LOL This series is hilarious in its own right. It has borrowed so many elements from so many shows, it's hard not to find it funny at times. The Voltron keys, Star Driver transformation, Lyrical Nanoha weapons and tech, Evangelion monsters, Infinite Stratos armor, and Xenosaga's Kos Mos, just to name a few. There is also some Sailor Moon and Power Rangers, which generally covers everything. I'm not sure where they are going with the characterization, since it reminds me a lot of Rinne no Lagrange. Of course, we cannot forget to mention the poses of the Strike Witches characters either.
Well, I'll see where this series goes. For now, it's a lot of fun. It could be making fun of itself, but I'm not sure if that is intentional.

VROOM 02 - Isshiki Academy Z-Cune Aoi
I'm (unironically) enjoying this, though the exposition phase took a while to get going. I do understand why they're there, but the amount of screentime with the military stuff compared to Akane and Aoi's fights when they were going solo was a little unbalanced, I felt. I'm watching this because it's going with the magical-girls-as-superheroes, but any show is bound to have one or two elements that don't work for me. That's part of the game. Once the Docking happened and Akane and Aoi's fused form took over the battle, as brief as it was, that's when I was really into things. The whole thing reminded me of the Unison Devices from Nanoha, along with a few other things, but the show's done enough to create its own identity. Otherwise, I like this series for the same reason I liked Lagrange. Yuri, comedy, magical girls (or in Lagrange's case, mecha)... nearly all my favorite elements in one place. That VRO looks to be building a Sentai team out of them is even better, and I'm fully expecting Rei to be the AbareKiller of the team. So, overall, one of my top three shows of the season. (The others are Senran Kagura and GJ Bu. It's a refined palette.) |

Why? How could you! So mean you are supposed to sugar coat it, you are supposed to lie to me and say "Oh yeah, they're in high school in your dreams, hentai. They are of legal age for you to looky but no touchy."
But they are in high school! I have proof! Case study #1: Akane's wheel-less bike There's no way a child can ride such a thing. I have deduced that since it is not a bike, and that it does not touch the ground, it's not a drivers license she needs to operate it, she needs a lot of paperwork like FAA clearance, a license to fly, approval from ground control, an approved transponder code etc. No middle schooler can obtain such privileges! Case study #2: Das Boobs The vivid yellow girl has boobs. Look at that bounce! There's no way a child can have such a rack! It's not possible! Quote:

/tomato So I thought I'd add to the speculation about what the combo's would be. Keep in mind I have predicted before and much of it came true, but I'm going into this half jokingly so if any of it does come true, don't kick me Supposing Vivid Green Ponytail and Vivid Yellow Boobs merge, I strongly believe Ponytail would be the host, and Boobs will be the "armor" so to say. That's not to say I support the ditzy girl in being weaker, but rather this is similar to Aoi and Akane. Of course, they may surprise us in making Vivid Yellow the host, as lately in anime/manga one should never underestimate the quiet girl as they can be quite boisterous -I'm merely basing this on the fact that Vivid Ponytail is a sword user, and who wouldn't want to see her wielding a giant sword -Now, one thing I did consider, is that Vivid Yellow looks to be using some sort of smart weapon, perhaps shes the projectile class of Vivid girls and supposing she becomes the host, I would love to see her pull out a giant gun -But let's suppose we follow a pattern, the girl who becomes the armor is also the weapon, so if Vivid Ponytail becomes the host she won't be pulling out a giant sword. Hmm.... That's it for now, I just wanted to write something to tire myself to sleep low brain cell question: what are the names of green ponytail and yellow boobs? I'm not too pleased with referring to them via their traits, and yes I somehow don't feel like looking searching finding |

I would think of devising a simple table:
Code:
R-B-G-Y R-X-*-*-* B-*-X-*-* G-*-*-X-* Y-*-*-*-X Red/Blue (current VividBlue) Red/Green Red/Yellow and so on... But then color rules may be implemented- so we need to think about that as well. Red and Blue are complimentary.

This isn't taking into account the possibility that more than one of them can fuse at a time (like an RGB trio), or that Rei may possibly be getting powers of her own. She's designed like a main character, and she was beside Akane on the very first key visual.

I just thought of something stupid.. I blame mangatron for this thought. But with how yellow was moving her hands symbolizing her weapon in the opening. I instantly related that to her enormous size for her age. Gravity!!
I have no idea why I even thought of this...

I think each girl is only going to have one partner, since one of the requirement of the fusion is to be very close. It's unlikely Akane and Aoi are going to be able to fuse with the other two girls, as it would sort of "cheapen" their friendship. Furthermore, the fusion is a rather intimate process (their memories flow into each other) so I would think they would be reluctant to fuse with somebody they don't know perfectly. Now that I think about it, the fusion is probably more intimate than sex, which just makes this show all the more yuri-ish.
So basically: Akane x Aoi = Vivid red and Vivid blue, depending on who's "on top" Yellow and green = Vivid yellow and Vivid green Black might be thrown in the mix at some point.

Akane seems like the kind of person who could make friends with anybody, so I'm not ruling out the possibility of other fusions. I don't think it would necessarily cheapen their friendship. I'm imagining this final battle where Akane fuses with Aoi, and then separates, passing off to Wakaba, then Himawari (and finally Rei?), form-spamming in rapid succession while also demonstrating the power of yuri friendship.
