Some stills for episode 3 from Dengeki.
http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/585/585163/ Nothing too special. Akane is wearing a visor for some reason though! Edit: Oh wait, it also mentions that the website has the episode 3 preview up. http://www.vividred.net/next/03.html Last edited by OceanBlue; 2013-01-22 at 06:36. Reason: . |

At this stage I will be pretty surprised if Vivid Red becomes a bigger or longer-lasting franchise than Strike Witches. On the other hand I do think it might be plausible if Vivid Red sells more BD disks; overall, I kind of like Vividred's atmosphere better and the art/presentation is much more impressive/polished. Basically, I do feel that in a lot of ways Vivid Red is a very much new and improved Strike Witches, but in the end the world and history of Strike Witches still makes the original a deeper and longer-lasting product. |

Military otaku and I will always have some disagreements, so the more superheroic aspects of this series are what's currently giving it an edge over Strike Witches for me. I like my technology like I like my anime girls - fictional and quirky.

And while Strike Witches fight to eradicate invaders, at the moment Vivid Red Butt seems like the Alone just want to eat the Engine. Surely, that can't be the only reason, and I sure am interested in what the creator has in store for any deeper story, but yeah it does not seem too deep (ATM) Aha! I knew I forgot to categorize it: you're right, this series does have that superheroic aspect to it, while Strike Witches are soldiers representing their respective countries, Vivid Red Butt features an old man granting his grand daughter powers to save the day |

I'll throw in the dissenting opinion and say that i'm quite charmed by the story, I like my Magical Girls techo based, and I like the random mecha... but oh the fanservice!
Does it need to be so blatant? Another potentially charming show that I can't let anybody see me watching because any reasonable person will assume you're a pervert! Girls und Panzer and Nanoha win on these counts for me.

Vivid Red's fascination with the butt shot still pales in comparison to things we saw during the action-sequence introduction in the first five minutes of Strike Witches.
On the other hand, VR will apparently have a lot more docking. That said, it's still too early for me to make any particularly deep comparison between the series; SW was a lot more episodic, VR looks like more of a serial (so far, with only two episodes to go on). Tied into that, SW had more characters, though not a huge amount of development beyond the mains. VR should have deeper character arcs with its so-far smaller cast. |

So that leaves butt fans, military otaku (fighter jets, destroyer ships) and magical girls fans (even though they're rather "scientific" than "magical" girls here )

Red: Blue and Black Blue: Red and Green Green: Yellow and Blue Yellow: Green and Black Black: Yellow and Red Obviously this is speculation, but it might make more sense for two potential super combos to be on the battlefield at once. |
