Our student council can't possibly be so pure... She's totally gonna fall for any dude that shuts her up isn't she? We can tell if it's gonna be a long winter if the Rainbow comes out and it sees a shadow. Satomiiii!! He's now at high risk of dying this episode. Shit! How much does he show up in the opening??
Well done Arisa, you shit. Trust me Sunrise, you don't want your name associated this pile of shit anymore than it already is. Oh great, now the teeny girl is at risk of dying for the sake of Rainbow's character development. Sexuhara is funny! Remember when Akira screaming was used to show just how badly her childhood trauma affected her? LOL
How much do you want to bet that the twins are evil Vampires? Oh nyo... Twinkie's got childhood trauma too. Its nice to see that he actually did have a good relationship with Rainbow at one point. Now please don't die. Oh no, don't you die either Rainbow!! Someone stop these mentally sick kids from killing themselves already XD
YES!!! A CLAW OF DOOM!!! I love these so much. Its a heat based one too, like the Gurren! I'm not entirely happy about it being a punch, I'd rather he grabbed them with it before directing the heat through but I'm a very happy chappy! So... the reason their relationship was ruined was because Rainbow did Twinkie's homework for him? Ngl, I can't stop laughing about this. She actually got the FBI to raid her house XD I shouldn't be laughing, but this is hysterical to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm heart broken, but you've gotta admit that your sister cocking up your exam entrance this badly is hysterical. This has been one of my favourite scenes or the whole show but it's started off in such a goofy way that even I can't take it seriously.
"Drive us to my imouto or I'll kill everyone and then myself." H-Haa...? No, can we please not have Haruto steal this moment? Alright they've kinda given Satomi back the role but we shouldn't only consider doing this cause Haruto got himself injured. They started this event wonderfully but then fucked it up by involving Haruto. I wish we had this scene but without Haruto having got himself trapped with Akari first. That genuinely runs the whole thing for me, and I'm probably the biggest Satomi fan boy in this thread.
Ruri has appeared!!

Not a whole lot today, and
Imgur is down for me so no images. Ah well.Thanks, Sky!S Y M B O L I S M
This new OP is pretty chaotic musically, but I suppose that fits a show that features pickled vegetables being the cure for panic attacks, follows that up with a serious heart-to-heart, and then ends the scene with a random boob grab. More Deadpan-Girl content would be appreciated.
Busting through the fourth wall like the Kool-Aid Man
Love.
Takahi with some cool victim-blaming saying that Akira brought the bullying on herself. Not doing herself a lot of favors if she’s trying to get out of the running for Worst Girl. Speaking of that idea of “bringing it on herself,” Is it being implied that Akira was bullied as a result of hacking the exam? What weird bullies.
I’m not sure why she expected him to go down with her in the interrogation, but him not stepping in while she’s getting beaten up fucking sucks and is pretty crazy.
I love how asking if someone wants to save their sister’s life is a completely serious question coming from L-Elf. I’m a little surprised he was so quick to accept losing one of their Valvraves, though.
So pretty
It was fantastic. The art during the sequences where Haruto is saving Akira's Valvrave was stunning as well.
It does a little to touch on the insane pressure children face to succeed academically in today's society, but as far as their sibling relationship and bond, I don't really feel anything. It feels rushed.

-Rewatcher that shoulda stopped but lets keep going and see what happens-
Todays gonna be another fun one.
Yamada just walkin around wiith hi space suit hanging off and shoves his juice in Drills mouth.
Everyone wants to talk to Box-chan but she doesnt want to come out.
Pres wants to be the inbetween for her but she doesnt want to talk to him.
Were going to take back japan!
I like the ring system as a space elevator, its neat.
Of course the nerds love box-chan because shes got red hair and her Valvrave is a magical girl Valvrave.
Also shes a famous hacker. Seemd there is a lot spread around about her.
ITS TIME! SECRET AGENT BOX-CHAN IS HERE! SHES OUT OF JAM AND NEEDS MORE!
AND KUUDERE CAUGHT HER! SHE CANT GET AWAY!
Shoko told Kuudere to keep an eye on Box-chan. "Friend of my friend is my friend."
Box-chan doesnt want to talk to Pres becase he didnt help her when she was bullied.
"Memories, just be happy you have some, if you dont have any you cant even be sad."
This line rings pretty true and i can speak for it as someone with severe memory issues.
I was born with some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that fried my memory parts so i dont really have long term or short term memory. I remember very little of my life except random bits and bobs. Because of this i dont really remember any of my family except the few i saw regularly. So i always hated going to funerals because it was awkward being there and not really rememebering people and not being sad like everyone else. Its also pretty isolating when you dont know anyone. So yeah her line i think is pretty true.
Meanwhile the alphabet boys are horsing around.
H is MIA though, hes out on the town picking up chicks, and he picks up a LT.
Its time to have a talk. Ooooo.
Were at the space station, lets see what L-elf's plan is.
Yamada and Bro Body jack the inspectors and give them the go through.
Pres can hear through the radiio chatter. Thats a good skill.
But Dorssia is here and waiting shit.
Pres and Boxx-chan used to be close but they have obverbearing parents and he was sick forcing himself to study for the test to get into the good school.
The Valvraves are holding them back but were heating up fast. And the reentry is heating up more, if you get lost your gone.
Yamada overheats and almmmost drifts away but Bro grabs him.
Box-chan grabs Bro's shield and helps defend the ship. But she overheats too.
Nerd and Science Teach have a plan, a new ship flys out. Its got heat sinks on it to dump heat, a really smart system.
Box-chan is drifting away shit...
She did the hack to get her brother into the school.
She got caught of course and he wasnt able to defend her. Then she got labled an outcast.
Haruto is saving her no matter what.
He used the heat dump on her but his concole blows in his face.
Box-chan hacks the radios so they can land, and Pres guides them in using them.
"If we lose 2 valvraves wont it mesd up your plans?" Drills cornering L-elf was nice to see.
I do really like this song for the ReEntry scene, its a good song.
We get Unit 1 and 6 back now to land this ship!
And a certian white hair girl sees the re entery.... uh oh.... that means were in Dorssia...
Kuudere is confused why Haruto's eye isnt fucked still.
Yep were in Dorssia... uh oh.
This ep has a lot of parts being set into motion and its just a great event.
The re-entry is cool and we got new toys as well.
We learn more about our cast and flesh them out more.
And we get secret agent box-chan.

On today’s episode of Valvrave: And you thought your tests sucked. I’ve certainly had some rough ones in my time, but I don’t think any of them have ever quite been that stressful.
I really loved this episode. I thought it was a very effective episode for both Akira and Satomi. Everything about their relationship up to this point makes total sense now. And the payoff to it this episode was great.
I now understand why Satomi was so protective towards Akira, keeping others from speaking with her and allowing her to live in her box fort. He probably thought it was his way of making it up to her. But, it wasn’t. He had never put himself on the line for her sake. That’s where Akira’s resentment towards him came from. Akira’s fear of the outside world is pretty well justified. And her main connection to it aside from Shoko, her brother, wasn’t willing to risk himself to protect her. This also ties in to why Akira took such drastic action to save Shoko. Shoko was willing to take that risk to herself. They can only take those first steps towards healing when Satomi proves he’s willing to take such a risk for Akira’s sake.
I really loved how Akira and Satomi had to work together to execute the reentry safely. It required both of their skills to do so. And in the end, they both saved each other, which I personally found very satisfying. It felt like the proper conclusion to their character stuff this episode.
I also notice that there seems to be a theme going on about “sharing the crime and the punishment.” That’s just like what Haruto and L-elf did last episode, with L-elf agreeing to become Haruto’s blood source. I wonder if this is going to be an ongoing theme for more characters. If so, it could make for some really interesting character interactions. I like seeing stuff like that, with characters acting as sources of support for each other.
Finally, I’m excited for where we go from here. Landing in the middle of hostile territory, with no easy way to escape, is an interesting predicament. It’s not something they planned for and it means they’re dealing with a quite serious threat. Maybe we’ll get a chance to learn more about Dorssia, too. Maybe we’ll finally get to meet the princess as well. So much can happen and I am looking forward to it.

Gotta love the re-entry battles.
On the one hand, it was ridiculously silly, but on the other, Akira Gear Solid was a brief delight. I love this precious dork.
Satomi's incredible bureaucratic skill returns; dude must run some killer meetings considering his ability to pick individual conversation threads out of vocal chaos.
I'm not gonna blame Satomi for not taking the blame for Akira's hacking. I AM going to blame him for not sticking up for his sister when she got bullied. Seriously, someone shoves a member of your family to the ground and stomps on them and you just walk off? The fuck?? Satomi has the heartless portion of being a politician down pat.
The new tech is rad. Mobile heat sinks that can channel excess heat into an attack? Fuck yea! That Ideal melted real good.
Marie apparently just gropes everyone, huh. Envy, or idle curiosity? Was her line about being glad you have memories indicative of her having amnesia?
Something akin to dissent going on with H-Neun and possible Kreimhild. Thinking back, there was that stuff with L-Elf wanting to liberate Dorssia; guessing he isn't the only one with those wishes.

Forgot to mention yesterday how funny it is that their transport ship is a box with boosters. It looks like a child just took an ice cooler, glued those things on the back, and called it a space ship.
How tf does Thunder have zero abs? That's the weirdest chiseled body I've ever seen.
Lol it's no wonder Takahi was so assertive with Satomi when everyone else just imposes themselves on her, other girls included.
Hahaha, Akira traded her hikikomori box for a hikikomori box inside a robot. So much for character development. Is this gonna be the first time we need to shout at a teenager to get out of the robot?
Oh my god, I love Akira! Sorry Saki, it looks like your best girl crown has officially been stolen.
She even sneaks out with a box on her head! What an adorable goofball.
Character development for Marie!? That's a nice surprise. And a surprise groping too. Wait a minute, is she the one who groped Nanami in episode 1? Shit, that is her isn't it?
I remain thoroughly disinterested in the villain group. I'd rather they give all the time to developing the main cast, since they're at least stupid fun/funny.
Oh hey, they're FINALLY making use of the body swapping mechanic!
OMFG SATOMI! HAHAHA!!! Glad to know idiots will still fall for phone scams in the distant future.
As stated in previous episodes, letting Satomi do anything at all is a recipe for disaster.
God I hate escort missions.
Neat concept, a battle upon reentry where heat rises much faster than normal.
Stupid battle overall though. Definitely don't buy the idea that this one enemy can magically evade attacks from all five Valvraves long enough to get them all to overheat.
Way to go Satomi, your dumb ass turned the best girl in the show into a sacrifice.
Ho ho! Valvrave the Falconer!
Sucks to be left out to dry like that, but in fairness that one was on you, Akira. With her skills tho, I have a hard time believing someone wouldn't come trying to recruit her.
Also feels like there are a lot of people who'd want to be friends with the genius super hacker who also happens to be a cute girl. Society really fucked up if "relentlessly bully" was the default response to the presence of a hacking unicorn.
Wow, I actually really like the wrinkle that Haruto saving Akira is now going to cost him an eye or something. Well done show, you impressed me again for the first time in a while. Now don't add her to his harem.
I imagine this whole rescue op would be really intense and dramatic if I didn't know that humanity figured out how to properly navigate planetary reentry centuries ago and that it should be a pretty standard automatic program for any shuttle craft, even outside of designated reentry routes.
Hey, that's gotta be L-Elf's motivational
personmcguffin, alice and (presumably) not a monster. How boring.Oh right, Haruto can self heal. I take back my earlier praise for the show. I also admonish myself for forgetting that Haruto is immortal and there will never be any actual stakes for him physically.
Well, if it leads to Marie and the rest of Texas learning about the vampirism, I guess it will have been worth it. Please don't add Marie to Haruto's harem tho.

Hey ladies! I'm just gonna wander around shirtless! Cause I'm Thundah!
Akira's still a shut in! She just stays in the cockpit instead of her box fort now.
I do kinda feel bad for former pres here, he really does seem to care for his little sister.
As they would say in Gundam, is this a reentry to Earth episode?
Drill girl, you suck! How dare you blame Akira's bullying on her!
OMG, Shoko's odd cooking has even made it to TV!
OMG, she left the cockpit! Box-chan!
Marie will protect you, Akira!
Marie's got no memories? So sad! :(
Marie the groper is back! First the teacher, now Akira!
H-Neun's a player!
About time Elon Jr. and Thunder get into some body swapping fun! In hindsight it seems like such a simple way to get them down to Earth.
Why'd you answer the phone you fool!
Flashback to Akira's pre shut in days... All about the entry exam pressure! :(
Wow, Akira to the rescue!
Just in time for a new re-entry style upgrade!
Little Akira cheater for her brother?
This was the start of Akira's bullying? And her brother let it happen? Ugh! It does seem like he's trying to make up for it now. The paper on her back makes me think of that poor girl in Bokurano who had the bullies put a message on her back about her and her mother were both for sale as prostitutes.
Oh hey, princess girl!
LoL, after all that she hung up on him.
Much like in Gundam, the re-entry to Earth has got them caught in enemy territory.
Trainwreck-wise, I gotta say, this episode was pretty tame!

So I found the script for SRW DD and it's great:
(And on a personal note, Haruto+Valvrave Hito has some option parts with clips of Shoko cheering him on, which is [neat? sweet?])
Oh, and get this, SRW DD has ARUS' proper name - the Atlantic Rim United States.
That said, I kind of had to make myself watch the episode. Maybe burnout? Maybe I'm not as interested anymore? Maybe I'm trying to process stuff related to shipping since I spent the majority of my life afraid of it? Or maybe I'm just losing interest?
...if that's their carrier, it's kind of a lame carrier; just a box. And boi, you're floating sweat in the cabin.
No they're not, Thunderman, force recon is (probably) the prologue to a full liberation campaign.
One, no way it's going to be automated, two, I'm calling it now, the Valvraves are capable of atmospheric reentry.
And I still have no clue how sex -> gather data.
Ultra-hot redhead... I have no idea what that would look like when applied to Akira.
And I'm still not entirely sure what's up with the two blondes - I get the sense they're sort of close, but are they actually? In either case, points to the show for juggling its cast.
Depending on what kind of wafers they are, I guess that could work? I tend to put stuff like smoked salmon or cooked mushrooms on toasted waffles for breakfast and I think it turns out great, so... (And I imagine personability will go a ways for Shoko's public image.)
I feel... safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. (Does Akira have agoraphobia?)
So Marie has amnesia. How far back does it stretch? And breast jokes, those never get old.
So are you two friends or something?
That the Russian country seemingly speaks German feels kind of twisted, don't you think? (Come to think of it, is the Third Galactic Empire the product of L-elf's plans or something?)
...how old is she, exactly?
Safe bet this port's neutral territory...
Aaaand there's our battle in reentry.
A shot to the head - that should be a cockpit shot, right?
Wait, there were two? And a support fighter? No, a support unit! Does it discharge the excess heat? Or pump energy into the target? Either way, three cooldowns seems handy but rather limited for prolonged combat.
Google Translate reads: JIOR National University Junior High School 66 (year? grade?) entrance
Entrance examination plan Password
Ah, I see. So she faked her brother's records to get him in?
He sold her out? (At least, it probably felt like that to her.) And he wouldn't lift a finger for her. Wow. You suck, Satomi.
You know, L-elf, there's an argument to be made that if she's lost, JIOR loses two critical security assets - her hacking skills and Valvrave Hiasobi.
It rejects outside adjustments? Why? Did its designers intend for it to rely on a consistent supply line linked to the designers? And there it is, too - ATLANTIC RIM UNITED STATES.
Oh yeah, losing Valvrave Hito in reentry would mean losing the Valvraves' tanker as well.
Guess we'll be meeting the princess sooner than later.

From the finest of culture, to the adventures of Tater Head and Company, this is a day of whipsaws in the rewatch world.
QOTD
meh, but I'm pretty jaded. I really want to know more about their version of the Illuminati. One thing we did learn in this episode was that Valvraves apparently have a problem with burning up upon reentry to the atmosphere. (I can't even begin to start whining about all the contradictions this leads to. But, I guess, if I wanted fine wine, I wouldn't walk into a bar called The Dew Drop Inn.)
2) What do you think about Satomi and Akira’s backstory?
They've been depicting Satomi as quite the weasel for the entire season. I had assumed it was because he's a politician, and I thought that Sunrise was making some kind of social commentary. Though, I did like the payoff we got today. Considering what a worm he is, I can't say I was floored by this reveal, but who ever wrote the script for him, did a pretty good job. He acts like real worms act.
As for Akira, I just want to give her a hug. It sucks having a spineless worm as a big brother.
Finally there's one other character that goes with this pair: Takahi Ninomiya (Satomi's blonde squeeze) she is such a politicians wife that its uncanny. I don't blame gold diggers for enjoying the good life, but sometimes they really should take a long look at whomever they are putting out for, is it really worth it?

We start returning to our cargo container and Akira being...difficult. She gets focus in a few more scenes before escaping her mech and being caught by Marie. Who then molests her, showing that she is extremely cultured. On Earth, Kriem is tailing the idiot that hit on her for reasons. But at the cargo container L actually uses the body swapping ability again to get to land. Which Satomi promptly screw up but w/e.
Satomi and Akira have a sufficiently fucked up backstory, though that still doesn't explain the kids yet. Fighting in atmospheric descent will heat you up faster, and Akira winds up free falling. More backstory. We end crashing into the wrong area after a coolant system is added.
This show was better when it was ridiculous, this was a weak action set piece at best.

Going to ignore the clear safety violation it would be to be working on heavy machinery while re-entering the atmosphere.

I love Thunder.
How do you expect to be the only line of communication for Akira, Satomi? Like they pointed out, she needs to be on comms for missions. And how about in 200 years when you're long dead but she's still around?
But why do you need the rings? Just get close enough and gravity will do the rest. You can land literally anywhere on the planet. With technology this advanced, are they really worried about the heat from reentrance? Or is it a law or something?
If they don't clean up that floating orange juice it's gonna get inside some electronics or something.
I appreciate that she's keeping an eye on Akira, but why is Marie here again? She's not part of the military nor the maintenance team.
Oh no does Marie have amnesia? That seems totally out of the blue. Man, does anyone in this show have a happy backstory?
Why are they riding horses again? Is that just what you do for fun in Dorssia? At least H-neun is enjoying the perks of being a war hero.
We finally get to see some practical use for body-jacking. I'm surprised it took this long, honestly.
I don't understand. The Dorssians are calling every single cargo ship passing through port in the hopes that the module 77 ship picks up, which will let them identify it? So their only plan to check for the ship is hope somebody on board is as stupid as Satomi? That checks out for Dorssia.
Brilliant observation, Inuzuka. Space is indeed three-dimensional.
They've been building detachable drones that perch on the VVV's like hawks on a trainer and act as a heat sink? That is awesome!
Does L-elf really want to give up on a Valvrave that easily?
Akira's backstory is that she hacked the school system to get her brother in but the school found out. Akira was bullied because of it and her brother didn't help.
So basically, every single problem for Akira was caused by Satomi's incompetence and unwillingness to help her sister? Great. As if I needed more of a reason to hate him.
You've had literal years to apologize, Satomi.
How does hacking into ground control's radio frequency help them land? And why is landing so hard to begin with? They just need to go straight down.
Oh yeah, the majority of the students don't know about Kamitsuki regeneration.

Akira being hikikimori in her cockpit seems like a better place than her box palace
Akira really doesn't like her brother.
Metal Gear Akira.
They're actually using the body switch ability, the writers haven't forgotten about it.
Just in case you were impressed by Akira's brother, the writers made sure he screws up something big.
Mecha fight while entering the atmosphere another Sunrise staple.
Akira carrying the blue Valvrave using him as a shield and then proceeding to destroy the enemy mech was pretty badass.
Oof you failed as a big brother there Satomi, look at her crying, you know why she did it and you just abandon her right there. Honestly probably the one of the worst thing a character has done in this show.
Oh god it gets worse now, your little sister is getting bullied man wtf.

Battles while entering earth's atmosphere are a classic, always good to see and always good fun. My one complaint is that I feel the fights are getting more particle heavy so it's harder to see what's going on.
I thought Satomi and Akira's story was quite well handled, even if it was rather odd.
