I haven't been watching Kakumeiki Valvrave. Sunrise mecha shows are not usually my thing. But on NicoNico someone has posted a four-second clip from episode 8 of Yuuki Aoi's character Renboukouji Akira saying arigatou ("thank you"):【ニコニコ動画】ぁ…あ…ぁり…ぁりが…ぅっ…ゥエッ!?I find this amazingly effective. Others may find it ridiculous. But in any case I can't imagine anyone other than Ao-chan having the daring invention and vocal skill to say the line this way.In the scene, she has been tied up and kept out of commission for a while, and the girl she is speaking with has just come and untied her. The hesitancy arises from her character's shyness: she hardly ever speaks to anyone other than her brother. The girl she is speaking with (Sashinami Shouko) is played by another emerging star, Seto Asami. The clip comes at about the 8:00 mark of episode 8.The comments are: "Read: 'Ar...ga...tou,'" "Cute!" and "Kewt!" Click the three dots at the lower right to hide the comments. The clip takes a few seconds to appear after you click the arrow.
