I'm in for the yuri. They'd better not put any male MC in it.

I hope it succeeds, so more entertaining anime like this get animated.

Your favorite anime are not even that good (except for madoka).

Entertaining is subjective, the fact that this is garbage is objective

Most of the yuri fans Ive seen are really into the romance aspect, actually, but I'm probably just on the right sites for that.

Like me...I'm really hoping that Cross Ange has some influence in the future of anime to improve the yuri romance with lots of canon.

I hope Valkyrie Drive is at least better than Cross Ange. Cross Ange is pretty horrible.

This looks terrible
If this succeeds chances are higher that more garbage like this gets animated
Hoping it flops... even knowing the power of guillible pubert japanese teenagers

Wow, there are men who like to fetishize gay women?! I had no idea!
/sarcasm.

These men are an obvious minority out of male otaku, thus why most yuri shows aimed at men have flopped.

Judging by the PV, there may be some real romance in there but yeah, I'm not holding my breath.

But well, even if Valkyrie Drive is going to really suck, I'll take bad yuri anime over another worthless harem any day of the week. It's gonna be a long time until someone is going to adapt a Shuninta or Takemiya manga into anime so we gotta do with what we get, I guess.

It's a Takaki made series if you want good story you need to play the game on the Vita. The games are better than the anime.

Yuri soul eater?... what the hell is this... ugh I'll pass.

It LOOKS amazing. It LOOKS like it has everything I could ever want: good art, awesome ost, hot girls, big ass lewd tits, yuri, yuri that turns girls into badass weapons, cool fight scenes.

But then I see it's being done by ARMS.......Now all of my hopes and dreams are crushed and set to incredibly low standards.

10/10 AOTY, 7/7 Asses, Anime of the Decade. Move aside Fate, Monster, Bebop, etc. Best anime all-time.

This looks like a train wreck. I like girly action anime, so I'll give it a try, but my expectations are pretty low.

There are plenty of male yuri shippers, I've seen lots of Senran Kagura yuri my favorite is a pic of Yomi and Minori having hot sex.
