Thanks for the thread!

So now that were a few episodes in...

I do like the personalities of the Walkure members so far. I thought I would hands down like Mikumo the best as shes the most Sheryl.... (which continues to hold true)

but Kaname is kinda sneaking up on me. <3

I also kinda hope that Maki and Reina are dating.....

[Tak]

I actually like Reina Prowler.

Just look at her background event in episode 4.

[xeviouses]

Makina is best, a singer and a mechanic plus a hugely cheerful personality.

Oh, she can handle my wrench, anytime.

So far, I like Mikumo the best so far. So mysterious yet also has a commanding presence as the ace of the Walkure.

Kaname plays the role of a leader well too and being a good role model for the other members.

As of the end of Episode 4 it seems like the action tempo will be high for at least a short time. Enough personality has been revealed so far to make Walküre's members individual and interesting, but I'd Like To Know More. Certainly I'd like to see where Reina and Makina live.

Hey, maybe there'll be a beach episode.

You just know that they live in a huge warehouse where Makina store all her toy models.

BTW, Kaname Buccaneer has to be one of the most metal names, ever for an anime character. Just below Dark Schneider.

Are uou sure its not Full Metal Alchemist? Git it? 'Full Metal'?

- Tak

[Tenzen12]

Kaname is more than enough "Full Metal" name on it's own.

[magnuskn]

[Tak]

Just FYI, Kaname usually means pivot.

From the anime magazine

She did not get used to defeat the enemy with Mirage new integrated army, listen to the story of phosphorus Minmay from a great grandfather and grandmother, there is also that there are Mylene to aunt, interested in Valkyrie to use a song of power. At that time, the scout from Arad captain, came to the Chaos.

Kaname

Makina

Mirage was interested in Walküre prior to being scouted by Arad because she had heard about Minmay from her grandparents and then there was also her aunt Mylene.

Kaname debuted in the past as a normal idol but retired, because she didn't get any popularity. She joined Walkure as the manager but she ended up having a high level of fold receptors so she became a member.

Reina was caught hacking into Chaos and they brought her on because she had the aptitude

Makina has the blood of a mechanic (further leading credence to the likely possibility she's related to the old mechanic from Zero). She likes mecha and idoling and wants to fulfil the dream of both.

Man, thos Walkure are quite similiar to 4 kings in Kill la kill especially Reina and Inumuta

[Tenzen12]

I wonder why Kaname wasn't popular, she looks nice, is decent singer and has great personality. If I should pick between her, Minmay, Ranka or Sharon it wouldn't be difficult choice.

Of course, she can't compare to Sheryl, Basara or Emilia but...who can?

[Annorax]

I like Kaname. Dont know why but I just do.

She doesn't have stage charisma. She's nice but she doesn't have a lot of presence on stage, that's why Mikumo (and now Freyja) easily overshadow her. I wouldn't measure her to bloody Minmay who is a legend who inspired generations of singers and introduced zentraedi to jokes and humor for the first time (in DYRL). She's nice, but that's it.
