@Acura_Max:

This is supposed to be fall trailer. Don't worry about it.

I can't believe this is actually happening. I enjoy the fact that Robotics;Notes is taking the time to make manga series about each of the characters.

Valvrave the Liberator - I haven't known the characters or have any feelings for them except for Shoko, Haruto, and L-elf. They stand out to me. I just hope the manga is at least a bit interesting if it shows some of the cultural aspects of idols. I find the culture behind Japanese idols interesting after Kelleth and I collaborated on the Japanese Idols & American Celebrities: Similarities & Differences\.

Check out the discussion threads at #Anime Vice Discussion Threads where we have spring 2013 anime series. The popular ones right now:

• Attack on Titan - It's like Highschool of the Dead but with Titans eating humans but no fan service. The animation is a bit like comic book style with the characters having thick outlines.
• Flowers of Evil - Uses Rotoscoping animation which scares most viewers away, but the story is the catch here. It's about a girl that the main character doesn't like. When the girl catches the main character stealing gym clothes from a girl he likes, the girl black mails him. It's a psychological and creepy show.
• Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet is a mech series written by Gen Urobuchi who is known for Fate Zero and Madoka Magica. It's about Ledo who is stranded on Earth after a galactic warfare with an alien race. The anime pulls you in when you want to find how the story progresses. The animation is more spectacular on Earth than in space.
• The Devil is a Part-Timer! - is a romance and comedy series about a devil king stuck in the human world and slaving himself at MacDonalds while figuring out a way to get back to his world.
• The Severing Crime Edge - another romance and comedy series about Kiri who is a hair cutting fanatic who meets Iwai, a Hair Queen whose long hair is cursed where it cannot be cut. Kiri get stuck protecting Iwai from serial killers who want to murder Iwai for reasons I cannot give you due to spoilers.

A good Titan?

Episode 7 was great. Love Mikasa's inspirational speech followed by Sasha's adorable way of insulting the other soldiers.

I was confused at a Titan who just saved Mikasa.

	Mikasa: "I am strong! Stronger than you guys. Very strong. Therefore, I can defeat those Titans! Even on my own. You are not only weak, but you are spineless cowards. I am disappointed in you. Just stay here... Stay here and watch." — Mikasa's Inspirational Speech	10:18

@Acura_Max:

Oh I forgot. Why don't you go ahead and add it to Valvrave Four? It's a challenge to describe these mechs.

Hmm, we have a purple Valvrave and an orange one.

I'm thinking Kyuuma will take the orange one while Akira takes the purple one. I was going for gender balance.

@Acura_Max:

Thanks man. I was waiting for someone to bump this.

Episode 5 was amusing. Shoko is random, but I love how she attempts to cheer up everyone. The series does not pull back with the fan service, lots of Gainax Bounce. You can't really take this anime too seriously.

I thought Saki was cool, but I never knew she was an attention deprived little girl due to abusive parents and some bad idol career early in her life.

Let's make a prediction on the Valvrave. I bet A-Drei will take the Blue Valvrave. It's a wild guess.

Random but lovable scene

Nana Mizuki & T.M. Revolution's collaboration CD single “Preserved Roses” reached the number 2 spot on Oricon's daily singles charts on its first day of release last Tuesday, and sold 45,523 copies. It eventually sold about 115,000 to also rank #2 for the entire week. The number one spot was taken by boy band KAT-TUN and their single “FACE to Face” that sold 69,647 copies on its first day and about 132,000 in its first week.

The song “Preserved Roses” is the opening theme song for Sunrise's ongoing Valvrave the Liberator anime. It is the first collaboration between T.M. Revolution (a.k.a. Takanori Nishikawa) and Mizuki.

The musical duo Angela (Fafner, K, Asura Cryin') performed the anime's first ending theme “Boku Janai” (It's Not Me), and Elisa (ef: a tale of melodies, A Certain Scientific Railgun) is contributing the second ending theme “Soba ni Iru yo” (I'm By Your Side). Crunchyroll is streaming the series one day after it premieres in Japan, and Aniplex USA has licensed the anime for distribution in North America.

Note: I would have put in the Valvrave the Liberator discussion thread, but I chose to do a separate thread to promote with more threads.

@AURON570:

Oh, dang. I have been using that word, "altercation," a lot of times in my episode summaries in the past.

Thanks man. I have to fix this one and the other pages.

Now the plot is moving. I thought it would be a slice of life staller like Robotics;Notes, but I enjoyed the slow build up.

The natives need to explain to Ledo that the whale squid is sacred. Otherwise, Ledo will not take them seriously.

@Sonata @Daniel_Newton

New trailer - just making small talk :)

Plot

Fantasista Doll

Genre: Science Fiction

Produced by Hoods Entertainment

Release Date: July ?

The science-fiction story revolves around "dolls" who fight and power up with special cards.

We don't have a summer guide yet. I'm going to post in June 2013. Stay tuned for it. Check out the Spring Anime 2013 Trailers Archive Blog in the meantime.

@Feral_Nova:

Me, too!

Wait, what season are you on?

I'm a wiki addict. I love it when I'm reading the manga chapter to compare to the episode, I find something cool I missed like these items.

I wrote these on the episode 6 wiki page. It's another job well done.

I welcome any help on the Attack on Titan wiki project.

Altercations

In the manga, Mikasa's mother tattoos or carves the numbers 844 on to Mikasa's arm. Compared to the anime, Mikasa's mother and Mikasa are knitting.

Censorship

The manga vividly reveals Franz's dismembered torso.

@Supreme Marvel:

When I drag the GIF on Fire Fox, it didn't work. For Google Chrome, it worked! Thanks, I do it in Chrome from now on.

@Sonata:

You forgot Melty. :)

Weirdly enough, when they said festival, I thought it would be like those big festivals with booths and food. It was more like a small bachelor party with belly dancers.

Lots of dancing and fan service in this episode. I was looking at the dance. It was more belly, hip, and booty shaking. I was thinking Filipino or Indian (Asian) styled dancing. The attire that Amy, Melty, and Saaya wear remind me of Native American culture.

I always thought the Hideauze were flower-like. I see now it's more like squid-like.

I found this cool GIF. Still haven't watch the series yet.

Oh my god, I found this naughty GIF.
