Much better than episode 2. Mainly because they didn't stay in the air giggling as the monster of the week kill people.

Strike Witches and Girls und Panzer are still better thus far.


This. As little hope as I have for Vividred, I think it may still improve a lil.

so far though

I don't know why but for now I put at 1 and dropped it.

The end transformation got me DISGUSTED at how fast and shit it was.

Vividgreen looks pretty awesome XD, but I can't really accept with the rushed plot at end of the episode and cool snake-like thorny alone that was defeated so easily by vividgreen @___@.

I just realized something

Girls in Red,Blue and Green suits...saving the planet from destruction.

This kinda feels like the Powerpuff Girls. And the girls personality matches well too.

Some explanation as to where Akane learned to fight so well is needed.

Also, I demand more Super Robot style fusions and fights.

The fan service is great the only thing that's wrong with it it that the girls are 14 year olds other then that i can't complain.
For those expecting a serious anime this is a anime about 14 year olds saving the world not to mention the ridiculous transformation scenes which you usually see in mahou shoujo anime there is no way this is serious.

This episode felled terribly rushed tho especially considering the previous episode which gave a lot more explanations and was more detailed on the fights.
Also the girl that causes the machines to increase in strength was a member of there class.

Hmm...Wakaba's transformation is not as impressive as Akane's, but it's cool.
I LOVED the kendo fight there.

The evil girl as usual.

When did Akane get good at kendo/swordplay? When she transformed?

Also, I'm enjoying the fanservice. I have never been more proud to be a lolicon.

I have to think this show has a measure of self-awareness and is even making fun of itself and the genre in a weird way. It takes the camp to a ridiculous level, which just makes it awesome. Like "you want fanservice? Then here's two naked girls kissing as they transform! THAT FANSERVICEY ENOUGH FOR YOU?!?!?!"

It's over-the-top, and the action is great. I'm really enjoying it.

Also note that it is about the power of friendship, and the enemies are called "alones." Contrast of closeness vs. isolation.

You could also say that they combined Mahou Shoujo with Voltron-style mecha. Instead of mecha combining to make bigger mecha, it's magical girls combining to make magical women. Once the season is over someone needs to make a tree diagram with all the various combinations of girls.

I also have to say that this was extremely rushed, even for a show like this one. They barely met her, yet she instantly gets another key and docks even more smoothly than Aoi. Wow...

Well, apart from that it was still fun - especially the chase scene with Wakaba and Akane. I just hope the alien fight of the week will be a bit more different next time.

The more I think about it, the more I get the idea that this is a show that deliberately winks at the audience. Just think about the Tomato thing from the last episode. They tease you that Aoi has some dark secret she's been hiding from Akane and then it's just that she doesn't like tomatoes. Then in this episode it doesn't even matter for the docking sequence that they be good friends. It doesn't really have set internal logic, but I don't think that's the point of the show. The point is to be over-the-top ridiculous and campy and actiony and fun, and it's definitely accomplishing that.

This show really has no pretences about itself! I love it!

I puts me in mind of Moetan in how it unashamedly parodies all the battle and maho shoujo shows.

Pure pure pulp!

Pretty good episode, I like the addition of Saegusa (although it was so sudden. They just met that morning. I found myself thinking can I have a key, too?). The fight wasn't really much of a fight, but it was epic and I like her weapon.
5/5.

Truly much too rushed.

Watching this show so far, immediately brought the idea of
Power Ranger (The girl in the black shooting the arrow to make the Alones stronger) and Sailor Moon (transformation).

I don't know why I watch this but this is enjoyable. Loving the soundtrack.

Alright episode, but the only things bothering me are:

1. What happened to the flying bike after Akane crashed it?

2. Where did Aoi go during the fight with the alone? (After she was knocked back the first time...)

And stuff that's already been said like:

How they didn't see the arrow of light being shot and how did Wakaba know the commands of transform when she knows nothing about alones / never dealt with it.

Ah well, still a enjoyable series.

Part of this show is so random but I can't say that I didn't like it. Next episode we'll see the fourth girl and then I want the rest of the episodes to deliver good action and plot.

LOLTHINKINGTOOMUCH

1)Damn! The bike fused with her suit! But.. why did it even break in the first place, that would be a better question.
It gets its power from the manifestor engine, the same as the vividgear, which definitely usese more energy.

2)She was still there, but was sidelined, because VIVIDGREEN.

Anyway, here more questions to ponder.

-Why was Green-chan worried about losing a fight when there was a super-powered-flying-girl.

-Doesn't fusing require a deep bond
(Chasing someone around for ~1 hour doesn't = Deep bond)

-Why does bumping into someone require you to take them to the nurses office.

-How can Akane be so powerful even without her gear. She should be super weak.

-Why did Akane greet a pair of robotic binoculars (I know its yellow-chan, but why?)

-Why was gramps standing outside the bathroom so creepily while his granddaughters where bathing.

This series is awesome! Everyone seems to be wondering how Wakaba knew how to dock from the start, but I just assumed that the displays hovering in front of her as it was mentioned explained it to her, and she doesn't seem like the type to hesitate once she's in on something. I'm enjoying it too much to crack my head over it.

I love the Kirito-level dual wielding Akane did. One thing I can't help noticing though, is that while everyone seems to dock with Akane, the fusion takes on the color of the not-Akane. As the title of the show is Vividred Operation, does that mean Akane has to dock with herself to become Vividred? (Yeah self kissing)

There's a new character. Their new school's outfit consists of bloomer-like short shorts lmao. All the guys there have the advantage lol. So far for love-interest matters it doesnt seem like they'll all be fighting for a guy soon unless you count the grandfathers perversion and good tastes on picking out middle school girls with the ability to risk their lives to kill some 'Alones'.

The girl with the violet hair is in her class too, i wonder what alliances she has with the alones, Saegusa is tiring to look at, she chases you around if you dont say yes to her sigh. At least this anime had the decency to leave them with underwear rather than bareback while transforming, i know i'll never get tired of seeing it

Omg the new docking outfit is wayy too sexy for me. I wonder what its called, a mini kimono? Gah its frustrating not knowing i wish i was japanese. So far the docking consits of someone kissing Akane or Akane kissing someone. Maybe all four of them would dock at the same time i wonder how the transformation would look like

This anime has he best transformation overall the other anime's with transformations in them lmao

This ep felt a bit rushed... oh well~ I guess it's better than getting 4 slow episodes with almost the same pattern just to introduce the girls.

And I'm starting to like Vivid Green more than Vivid Blue :D
