OMG Marie!... yea that's right, you can't kill her... That was a nice shot though. Maybe she was a test pilot 5 years ago?


Going by the typical anime tropes...$20 says that her father and/or mother was involved in building/designing the Valvraves.

Then again, it seems like people don't die when they're shot in this anime, so I guess there's nothing to worry about. :p

Pretty much this. But you know it's so fucked up that you can't really not enjoying it.

Probably, although I could see her being an "earlier" version of the vampires rather than that. Maybe she was changed by the male valvrave instead of the female one.

I liked the look of surprise on Marie's face and the tone of her voice when Haruto confessed his secret. It seemed as if it was not the answer she was expecting.

With the unusual amount of screentime she's been having, I can't say I didn't half-expect her to suddenly get killed like Aina... but the fact that she had a past with Pino meant it was also possible she was already one of "them space vampires" (can't remember the term). Connecting the dots, she may very well be an ex-test pilot for VVVI.

Hundreds of years later in the episode prologue, what we see together with Saki and the mysterious boy... is Satomi?! Say what? Bring on the possibility of everyone else becoming immortals so they don't have to worry about survival in hostile territory... It's crazy enough that it might just happen in this anime.

That kind of makes sense. Saki says at the start of this episode that while body does not age, souls do(as in experience). And quite a lot of us said that Marie acts a lot more older than she should be.

It isn't so much that Marie acts older than she should be (she is the same age as her classmates) as much as she does not appear to be as old as she should be. Her assumed age should be correct, but we are now being told that she has (and will keep) the body of an 11 year old.


I don't think you understood me.

What I said was Marie's behavior and stance is far more "adult" than her body is. She's far more reserved in her behavior than average vvv teenager, far more direct in her questions. She might not remember her past but that does not change her mental age(the same way people with amnesia still act appropriate to their age most of times).

My point was that we don't yet have reason to believe that she is older than her classmates. If she was changed when she was 11, and she met Pino 5 years ago, then she would actually be a 16 year old like her classmates (thus the only difference between her and her classmates is the 'age' of her body, not that she is more of an adult). But I see the point you are trying to make. I wasn't watching the first season looking at her as oddly young appearing (by anime standards she really doesn't stand out compared to the numerous characters out there who look 10+ years younger than they are).

You call him stupid yet you cant understand why he is hesitant to tell her and call him dickless yet he risked his life to save Akira last episode....

People fear and hate what they don't understand. If everyone finds out that Haruto and his fellow pilots aren't human, it could potentially cause everyone to fall apart out of fear and anger of them being practically aliens. They need to keep everything on an need to know basis for as long as they can. For anyone else to know right now would cause chaos and dissension among the team, and even among the pilots who haven't yet grasped that they're no longer human anymore.

Very interesting episode with quite a bunch of new developments and new revelations.

Linking the future part with the present part, we can deduce that

The first human Kamitsuki became so at 11. This matched with Marie's age 5 years before the present part. So most probably she was some experimental subject and became the first successful human magius and piloted the red Valvrave. Pino, in whatever form, possibly consume Marie's memory as runes, which is one reason why she lost her memory until she was taken off the program 2 years ago. Also, we could see that besides Saki, Satomi the council president also still lives 200 years later - the question is how he became an immortal (i.e. magius) when he is not one now. And from how Satomi corrected the prince's addressing him as Renbo (should be Renboukouji !), we can also deduce that most likely Akira also lives on 200 years later and is being addressed by the prince as Kyoubo-sama (Godmother).
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Marie getting shot in the head surprised me because it came out of nowhere, but I wasn't surprised that L-Elf would do something as rash as that. Such a clean headshot too. lol

So one thing that has somewhat bothered me. Why does Haruto choose to only suck L-Elf's blood? That seems like that is going towards yaoi. If I was a Vampire, I would be sucking the blood of sexy women and I would make it sexy. That's as long as they wouldn't die. lol

I'm loving this series though.

From the beginning sequence of the ep, it was pretty easy to figure out what would happen. They discuss the "first" kamitsuki and say that she was 11 years old when she became one, and also mentioned that they do not age. Once Pino recognized her, it was easy to deduce (they even made a point of having Marie reference her 'flatness' in the previous episode with Akira to further get the point across that she was under-developed, which would make sense if she was permanently in the body of an 11 year old).

Leio said:
What if Marie was the girl Saki she mentioned as 'humanity's first Kamitsuki at the age of 11'. Since she has no memory 5 years ago, it might make sense.

And it seems Saki might've married Rembokouji (who became a Kamitsuki, too) in the future, since she's the Godmother of that prince and Rembokouji said she has the same surname as he.


Part 1: correct.
Part 2: I'm not getting that feeling yet. Children often have multiple god-parents, so it is likely that the one he is referencing is Akira.


Possible, but I think the 'Godmother' Rembokouji is referring to is Saki.

Marie being part of the special breed doesn't surprise me especially after the talk with Haruto's Operating system of his Valvrave.
I wonder how this will effect him tho, he was shocked by the shot of L-Eleven but judging from his looks L-Eleven was just as surprised about it.

Anyone who didn't expect her to get up after her conversation with the little rape OS and having someone like L-Elf shooting at her at a time when she was just developing should go shoot themselves cause their brain capacity is non existence.
It was as certain she will get up as the sun rising in the morning.

5/5

After a long time, return to view this anime, but it is not a problem, because I do not have time to think so much good plot and engaging storytelling.
Plot that leads us to discover a new piece of the past L-Elf and also what lies behind Marie unexpectedly, but the most interesting thing for me, is the beginning of the story! * _ *
Narrative with well-chosen times, there is no rush and is difficult to understand everything that happens, then there are so many twists that make it so addictive, Yay! : D
Drawings and animations very good, Sunrise has worked well with the CG mecha! ^ _ ^
Satisfied, I can not wait to finish the series, now that it's over!

Holy shit! I thought for sure Marie died right there and now. IT was a clean perfect headshot! So I guess Marie isn't human too. She's a kamitsuki? Maybe this has something to do with her losing her memory and why Pino knows her. I really interested in her past. Damn L-Elf?! Couldn't you just tell her to be quiet and not tell anyone about it instead of freaking shooting her in the head. Damn is he cold! The new OP and ED are starting on grow on me. Great episode!

I had a feeling Marie would survive. She's a mysterious girl that somehow has a past with the Valvraves considering how that AI knows her. So to kill her off would mean questions left unanswered. Although I had a feeling L Elf would be mad and interrupt their conversation.

The opening scene looked like Satomi and Saki spending time with their child with whitish hair which looks like L Elf.

The future scenes at the beginning of episodes are bothering me... I feel that if I didn't see someone there then they probably died or something.

When Marie took a bullet in her temple I was like yeah bitch that's kinda your fault for butting in too much in other people's business. But then she.... wow.

So Marie knows Pino the OS. I hope we get to learn more about these two in the future. That point blank headshot was soo clean.

I was surprised that L-Elf shot Marie, but what didn't surprise me was the fact that she didn't 'die'. Her past is still unknown, and she had some form of connection to that OS or whatever, so it was somewhat implied that she'd possess some sort of power as well. Still curious about that kid in the beginning tho. If it is L-Elf and Saki's son, then I've changed my mind, I don't really mind at all if they get together, but I don't think that'll be the case. We did see the princess an episode or 2 ago, so it could potentially be L-Elf and that princess' son???? who knows. But from the looks of how this anime is turning out, it seems like Haruto's probably going to die in the end. Yes, he is immortal, but he's probably gonna end up finding an 'end' to that curse thing or w/e, which will most likely result in his death; calling it rn.

The biggest problem with the show is that the characters make so many mistakes that wuld cost them everything in a scenario even 5% more realistic. Then they can only be saved through enemy stupidity and deus ex machina.
