Valvrave promised me mecha, and mecha I am getting. I'm okay with it.

Basically this. And in addition, the show also promises crazy plot twists out of nowhere. Now, that's of course something bad for a "serious" story, but I'm having fun with it so far. I took GC seriously for a decent part of it, this is a different case, lol.

From just looking at the valvrave design sheet, I feel like most of the different forms/valvraves apart from the first one look pretty weird. They might look better in action, though.

Also, Akira is best girl. I'm basing this almost entirely on the reaction face when + Show Spoiler +

Acceptable taste. I feel like I always get fucked, though, main girl is almost never best girl for me.

On paper, I thought the Red Valvrave just looked... dull. Especially compared to 'Red 5' in MJP. But then I saw it in action in the first episode, and it just looked so good. Just goes to show that you can't simply judge a mech by its line-art. On a mildly related note, same thing goes for the Turn A Gundam. Just looking at it on paper makes you go "wtf", but it looks beautiful in animation.

Turn A so manly with its 'stache and crotch cockpit. No, I get what you mean entirely, hopefully they look better in action. For some reason I can't find the design sheet atm but iirc valvrave 6 has small "wings" absolutely everywhere, which looks really weird, lol (or maybe it's valvrave 5). I kinda like valvrave 2 (or was it 3?), the one with the huge arms, though. At least if those things on its shoulders are cannons, guncannon stronk.

Time for 0083: Stardust Memory, question is which one to go for after that, X or Victory?

AGE has one of the worst Mecha designs I have seen I think.

For Valvrave I got turned off by the plot but im still watching it because of the mecha's.

Main girl is almost never best girl in general, because they have to have a set of traits that making them universally acceptable but boring.

It's like no one has vanilla as favorite ice cream flavor but it is the most popular overall.

This also explains alot about stuff like MAL list, which reward consistency and general appeal, AKA generic, over flashes of brilliance but might not to everyone's taste.

Never thought about it that way but I guess that makes sense. I remember Mashiroiro or whatever the name was where the main girl lost to the senpai character and a lot of people were like "wtf?!"

Mashiroiro? Well, I mean iirc even the game's popularity poll didn't have the senpai placed that high lol.

Besides who gives a damn about either of them, always adopted sister never not adopted sister.

Does anyone happen to know which novels the next monogatari season is covering? Is it just the rest that have been released except for Kizumonogatari?
