Valvrave the Liberator - General Anime Discussion

[Aquaman OS]

.....wow.

I was expecting at least a few episodes before she turned up again.

[MisaoFan]

Spoiler for Episode 2:

This new episode looks very awesome. It has great battles and the politic conflicts are pretty well handled although we don't learn much of it yet. I'm totally surprised that Shouko is alive, I died in happiness that I thought she is still alive even when she's supposed to be dead in the first episode. There's also a small mindswapping part at the beggining between Haruto and L-Elf, and the latter's betrayal with Dorshia looks great even though I'm expecting him to be angry over Haruto. I find it funny that the moment Valvrave goes berserk, it's trying to overpower the other foes as if he was committing suicide. The new girl named Saki was beautiful and even when she's hanging Haruto, I'm not considering her to be a potential love interest yet. The political struggle will continue in the next episode anyways, and although the ending theme looks good in every aspects, I'm not liking the lacking black background, so I'm hoping Sunrise to fix them in BD/DVDs.

Yep, it’s confirmed. Shoko is the daughter of Mu La Flaga.

So the ED hints that all the Valvraves are actually the same unit extensively reassembled?

Like a mode change; I was actually wondering if that was the case, because it looked like those other bad guys are actually piloting those big white mobile armor-esque things in the OP.

What did, you ask?

Spoiler for Episode 2:

Proof that SHE'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!

Spoiler for Saving a little space:

Love triangle, GO!!!

Though since Haruto and Shouko are all but officially a couple after that scene last episode (Shouko clearly knew exactly what he was gonna say), I'm not sure what chance Saki has, unless the whole suggesting the love triangle was a big fake out.

I do find it odd that Shouko apparently got out of that without a scratch, though...........

see, just like I said

best twist ever, more asami seto :3

[kobester11]

Spoiler for Episode 2:

How did she get a signal?

Well, good ep overall. "I can't love her because I'm a monster" is annoying though...

[Duo Maxwell]

Okay, I don't know what is what anymore . The internet's reaction is hilarious.

[@GEMC]

Aww I really want to watch it now but I can´t find raw version

[konart]

Spoiler for Ep2:

[Cirno]

Spoiler for 2:

ERU EFUUEEEEEEEEEEFFFFHGHGHGG
We got a raging ex boyfriend in this episode

As expected from Sunrise, Shoko's alive. Congrats to Shinji103 for having a faith in Sunrise!

I feel sorry for Eru-Erufu, he's Haruto's bitch minion sidekick now.

A harakiri mecha!? God Modoo Gundam!? Now I believe this show features super robot element. Can't wait to see the other forms.

Damnit Haruto, you missed your chance to get a girl, TWICE! Now you just went full Sayaka this episode. I hope you drown in your unrequited love and die become a witch!

Haruto's theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcgEHrwdSO4

Pretty amazing episode, this anime has the potential to become the best anime of the season for me.

Nah, she's the daughter of Patrick Colasour.

[Key Board]

at this rate I am expecting time travel and dragons

..

[kuromitsu]

Well, if these two episodes are any indication, this show definitely won't be boring... XDDDD

Spoiler for ep 2:

Where to start??!

1) Poor L-Elf. All he was trying to do is serve his country, and he had an immaculate record, but now he's a traitor and his once-comrades are trying to kill him because of something he didn't even do. XD;;

2) These mecha fights are going to be awesome. HARAKIRI? This is almost Aquarion level. XDDD (Has someone found Kawamori's hidden stash of "good stuff"?)

By the way, the girl at the end of the ED seems to be Valvrave's spirit form or something like that - someone has been watching Infinite Ryvius, huh.

3) Haruto is already my favorite, though I'm sure he'll be universally hated before this episode is even over. XD;; Still, though, think about it.

-Finally works up the courage to confess to the girl he loves.
-Girl dies in enemy attack.
-"THEY TOOK MY LOVE AWAY. FOR THIS THEY MUST SUFFER." REVENGE TIME!!1!1
-*emotionally dead cold-blooded killer mode on* *kills a lot*
-"Dude, you're scaring us." - by friends
-Oops, Shouko is alive! *emotionally dead cold-blooded killer mode off*
-(In the meanwhile, idol girl keeps throwing herself at him, but he brushes her off coldly.)
-"FYI you're a monster." - by enemy
-*self-hating angsty mode on* "OH NO I DON'T DESERVE HER!"

And this is just the first two episodes!! XDDD

Spoiler for my predictions for future storylines:

Haruto will distance himself from Shouko because omg he's such a monster, and eventually start going out with Saki (they have to have a love triangle somewhere), but he still loves Shouko and it will end up in an ugly mess. Also, the thread will drown in flames and ship wars.

I take this show as "It's so bad that it's good"?

MC moping like Sayaka sure got me cracking up.

Quoted for TRUTH

Spoiler for Episode 2:

Episode 2 was WAY better than the first, if only because it's so damn entertaining with all the WTF going. The most hilarious part though was Haruto turning L-Elf into a traitor through bodyswap shenanigans. There's ruining your sworn enemy/rival's life, and then there's this level of unintentional douchebaggery. Bravo

And Shoko is alive, who'd have thought

Also, for those who haven't heard, Valverave is getting High-Grade 1/144 plamo from Bandai, with the first two Valverave models announced:



Ditto about the show, but the Valverave itself, both as a kit, and in action is pretty sweet

Well.. At least it won't make this threat boring to read. Ship wars always crack me up.

About the show itself. Well 2 episodes in and I still don't really know what to think about it. It seems crazy and stuff and I will probably continue to watch it. Thing for me is I watch all shows with "brain-off" mode so usually what I do watch is entertaining for even if it becomes train wreck ( Guilty Crown is probably the most accurate example.).
About mecha itself. Wow, just wow. Really an awesome piece of work, kudos to designer.

Spoiler for about mech:

It also seems from ED that all those Valvrave's are actually one mecha with inter switchable parts

@LoweGear lol that poster. "Roll out" just tinged Transformers vibe into me

I don't think it's bad... but I think that so far it's immensely entertaining. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be taken very seriously.

Spoiler for ep 2:

Yeah, poor L-Elf. He kills Haruto who refuses to die and does horrible things while in L-Elf's body (and at one point he pretty much felt him/self up XDDD)... he pretty much ruined L-Elf's life. XDDD I wonder what he's going to do now...

Also, may I mention

Spoiler for ep 2:

that the body swap apparently works via love bites. Oh my god, the L-Elf x Haruto doujin/fanwork prospects are off the scale. XDD

Of course this is totally not intentional, nope, not at all... XD

So what you're saying is, it's Code Geass instead of Gundam.
