Almost deliciously bad. I can't tell if they're just trying to make her hateful or what, but it's hilarious.

Hmm if Liseolte (or however you spell her name) was a Magius, how did she age? She's clearly older than she was in the flashbacks with L-Elf. Or was the girl that L-Elf rescued taken over by a Magius later on? And if so why doesn't L-Elf realize that?

The magius are like ghosts or spectres or something and they just inhabit human bodies. The bodies still age, the magius itself doesn't.

22 - Fist of the Moon
The skyrocketing EruHaru levels made this really interesting and intense. Moon scenes with the feelings coming out to eventually declaring their final real wishes was good progress and development to position us for some ending. Final four minutes were worth rewatching again and again.

I didnt think Haruto's rune levels were THAT low that he had to make those claims though. He ought to still have quite a few if the last scene with saw him lose it was just the cave memory back when they were really young
Yep. The actual Liselotte was swapped in an old body when she was very young (you can see it in a flashback) and probably died off somewhere soon after. L-Elf never met her, he only knew the Magius-posessed Liselotte.

BLITZENDEGEN!
akiras brother "EAT ME IF YOU WANT was lol. it was also pretty neat to see thunder attaching inuzukas shield to his unit in place of the arm he was missing. although as soon as he got even a little screen time/development i knew he was a goner. so to see q-vier take him out wasnt surprising. speaking of that little psycho, i thought it was hilarious to see l-elf, a-drei, and x-eins teaming up WITHOUT him.
AND L ELF!!!! EXPOSING THE TRUTH! that was totally bad ass, especially with the music accompanying it. well now, with one last episode, and haruto losing memories of shoko at a super fast pace, i really dont think he will make it out of the fight with cain. sure he will most likely win it, but most likely at the cost of his own life.
still want to know who knocked up my girl saki tho.

I love Valvrave, but the mecha design in the show is truly hideous. The designs are not just ugly, but they showcase the most overindulgent examples of trying to make complex designs "cool" without any logical thought.
The final boss mech shown here is a great example of EVERYTHING wrong with the thought process behind the design in the show:
- Each hand has TEN fingers
- There are FOUR extra mini-arms at the crotch area
- Each mini-arm is holding a secret DAGGER
- There are FOUR extra limb things attached to the two main arms
- Bunch of random crap all over the mech to make it seem more detailed
*BARF*

Q-vier was amazing
What, the daggers are so cool. Imagine if it could have swords even.

when he just put that shield out then did the little jump with his lags and blasted through the whole, Incredible

It's quite weird-looking, but this sort of thing reminds me of certain "Final Boss" designs from JRPGs.
Apparently there's also a theory that maybe it can split up into multiple smaller robots or something.

you are wrong about everything
this is VVV and everything you described about this design is the embodiment of this show
I've just found out about this series (though it seems to be ending soon), while looking around. I'm a big fan of mecha, but I haven't watched many shows with them -- mostly Gurren Lagann and Pacific Rim, which I both loved, though I'm planning to watch more shows with friends.
Is this show worth watching? The premise seems interesting, but I don't know much else about the series. Recommend me some good points about it.

It's so stupid it's amazing is the official verdict. You should watch it. And make sure to not miss any post-credits sequences.
Oh, and it has way better characters than Pacific Rim.
I feel like It knows it's stupid action, and it doesn't pretend to be otherwise, unlike Guilty Crown. Just enough plots to get going, silly plots, but characters behave almost consistent (fuck Shoko). Give me Aquarion's vibe.
Hmm...I'm sold, I love stupid-but-amazing. I'll watch a few episodes and see if I like it.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!
Finale!? There is so much that needs to be tied up though.
The episode aired like 2 hours ago I think. There's already raws out there.
Reading some discussions going on in other forums:
Seems like there's quite a few things left unresolved.
I'd actually say the Valvrave finale was kind of mediocre, in terms of lacking enough surprises to make it exciting, but more or less being what I expected to see.
There was some nice action involved though nothing really special. Most of the loose ends were connected to the future setting, which they only tangentially addressed, but the present stuff was almost too predictable in its resolution.
You could argue it was a fitting way to conclude a specific season yet not quite satisfying as the ultimate series finale.
The episode had some good scenes and decent one-liners, but in the end this ride ended with a bit of a whimper rather than a standing ovation.
Most of it was fun though, so perhaps I shouldn't be so stingy at this time.

So long, Haruto! It's not like we couldn't already tell you were going to lose memories and die or anything!

Most of the present story was resolved, but it was just... boring. No surprising twists or developments. The battle was well animated, but it really shouldn't have taken most of the episode.
Large parts of the future stuff weren't addressed, even some basic information that seemed like it'd obviously explained (
) remained unexplained.

Final episode
edit > Scratch that, after a few minutes it's starting to sink into me that i'm just deluding myself
That was... strangely conclusive. Not the best ending ever, but I feel they did a really impressive job tying all the loose ends in those last two episodes and especially this one, even if the end montage DID feel a bit rushed and we still don't know that much about the future... But nothing asks for it really, I guess.
It's too bad though, I wanted them to do a 3 season or something to go a bit slower... I guess the sales are too bad to warrant that.

Anywhere I can watch this (with subs) other than hulu? I'm out of town and on my phone and I have ad blocking software installed on my phone so hulu doesn't work. I can make it through the first segment but once the commercials come on, I can't go further.
Edit: I found a link to watch it

Episode 24 Revolution to the Future
Probably my favorite line of dialogue in the episode as well was L-elfs line
Mixed feeling overall on things as it just felt like there could have been more pomp and circumstance, bells and whistles, and just like even the Golden Harakiri Blade ought to have been used. But it was still fun and intense though questionable in the writing department for me.
Will definitely buy when Aniplex USA releases it here, hopefully on BD and dub. In my top three mech after Fafner. Gundam Wing/Star Driver.

he was my friend there when Haruto runes were depleted
Did Haruto really need to leak all those runes in such fast succession when past episodes he didnt? And Q-vier, seriously? That was just so sudden and he was such a good character in terms of skills and personality, that just came out of nowhere and was so saddening
Hopefully the son is from a mixing of the genetic material from Haruto having Bodyjacked L-elf and some of it remaining when he was in him those multiple times.

Fuck this show. One of the worst cases of "throw shit at the audience and see if it sticks" I've seen from an anime in a while. At least it's over.
I'm so sorry.
