[Anime] Valvrave the Liberator

Time skip again. But Saki looks different? And that kid... was he Saki's descendent? L-Elf's? A very good way of dodging the marriage question. No one is helped if the reason is merely "responsibility" and Saki doesn't blame Haruto for what happened nor does she fearful of him. Granted, Saki still isn't all that pleased, but she seems to realize that it's better than making everyone miserable. I'm glad L-Elf wasn't portrayed as being completely surprised by Cain's actions, though he was surprised by the poison gas and stuff. Shoko doesn't wind up dead and Akira winds up as the pilot, as a number of people expected. I really liked how Akira's scene worked out. Her uneven tone of voice and near hyperventilation really drove home just how strongly her trauma was keeping her there. Her resignation as a human being perhaps makes the most sense out of the five. If VVV2 could only be activated by inserting Blue, then that makes me wonder how did VVV3-6 get formed without an OS-tan. Code Geass-level season cliffhanger though.

So we all still question what the time skip means, but if it holds true that is the future that would mean, Rukino lives in the end and so does L-Elf to some point.

Cain appears to be some kind of God, who probably was one if not the original Valvrave pilot. He also appears to be part of some secret organization that rules the world from the shadows, (reminds me of The Illuminati) with what looks like the leader from the other country part of it.

Predictions for Season 2
-somebody going to get raped
-some Valavrave pilots are going to die
-MC Dies (dies that he can't be reborn anymore)
-somebody going to get raped

Time skip again with Rukino and a silver haired kid; L-Elf's kid? I really like Akira's scene, and her character is really interesting compared to the rest. Should be watching season 2 when it comes, only to finish the story.

Its like the more they introduce the less interested I get. There are too many loose ends in this anime. It also seemed like every space battle was exactly the same except that the Dorrasan Army (cant remember name) would just try something new and ultimately fail. They honestly reminded me of Team Rocket, except they dont yell "we're blasting off again!" after retreating. END RANT

But seriously though, I'd give it 5/10. Maybe the second season will clear things up. But once they introduced the super human race thing I lost interest....

Apparently, providing "interesting" things for Valve-tan is the fuel for the Valvraves. Haruto's characterization was pretty strong this episode. He was willing to lock himself away so he wouldn't harm people, yet he also understood that if he let himself die, nothing would really change. It would just involve more people and create new victims. While he may have made a new pact with L-Elf, there's no telling if that will be enough to keep Valve-tan satisfied.

Y U NO do it with Rukino instead.

Lol, that's exactly what I thought. I would've made a pact with her. Why bite a guy on the neck to recover energy when you can just have sex with Rukino instead. It's not like she doesn't want it.

Well, having a brother and sister conflict (Satomi/Akira) resolved while plunging dangerously through the atmosphere is one way to do it...

But of course they just 'had' to land in Zeon/ZAFT-I mean, Dorssia territory. /facepalms
