A deep review of the second season of Valvrave the Liberator: The appeal of the evolved story and characters

The appeal and evaluation of "Valvrave the Liberator 2nd Season"

"Valvrave the Liberator 2nd Season" is a TV anime series that aired on Mainichi Broadcasting System (MBS) from October 11 to December 27, 2013. The series is based on an original story and was animated by Sunrise and directed by Ko Matsuo. It has 12 episodes, each 30 minutes long, and features a story and characters that leave a strong impression on viewers.

Story and setting

Continuing from the first season, "Valvrave the Liberator 2nd Season" tells the story of the people living on the extraterrestrial planet "Doras". The protagonist, Haruto Tokishima, pilots a powerful robot called Valvrave and throws himself into the battle to protect Doras. The second season depicts the secrets revealed in the first season and battles with new enemies, making the story even deeper.

Of particular note is the concept of "Counter" that the pilots of the Valvrave have. This is the power that pilots gain by piloting the Valvrave, but at the same time, they lose something in exchange. The existence of this "Counter" enriches the portrayal of the characters' psychology and the drama.

character

Tokishima Haruto: The main character and pilot of Valvrave. In the first season, the secret he is hiding is revealed, and in the second season, he continues to fight while facing that secret. His growth and conflict are at the center of the story.

Kirie Tokishima, Haruto Tokishima's childhood friend, is also an important character. She supports Haruto and sometimes guides him. Kirie's presence has a big influence on Haruto's actions and decisions.

In addition, the pilots of Valvrave and the characters on the enemy side are portrayed with individuality, and their backgrounds and feelings are carefully depicted. The drama of these characters is a major factor that draws the viewer into the story.

Animation and Music

Sunrise's animation productions are full of visual appeal, such as the power of the battle scenes and the detailed expressions of the characters. In particular, the design and movements of Valvrave are visually very impressive, drawing viewers in.

Music is also an important element in enhancing the appeal of this work. The opening theme "Kakumei Dualism" and the ending theme "Kokoro no Memory" not only enhance the atmosphere of the story, but are also songs that leave a deep impression on the viewers. The background music is also used effectively to match the battle and drama scenes, enriching the viewing experience.
