Crazy season... 2 months ago there was hardly any anime serie worth watching only 2-3 for me. In the last 1-2 Weeks there started tons of series...
Interestingly this serie in comparison with Gargantia i've watch, the other serie startet with a galactic war then got "downgraded" to stranded back to earth with action, slice of life. Valvrare started "low" with shonen high school life (love drama?) then will be expanded to probably intergalactic war between superpowers... ps: way to start a serie with the girl the MC likes dying! |

Meh
I was pretty enthralled by Code Geass whereas this was the definition of meh. Pretty sad that the best mecha show of the season is probably the show which isn't really a mecha title. I hope this and MJP (haven't seen the second episode) step their shit up, they just feel off at the moment. I'll honestly take Date A Live over both of them at the moment and fark me sideways and call me sally, I never thought I would say that before this season started. Music was very underwhelming and disappointing as well. |

Glad to hear this is split cour. I was really worried about this being one cour, given what happened with Sacred Seven, but since this is two cour I'll give it a try without any reservations.
I'm inclined to say the same, but I've been fooled before. I've had seasons, particularly in the Spring and Fall, where it feels like I start watching 10 shows that all have potential then as it goes on that dwindles down to 3-5 at best. I'm expecting the same to happen this season.

Depends. Are you okay with being preached? Because that's what they are doing. "Here is your fan service, cool fight scenes and drama. Are you happy now? Isn't that why you are here?" In a "Gladiators" movie style of confrontation.
Normally all three things are spaced out, sometimes given their own episodes. VVV is deliberately putting them together, so you don't know if you are suppose to be turned on, excited, or sad.

German terms for the baddies is a time honored tradition in anime, as well as over analyzing light-hearted anime that isn't trying to make any serious social/artistic statements.

Mainly the part with an immortal that can quickly revive from a fatal gunshot, and the whole school setting.
Code Geass was also kind of Gundam-esque - a masked former price seeking revenge, but that prototype white mecha keep standing in his way. |

Well, after a long winter we're finally getting perhaps the first buds of a Mecha spring. By my count we have 3 mecha shows this season, which hasn't happened in a few years (I think 2009, maybe even 08). Hopefully at least one of these shows will turn out well. I have high hopes for Valvrave and Gargantia. First episode of Valvrave was a bit formula, but I was quite entertained, so if they manage to keep things going, I'll be satisfied.
What I find most promising about this recent batch of mecha shows is that they seem to be eschewing the recent trend for "superhero mecha anime", where the show pretty much follows the superhero or Shonen formula, and not mecha. They're mecha in appearance, but not in their soul. |

No, I don't get it. You are seriously calling Twilight a representative franchise for vampirisim. And you are not the only one. A novel about a horny girl deciding which boy she wants to sleep with is now what vampires are about?
