 |
aiNkyy said: Season 2 anyone ? Nah , though I think if there were to have an additional episodes it would be OVAs , where they clear up the relationship thingy and what happened after the finale/ |
| Well that was a fun show to watch. I think I would like to check out the other sides of the Muv-Luv story now. Happy birthday Cryska indeed! |

| Used to be TheSethAffect |
| I didn't like the way it ended, I would be okay with it if there will be a second season but if it really ended like without yui even confessing her feelings it would suck and they even introduced a new character at the end that could be possibly be the villain for a second season. I sure hope that there will be one or an OVA or something but please don't end like this. |
| wowww! I Can't Believe they all lived!! I was reallyy scared when the Scarlet Twins "killed" Yuuya. Who's blood was that anyway?!! the ending was sooo cheezy ahahah ! They saluted each other?!? I hope they make more Muv Luv stuff its really interesting :) |

Araragi93 said: aiNkyy said: Season 2 anyone ? I don't think so, they even changed the original ending, and remember that this series's just a huge advertisement for the upcoming visual novel. Anyway I did enjoy this series, it was amusing as hell and I will miss it. I guess most of the fans didn't like it since they were expecting something like Alternative and instead they got a bad sop opera full of QUALITY. It's quite a pity considering that it's funny to watch if you forget that it's related to MLA. If that's the case then do you think that the upcoming VN will be a continuation of this? That's the only way that I might actually get it. |
| It's not goodbye.... it's see you later, right? |
| Ok™ |
| One of the worst anime I've watched in recent history. I started watching this because I heard it suppose to be good because of VN hype but then I got a mecha/harem hybrid that was terrible. I had too high expectations because of the first few episodes and I always told myself that its gonna get good eventually but that never happened. 4/10 |

 |
| Not the best ending, but they left things open for a continuation which is great and it was good overall as well |
| Meh..... Shitty ending..... But it's not like I expected anything better...... :P Final Episode - 2.5/5 Series - 6/10 (I'm being generous here) |
 |
| Why does wikipedia mention 26 eps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muv-Luv |
| Weird last episode for me somehow...suddenly the twins got evil and everything is solved in the first 5-10 Minutes with the rest being boring epilogue. |
 |
twonline said: Meh..... Shitty ending..... But it's not like I expected anything better...... :P Final Episode - 2.5/5 Series - 6/10 (I'm being generous here) Sure. Pouf, more bad anime is this. |
| I doubt there will be more muv-luv but I would watch it if another season came out. It was kinda good at the beginning, got pretty lame throughout the middle, and then was kinda good at the end. The actual finale was pretty lame given there was little to no mecha battle intensity and the whole hidden Russian plot was never really talked about. The "cliff hanger" was resolved after the credits. The only thing to continue on is the whole Russian underplot and the romance. Idk if that is enough to push it for another season... |
| So... that's it? I'm glad everyone made it in the end, although I'm pretty curious about that Russian plan they were talking about. They really want to get Yui out of the way too huh? I'm disappointed that there is no conclusion to the whole love triangle. Yui officially declared Cryska as a rival in love though. Overall an OK series. Nothing too special, but enjoyable enough. I wonder if we'll see a second season of this. 7/10. |

I had too high expectations because of the first few episodes and I always told myself that its gonna get good eventually but that never happened. 4/10 That's because the story that was hyped wasn't this one. The story that was hyped was Muv Luv Alternative. This is a side story to Muv Luv Alternative, not the main story. There wasn't a chance this story was going to match up to the main story and anyone who dared think so is a confirmed idiot. Many fans just wanted it to be good enough to get the real story adapted. Me? I wanted animated TSFs and BETA battles, and I got em. I say it was a decent anime. Certainly not as bad as some of the unmentionables. I certainly consider it better than Eureka seven AO. I say screw a season season of this. Give me animated Alternative instead. I am not going to say Alternative was a absolutely perfect story, it does have some glaring flaws, but if they manage to capture the feel of the VN then it would be a damn entertaining watch. |

I'd also love MLA to be animated but I just know it just won't work out great and might end up as another Tsukihime. This episode was pretty good, has nice TSF actions and lots of Berkut screentime. They managed to stop the BETA from crossing the Red Shift and lol@ riding on Magnus Lux Laser Class! Nice moments of Yuuya and Cryska in the aftermath. Did anyone notice the ending scene is the same one that was showed in the age's 10th Anniversary PV? The one where Cryska and Yui were talking at the gate. Guessing the producers didn't wanted the anime to end in a cliff hanger where Silvio's random cameo:  Honestly this series was an enjoyable ride. It doesn't live up to the Muv Luv Trilogy VN but I still enjoyed it. The first 2 episode did good introducing the BETA-world to the audience and showing the grimdark setting humanity has to live in with only 1billion people left on earth. Then the anime got too focused on fanservices and harem that it started going downhill... then it picked up again on the Terrorist Attack on Yukon base. I'd give it a good 7.5/10 score, rounding it off to 7/10. Welp, lets cross our finger that they'll animate TSFiA or Euro Front in OVA format next. |
| Ofc there will be a S2 lol. Nice ending, but where's this "awkward" kiss that I am hearing about? |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
Look again , they only posted 24 , 2 Episodes was the Specials (Not officially aired) and the Pre-climax.

Cause it's gonna be related with the VN game anyway , I guess it gives the fans a more curious question who gets Yuuya in the end. |
| Was expecting more out of the ending. A lot of twists in the finale but the firecracker did not explode. Too many plot twists tbh. Some of them felt forced. Not a fan of the CG mecha, some inconsistency and poorly drawn animations, and heavily censored on the deaths. Of course this will be fixed in the BDs, hopefully. I was a fan of the theme songs but not so much with the sound design. Its that anime that looked promising but at the end, its just an average one. E.T. LAZERZ out of 10. |

| Disappointing. Especially the first part was crap. (Should be expected by the certain director.) |
| Enjoyed the last episode more than i thought i would. I'd definitely watch a 2nd season. On a side note, anyone know what the song was they used at the end of the episode, when Yui was leaving and saying goodbye to Yuuya (The piano song)?  |

| First and last few episodes were very good. Everything in between was pretty meh. 5/10 |
| Darn it they didn't show Yui getting shot at the end. |

| Spoilers are errywhere! >__> Anyway, this show is 7/10. It was enjoyable join some parts, but others...it was all just thoughtless and meaningless gorey deaths. There are so many unanswered questions and the series just ended like that, so I really believe there will be an S2. Humanity vs BETA couldn't possibly end at that point. I'm pretty sure these battles will eventually take place in space to the BETA's original place and destroy the root of all these problems. As for character development, Yuuya definitely plays it cool when he's just put in that harem, unlike clueless MC idiots from other series. Lol |

solomon585858 said: Sharon Heim and Leon Kuze - these two characters ruined the show for me. I can't even understand WTF they were needed in the show. A girl who was fuc*ed by the main character and now she jumped into his old "friend's" bed. Typical bit*h. And the guy whose only presence pisses me off. I really liked this show but now I will delete it because of these two. ((( da faq??? |

krahul44 said: McRib said: It's not goodbye.... it's see you later, right? I hope you are right, otherwise its just another worthless anime similar to eureka seven ao, with senseless end. It's only senceless if you can't bloody follow and understand what's going on |
| Well, that was the worst thing I've ever seen. 2/10, let's just get that out of the way. Makes me want to play the visual novel because I can see so much potential, but it was all wasted. I'm sure the visual novel is actually good, unlike this "story". Let's devote almost half of the entire series to practice battles while the BETA don't attack at all. And then somehow, the US Army captured thousands of BETA to study that get unleashed by the random refugee faction that appeared out of nowhere to fill out the last few episodes? Right. I enjoyed the first half of this series because I thought there would be some sort of progression or resolution to the main conflict presented in the first episode, but man was I wrong. Beginning: BETA are invading. Ending: BETA are invading. Yeah, they're still there, no big deal. The whole thing was fucked. There are so many points in this series where I just found myself wondering, "Why?" Why would Cui try and "repurpose" the suicide bomber's TSF? Luckily, she survived for no reason, which is good, because she was my favorite of the harem, but after that, she faded into the background and appeared maybe once more in the entire series. Realistically, they're trying to sell BDs with shitty fanservice and a mediocre harem that never went anywhere anyway, which is sad, because I actually thought this would be an anime that had a coherent story that would be fun to see unfold. I love harems just as much as the next guy, but this would have been much better as a run-of-the-mill high-school harem than as a serious military show. Its attempts at being serious were often laughable, especially when you've got the characters' tits bouncing all over the place like it's Highschool of the Dead. So disappointing when you get your hopes up for a terrible story. Good riddance, saves me 6 gigs of hard drive space. |

| From the beginning this was billed as a side story to the main Muv-Luv narrative so no one should have expected the Beta invasion to be defeated in this show (unless you wanted a supreme asspull on the scale of War of the Worlds in the last two episodes). It wasn't perfect (not by a long shot), it cut important sequences, and it left a lot of unanswered questions, but all that is in line with where the LN left off. At the point where we got the second recap, I was actually afraid that the whole thing would be a massive cf on the scale of Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou, particularly with the drop in quality leading up to 19.5, but they were able to bring it to a reasonable if unexpected conclusion with the sudden terrorist assault. Overall around a 6.5 and only because the assertive strong Yui reappeared in the last episodes. |

| If they don't intend to, and I REALLY hope they do, create a second season, why in god's name did they leave off on one of the hugest gaping cliffhangers I've seen in quite a while? I mean, come on, I know the VN will be released soon, but don't leave it up to a VN for a series like this. As for the series itself, sure, there was quite a bit of filler that I think should have been stripped out completely, and replaced with quality plot, but I did enjoy the series for what it was (An at first all out, fast paced battle sequence, followed by an exponential fall back with harem and blood and more harem). Did I like it? Hell yes, could it have done a better job? I sure as hell think so. Do I want a second season for it to redeem itself? You betcha' I do. |
| Meh. Nothing particularly amazing. Not bad either. Just lacked PvE. A bit too much PvP there. I wanted to see those mechas trashing more BETA's. Cute ending though. |
| oh god, typical another typical Japanese thing. an unsatisfied ending! |
