This couple?, I like em the most as well.

Also, anime's full anime is Valkyrie Drive Mermaid
Social game's Valkyrie Drive Siren
Console game's Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni

I kind of attribute it to the coloring. In my opinion, Valkyrie Drive Siren's couple has the brightest design and outlook, which makes them really appealing. Now I hope more details for the anime's characters and other stuff will be unveiled in time! Quite excited about it. ^_^

Earlier on the thread we were discussing about Neptunia and the Uni x Nepgear pairing. Well, i just found about one game (I think is Neptunia U) where Gear outright says to Uni that she loves her

It's probably U, in Mk2 and R2 Nepgear is the main character and gain Lily Level with the other girls, from what I read in U you can do that with all girls not just Nepgear.

I watched it, Nepgear uses daisuki and call Uni tomodachi, and Uni uses suki, isn't suki and daisuki used between friends? or they're also used romantically? could anyone who knows japanese explain the difference?

It leaves room for ambiguousness ,the only one I am certain you don't just tell to people is the "ashiteruyo" that's like... the only one for sure,ha but usi and daisuki can mean they like someone or even something like,icecream so meow

Generally when you see a character who doesn't understand that he's being confessed that's because the one who confess use "suki". In a shoujo manga if a guy/girl is confessed that way, he generally know it's meant romantically... unless he/she's supposed to be the extremely naive and innocent type.

Did a little more digging, the clip is indeed from U and while every pairing has a special conversation at max lily rank that conversation is the only one with is a straight up confession.

The way Nepgear says daisuki seen to be a little innocent and she also uses tomodachi, but Uni hesitates a little when she says suki, did you see the video trafi? what do you think? and they have a lot of subtext in the other games, but I'm didn't play them yet so maybe Nepgear is not so innocent as she looks, could anyone who played other Neptunia give their opinion?

If this is the only one with a confession they were definitely planning to give subtext/almost text in there, and Uni x Nepgear is probably the couple with most subtext, a shame they will probably never go full text in any game, but even so I shall ship them even more now!

And this thread quickly became about Neptunia... Anyone have new information about Valkyrie Drive?

The way I understand it is that every game takes place in a different like, parallel universe so her actions and personality in different games don't actually mean anything in regards to her personality in that game.

Yeah each game is a parallel universe, but their personalities don't really change much, if they change at all, only because of that we don't have any real text except RED, who is the only openly lesbian in the series.

Not being ultra optimistic, but it's gonna be better than Cross Ange, at least.

What are you saying, Cross Ange was awesome. Ange being a socipath was incredible to watch.

When he said that it's was probably about the yuri in Cross Ange that was nothing more than bait and the fact that Valkyrie Drive looks like it will have real yuri, maybe..., I didn't watch it yet but Cross Ange seens to be good, but it's yuri is horrible.

Treating yuri like shit makes it a horrible anime in my eyes so I meant both, actually.

Can't really argue about that in case of Cross Ange, even though it did have a real lesbian side coulple the yuri fanservice was too much to the point of being offensive, fortunately I'm able to turn my yuri googles off and enjoy it, just not sure yet if being able to do that is a good thing or not...

And we don't know yet how the yuri will be on Valkyrie Drive, sure the fanservice will be heavy like Senran Kagura, but as long it have real yuri that's not a problem.

Expected but no the only thing talked about.

They also mentioned the project being in the works since last year and some influences it has.

That got plenty of laughs from me, shame that they picked what it could be the worst game on the franchise.

Oh wow I totally missed the gay umbrella when I watched it yesterday.

The giant boobs and ridiculous school outfits are detractor, but I'm going to watch it anyway.
