Valvrave the Liberator promo and trailer

Also known as 'Kakumeiki Valvrave'. It will premiere on April 11. Looking forward to it! It's been a while since we haven't seen a good new mecha anime!



Here's another trailer, the battles look awesome!


The story is set the year Shinreki ("True Calendar") 71, when 70% of the human race lives in space due to the development of space cities. Between two major powers — the Dorushia Military Pact Federation and the Atlantic Ring United States (ARUS) — there is a small neutral nation called Jiōru that has prospered economically. The protagonist Haruto (voiced by Ryota Ohsaka), a high school student who lives in Jiōru, encounters the mysterious "forbidden" humanoid weapon Valvrave when the Dorushia army invades.

Two mecha anime to premiere in 2013: Gargantia and Kakumeiki Valvrave

It seems also that there is more of this neo futuristic trend in anime series, mostly of a dystopian theme.

Suisei no Gargantia, an original sci-fi adventure anime written by Gen Urobuchi (Psycho-Pass, Madoka Magica) is the story of a far-future soldier who finds himself stranded on Earth, now a peaceful, forgotten planet submerged beneath its oceans. Fullmetal Alchemist movie 2 director Kazuya Murata is making his series directing debut with the show which is being animated by Production I.G. The series will premiere in April 2013.




Whereas Kakumeiki Valvrave or Valvrave the Liberator, is the mecha anime project by Sunrise Studios slated also for April 2013. With no more details, only the tagline 'Expose the World' gives us a hint.
