Comet Lucifer episode 2 went from moe antics to a bunch of dudes getting bloodily shanked in less than 0.6 seconds. It seems like the main cast and everyone else are in two different shows but it's interesting enough to keep watching. Also the main robot actually being 'alive' isn't something that's done very often. I hope someone explains what the deal is with the world at large sometime soon though.

I've been wondering about this recently, what other anime are there where the giant robot has a personality and is part of the cast? I couldn't really find anything like that other than maybe Donyatsu, but I was thinking more along the lines of a typical mecha show with pilots and such.

I'm enjoying Comet Lucifer so far. The story summary didn't seem all that interesting at first but I'm glad I gave this a try.
The bits with Felia climbing all over the furniture and Kaon being like a mom/big sis to her were cute

I wasn't prepared for Valkyrie Drive. I thought the people calling it porn were exaggerating, but it turns out that they weren't.

It's porn.

Sakurazuka posted:

Gross, ugly looking porn too, apart from line the two main characters.

Fanservice aside, I think the premise is interesting and the leads are solid enough to carry the show. I hope is succesful and we get them as playable on an hypotetical game sequel.

hey anime experts

where did the whole bandaged up arm with a demon sealed in it thing start? i feel like i see more parodies of it than straight faced uses nowadays so it has to have been around for a while. is there precedent in mythology or something

Grim Up North posted:

Agreed, however I get most of my entertainment re: Valkyrie Drive from esteemed forums poster "DarkTitzHime":

quote:

These girls don't just turn into weapons, they turn into monsters if not properly restrained by a liberator. The liberator serves as a host, who is also an infected herself.

Without proper treatment, infected women would kill their male partner during sex and or upon losing their sanity.

By fighting with each other, they reduce their stress and maintain their sanity, at a cost. They grow stronger and less humane, although sapience and what is considered to be a human is still there.

While a Liberator is as good as the training she receives, while physically enhanced it is the extasis or weapon she wields that makes her what she is. If certain conditions are met, the liberator and extasis can "merge" into a symbiote or a F-Class Threat.

The Zone of the Enders TV series and all of the Brave shows that GaoGaiGar was part of, off the top of my head.

Droyer posted:

Most of the Brave shows have robots with personalities, since they were made to capitalize on Transformers' success in Japan. If you want to check them out GaoGaiGar is generally considered the best one, and also the only one that's legally available outside Japan.

dogsicle posted:

e: ah, Droyer got it
Gaogaigar and (I think?) Da Garn have sentient robots that join or are part of the cast.

oh okay, are they trying to scientifically justify the yuri, is that what's happening now

anime i thought we had a code of honor going, you were being decent thus far at not trying to explain away the lesbianism by being all 'oh they'd be straight were it not for x'

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:

Well, those are just rumors so far. And quite frankly, I don't think any of the couples shown in the first episode can be called straight. Specially Mirei and Mamori.

OPM anime thread got gassed but right now all the real discussion's going on in the manga thread anyway so there's that.

You know usually when a thread here gets gassed it makes sense, because the show was going to be toeing the line in the best of cases. How the hell did goons screw this one up?
