Having said that, I watched first season of valvrave last night. It was umm quite the show: + Show Spoiler + Couldn't help but feel like I was watching some rip off of gundam when I first started watching considering the idea of two factions, in space with most civilians living there etc... Yes I know that's generic and doesn't mean ripoff but gundam is the only mech anime I've watched so it was my comparison. Having the main character almost confess his love, go mad over her apparent death then get revenge only to get killed but come back as a vampire lol. So much drama and action in the first several episodes. Even though I do feel that some parts of the show could use improvement, it's starting to grow on me. I mean, I love Haruto and L-Elf's relationship. His ability to predict everything then he's on their side. Cain's mysterious past or what him being a Magika means since he's apparently some impossible opponent to beat. I disliked the episodes where they were trying to declare their school a country. It just felt lacking and their threats to hand over the Valvrave to either factions if the other attacks felt like it lacks thought. Not to mention them turning against each other everytime something happened. I can understand what they were trying to do but did they think that the other factions would just comply so easily with their demand? Other thing I noticed and I'm sure other animes do the same is that everytime they got stuck when battling dorssian, another valvrave would show up lol. I know they were introducing new characters slowly, just felt odd but I don't mind. More valvraves can't be a bad thing. I'm interested to see the direction they will take with season 2. I've only watched season 1 and 1 episode of season 2 but it seems like only Haruto is affected due to his Valvrave being the original one since none of the other pilots have had to try and get runes from other people(or is it blood then?). Haruto and L-Elf is starting to happen XD Last thing, the green gundam pilot, sorry, forgot name, she's obviously in love with Haruto although I'm almost sure he'll end up with Shoko at the end. Wonder what he will do when he realizes he killed her father >.> | ||

One of the scenes in season 2 is a standard scene that happens in most Gundam series. Also, no mention of Moses in your giant essay. Did you even watch this show -____- | ||

Other then that its pretty much the same as before with basically the entire cast outside of a few being soooo unlikeable. I hope you don't think Kiritsugu is unlikeable. | ||

Lol Watching Valvrave? Hmm seems like you like it, but damn did you watch the whole thing last night or what? You watch shit quickly my friend. Also funny how the other guy thought that was a giant essay ![]() Now I shall proceed to fan boy all over White Album 2 + Show Spoiler + That was slightly disappointing, I was expecting a bigger freak out from Setsuna, but she was just being emo because she was feeling left out. I thought she was mad because Touma is stealing Kirahara and letting him stay over at her place for the whole week, but no silly girl was just sad because her old friends were cunts and thought these guys were too. Kitahara is oddly skillful at talking to Setsuna, whether he means to or not he knows what to say to that girl O.o I thought she was going to stay mad for the whole episode or something. I've only watched this episode once so idk there might be some details I missed, this show throws some subtle hints sometimes. I really wonder WTF is in that notebook, freak out like that on the teacher was odd and considering that book seems to have a lot to do with Kitahara (and that she keeps pretending not to like him) I'm very curious. It must have something to do with the performance otherwise I'm clueless. Got all caught up on Log Horizon + Show Spoiler + To be honest, I like the show and I somewhat like the direction the show is taking but I don't feel like I know very much of what's gonna happen next. There isn't like a big evil guy or "guild" in this case that's after them, I suppose they might deal with that guild where those 2 kids (I laughed when he said the little girl's name was Minori ![]() | ||

I don't think he does much in those 9 first episode but you can see the potencial and he's like the best character in the entire Fate franchise.

How much he bullies Saber is the only redeeming quality about him | ||
