Valvrave the Liberator

Jul 18, 2013

Story: To set the tone right off the bat, most of it is an orgy of pink bubblegum explosions and laser spams, and I mean a fuckton of lasers, bullets from chainguns (IN SPACE), a buttfuck fuckton of missiles because shit blowing up, you know? You know. Shit blows up. A lot. And mecha just tearing shit apart. Action in every single episode of this batshit insane, stupid ass series with twists up the wazoo. Wazoo?

Feb 16, 2011

Made by one man; a mad man at that. Only one like that could make a masterpiece like this. A masterpiece might be too bold a term, but it is one man. One who created a tragic tale of separated lovers; separated by time and space. I admit I wept a few times, once during the scene where Mikako messaged Noboru that it would take eight years for the next message to arrive and again later on. Some other sad stuff occurs and the waiting definitely tugged at the heart strings. But we don't know much about the two apart from their situation, but for me, that was all I needed. Considering that it's only a half hour... See full review
