September, 2013: GeneD [ Already Rated ]

Violence / Gore: There are lots of space mecha battles as par for the genre but people are also shot and stabbed with lots of blood shown. An incident in the first episode is probably the most graphic. Other notable cases are showing the aftermath of a person caught in an explosion and a person in a space suit contorting and the visor filling up with blood.

Nudity / Sexual Content: The girls are shown in the bath/shower a few times, their bottoms are shown but the rest is covered, and a girl is shown for a second randomly fondling a (female) teacher. There's a semi-graphic rape scene, and it's handled really weirdly by the characters involved afterwards. I want to elaborate on this a little so spoiler warning:

spoilerHaruto rapes Saki when when he goes into Valvrave-berserk mode and so she doesn't really resist and later says she doesn't blame him. He feels guilty about it and asks her to marry him. None of their reactions feels realistic and it's not really portrayed in a negative light. The little Valvrave program avatar thing (makes sense if you've seen this far) also reacts with excitement during the scene which is horrible and crass IMO.



Theological themes: First episode spoilers Spoiler: the Valvrave turns you into a space vampire who, so far, seems to be immortal, healing almost instantly from fatal injuries.
