Poor Shoko is going to get hit hard in the next episode, from what we saw in the previews, as I see Saki parading their coupling together and Haruto failing to convince her of anything.

Than we can finally begin some real L-Elf and Shoko interactions!
Too bad then, I was for having the kiss on the internet for instant money.

Haruto was complaining that they were back at just being friend and now Saki is going on the offensive...
Yeah, I guess L-Elf couldn`t ask for a better setup.

Module 77 was having a nice independence!
They were basically enjoying themselves to the max.
Relaxing a bit too much at times...
Well, problems were bound to appear sooner or later.
Their reckless behavior was bound to produce a few system failures.
The song was nice & motivational ^^

Hopefully Saki will stay on the offensive and this won't end up as with a conclusion of Haruto x Shouko. I am never fond of anime pairings that liked each other before the series even started. They tend to be always the most boring development between the two characters.

Not true. Zegapain.

Though I guess you could say Shizuno died in a way. But not dead dead.

You know what? Screw Haruto and Er-erfu, this show should be about Shoko and Saki. They are by far the best characters in the entire damn show!

Horrible design decisions are par of the course for Sci-f, but... seriously? Big red button over an bottomless chasm? Was the Sphere designed by former platform games designer?

Highlight of the episode was the blonde getting slapped. That felt so satisfying.

A goddamn music video, this is beyond hilarious. This show is great!

Not like they particularly hid it or anything but, yay more Valvraves! Taking bets on who gets what colour.

But you have to admit, in most of Sunrise's mainstream mecha series, it's almost inevitable that a love interest and/or friend of the MC dies tragically.

In the more serious ones, sure. But Valvrave seems all too much like this is one of Sunrise's less-seriously-taken titles , so I don't think we're going to be getting much dark stuff in this one.

If this were dark, we'd have seen civilians dying left and right back in the opening attack of episode 1 instead of after-the-fact, like we did in the opening attack of Gundam F-91. And that one still ended happily for everybody. (even in the Crossbone Gundam manga, which concluded the story Yoshiyuki Tomino didn't get to tell because F-91 was cut down from a series to a 2-hour movie) And certainly we can agree that recent events in Valvrave have been leaning a bit more towards the less-serious side of things.

Heck, Infinite Ryvius got really, really dark, and even then, not one named good guy character died.

How freaking big is that school? Those students practically have an entire freaking city to themselves? What gives? Well whatever, I guess I must have missed something.

In any case it was actually a pretty nice episode that showed the students having to actually struggle, although it would've been a bit better if the whole thing wasn't just a matter of pushing a freaking button.

Hate that stupid song though. It's just as cringeworthy as "Friday" by Rebecca Black. XP

If anyone dies, I'm afraid it'll be Saki. There's this... recklessness in her that seems almost suicidal.

Of course if anyone should it's L-elf.

The way I think it went was that most of the module is dedicated to the school but it was also surrounded by a city. When Dorssia invaded, they deported all those from the city and I'm guessing they were getting to the school last since that was where all the Valvrave tech was and so they would have gone over that with a fine-tooth comb.

So when Dorssia left once the ARUS showed up, all that was left was the students and two teachers.

Yes. L-Elf needs to make Shoko his and when she isn't looking he must do a "Just as planned" grin.

I like Haruto and Shouko together because they have chemistry and they're cute together, and I like seeing cute characters getting a happy end together.

But let's face it: Haruto and L-Elf are meant to be. The women around them (and A-Drei, the vengeful ex) may distract them for a while, but in the end they'll realize that they belong together.

Spoiler:


As some may have already speculated, this is probably Saki in Haruto's body planning to harass the blonde

Nothing says that L-Elf cannot change his mind and decide to share after all.

-

Didn't think of that. It could be Saki stealing Haruto's body or Haruto just feeling the "swag" factor because he "got with" Saki.

For some reason I bursted into laugh reading this. This one will never disappear huh.

O/T. When will this get a subforum? There are many interesting topics to discuss. Space Vampire, DORSIA vs ARUS status, Love-Triangle, the Valvrave itself and it's other modes or mechs or whatever those were at the end of EP05.

I knew Saki was the best. But this ep pretty much solidified and bolted it down to the ground. And rofl at Valvrave-tan.

I agree with Valvrave having its own subforum.

There needs to be character discussions along with OP/ED too.

She's genre savvy, level-headed, has a sweet giggle, and loves slapping people.
