about a show. Where do they find you people besides /m anyway? I can't even tell if you agree with me or not. It contributes way more than your ramblings about other people. Face it, what I said is the truth. Whether it matters to you or not is another deal. It just has too many things to be taken seriously:boobs, schools, comedy, murder, romance and mecha action all in one episode. It would take a lot of effort to handle all this in a dignified way. If you really have no care for things like proper drama build-up and cinematographical techniques, or alternatively just watch it to mock it, then enjoy the ride. The actual plot matters only if all the basic elements support it and don't jump on your face the whole time. |
| "YES or NO" ahahahahaha LOL |

ZtarWarrior said: Aw, they killed off the best character in the show so soon. Hope she comes back somehow... :/  |
 |
| Whoa, this was standard stuff for me at the start, then the girlfriend got killed which made it good. Then the last 2 minutes happened. That was wicked. |
 |
| Wow, didn't expect this to be that good. I really enjoyed it. All I could think about while watching this was how similar it felt to Guilty Crown in terms of general WTF-shenanigans. Highly enjoyable, following this up with the second episode was a bit disappointing for me though after... nah, I won't mention it. Spoilers and everything. lol |
Wasabi said: THIS! DAFUQQQQQQQUhhhh so he became a vampire because a mech told him to stop being human? Dafuq did I just watch. |
 |
| Holy ***** that ending... |
 |
| WTH that ending! Mechs + Vampires=??? |
| Holy shit that ending was so full of WTF.. definitely left me wanting the 2nd episode ASAP! |
| Ah, it may take a while for me to like the MC if he keeps his original attitude longer. Took him so long to answer the damn question. The instructions were written right there in front of him! Granted, it was a difficult question - but if he truly wanted revenge at any cost, there'd be only two choices to make. Step up or give up and go home. What was the point of climbing up there against the advice of his friends if he loses his nerve to finish what he started? He ends up "signing the contract", anyway. I'll wait a few more episodes to see if his main love interest is really dead. She came close to being a likable character for me, but ends up apparently getting killed off before she gets developed any further. |
| Entertaining so far. Although I thought the incident with Shouko was a little forced. I'll believe it when I see it. I was starting to like her too. I'm surprised at how much of the ep took place outside of the mechs and even in a normal-looking school but the battle scenes were also great to watch. I just wished he answered the question to start the Valvrave sooner, couldn't he see that?! Pretty brutal cliffhanger, the army guy knows how kill swiftly, except for that fact that he didn't aim for head as well. Tut tut. Overall, much more entertaining than expected. |
| I cringed many times during this first episode.. Were we suppose to care when Shoko was blast away or when the MC was stabbed? I mean there was no character development at all so who gives a f.. Also, the events are predictable and the MC emotional scenes reminded me a bit too much of Shu in Guilty Crown (especially when Hare dies). Oh no my woman is dead, I'll go on a rampage using things I've never used before. |
 |
| Another anime with an uber irritating male lead. WTF would it take for Japan to actually make an anime with a competent fucking MC???? All in all, it was an ok-ish first episode. I came to this to watch the mecha action scenes and nothing more. Not expecting anything higher than a 3 for this anime as I was already fast forwarding every time the MC went beta fag mode. Episode Naxcore: 2.71 out of 5 |
  |
| I don't care for the protagonist in this one, but I enjoy alot of the animation and the vampire like ability he had the end. The OP is really good though. Will watch more of this series. |
bubbleboy352 said: did anyone else hear fullmetal alchemist brotherhood music when the enemies attacked? very similar to the homonculous theme, i believe pardon me, not the homunculous theme, its 'knives and shadows' i'm thinking of. seriously, it's so similar. |
| the masochist says "hurt me! hurt me!" the sadist replies "no" |
| kinda like how they killed the main heroine right at the beggining hopefully the protag grows more and most likely |
| Well fuck, there goes Shoko. And she wasn't even annoying. Well i guess the MC needed the motivation with how much of a sharing guy he is. She could still be alive though, since such shows aren't exactly shy of using miraculus survivals. Better than the whole Prince thing really. Also i liked the whole "stop being human" aspect(didn't expect he will turn into a freaking vampire but ok) since at least this make a decent excuse on how an untrained young boy can operate a super mech unlike the usual trope than he "just can" because his the main. Now lets see where it goes. |
| Not great but I will probably try out another episode. None of the characters, with the exception of Shouko are very likeable. Haruto's friends' zeal to get him to forget about Shouko near the end drops them all down in my opinion. The whole social media thing is irritating. Only sort of interesting character other than Shouko is Elf, who at least seems to take his mission seriously. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
VioLink said: Wow that was a great first episode. MC is pretty beast, literally. Overall I think the CGI mecha fight was well done.  Lol. |

TheUnholy said: Okey so I was a little quick to judge, but that doesn't change the fact that the first episode was weak on it's own and I still think it was underwhelming. So scram!, go watch Neon Genesis Evangelion or Code Geass instead!, just kidding, I will admit I was dead wrong for once :P This show has great potential, give the two first episodes a watch and see if you like it or not! I sure as heck will keep watching it now and have learned my lesson ^^ Never judge a book by it's cover. lol |

| Opening blurb is such a rip off of gundam seed opening blurb. lmao. |
     |
| I was thinking of dropping this anime because it kinda bored me (although I did find Shoko and Haruto's relationship adorable) and the fact that they killed Shoko before Haruto could even tell her his feelings, but I guess I'll stay for the mecha action and the cool storyline (human resignation thinf). And for the hope that Shoko is still alive. |

|
| That ending. Well, I love it so far. On to episode two... |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| Oh god, just so much Gundam seed,,, just more realistic somehow,, Finally a worthy mecha anime to watch x__x first ep impression: 9/10 |
| This was pretty bad. |
 |
| Holy shit! I was NOT expecting that ending! Has the Valvrave turned him into a vampire? Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| This is like Gundam Seed? Bah, I keep finding more reasons to not watch Gundam Seed. Anything mentioned alongside Wing has to be beyond awful. I don't know how motivated I am to continue watching this. Mecha, vampires, and dumb fanservice, really? I'm doubtful of how cool the mecha are even going to be. Pssh, Sunrise, don't waste your money on whatever Valvrave is and pour more into Unicorn.<3 At least the money's doing something. The artwork is so beautiful and clear. I love all the colors and shading. I'll keep watching to at least see how bad it gets~ Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, even. |
 |
| If this is going to be as big of a shitfest as I'm expecting it to be, then I'm ready for it. |
 |
| Some really nice development for a first episode, already a character dying and well some great Mech action! I do wonder what that "Do you want to resign being human" is all about, did he just became a immortal vampire!? Either way lets see what this story has to offer us! |
 |
| So epic. I'll be watching, though, and am not particularly a fan of the mecha. |
| This anime is similar to Gundam, I haven't seen an anime like that for a long time. I am very excited and started it just to be ready for season 2 xD |
