>Valvrave
I think Valvrave is actually decent, since the creators were very much aware how campy their stuff was and instead trying to "fix" it, they ran with it.
>>
>>15417276
It's definitely not as bad as the memes would have you believe, but it's got some fundamental problems. I think the biggest is that they didn't have enough time to unpack the story, making the second half feel unsatisfying.

But I was also really struck by how much I liked the main Valvrave pilots as a group. There's actually a lot of interesting character interactions early in the show, and their victories are always hard-fought. You can feel they're hanging on by a thread the whole time - and eventually that thread breaks.
>>
>>15417276
It probably helps that it's directed by a guy who inserts a musical at the first chance he gets, because why not.
>>
>>15417276
>I think Valvrave is actually decent,
It's not. It's very bad.
>since the creators were very much aware how campy their stuff was and instead trying to "fix" it, they ran with it.
One, no they tried to take themselves completely seriously and two the 2nd season is them trying to fix it by attempting to string together the mountains of random plot points they made up as they went along in the first season.
>>
>>15404806
True men love the Z'Gok.
And Gundam-san.
>>
>>15417729
I feel the side story stuff actually helps to rectify a lot of that.
>>
>>15417729
>It's definitely not as bad as the memes would have you believe
You're right, it's worse.

>There's actually a lot of interesting character interactions early in the show,
They are all boring generic stereotypes that do nothing interesting.

>and their victories are always hard-fought. You can feel they're hanging on by a thread the whole time - and eventually that thread breaks.
Having Sue-Elf deus ex machina a win is not an earned victory.
>>
>>15417785
No it's really pointless and literally adds nothing.
>>
>>15417785
I don't really know anything about the side stories. I know there's the one about the two pseudo-Valvraves, but I have no idea what happens in it.

Valvrager please go.
>>
>>15417729
Valvrave has many, many problems: it is rapey, frequently exploitative in its depiction of violence, shoddily written, and patched together from ideas taken from anime tropes at large and from other mecha series, both good and bad. But its core problem, ultimately, is that it simply has no core. It is an empty shell of a series, and, in my opinion, an utter and complete waste of time as a result.
>>
>>15417804
There's more than just Undertaker.

There's one that's a collection of short stories about a bunch of different characters and the ones for the Valvrave team sans Haruto and Saki (whose stories are respectively focused on in the series and in a separate side story manga) are pretty nice.
>>
>>15405218
It was okay, even mediocre at times, but the ending totally shat on everything and made the audience look like an idiot for wasting their time.
>>
If you take Valvrave seriously, you should try to not do that.
>>
>>15417824
>There's one that's a collection of short stories about a bunch of different characters

>and patched together from ideas taken from anime tropes at large and from other mecha series, both good and bad.

This was something that really bothered me. There's a lot of homages to Macross and Gundam that don't seem to add anything and often get in the way of the story.

Haruto's dad is probably the worst example in my opinion.

>rapey

It was really off-putting the first time I watched it, to say the least. But on a rewatch I think, again, the problem was that they didn't have time to explore the implications and ending up leaving it by the wayside.

I don't think, however, that it needed to be avoided completely. There was a lot going on between Saki and Haruto that wasn't healthy, and they were maybe starting to address it - but then they had to go to Earth and swap bodies and a bunch of other shit. There was way too much competing for space, and it's only brought up again in a single line in the finale where Saki tells herself she was being an idiot.

>But its core problem, ultimately, is that it simply has no core.

I wouldn't agree with that, and instead would argue that the story tries to hard to make something of itself, and loses a lot in the process.

>>15417824
Undertaker and the Saki manga were the only ones I knew about. Are any of these in English?

>>
>>15417849
>I wouldn't agree with that, and instead would argue that the story tries to hard to make something of itself, and loses a lot in the process.
If you recall that season break interview the staff did confirm that there weren't making a cohesive show and just making up a bunch of random events regardless of how they fit together or made sense as long as they were shocking. So the show was made with no backbone or core story and literally made on "what a twist."
>>
>>15404712
That's the shittiest poll I've seen in a long time. Also you need to include EVERY robot anime on the list for it to be fair.
>>
>>15404806
The anime was shit. The manga was excellent.
>>
>>15417871
Wow, that's pretty terrible. Do you have a link to the interview?
>>
>>15417849
They kinda did address the stuff the episode after the rape.

Granted it was less about the rape and more about Saki realizing how Haruto wasn't joking when he saw his predicament as being a curse, and how her arc culminates in giving up on an opportunity to have Haruto all for herself like she wanted the moment she thought Shoko ate beam explosion because she realized she needs to earn that right for herself and not by abusing his nature as the nicest guy in space.

Also afaik everything but Undertaker and the LN serialization of the series should be available in English.

>>
>>15417849
It absolutely needed to be addressed. Something as horrible and sensitive as rape should never be tossed by the way side like it was in vvv. I don’t give a shit if they didn't have time, you make time because of how sensitive rape id. But they never even intended becsuse Okouchi's commentary on the bluray literally says the rape was put in solely for shock value.
>>
>>15417882
>she realized she needs to earn that right for herself and not by abusing his nature as the nicest guy in space.
Is that why she tries to force herself on him when he clearly doesn't want it?
>>
>>15417877
You do realize you're not going to get a link from him because then you'd find out how he's grossly misrepresenting the information to promote his narrative, right?

Or are you going to believe me when I say that when Majestic Prince ended the staff disclosed that it was all just a tax shelter for Yakuza and the reason there hasn't been anything else beyond the movie is that they're all currently in witness protection?
>>
>>15417909
The link has been lost but it doesn't change that they said the show was not really made with a plan and more made so each episode focised on a "shocking twist."
>>
>>15417882
I agree that they were addressing it, but I think that thread wasn't really finished when they finally set it aside. It also rubbed me the wrong way that Saki being raped was leveraged more to show Haruto's pain than her own.

Saki was already an unhealthy person and emotionally manipulated Haruto repeatedly, and while she realizes this on her own as you said, I think there needed to be more tension between the two of them for me to be satisfied. Being raped leading to her questioning her own motives is... kind of fucked up, really.

I actually liked Haruto being an idiot and proposing - that probably should have been a springboard into something, but instead it's more of a conclusion.

>>15417896
This was genuinely how I felt the first time around, although I must admit I'm a little less bothered by it the second time. Seeing all the episodes back to back, they do start to address it, as the other guy said. But again, I don't think it's ever really concluded, and the effect it had on Saki is never really explored, and it's such a heavy think that it's really irresponsible to drop it like that.

The way I see it, it's less they didn't try at all and more they did try, but they fucked it. Which is better, but... not by much.
>>
>>15417908
She wanted the D since like the second half of the first episode.

Remember she joined Haruto in the cockpit early on just to suggest he tie down L-Elf's body before transferring back to his own. For no real reason but to be the star of the moment.

And yet she turns down a marriage proposal because she knows Haruto is only doing it to atone for assaulting her.
>>

>>
>>15417921
>I actually liked Haruto being an idiot and proposing - that probably should have been a springboard into something, but instead it's more of a conclusion.
Because he never say her as anything more than a punishment for him.
>>
>>15417919
The actual statement was Okouchi saying he wrote it so that people would talk about each episode as it came.

The part about a lack of a plan is not in the interview.
>>
>>15417924
And in 13 she tries to force herself on him while he's clearly uncomfortable with the whole scenario.
>>
>>15417924
>Haruto is only doing it to atone for assaulting her.
More to punish himself.
>>
>>15417947
Because of the runes, though.
>>
>>15417942
It was included that the twists were more important and they made them up as they went along rather than being planned in advance, but I doubt you remember it.
>>
>>15417958
Runes weren't a thing yet. Her body language indicates she wanted sex and his indicates that he didn't.
>>
>>15417963
Clearly you remember wrong, it was that the show was planned as a seasonal experience / watch it as it airs.

You're putting words in people's mouths insinuating otherwise.
>>
>>15417896
