People always talk about how the first episode was such a swerve and I just... You saw the show's name, right?

You know what show actually managed a twist like that? I hate to give it any credit, but... Valvrave. Sunrise initially promoted it like a traditional mecha show. The first episode is very structurally similar to a first episode of Gundam. Then all of a sudden... vampire shit! Body swapping!

Honestly the craziest thing to me about Valvrave in retrospect is it was directed by the guy who'd go on to direct Gundam Thunderbolt and written by the guy who'd go on to write The Witch from Mercury

Not to mention the lead designer was also the main Gundam designer on Iron Blooded Orphans

What's even crazier with Valvrave is how they even CGI doctored the footage for the original trailer to make the robot look more heroic then it did in the show itself! youtu.be/cbSnPbY6eiA?...
