_Nette_ said: deg said: no character animation still and its the 2nd PV already That's just what I was thinking too. Quite suspect. if the characters are 3DCG too then people will hate this one for sure lol |
That's really what I am worried about. Well that and people not understanding anything because they haven't read Extra and Unlimited lol. |

| Apparently this is the best rated VN on VNDB, so I’m quite excited. Heard so many good things about it, obviously. I wonder if I can watch Alternative without having played any of the VNs? I saw that there’s a prequel to this one |

I can't say I'm impressed. They're using what they might had a year ago. No noticeable progress. I just hope they're taking their time to adapt the story for anime too. Muv Luv is monologue heavy. |

I wonder if I can watch Alternative without having played any of the VNs? I saw that there’s a prequel to this one That's the huge problem with adapting Alternative only. It's going to be made for fans already/ Hopefully they give the anime only crowd something to help them understand. But if it is like the VN you are going to need to read Muv-Luv Extra and Unlimited to truly get it. |

| This news can only make me happy. First of all because it catches me off guard and because I liked the two anime series already made in the past. I can't wait for this new animated adaptation to arrive too. |

NG_Chloe said: not necessarily, 3CG in anime does have it's own fanbase of people who like those types of shows, otherwise Netflix wouldn't be producing or licensing so many CG anime, moreover, no one would be making CG anime if no one liked it or bought it, so there is a fanbase out there. I personally speaking, actually enjoy the aesthetics of a lot of CG anime im a 3DCG fan too especially none 2.5D animation stuff but come on just here on MAL and countless comments on social media whenever there is 3DCG scenes or anime is shown on trailers the reaction are mostly negative |

It was indeed pretty. The problem is, most of time, 3DCGI anime lok like total garbage... |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Blue Gender rip off getting another Anime. Shiiieet. |
| Even 50 episodes is not enough to cover thIs story. It's also gonna be heavily censored anyway |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Always down for more Muv-Luv. I don't mind the 3DCG. Just make it Muv-Luv! |
 |
| Looks like extra and unlimited is gonna get shafted. Good, just give me alternative I'm only here for the fanservice of seeing it animated anyway, I doubt any adaptation of muv-luv would have ever satisfied both the VN fans and the anime onlies. |
| Well there it is. Hard to not be excited really. Bring on the poggies That said I'm still not sure what exactly they're doing about Extra/Unlimited so things are still a bit up in the air JanPri said: Alternative is a million times better yes. It's still the #1 ranked visual novel on VNDB for a reason whereas the original is nowhere remotely close to that. However, the original is still the start of the story, so jumping straight into MLA and skipping it will make you miss out on some plot points in Alternative so it's not an ideal solution either even if the first game is pretty average by itselfWhy is there already several Muv-Luv Alternative anime adaptations but not even one Muv-Luv one? Is "Alternative" better? |

| The title says TV anime, so, it won't be a movie or OVAs, right? I really liked the quality I saw on the video, CG can work really well, I loved it on FMP IV, on Yamato, and on things like Sidonia. It can work really well and feel seamless, lets hope for a good adaptation, I will probably freak out if we get something truly good, otherwise, I will moderate my expectations. This is my favorite VN, and one of my favorite series ever, so I really need to calm down and think rationally... it took them 14 years, and incredible support from us fans, with KS, to finally reach this point, all those times they rejected possible adaptations for MLA meant they wanted only the best adaptation possible, plz be good, plz be good, plz be good... hopefully, it will be great and make me cry and become an emotional wreck all over again. It will only do me that, if it is a good adaptation, I won't feel for it, if it is trash, I have had many years of preparing my heart, enduring garbage adaptations of shows I love so... |

You want to say to me it's better than both Steins;Gate and Umineko no naku koro ni Chiru? That's really hard to believe... Anyway, if I get it right, if I want to completely understand the story I still have to play (probably the original) Muv-Luv and there's no anime that would make it easier for me? It's hard to explain why Alternative is #1 without spoiling. But if you liked Steins:Gate you will definetly like Muv-Luv. All the concepts of Steins:Gate are in Muv-Luv. Unfortunetly Muv-Luv is a *very vey long story* and the setup of the beginning is very weak, because it's like Subaru from Re:Zero getting his dream world. When you are past Extra and you unlock Unlimited in the game you get the first twist. |

JanPri said: Yes Steins;Gate is 2nd and Umineko is 3rd if you wanna go by VNDB rankings at least. As for whether it's better is subjective but they're all very much worth readingHaXXspetten said: Well there it is. Hard to not be excited really.

And well we still don't know exactly what this anime will cover so I can't really answer that question (nor can anyone else) but at the very least there is no adaptation of the original Muv-Luv yet. If you wanna play through the games then it's simply a matter of pushing through a somewhat average two-part game in order then proceed to Alternative |

| Many people asking how is this the best rated vn on vndb, well i won't go on comparing to other really good vns because they're all great on their own but one thing i'll say for sure that the details to worldbuilding are insane in muv luv specially in alternative. As for the story all i'll say is read it. Yes its long and its lengthy but it's probably one of the most ambitious stories you'll ever read. |
