The most fabulous valvrave

This scene was awesome

A famous pop star, a (or two) vampire superpilot(s), a president's daughter, a special forces member and a top secret government scientist moonlighting as a lecturer.

Who's going to get the next big reveal. With the reveal of the school probably being part of a super secret weapons program, it wouldn't surprise me if every kid in there is a special snowflake of some sort.

>>9124376
It would be nice if they had some random Joe who piloted a mecha too. But they probably won't go that route... but who knows?

>>9124391

What could a random joe possibly offer?

In fact, isn't HARUTO a random joe? He only became a vampire after piloting Valrave. Not to mention...What kind of fucked-up system needs a vampire to pilot it?

Nope. Manipulative and a cunt, yes, I'll give you that.

>>9124399
Watch as the season reveals him to be the Dorssia ruler's secret bastard son or some shit.

Fuck we thought Saki was a normal girl until this ep suddenly went NOEP SHE WAS A POPSTAR ALL ALONG. The same thing was the case with Shoko.

>>9124411
We knew she was an idol before VVV even aired.

And a good chunk of people thought she had some agenda from the very beginning.

>>9124411
>NOEP SHE WAS A POPSTAR ALL ALONG.

It was hinted in previous episodes.

>>9124411
Glasses nerd turns out to be a android with perfect engineering prowess.

>>9124417
Not just hinted. It's explicitly written in Valvrave's site. They even say she's a former celebrity a few times in the first episode.

>>9124417
>>9124416
Whoops, my bad then. But the point still stands. Everyone in the school is going to turn out to be a special snowflake.

Attention whore, manipulative cunt, CRAAAAWLING IIIIN MY SKIIIIN. No aftertought in her actions, very selfish. Pants on head retarded.

Pretty fucking despicable as a person. Good character.

>>9124422
What about Shoko being the Hior President's daughter?

>>9124433
Didn't get anything about that and I'm pretty sure it was revealed only in the show.

>>9124433
Yeah that one came the fuck out of nowhere. At no point until then did she hint or even act like she was anyone important.

Saki was a master troll this episode.

A real shame she is gonna dead.

Anyone else feels like this episode would be better if it was split into two? It feels like it was really rushed.

>>9124484

I guess, but the show seems like it'll be shaking a bunch of stuff up soon and maybe they wanted to get this done first.

I still felt it was better than the last one though.

>>9124484
Honestly it felt pretty long to me.

Probably because it was packed as hell.

And i guess one could see last week as part 1 too since with the IDOORU and singing shit.

My feeling exactly.

>>9124372

It's so glad to see non-angst teenager gets to pilot a mech for one.

Hell, Saki's reaction is what most boy and /m/en would reacts if they get to pilot a giant robot that also gives them the ability to be a body snatcher vampire as a bonus.

There's the speculation of Jewbro getting the titan arms Valvrave.

>>9124423
That's pretty likely, given that according to what L-Elf managed to uncover, the entire school was an unwitting part of the VVV program.

Also, I'm a bit sad that Saki's machine didn't have its own VVV-tan.

Would've been neat, like the two demon bike AIs in Blassreiter sizing each other up at the end.

The one who has the VVV-tan is the king. All the others are his servants to control. And then behind that king is the creators of the valvrave monitoring(possibly controlling) his actions. Once that organization has no more use of them I wouldn't be surprised if the nano-machines killed the pilots.

>>9125029

>not RAIZO YAMADA, THE UNKILLABLE SPACE BANCHO WITH A HEART OF GOLD

>>9125066
Unless that scientist, that remained in the module, manages to sever the connection.

>>9125081

Yeah. Yamada will get one sooner or later.

The better question is, will Shoko gets one? And how much Haruto will whine if she did.

>>9125087
I doubt she'll get one. Unless its second season and she's Shoko of the Rebellion fighting against L-Elf's Empire.

So, what's the point of the show?
What goal do our protags have?
Being a ragtag bunch of misfits set out to rapekill both space Nazi (P)russia and space US, ending space Cold War once and for all?

>>9125099

JIOR = Japan
ARUS = USA
Dorssia = SovietUnion/ImperialGermany/ImperialJapan

Haruto & Co.'s Module = Hippies' Fantasy Land

The show is about how youths are the key to fix the world's problems for a better tomorrow.

Oh who cares? I couldn't careless what the show is about as long as it continues to be this crazy awesome entertaining.

>>9125124
>The show is about how youths are the key to fix the world's problems for a better tomorrow.

Or that the youths of Japan must awaken to lead the country out of the influences of USA and other nations and stand on its own legs.

>>9125083
That could get interesting, actually. On one hand, you have the theory that he's actually working for the organization, but it might be cool to see the opposite.

>>9125081
My mistake; I mean blue frame.

Speculation was that bancho got titan arms.

Still up in the air of course; and probably not for another two episodes; unless they chose not to reveal the coming of a 3rd VVV with the recent preview.

>>9125146
>probably not for another two episodes

Agreed.

They just gave Saki her rave. I think they'll let her and Haruto shine for a few more episodes, before giving another rave to someone.

>>9125150
Along those lines, who do you think will be the next pilot?

>>9124688
It's so thick and glorious.

>>9125158

Either Yankee or the otaku. Yellow is more then likely the next one up since they'll need long range support.

>>9125158

I don't have a clue right now.

Saki was such an obvious choice, it's easy to call.

Other students rarely ventured near anything combat related so far.

>>9125165
>otaku

Nah, Otaku will become the mechanic.

>>9125158
More likely bancho; since he has an actual reason to fight, and one not on Saki's level, and E-Elf still isn't quite sure of whether or not he can actually take one without being devoured from within.

Going by the older speculation, it's likely that Jewbro would follow Bancho, and Hobo would follow Jewbro, and finally E-Elf himself after 4 previous successful activation and integration.

>>9125174
>Jewbro
>Hobo

Who are these?

>>9125177

>Hobo

Akira.

>Jewbro

The dude who tried flying a helicopter.

>>9125177
The girl in the cardboard boxes is probably the hobo.
Jewbro is the guy with short green hair.

>>9125180
>>Hobo

>Akira.

I can see her getting one, but not until much later.

>>9125177
On the same note, who's Bancho?

The blonde class rep dude?

>>9125206
>Bancho

Bancho is that delinquent whose friends died in episode 1 and threaten Haruto in episode 2.

He's that dude who go to fix the Module's power system with the Otaku.

>>9125206
Orange Haired Bully

>>9125209
>>9125211
Oh right, the deliquent.

Haruto - Took VVV Red to avenge Shouko, only to regret that he did as Shouko was alive.

Saki - Took VVV Green to prove she's capable of becoming a star, of sorts.

I predict the following might take VVVs.

Raizo - Will take VVV Yellow after threatening to beat up the immortal Haruto for his continued reluctance to share the burden of protecting the colony. Raizo hates one of the superpowers a lot for the trouble they've caused to his family in the past, and privately, he does give a damn about his fellow classmates enough to prove that he can really tangle with the big league.

Jewbro - Will probably take one of the VVVs simply because he sees how much suffering is going on and feels helpless to do anything about it. Might end up causing trouble with his recent girlfriend, or at least, provide an interesting dynamic on one possible take that Haruto and Shouko's paths might have taken if they were a couple. Of course, it might just do wonders for Haruto's self-esteem, and further try to distance himself.

Akira - Will probably take VVV Purple, simply because there's not much else to her life, and as an immortal, can keep spying on whomever she wants and manipulate the flow of information.

E-Elf - Because the staff said so. And because no one seemed to spontaneously combust taking the others, he takes one for himself for his fated battle against Haruto.

>>9125217
>Jewbro

They really need to develop Jewbro if they gonna give them one. The guy barely does anything.

>>9125217
>Akira - Will probably take VVV Purple
I agree with it.
Also, Purple looks like a fucking sorcerer, and everybody knows HAXX0RS ARE MAGIC.

Nonono, reverse harem is 1 female to ever 5 males.

See, 2:3 is more gender equal than that.

She's not "alpha". As a girl she knows exactly what girls like and what buttons to push to get the desired responses.

So now that Figaro is dead... who is going to represent Arus?

>>9125349

I love how she plays Haruto like a little virgin that he is.

Fuck, the first 5 minutes of this episode is fucking solid gold.

>>9125356

>>9125349

>>9125356

I don't think different genders would've even interacted peacefully with each other, if they weren't hard coded to.

>>9125382
Reminds me that most yuri fans are actually straight girls and yuri as a genre started in shojo manga way back in the 60s/70s when there was a new wave of female shojo authors and shojo really experienced a boom (before that, most shojo authors where male and less influental).

I think they're all bisexual by nature or just worship gays in general or something.

>>9125366
Aren't the few female pimps that exist also the most successful pimps or something?

If you're a chick you automatically know how to manipulate other chicks.

>>9125409

>most yuri fans are actually straight girls

The vast majority of yuri/shoujo-ai manga are serialized in shoujo/josei magazines/anthologies.

Yuri as a whole is mainly for girls/women.

>>9125434
Which is weird. With yuri and yaoi I have to wonder what goes on to make them love those things so freaking much.

To some extent, but it wouldn't be worthy trying. It's not very good even if it is still better than you think.

It's normal. People will keep throwing bullshit at each other about Vavlrave or anything else.

>>9126757
Maybe you should just hide the threads then.

>>9126757
Either Valvrave fans are extremely easy to bait, or one person REALLY hates it.

>>9126763

>your side

I'm speaking as an observer, jackass.

>>9126775
Then what does it have to do with you? Fuck off.

>>9126775

Then just read that as "as long as Valvrave is being talked about" period.

I'm just glad other points positive or negative do come up as well.

>>9126784

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that only seeing how stupid these arguments can get and not participating in them because I have a degree of intelligence prohibits me from commenting on how retarded they are.

Go fuck yourself.

>>9126797
And yet you're complaining about them.

So that plan was completely pointless because ZAFT just decided to attack them anyway.

Enjoy your fapless life.

>>9126347
You know you can just castrate yourself in real life? In fact, do us all a favor and go for it.

>>9126920

There are severe medical consequences that result from that.

>>9126925
Like not being able to fap anymore.

>>9126851

Your level of immaturity is admirable. I like pretty much everything you mentioned, so I will merely laugh at you.

>replying to spam

>>9126891
Pretty much. Though they can still kick their ass apparently

>>9126891

Yup. I liked that they didn't get intimidated by such a bluff.

>>9126891
Dorsia's tactics might have worked had this not been a super robot show with killer Yo Yos.

>>9127495
To be fair, they weren't bluffing. The kids were probably going to give it to ARUS

They just had the smart idea of "Let's just fucking destroy all the ARUS forces, then there's no problem". However >>9127521

Do you have an image of the story of the wife and the clothes?

>>9128282
That is cute as hell and all.
But what really bothers me about that story is how the truce should have ended.
>Okay, it's day 26 now, you played ball very well back there, your family in the picture you showed me seems a happy one.... Now I'll kill you because lol truce over.

>>9128328
Nope. I have a few /a/ foolz links that discuss how Shoko isn't retarded at all and how the retards there would've utterly failed if they were in the same situation as her, are those fine too?

>>9128346
Isn't that how it basically ended?

>>9128348
It sounds intriguing at the very least.

What about THIS IS MY PERSONAL WAR! Leen from Orguss 02? Or Isamu?

>Puts a cape on the mech
>Takes centre stage in the fight scene, protag stays in the background

Please let this not be a once-off. Please let Saki stay actually useful and competent in the rest of the season until she dies or becomes an enemy

>>9128443
>competent
>Saki
Hah.

>>9128464
She did pretty well that episode.

>>9128486
Only after she attention whore and Shoko started to cheer for her, on top of having Haruto saving her ass. Don't make me post that image. You know which one.

>>9128493
What exactly were you expecting?

>>9128523
The same things that happened in the episode. However the lesbian part surprised me. Actually, it's the only aspect of this episode that surprised me, other than the shit that happened at the shrine being way shorter than I expected and Shoko seeing past that bullshit.

>>9128493
>recites back the events of the episode
Gee, no shit? What would you prefer, that she was a special snowflake mary-sue that did everything 100% perfectly? Nothing in your post changes the fact that she performed competently and was the centre character while Haruto was on the sidelines.

>>9128527
So she did just fine then.

>>9128533
>>9128535
No. If she were competent she would've snapped out of that

1. Realistic case scenario: a minute or so earlier.
Or
2. By herself.

Unless you're using competent as a buzzword.

>>9128539
You are the one who is using competent as a buzzword.

>>9128539

Let's not kid ourselves.

>>9128555
Thirty seconds. Better now?

>>9128556
Anon please, we're not super soldiers like you.

>>9124372
It's Carmilla!

>>9124376
Haruto is a doctor's son.

M-moses got to an escape pod in time, right? RIGHT?

>>9125287
She's technically just a trainee. Makes sense

>>9125382
Scientific studies of female sexuality indicate that they have an interesting reaction to their own sex.

I like the way Saki play Carmilla's joystick

>>9128346
That's the nature of men. We can kill each other after discussing how much we love our wives.

>>9128539
She was quite competent for a rookie.
The main problem was her break-down of self-confidence. Once it returned, she was 2fast2furious.

>>9128635
>The main problem was her break-down of self-confidence
See, that's exactly why I went >Saki >competent


Also, if I were in charge she'd be the last person to get in a robot, unless all the other alternatives are as much of a basket case as her.

I can't wait for Super Robot Wars to have Saki's last attack Dynamic Kill animation show all the tweets she's cumming too.

>>9128645
Self-confindence =/= competence

>>9128655
Okay. Reliability.

>>9128660
In the end, she took them out, though. She wan't exactly a grizzled vet entering that skirmish.

>>9128667
See >>9128493. I'd rather have someone that is more consistent, even if he/she has worse performance overall.

>>9128669
Also, I think much of the effort was due to the VVV2 being a very good robot. Possibly even better than the VVV1.

>>9128645
>as much of a basket case as her.

Considering who else we have as possible candidates like the NEET or hiki and the delinquent plus the nerd, I think almost everyone will also be changed into adopting somewhat crazier or more exaggerated behavior like Saki was upon gaining power.

>>9128670

I did not get that impression. VVV1 is more versatile overall and VVV4 is just more specialized for speed.

>>9128672
We have the jew and glasses girl.

>>9128674
I think it's the opposite. The VVV1 seems to be more of a robot overspecialized in melee than anything.

>>9128669
Even grown men piss themselves upon hearing open gunfire. Your expectations are ludicrous.

>>9128677
I don't think grown men want to have the world cheering them on twitter for snapping out of it, and I don't think grown men take combat as a game either.

>>9128684

Well, grown men usually are not teenage girls who were formerly idols. Though the image is funny.

But you know, grown men sometimes do need someone to give them a confidence boost when they are depressed or scared.

>>9128684
That's the point. It wasn't a game, but she came through eventually, even after the horrible revelation. I doubt a trillion and one upvotes would be enough pick most people up in that situation.

>>9128684

Actually, Shoko snapped her out. It was Saki herself who, already in control, asked for a bigger audience.

>>9128697
>It was Saki herself who, already in control, asked for a bigger audience.
Which is even worse.

>>9128708

Nah. I do not think it is worse since you are mixing up two different moments. Even without the audience she would still have done better by that point, thus her issues were not related to that per se.

>>9128708

Cant see why would it be...when Saki was not cowering because of the audience to begin with.

>>9128713
>>9128716
I give up.

>>9128728

Yeah, I guess so. Agree to disagree then.

Saki hater, pls stop. You got told last thread so you come to a new one to start again? Sad man, just sad.

>>9128748
The nile is not just a river. The majority dislikes her now.

>>9128751

Nobody is actually measuring the width of the river, so speaking of the majority on the anonymous Internet is pointless, and even then the majority knows nothing unless you think Gundam SEED Destiny is the most awesome AU too.

>>9128751
>The majority dislikes her now.

Even here on /m/?

>>9128753
I guess so.

>>9128753
It's what he wants you to think anyway.

So I have finally seen the episode and while i can somehow undestand Saki's feeling...she's just an attention whore to me, not to offend anyone who likes her but just how can you like her? If not the fact that her unit is my 2nd favourite Valv i would just kill her

>>9128833
>she's just an attention whore to me, not to offend anyone who likes her but just how can you like her?

How can you like anyone in this piece of shit? At least she's interesting.

>>9128753
I wouldn't go so far as to say majority, but a good amount dislike her compared to previously when she was just another character.

Honestly, whatever her motivations were, it doesn't change the fact that what she did (especially in Haruto's body) was utterly selfish and for her own personal gain. She's attractive as fuck, but I think her actions in this episode kinda turned a good number of people off.

>>9128751
>The majority dislikes her now.
Speak for yourself. If this was a majority opinion then there wouldn't be people defending her.

>>9128872
>vocal majority
>numerical majority

>>9128877
>vocal majority
You mean minority

>>9128872
What are vocal minorities? Last week Shoko had one. Now the roles are inverted.

>>9128870
>was utterly selfish and for her own personal gain.
And yet people think Haruto doding the same thing in episodes 1 and 2 was what made him awesome?

This episode made me love her. Might have a new waifu.
