As a fellow American, I also wish you a happy Thanksgiving and I hope you spend a wonderful day with your family

Can't wait to see how the Kamitsuki will be exposed! Hopefully Saki will be rescued soon~

[_Misfit]

^Thanks! Same for you and your family as well.

It will be tough for Saki I'm sure, but like you, I'm hoping for the best. I do wonder how this whole 'exposed' thing will work out. It's hard to measure the scale of the exposure. Will it be made known all through out Earth and Space? Or only to a select few. This episode cannot come soon enough!

[Irenesharda]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful one.

I am excited for this episode and am trying to decide whether I should squeeze in watching it between holiday preparations or just wait till after dinner.

Well, VVV has always been a night ritual for me, so I'll probably wait till my normal time.

[hayate-sama]

Valvrave twited that this episode will have the cameo of characters from Valvrave undertaker.

Hmph, they're just doing that to make their "spin-off" less irrelevant than it already is.
They wait until now to show them, even in cameo? What, they'll show them in the crowd for a second?

[NeutralZero]

in this ep, really really really hope that they stop putting Saki in all of those crappy situation...
who ever ship they're going for be damn
at least have Saki be safe first...
all those drama can follow after securing her...

[finalfury]

Happy Thanksgiving and may your families and friends be in good health.
Now, lets see what this episode has in store.

[c0de_da1sy]

I wasn't expecting to be that gruesome with Saki. Holy crap.

Now I am depressed. -goes into a room and cries- ;_;

[II Maestro]

^You said it!

Saki is .... Oh my God~!

[NeutralZero]

that's one hope that crashed and burn instantly...
WHY?!
why do they want to make her suffer that much?

[mayumi]

It is honestly sickening how much they make her suffer. She better be hell of happy in the future. SHe really tuned into Zessica 2.0.

[Key Board]

What Saki got for Thanksgivings..

...

god damnit, I know she'll come out triumphant in the end, but this really is a huge price to pay

Spoiler for Episode 20:

Nice to see Haruto and pilots reuniting with their friends as they go back to school. After several episodes of absence, Shoko is finally growing significiantly as a political figure and she promises her good deeds to be spread for everyone. Too bad Haruto forgets how he wants to confess his love but he'll rethink during the climax of the series. The announcers sure are interviewing the school students. Everything seems to get along well, even with the meeting between Jior and ARUS, until one thing deemed extremely shocking...
Saki is captive!

She gets first humiliated by A-Drei and then held sequestrated with bag covering the whole body and now she sets for execution with Cain killing her back to see if her wounds heal. That's seriously painful, I really can't handle it, it just end up like one of the most shocking moments I've watched this year. That, coupled with the fact I'm reading the Saki's spinoff manga I'm reading this morning, is double amount of quick shocker. Now I really want to know whether she's alive or not, I'm sure she will!
As for the rest, H-Neun's disappearance remains ambiguous even with his loss of punk-themed earrings, L-Elf is isolating himself in a room because of Liselotte's death and watching the cliffhanger made me think I don't know what I will do. Hope next episode should reveal more.

[DevilHighDxD]

WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKK, I HAAAATTTTTTTEEEE YOOOOOOOOUUUU A-DREI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!! OMFFGGGGGG.........

My poor little Saki, come on Haruto or someone please come ruscuing her fast and please!!!!!

[finalfury]

From a scale of 1-10, how bad is this?
EDIT: Infinite I guess.
Oh, I'm definitely crying tears of blood soon.
I didn't want her to be a Zessica 2.0, but she has become the Zessica Mk.2 of this show in terms of how bad her life is.

[NeutralZero]

if you're a saki fan really bad...
we really coun'd care less for a3 and the recent ship related to him but with those revelation...
we're starting to have the same feeling we had before on q4 after she killed the megane...

[KleenexGhost]

SUFFERING!

Everyone got some this episode. In particular Saki. Is this setting up a running gag for the series in which Saki gets penetrated every 10 episodes? Alright now that I've gotten that out of my system. I had this feeling that this episode was gonna end with a shocker, then again this being Valvrave and the majority of it's episodes end with shocking moments.

Now we have this moment that opens up so much. I'm expecting it's gonna be the pilots and their supporters against ARUS and Dorssia from here on. Outrage about having a group of "monsters" that pilot state of the art mechs. Expect a witch-hunt of sorts. L-Elf is going through his moment right now. But I suspect when he gets a shot at the people who made Liselotte suffer all these years he'll probably snap out of it, plus the gang needs him right now.

I wonder how Shoko will handle this? The ending suggests not that well. How will Haruto possibly take rejection from Shoko? We got a glimpse of that moment when they ran together when they were younger. I thought it was pretty cute. Didn't get a preview of the next episode. Did anyone see a preview?

Happy Thanksgiving!
