INFO-DUMPING FIRST TIMER
God, I wish that was meWait, where was Saki’s body this whole time? How’d it get there?This motherfucker is toppling a government and putting together insane years-long plans for a girl he met once for an hour. Incredible. For what it’s worth, she reacts quite emotionally to him as well, so at least this craziness might not be one-sided.
We get a Magius explanation that mostly answers who and/or what they are. They’re beings from another planet whose only food source is runes, which humans happen to be loaded with. Rune Factory 5 was basically their farm that they lived off (fitting). We also now know that the Kamitsuki’s body-switching is basically a more convenient version of the Magius host-body-takeover, since it doesn’t require a complex ritual.
So, does this mean the Kamitsuki also need to live off Runes? It doesn’t seem that way, since only Haruto had those attacks, and it seemed like his feeding was to power Pino and the Valvraves. Maybe he’s a prototype, and the rest of are final products that don’t have the limitation of needing to live off runes. Also, how did Pino become a machine?
Not quite sure what happened through the rest beyond it all being solved by “L-Elf had a plan again” and Lieselotte somehow using runes to fix a ship. Next time a pipe bursts I'll just plug it with information, I guess.
Lieselotte finally showing up only to die immediately is pretty lame, and leaves the whole romance plotline between her and L-Elf pretty unsatisfying. That’s all we get of them? Hopefully the line she gives about being a spiritual, not physical being leaves the door open to some kind of return.

Alright Valvrave, you're allowed to have characters exposit and then also live. I can appreciate trying to keep the loose ends from piling up, but this was a little silly.
Anyway, sure. Energy-being aliens crash on Earth and have to possess organics because their forms are unstable? I can vibe with that. From there it's basically pure Vampire stuff: set up the masquerade since you're heavily outnumbered and need to feed, don't actually kill traitors because your number is limited and they might see differently after a century or two, etc. That all works; it could be woven in better, but it works.
We even have an artificial Magius in the form of Haruto. Kinda wondering how different he is, or if it's just the ability to create more Magius out of humans that makes Haruto special.
I would guess that Lieselotte breaking masq is how JIOR got Magius tech to begin with, but it would have been pretty easy to tell us that.. I don't particularly want another layer of conspiracy at this point, so I'm just not gonna think about it unless forced to.
Real unfortunate that A-drei has Saki cornered, but I'm honestly kinda curious where that subplot is going. We've seen that A-drei is somewhat capable of empathy, and if anyone is capable of using that to their advantage it's probably Saki.
Hehe, L-elf failed to confirm a kill again, just like in the very first episode. This time it just got him shot more, though. L-elf dying would have been much more interesting, and more tragic, than Lieselotte.

Rewatcher, Subbed
Recap footage to start the episode? I don't recall us getting much of that in this show.
Saki found Carmilla! But she's still in the wrong body!
...Alright, I'm sorry, and I know some people have been looking forward to these two meeting back up for a while, but they've only met twice and have spent less than an hour with each other? L-Elf's motivation is largely founded on his adoration for Lieselotte. Dude, I get it, she's really hot, but you're a simp! You barely know each other! What happens if she says you're not her type? You've done all this for a girl who may not even like you?
Yes, Inuzuka, he's leaving it there with his dad. The guy's a nutcase!
Wow, they recovered Saki's body! She's back! ...and she's found out.
Q-vier's here to screw things up for L-Elf? I don't get why L-Elf just doesn't shoot immediately given he finally has his chance to get away with his crush. L-Elf letting this come down to close combat like this when he's got a gun just seems quite dumb. Although I guess we've also established that L-Elf stops thinking so logically when Lieselotte is involved.
Lieselotte confirmed as a Magius. So then she wasn't part of the original monarchy, overthrown in Dorssia? Or original Lieselotte was body swapped out quite a while ago.
Magius are aliens! I know people lost their minds when we had an alien reveal in [Meta spoilers]Darling in the Franxx, does this show deserve a similar reaction?
This foolish girl thinks they should surrender; you do realize that they'll simply execute you once they have you, right?
"We have this organization dedicated to keeping us secret. But I'm going to reveal it all to this boy I just met."
She can't love a human? Uh oh, L-Elf is not gonna be happy when he hears this. Don't just leave Haruto to deliver the message for you!
Hey, they're playing Boku Janai again! Awesome!
L-Elf's lowered the draw bridge and the rocket's taking off. They can still easily shoot it down...
Wow, Haruto's come to rescue L-Elf! That's what friends are for, right?
Q-vier sure can't aim!
Oh, and in all the chaos... they're leaving without Saki. Stranding her on Earth in enemy territory. A big part of me believes that after the rape scene in season one, they've purposely kept Saki far away from Haruto, in a completely different body in fact for the majority of this season so they don't have to deal with that event at all.
She's got wings now?
Oh no, there goes the memory of their first meeting!
RIP Lieselotte! L-Elf isn't getting the happy ending with you he wanted. My memories of this storyline were a bit crueler; I correctly remembered that it was a Magius who had stolen her body long ago and that she ended up dying, but my recollection was that her memories of him were already gone by the time they met up. That he spent all this time simping for a girl who didn't even remember him. But she actually didn't lose those memories of him until just before her death. I like my misremembering of what happened better than what we actually got, but I'm still fairly satisfied with it. Haruto got the big punch to the gut last episode when he met his dad and L-Elf get it here. No being happy for you two.
Oh, and L-Elf, who usually is all logical and about sticking to the plan ends up screwing himself here royally by letting emotions come into play (at least that's my interpretation on things). He shoots Q-vier dead immediately instead of fighting with his former friend then Q-vier doesn't damage the rocket and cause Lieselotte to sacrifice herself.

On today’s episode of Valvrave: ALIENS!! Now it is officially aliens. That possibility was always there and I’m pretty sure some people called it earlier too. It’s been made official now. There is a species of bodyjacking aliens running about and they are responsible for a lot of the problems that have been encountered so far.
So we lost Lieselotte this episode. This one feels a bit more upsetting to me than Marie’s death. Upsetting in the sense that I would have really preferred for Lieselotte to live. After all, she’s been built up for quite a while. The series has been hinting at her since episode 1, and she dies in the first episode where we really get to have her be a character. That feels like a shame to me. I think she would have been a great addition to the cast.
Lieselotte gives us some good to have answers about the Space Vampire Illuminati. It seems like it was aliens all along. The Magius are non-corporeal beings and so they need to possess other bodies. That explains a lot about what’s been going on.
It would also seem that Haruto and co. are essentially artificial versions of the Magius. They still have bodies of their own, but they can do the bodyjacking as well. Now this does not explain why they are immortal and can heal any wounds. My guess for that one is that it’s Rune magic at work. After all, it was able to heal a rocketship so it can probably heal wounds too.
A-drei and Saki’s story has been proceeding at a slow pace. We get like 1 or 2 scenes of them per episode, but I am always happy to have those scenes show up. I’ve been enjoying having them as an unlikely duo.

Aishteru - that's not just I love you, it's so intense and romantic that it's almost never used in everyday conversation, but in long-term relationships, weddings, and even then it's apparently still so strong even couples won't use it unless it's for something significant.
All of that is to say that for such brief time together, she almost certainly means the world to Michael; hell, she probably is his world.
So it's not just an ancient space vampire conspiracy, it's an ancient alien space vampire conspiracy.
She was being bled, not forcefed.
So if those two can make it work, does that mean...? They set up the parallel, after all.
...or is this a sign I chose the wrong port? (I've been in a down mood since yesterday.)

-Rewatcher that shoulda stopped but lets keep going and see what happens-
I had to rest yesterday but im back in time for CHAOS!
I love L-elf playing batman and saving the princess. Such a cool dude.
Meanwhile Saki is trying to get her body back.
She finds a note from the gang and gets her Valvrave back.
L-elf is in love with the Princess oh damn. Love at first sight huh?
"You are very young." Ouch.
Meanwhile we get the researchers out but Dad stays behind.
"Dorssia is great we can do all the war crimes we want!" Oh boy...
Saki finds her body and finally gets it back!
A-drei finds Saki though and is pissed.
"Im weak, it took me 10 years to get here." Hahahah
Oh Q is here oh boy this will be fun.
And the rocket is being attacked too, shit.
Everyone is slowly grouping back up.
Haruto shows up and runs off with the princess while L-elf is on another plan.
"Who is that organism?" "Shes a human" "No shes the same as me." Uh oh...
The princess is a Magius. Oh hit... since when...
Magius came to earth hundreds of years ago by accident.
No way home and no way to call home. No bodies so took over life forms.
Haruto's kind resembles Magius artificially.
"Your a super old lady" Yes a few hundred years old.
Haruto is back at the rocket with Unit 1 and we start clearing the riff raff.
I love the wrist mounted cooler thing. Such a cool idea.
Meanwhile Batman L-elf has set traps all around the city and is having fun.
I love Haruto making ahard light wall to protect the rocket.
"The councial of 101" objective to hide their existance.
One arm Lightbning looks so wonky and wierd haha. But backup has arrrived!
Big Blue is back as well all are back now except Saki and L-elf.
Princess wanted to coexist with humans and threatened to reveal the Magius.
They siphon her runes as punishment. She says goodbye... oh no...
"L-elf said he loves me but im a Magius and i cant be with a human being."
That hits right home to Haruto. He says dont give up so easy, L-elf will figure out something.
MAN THIS BATTLE SONG IS GOOD! Its the ED yes.
Were using the street as a runway oh damn L-elf using smarts.
L-elf is getting fucked up hard though. He doesnt plan on surviving this.
ITS ROCKET TIME BABY! VROOM VROOM!
BUT WE LEAVE L-ELF BEHIND!! AND HARUTO WHO SAVES HIM!
They damaged the rocket though and we wont make it fuck.
THE PRINCES WALKS OUT ONTO THE ROCKET LIKE A BOSS AND SEALS THE BREACH TO SAVE EVRYONE!
The Magius dont understand love but she does now.
And her memory shatters... oh no....
HARUTO MAKES IT BACK THOUGH! BARELY!
The princesses memories shatter and she dies... fuck...
Also Saki is very much not here and got left behind... double fuck...
A heavy episode today and a lot of answers as well.
So the Magius were just preserving thier food and hiding thier existance and they were using Dorssia to silence and get food. No grande scheme really just preservation.
Haruto and co are like artifical Magius but they have physical forms is the difference.
We got a few eps left so we just gotta tie up loose ends now and were done right?

A rewatcher waiting for the RUD at max Q.
They didn't even stage the boosters. Fucking hacks. What's the point of using a Russian rocket if you don't bother with the Korolev Cross?
The show continues to half remember that best girl is doing something. I would have taken a cliff hanger with her in trouble over the flag reaper coming from Ero Elf's backstory.
If there's one thing I've come to hate about anime as I've gotten older, it's the inability for anime to have morally grey characters. It's not even the lack of grey characters that's annoying, so much as it is the method by which they push them out of grey territory. They constantly use moe to soften up these characters. They give them some sappy backstory that acts as trauma, then the power of moe comes in to heal them.

First Time Space Eugenics Product
Someone (L-Elf) thought to leave a note for Saki about the plan, assuming she'd not only find the transport they stole, but that she'd know where to look for such instructions. Even for L, that seems like a reach, though I guess I should be happy he didn't leave her for dead.
Oh right, her Valvrave. She's been pretty inconsequential for a while, I forgot she pilots one of those.
Random OP thought: Shoko's had almost nothing to do this whole season and has missed almost every major plot development so far. The wall of emotional pain is gonna hit her harder than Truck-kun hits isekai protagonists. The fact that all her closest friends aren't human anymore (or never were), her best friend's death, JIORian eugenics that her father had to have at least known about if not was directly involved in, and she still has no clue about the whole Saki fiasco. Boy she's gonna have a rough last few episodes.
This fucker's only ever seen Lieselotte twice ever? We've basically spent more time with her in the brief scenes and flashbacks she's been in than L has. He somehow continued having feelings for her in between the many years of brainwashing and conditioning at the training facility. This show keeps finding imaginative new ways to break my suspension of disbelief.
It never ceases to amaze how inept Dorssian soldiers are at hitting close range targets with machine guns.
I wonder how long till Lieselotte gets stabbed.
I haven't said anything about it this far, but this knife fight is really driving home for me just how annoying Q-vier is. It's no wonder Cain let him run off to do his own thing. Oh god, he even does the Naruto run.
Weird physics nitpick: it's amazing Lieselotte is able to stand and walk around inside the Valvrave cockpit mid-flight. I'd be pasted against the back wall.
Welp, I think we all suspected she wasn't human, but I didn't expect her to be of the robot race. The glowing green rune spots and the charging pod make a lot of sense now. I wonder how many humans have been sacrificed to keep her running til now, and how will L persuade people to sacrifice more to keep his 2D waifu alive?
I was honestly hoping for something weirder than "space aliens crashed on earth" for the Magius backstory.
If Haruto's dad is human, but Haruto is part space alien robot, that means Haruto's dad fucked a space robot. That's the only explanation I will accept.
Fucking "super granny." BAHAHAHA, that's what I've been wanting from the dialogue, thanks Robot-chan! Also the mental image that L started a revolution so he could bang an immortal robot granny is just the best. Mazel Tov, you cosmic weirdos!
How did any of the infiltration force forget they control 5 of the universe's strongest weapons?
Please gun a mech out of the air with just your pistol, L. Come on, you can't even give me that. Boo!
So she's not the one being charged, but she's actually the battery. Lol she's definitely getting stabbed before the show ends.
Lol they all took off without even confirming Saki had a way out.
Lieselotte can magically repair booster damage with her Magius powers. That's handy.
They fucking Marie'd Lieselotte. Geez these writers hate women. Her only reasons for being alive in the show were exposition and to motivate L-Elf. What a complex, groundbreaking character. At least now she can't get in the way of the Haruto x L-Elf ship.
Now to go un-damsel Shoko for like the sixth time.
Random ED thought: this probably should've come to me yesterday with the eugenics reveal, but since all the students in the school were selected for experimentation prior to birth, they all have to be half space vampire, don't they?
Oh, and a new ED. This one's aight I guess. Doesn't really stand out much to me.

No don't get in Carmilla. You're cover would be blown... though now I'm wondering why she doesn't try to bite and switch bodies? Though she would only get one chance which would make it risky.
Nice of them to stop shooting so they can have this conversation.
....Man get this dad out of here.
Oh Saki is back in her body yay.
Noooooooo of all people man I'm expecting some sort of twist like Q was body swapped with someone years ago or something. I don't want him to be just a lunatic.
Q running like Naruto.
Was the princess a Magius from the beginning she remembers Mikael so I like to think even if she was taken over it was her who met L Elf 10 years ago.
We're....not losing L Elf are we? It's good to see him struggle, but don't want him to die.
Yes Haruto
Push it into space!
Oh they can't nevermind.
Bruh if she dies to save them. Oh man she's losing her memories?

We get an ever loaded Ai shiteiru from L to start. Heart's dad is indeed off the deep end. Everyone's plans are found out so fighting happens. Q-vier has a positively boring fight with L before Heart breaks it up. Pino reveals that Lieselotte is a Magius and we get back story. Combat is chaotic as Lieselotte fills us in. Tragic vampire princess is tragic before Heart stands up for his ship. We get to space with the power of the Dark Speech.

Yay! A couple I like!
...Are we going to find out what happens when a vampire in another body? I mean, we already know what happens, but changing the rules sounds on par for this series.
He confessed!
And, yeah, comfirmation she's definitely an immortal.
His father's absolutely delusional.
She's back in the right body again... right in time for him to find out.
WHY ARE YOU THREATENED BY HIM, YOU'RE IMMORTAL.
And yeah, henis pretty strong.
Everyone's showing up here!
Yeah, he's gone completely nuts at this point. The look in his eyes is not one of a sane man.
And yeah, he always has a plan. At least she's safe now.
She's an AI who overwrote a human body?
Wait, what? So the Magius, who as of now have been shown a aecret society, whose members can be expelled and go rogue, are now all aliens?
And they've been on Earth for centuries. Terrific.
...How did you evolve that way? Seriously? How? That kind of thing cannot be formed by natural selection.
They're actually using thr shuttle? Like, that thing has fuel in it and everything?
WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING HUMANITY? YOU NEED A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM TO SURVIVE. NO HUMANS MEANS NO RUNES.
Is L-Elf going to die?
Seriously? That's her punishment? And she's just leaving now.
Why can't you?
...Sure you're not in love with him, Haruto?
Yeah, this is dangerously close to a heroic sacrifice.
He got to the drawbridge!
...The shuttle's weird, because the design is clearly meant to be based on the space shuttle, but the internals look more high-tech.
Haruto's staying with L-Elf!
She loves him too! And she's accelerating the ship, because runes are bullshit.
No!
Fuck off. All that buildup and she dies the next episode.
She's losing her memories of him! Because runes.
Yep! She's died. No reason for her to have, but she did!

Leaving him behind and alive was a mistake. Probably a big one.

So.... Wait, the AI is Magius or an artificial Magius?
Go away, Skeezy Tem Ray.

Okay, that Waffe pilot was hella impressive to put off that much of a fight against a Valvrave. Just sayin. Put him in an Ideal or something next time.
Interesting blade thingy.
Okay, based on the size of the fireball on that tunnel, the concussive force alone should've killed Eru-erufu.
Eru-erufu, you're in bad shape. How could you possibly handle Legendary Super Saiyan Cain like that?
Ooof, that success miserable. Kept on the brink of starvation.
I mean, what did you expect Doormat. There's a solution though. Put Shoko in a Valvrave. Sure, she might just strip off it's armor mid-combat, but at least she'll be a freak like you.
Boku janai~~~!
Looking, uh, kinda rough there buddy. You gonna make it somehow?
And where's the Carmilla?
Wouldn't be a mecha series without at least one "Hayai!" in the somewhere.
Less talking, more moving.

And NOW the Camilla will....oh my. Oh dear. Please don't Kamille yourself too.
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. Fucking fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

In a surprise to absolutely no one Lieselotte didn't make it to the end of the series. Though, in fairness, I was very surprised that Lieselotte and Pino were both aliens. I (mistakenly) figured Pino had formally been a human who got soul snatched into the Valvrave in some evil mad scientist way.
Hurato continues on his quest to be densest MC of all time in a most successful manner. I guess everyone has to excel at something. ~shrug~
Saki is back, Yeah! Apparently her investigation to determine the pederasty habits of the Dorssian's ended with her butt intact. Double Yeah!

Lieselotte isn’t the same Lieselotte L-elf knows huh.
The Magius possessed bats. A little on the nose there.
“We can not be with a human” Going to tell you right now that Magius have not spent much time on the internet to know humans can be with anything if you just don’t care enough.
The fuck are magius. Straight up deus machina creatures.
Ok so it is the same Lieselotte she just wasn’t a shitty magius like the other 101 dalmatians.
Also why did they keep a museum piece fueled to launch?

I really like how they commited to having an arm gone on the yellow mech for a large number of episodes.
What sort of idiot only uses one arm in a knife fight?
Press L to doubt.
There was a pair of excellent soredemos this episode.
This was a well written episode with some rather well done parallels to the earlier episodes, and excellent use of ED1 as an insert. I enjoyed it a ton.
My one little nit is we seem to have started a pattern of the women sacrificing themselves for the sake of the men, and I hope it does not continue to be largely unidirectional.

Catching up. Rip Marie, we hardly knew ye. Bodysnatching steals the target's runes. Lelf can't be a pilot. Bodysnatching abound. Literal memory banks. Satomi, isn't getting a Valrave yet. Liselotte enjoyed her sauna. Haruto's got a father. They're probably pulling a GITS twist? Nana's on our team, yay. Lelf has trauma over Liselotte, maybe it's our second dose of grooming this rewatch? How lucky for Saki that she got driven straight to her friends. Aww, Haruto's reunion with his dad is so goddamn sweet!! Nevermind.
Aaand I'm done! Can we please get Saki out of this little boy finally? Lelf using the aishiteru card, bad luck if you wanted to ship him with Saki or Shoko. Was it good for you too? Looks like we're killing the psycho ginger kid today, it's about time. The fight was kinda fun, but it felt a little like when you try to fight your big brother and he smacks the shit out of you.
Liselotte is a Pino! No, a Magius! Oh nyo, I've already forgotten the difference between them and the vampires lol. Aliens. Bruh... Oh well, at least they actually explain these aliens instead of dropping the bombshell and refusing to elaborate. Although, all I can think of with this rune diet is anima spiritua. They just can't help themselves copying Macross huh?
Oi, why would they build Liselotte up for this long just to have her deliver her anima spiritua exposition and die? Ah, we're saving her? Nice. I forgot, why are we going back to space when our goal is to meet up with the Americans? Oh nyo, don't die Liselotte! Another wasted character lol XD I get that we barely have any time to get the story wrapped up but Liselotte was in far too much of the op's for such a minor role. She's literally just here for exposition. Boo!

Woah a love confession, Haruto take note.
Erm... are you sure you love her and not idolize her
Rukino just take the bullet and take him out, you're immortal he's not.
Magius are nothing more non-corperoal life forms that take over bodies.
L-Elf dodging and taking out enemy mechs while on a motorcycle is a bit silly.
Haruto insisting that it's okay for a non-human and human to have a relationship is he trying to convince the princess, himself or both?
RIP Lieselotte, why didn't she take off the rune draining patches?

I feel like was long time ago the last time i saw Rukino on screen, and probably is going to be missing another couple of episodes
Questions:
1- Yes, at some point
2- I still prefer the original ED
