| Hmm... I guess to me there is not really a "proper development". If he veers off course because Shouko is so big in his mind and that is depicted convincingly, I would still call his character a "good character". I have yet to see anything more than pure speculations about Valvrave #2 or any side effect of being a "Magius" (this is the official word for the state of "vampire" after you got bitten by the system inside Valvrave). |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
symbv said: @FiveOVER This episode got thumbs-up by many viewers, including those who pooh-poohed the last 2 episodes !!! In particular, the vast majority of viewers gave high score for the Saki character, That's a relief. I hope Sunrise sees this as a sign of where to take the show. This episode was definitely MUCH better than the last episode, at least. (Plus, they kept the fan-service to a minimum. Good.) =_= Last episode reminded me of the ridiculous otaku fan service singing moe designed cartoons until the last few minutes, where it finally got serious. I played last episode entirely in mute without realizing they were going to sing. Well, I'm glad I did so. I can understand the power of being motivational, but I don't think I can deal with that kind of singing. I don't like Saki's selfishness, which is the show's intention, but I enjoyed her backstory scenes because it really showed how she became like that. Glad she isn't a brooding anti-social perfect character. (Not to mention, I really dislike Japan's idol industry.) I can see why she was the perfect candidate for the green mecha. Poor Haruto. :< It's a good thing Shoko isn't the jealous type. I can't stand love triangles. They drag a show/manga down in the story department (because they're so predictable and annoying). Now, the main juicy part is coming up. I hope we see more of L-11~!! Will he reveal his true colors to his former friend? Just what exactly is he planning in his little revolution? I can't wait to see more of HIS character development and backstory. *drools* |
 |
| ^ Hmm... I guess you may want to prepare for things you dislike or can't stand because I have a feeling that the idol part and triangle will make appearance later in the show. Fine for me because I LOVE Japanese idols and I expected triangles even before I started watching this show. |

| From the moment OP played I was looking forward to love triangle. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

Fine for me because I LOVE Japanese idols and I expected triangles even before I started watching this show. For a Sunrise show, I expect to see barely any love triangles. However, this isn't a Gundam and it has a high school setting with a lot of crazy silly students. If there is a love triangle, it better be short and sweet. =_= Love triangles really do drag a story (of any genre) down the tube. It's so tiresome to see people argue over other people's feelings. Fine if you enjoy these things, but for me, yeah... Just no. (And sorry, the Japanese idol system really makes me cringe.) Even if I dislike these things, I'll still keep watching Valvrave. :P No show is ever perfect to me (except for Fantastic Fantaastic Children. Heh). |

| Did anyone else see that character spread where Saki had a triangle with shots of the green valvrave beside her, L-Elf with an orange/yellow one, and A-Drei with a blue one? Urghghgh idk I am absolutely in love with Saki right now. She is the literal embodiment of the insanity that is Valvrave, and compensates nicely for the death of Senator Moses. That fight sequence with Carmilla at the end was also very nice to look at. Considering how she names her Valvrave after a lesbian vampire, I'm beginning to think the harem will actually be Saki > Shoko < Haruto instead of the Saki > Haruto < Shoko one that I initially expected. Since A-Drei is a Dorssian prince, I would imagine that he's connected to Liselotte somehow. I really don't care, I just want FukuJun to get some more opportunities to ham it up. Eagerly anticipating next episode. |

| Pretty good episode. Really liked the ost that played in the end. It really went well with the scene. |
 |
| Seriously Shokohaters are going full retard. |

With this it looks like Audrey gets Blue Lelf - Yellow (or Orange) and Aina - Purple So, the green triangle is solved. If baste is right, then, L-11 will definitely get his own...? Yellow, blue, purple.... Can't picture Aina in a purple, but anything can happen. I'd like to see the delinquent guy get his own. It would be cool to see his reaction. >D |

JeffreyZin said: Tyrel said: Comedy Gold. We need the comedy tag for this show. I don't get it. What's so funny about it anyway even though it's a 'serious' show? Dashiawia said: This. What's all THIS about, obviously? Since when that post become a trend on MAL? Does THIS mean he had a same thing as well? - OFF TOPIC I think the fact this is supposed to be a series show is the funniest thing about this anime. And if you don't see it... can't help you then, I guess? This means this. What's so uncomprehendable about that? Anyway... this anime. Lulz. That guy voiced by Jun Fukuyama had a nice line at the end. 'Eru erufu! For the sake of our frendship... die.' I must use this one oneday. |

I'm really hoping that's the case bec. the Saki > Haruto < Shoko setup is just really...bland. With Haruto at the center it feels like the triangle will go nowhere until the final few episodes, especially since he's made up his mind not to do anything at this point. At least if they're both going for Shoko, Haruto will be forced to step up his game-the times his character really shone for me was when he let go of his reluctance to compete and just went all out for victory like in ep1. As for the other half of the triangle, Saki x Shoko has more chemistry than Saki x Haruto imo. I can see Saki messing with Haruto just to get Shoko's attention lol. |

| Best episode yet, in my opinion. saki is pretty cool despite being manipulative,and I'm loving that Love's triangle With her,haruto and shoko.By the opening I can tell it's gonna have more 3 valvraves and a big one. I supose L-elf will control it.I'm certain shoko will be one of the pilots. |

At the end of the episode it showed A-Drei which he will sneak in and get control of the blue one, L-Elf will get the yellow/or gold and Aina Sakurai will be the last to get the purple one. So basically I think these characters will be the final pilots. It will most probably go in this order, I hope they enjoy their immortality while their other friends die of old age. Though I bet by the end of the series they will somehow turn human again. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| I used to be so excited over this show, but...but I dunno. I just can't seem to enjoy it like I used to. Hopefully the show becomes more interesting soon... u_u |
| ok episode |
 |
| Rukino's green Valvrave is pretty cool. It literally dances through space with those 'legs'.So she really wants to stand out and become famous, huh? A little bit too badly if you ask me. It looks like her parents really abused her when she was little, though. So we've got an infiltrator now eh? He'll be going after L-Elf. I wonder when we'll see the rest of the Valvraves like the blue, yellow and purple ones. |
 |
| damn that mecha is ugly. but has twitter incorporated into the system. fucking win |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| I'm starting to get tired of these students.. This show needs action more often. L-Elf should be the actual MC, not Haruto. OR should have the spotlight WAY more. I want a confrontation between L-Elf and A-Drei. |
| I've just gone and watched Start Trek Into Darkness... (don't open unless you've watched it or don't mind being spoiled) |

| This show is such a disappointment. It's very cliche and to me it's like a High School Musical mecha version. : However, the mecha action scenes are really entertaining. Rukino becomes a 'vampire' too and is able to control the Valvrave so easily. Lolwut. Don't really care about the main story to be honest... |
 |
| ^ At least the abundant use of plot twists can't be called "cliche" LOL And neither is the concept of the "vampire" pilots.. BTW it may feel like Highschool Musical if it is the previous episode you are talking... I wonder how this episode feels like that.... |

| I think their plot is a little similar to Last Exile2. I assume that Dorssia is operating under the name of the little girl with twin tail purple hair in the OP/ED while the one who holds true power is Cain. And L-elf is working under her to make an evolution to take power back from Cain. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I can't help cringing while watching this. How I wish they'd just tag it "comedy" and get it over with. |

| Whole lot of whining and making shit up to complain about goin' on in this thread. |
| Haruto notwithstanding, if Saki could pilot a Valvrave this well, then I can't wait to see how awesome it would be when L-Elf gets his own. |
| Yukino is getting on my freaking nerves >,> Overall it was a good episode since now they have 2nd Valvrave we'll probably see the rest in the next two episodes. From the episodes that have come out i feel like this series doesn't deserve all the hate it's been getting. Sure it's not perfect but it's certainly not a horrible anime as many make it out to be. |

| Now I dislike Saki, but obviously the best girl thread says otherwise. ROFL Anyway, I don't like this series as much anymore, but hopefully it will get better later or in the second season. |
 |
| Why does what Saki did in this episode automatically make her a bad irredeemable character and kill the entire season cold and dead? People are really not doing a very good job of explaining and justifying what they seem to want others to believe is a dire situation for the character and the show considering it's the first major focus episode we've had on her and there's sure to be more. |
| saki is completely mad the teacher is just being useless, although she has big tits...shes still useless with big tits vvv-tan is confirmed to be the best girl, although all she said was one sentence... |
| I don't know whether I like or hate Saki yet. But at least that Senator got what was coming to him. |

|
| This is THE episode that made me stick with this trainwreck. Watching for Saki's fabulous awesomeness is good enough. Seriously why is Saki NOT the main lead? Show would be thousand times better if she was. now if only mary sue shouko got a gruesome death, it would be even better |
