According to an article on a website called fapservice (not linking because nsfw), the anime will avoid Nipple and Dimed.

[up]Holy hell, that sounds insanely cool. And the Drive mechanic also sounds really, really cool.

There will be a Nico Nico stream this weekend showcasing Valkyrie Drive

https://twitter.com/valkyriedrive/status/625558483056791554

I'm not sure is it will tackle the three projects or just the anime but at least we should get some new info.

Awesome. Will there be an inevitable backup mirror of the stream since I may well end up missing it?

That's an excellent question, so far the project has been pretty lowkey on gaming and anime sites. I sure hope there is a backup mirror though.

The anime site got an update and the profiles for the new characters have been added. There's also a schedule for the stream available and it seems Takaki will have a section focused on him at the 22:00 hrs

Maybe I missed the information, but what kind of game(s?) is VD anyway? Is is going to be a beat-em-up like Senran Kagura or is it something different?

Seems like is taking the bases of the Tag system introduced on SK 2 and building from here.

we won't know for sure until an actual trailer is released (with any luck on Saturday's stream)

Preorders for the Vita game are live

Also, it seems there will be Senran Kagura related news on the VD stream for some reason

The stream came and go but not a lot of new info was revealed.

Release dates were confirmed, October for the anime, December 10th for the Vita game and the mobile game some time between those two dates. Also it seems like we will not be getting any cross over of girls from one work to the others (Mermaid, Bhikkhuni, and Siren). (Contrary to the trailer we've all seen). Potentially good news: If all three sell well and get good reviews we could potentially see future seasons/games that encompass the characters from the other platform(s).

No gameplay for Bhikhunhi so we'll have to wait until the TGS for that. A new PV was revealed for the anime, and it looks pretty damn cool, more action oriented that I expected.

So for now all three versions of the series will end up being separate/alternate continuities. I guess that makes sense.

But meh, without gameplay videos it's hard for me to get behind this series at the moment. Part of what got me into SK was the fact that it was (at the time) one of the few beat-em-up titles on the 3DS that turned out to be really fun to play as well. So right now, there's not much that's really selling VD to me yet, but I'll continue to be patient.

[up]Yeah, is a pretty weird way to handle a new IP. I mean, preorers for the game are already open but we only have some magazine's articles about it. I'd expected a trailer at the least

I see lots of "UN" assets in the PV.
