So L-Elf likes to watch, huh?

Well, we'll see if this anime manages to defy expectations and that Saki and Haruto will have done more than just kissing. But common anime main protagonist purity laws probably will prevent that.

I like her, too, but she's the type of character that gets a lot of hate. :/ (I'll never understand why.)

It's for fun.

In any case, something big might happen in episode 7 for them to change the ED. I am just assuming the worst possible outcome.

How about Kira from GS.

Well, this anime manages to defy expectations week after week, so I'm hopeful. I'd really like to see something else than just the typical love triangle, where the guy in the middle can't decide what to do. I'd really like it if Saki had taken that decision right out of his hand with this. ^^

Plus Angela, Elisa, and all those star VAs. 6600 yen itself is expensive.
I'm actually surprised. 6600+ yen is cheap for this line up. Consider Animelo costs 8k+ and the standard AFA concert in south east Asia costs....~9000 plus yen

Although admittedly, one has to factor in BD cost.

Of course I do....years before this show aired.

Not invite dead characters VA probably one of their effort to keep the cost "just" on 6600 yen. They have star-studded VAs for this show. Plus turns out that the tickets are limited, you only get it for sure when you buy BR/DVD. So it's not just 6600 yen after all.

Speaking about BD, here the boxset for vol.1, feature art by original character designer Katsura Hoshino (D Gray Man):

Well as a fellow who understand bit Japanese, I can assure you that Shoko is, at least until now, well-liked in Japan. In fact, she's among the top list of favorite Spring anime's heroines beside Tsukiko, Chiho, Mikasa, Yui. They even set an uproar just because her VA isn't in event's attendance list

Not a definite prove obviously, but here some of Japanese polls for Spring anime girls characters:

Is this another sunrise series made just to sell merchandise and other paraphernalia? They are kind of pushing it, in recent years.
Sure you can make a lot of money selling toys and other stuff, by using an anime series as a promotional tool, but it doesn't mean that series needs to be bad.

Yup, call me tedious but this pic, as pretty as it is, clearly isn't a good premonition for Shoko. She def. looks like a ghost/soul At least I can prepare my heart if they'll really kill her later.


And while we're at it, I just bought new Animedia mag. Very complete dive into VVV's world, plenty new informations and pretty illustrations, if anyone interested:

Eh. I wouldn't jump into any conclusions just yet. She's looking way too happy to be a ghost and if anything it's just an excuse to show her naked. From what we've seen so far with Valvrave is that we will be trolled hard and almost all our predictions will be wrong.

But that doesn't mean we still can't have fun trying to guess things!

Erementar gelade eh ... well but shoko is human, so i think death flag is more plausible.
I have a new theory regarding VVV pilots as:
Spoiler for pilots:

Though i said that, i still weighing with the idea Saki being the next pilot seeing the next episode have her as centric character.

Wild Speculation - In an effort to stop one of L-Elf's plots, Shouko somehow gets absorbed into Haruto's Valvrave. She literally becomes one with the Valvrave (so that Elemental Gelade comparison may be an apt one ).

Haruto goes all "I must avenge Shouko!" again, and so he gets into his Valvrave, preparing to kick serious Dorssia ass. Then as he's tearing up, Shouko appears to him in ethereal form, wrapping those glowing ghostly arms around him, saying "It's Ok. I'm here with you, Haruto!"

Haruto's tears of sadness turns to tears of joy, as he's so relieved to discover that Shouko is still alive... albeit as 'the spirit' of his Valvrave!

"Let us save JIOR... together!" Shouko says.

"Right!" a choked-up and inspired Haruto replies, as he rides Shouko (i.e. his Valvrave) off into space, to combat the Dorssian army.


If the speculation holds true, Shouko may or may not turn back into a normal girl through some elaborate plot device at the end of the series (given the tone of this series, I'm guessing she will turn back into a normal girl at some point, if the speculation holds true).

I never watched Kurogane No LineBarrel so I wasn't aware of that.

Still, that Elisa pic that vanca brought up certainly is suggestive. It would be pretty red herring-esque if nothing unusual happens to Shouko (and/or if she doesn't die).

Just checked up any VVV's related news/reactions from Japan and pretty much 90% of them now sure Shoko gonna die Can't blame them really, her VA missing in upcoming event's attendance list + this Elisa cover, all in one day. Not to mention the pilling of all her death flags before, pretty much finally makes even the cynical ones convinced.

Yup, that's Linebarrel-esque. But with that title song Soba ni Iru yo + her transparent appearance beside him, Triple_R scenario is a given
