The first thing it came to my mind when I saw Vividred Blue Operation was Figure 17, despite being a really different series. After the attack, of course I drew comparisons with a certain gold hammer as well.
I can't really say the fanservice is "excessive", I was actually expecting quite more. The premise can't really be taken seriously (especially the idea of the Engine itself). I think I can link the experience of this show so far with Symphogear: no "classic" but an enjoyable show. Enough for me, I guess. |

The two girls seemed pretty goofy and oblivious while discovering their new powers as innocent people around then were getting blown to bits lol No matter, their transformations are eye (candy) catching and I hope they transform more often
I liked the cooperation between the girls and the air force + navy, it was pretty cool and entertaining This show sure does like it's butt shots lol, not that i'm complaining That whole becoming one thing was unexpected too lol I thought they would both just power up but I was very wrong XD Man, if they ever make figurines out of all these characters, they're going to be hella expensive lol

Okay... it was actually a well paced and animated fight. As for everything else... it's actually one of the most enjoyable action I've seen in a while provided I turn my brain off for the other parts.

So I'm kinda impressed by the detailing they've put into the military aircraft - we see a flight of 3 F-22s inbound at first, then followed by 6 F-35s, which are probably the \ CATOBAR C, as I don't see the duct fan intake hatch on the spine that would denote the B, and carriers would be the likely source for them Lightning IIs... also, given that the F-22s are shown firing AMRAAM missiles at the Alone, it's no wonder that they're not hurting it: the AMRAAM has a small blast fragmentation warhead, which is fine for killing planes, not so great for a large armored target. I have to wonder as to what missiles the DDGs are firing as well - it looks like Standard Missile 2s to me. Those are great SAMs, and can be used with some success against ships, but that's because naval ships are essentially unarmored. Tomahawks might be a better option, except that I don't see them - and anyhow those are land attack missiles; IIRC nobody uses the antiship variant anymore.
Still, while the fighters might not be too effective - and really, you need the F-35s up there to fire off Harpoons to really hurt that Alone - at least this Alone isn't as hax as the Neuroi. Okay, this seems to be some kinda modified F-35, or they didn't do the research - the C - since that's what I'm assuming these are, given they're being launched from the George Washington - doesn't have an internal gun, it has a external 25mm gunpod, and it does not sound like a slow-firing machinegun... Also, nice detailing on the hardware of the DDGs seen - I count two Kongo-class (Kongo & Myoko), plus a mix of Flight I and Flight II Arleigh-Burke-class DDGs (Flight Is are distinguishable from Flight IIs by the lack of an aft helo hangar) and Flight II Ticonderoga-class cruisers, as well as what I believe is the USS George Washington in the OP, based on the hull number. And they even have Amagi using what looks to be a development of JHMCS - though it's not the actual F-35 helmet, which has a gold mirror surface. Well, she is a named character, afterall. And while I'm kinda surprised that there's a passenger V-22 that Aoi's riding in, I do recall that Skikorsky and Bell have made civillian models of their military helicopters, the most famous being the Sea King and Huey respectively... What does surprise me is that I see EA-6B Prowlers on the George Washington's flight deck; really by now they ought to have been replaced by the EA-18G Growler... ...I think I may have missed the point of the last two episodes.

This show has never been about real science. This is using science as an excuse for fancy mahou shoujo antics. Don't worry! They weren't named characters, so they totally don't count.

The moment they show Professor Isshiki having his consciousness transferred into a stuffed toy through an explosion, I knew enough not to expect hard science from this show, and that's not a bad thing. I don't know where you got the idea that this show had a believable scientific base in the first place, when the first episode had none.

On more cheerful things, I suppose we should speculate on what the powers of the other Vivid girls will be. Since Aoi was Vivid Blue and is essentially KOS-MOS + GOLDION HAMMARRRRRRR, I figure the girl in green - who I am guessing is called Midori - will be some other female mecha/robot girl... crossed with DAIZENGAR.
ALONE WO TATSU TSURUGI! XD

Oh man, this episode was even funnier than the previous one. Ships and jets get blown up around them, and Aoi struggles to confess to Akane that she actually doesn't like tomatoes! A truly dark secret that weakens their friendship! The whole concept of docking and the attack names (Naked Impact? Really? ) were also hilarious. What was Akane's granddad even thinking when he invented the Vivid System?
The writing is so bad that it's funny. However, the action and the transformation scenes are awesome, so I don't mind that much. Looking forward to the next episode |

Anyway from the look of the Opening credits it doesn't look like Momo will be joining her sister in glorious combat as I had hoped but who knows I may be surprised.

Well I for one didn't see them fusing into one being to save the day coming at all... That was kind of cool. The attack names, not so much. Hilarious for sure though.
I just feel bad for all those navy fodder, poor guys! I'm hoping Momo will be the hidden badass that will come to save the day in the finale.

Well they knew the job was dangerous when they took it... I'm hoping is the one that'll help combine with Akane to make Vividred!
