C'mon guys, don't be so pessimistic. We need to get that crossover between the three projects!

Having said that, I'm only asing it for having some substance on its plot and characterizations. Not having fanservice just for fanservice's sake.

At least there are some pretty nice fanart

Holy shit

Yuka Iguchi and Mikako Izawa will be hosting the "Valkyrie Drive: Radio Mermaid" program on HiBiKi Radio. They'll be talking about the series, and will probably sometimes have guests on the show and such. They'll also be responding to fan letters every week and stuff like that.
They'll be posting every Tuesday starting October 13th.

They're not cutting corners to promote Mermaid

I simply love Mirei

Lewd!

Yup, is just a glorified ad for the anime.

Six days!

Passionate isn't the word I'd use Is more of a compromise to finally get revenge on Mason Plus, with the series ending she's the only one to have a "happy" ending

The series takes a ton of liberties with the original material and is one of its biggest advantages.

That was so cute. I hope the series keeps being like that.

Also, damn, censorship is becoming increasingly horrible D:

The art direction is outstanding imo.

Agreed, and even more impressively, each season is actually better than the last, instead of as good as or, more commonly, worse.

That's what happens when the showrunners have a clear idea of the direction the series will take. Supernatural's first five seasons are one of the best on the series for that same reason.

Wow, sudden (implied) sex in the end.

This was a very peculiar story.

I'm trying not to think of Hannibal Lecter and it's not working. xD

Well, that's the Hannibal we're talking about :P

Also no to female body builders. Ew. When they start looking like He-man with Barbie's head it's gross. Girl's with fit bodies can be nice looking though.

Indeed, someone like this is my perfect woman

2d though, there's no one better than Daidouji

That is an important part for certain demographic but the series is a pretty solid crime procedural/horror show.

Some of the murders depicted get a bit too silly on their complexity though.

That's really heartwarming. I hope things worked out for them

Haven't watched the series because the whole lesbian-having-passionate-sex-with-some-dude-to-get-pregnant thing kinda put me off. It's like turkey basters don't even exist. And if the show has to go with passionate sex, the writers should just make her bisexual.

The one who gets pregnant IS bisexual.

I wholeheartedly agree... But bodybuilders are a bit too much for myself =|

As long they aren't Schwarzenegger tier of bodybuilder I'm fine.

Personally I think there's nothing sexier than some well defined muscles on a woman. Toned abs drive me crazy.

Said character also appears in Hannibal (the book), where she's actually a bodybuilder.

Well now I HAVE to track down the book :v

Hannibal's second and third season have a pretty important lesbian sidecharacter

I don't know if it has been brought before (thread has gotten quite big) but has Y: The Last Man been mentioned?

Is a comic book series published on 2002 by DC under their Vertigo imprint. The premise is that one day all the mammal with a x chromosome on the world die due an epidemic, except by the protagonist, Yorick and his capuchine monkey Ampersand.

The series follows Yorick on his quest to found what made him inmune to the disease so the male gender can be restored. As the premise suggests, there's quite a lot of lesbian characters involved. Just keep in mind that the series deals with a dystopic setting where the aftermath of all the men dying in a male-oriented society is explored and thus, the whole thing presents all kind of lesbian characters.

This was glorious, great art, lovable characters, sexy. I really can't wait for the next chapter

they are really putting a lot into this.

You have no idea.
