| Oh Takeru, that's a bad timing get fed by Kasumi lmao Idk what they're trying to aim for this episode but the cringy humor (like that bathroom "accident") is ridiculous. Poor Takeru got caught at the end of all those beatdowns. Worst episode so far imo. |
 |
| OK, so Yoroi Sakon is his name that is Mikoto's dad, the intelligence officer that knows of Takeru. This guy knows more than most about what's going on under the hood, and having an interest in Takeru is but the first notion. Lots of technicality that anime-onlies will only understand by the bits about Takeru being able to travel back to his old world, a transfer experiment of sorts. The Muv-Luv Extra humour of a harem makes it stupidly funny somewhat, though it's really short-lived, Kasumi has a slight concoction of her surroundings. The toilet scene though is also another one with Sumika, erm that felt awkward. The one time that Takeru succeeded in transmitting the future back to the past, at least that was an attempt done what he's supposed to do, to foreshadow the events by changing the past even by a bit. Alright episode, consistent. |
 |
| Probably the episode i enjoyed the most so far but that's not saying much.... Pacing also got much better, i'm really curious about how they will handle the important stuff in the next weeks. The only bad thing is that the humor must feel out of place for those who didn't play Extra. |

| It's somewhat funny/ironic how animeonlys could get completely different impressions compared with people who actually read the VN trilogy, seeing that the OP said they feel it's the "worst episode" so far. I saw a comment saying that this episode probably makes zero sense for those who haven't read Extra. I guess the adaptation is doing its best, but I can easily see how the scenes can have completely opposite effects for those unacquainted to Extra's absurd sense of humor and unaware of the deeper meaning behind the out-of-proportion contrast between the two worlds. Still, I hope it all comes together at least after the anime (2 cours?) finishes, then animeonlys might watch the story as a whole. |

| Yea idc what VN fans are saying, this show is fun. Shirogane spawning in the bathroom with Kasumi was hilarious. I like Shirogane world Yuuko a lot more than war torn world Yuuko. I think the pacing has improved a lot too, the details are being more thoroughly explained and set up. Really solid episode, looking forward to next week. |
 |
| I just didnt liked this episode because everything was being so efficient, that made this episode kinda lackluster. |
 |
| No matter what other VN reader says, I think this anime serves as a great refresher of Muv-Luv alternative for now. I've since long forgotten the details of the plot and this anime is doing a good job reminding me. I'm also glad I don't have to sit through all the jargon of Yuuko this time. |

| Lots of fans used to complain about Extra, but it seems they don't mind seeing the same cringe in Alternative? The gags in YU-NO are far superior. |

| I thought that was probably the best episode so far. Tbh,I think as the series has progressed it seems to have slowed a bit on its pacing,and allowed more time for little "Muv-Luv" quirks,such as the toilet scene with Sumika,and the "Say Ahhh" scene with Kasumi. I quite enjoyed it(still hate the OP/ED though,though not as much as I first did) |

Pretty much nobody thinks the jokes in Muv-Luv are good at all. In fact AFAIK the author himself mentioned in an interview that he had no idea how to make a proper comedy, even though part of the idea was to lure people in with an innocent-looking facade before the story turns dead-serious and really preachy. The general over-the-top jovial atmosphere of Extra also serves an important purpose in terms of the overarching theme though, which will be quite apparent by the end of the story. |

| その目だれの目？ |
Well for me, Alternative isn't good including the jokes, Alternative is good despite the jokes, and many other things that I don't like. And I think some of the fans thinks so too. |

| Another week with a surprisingly decent adaptation. That's nice to see. |
 |
| Remember, this season is a build up season on how the MC is going to achieve soon. We're getting closer to December 5th, 2001 soon, which is 2nd/3rd best part of the series, just by 3 more days from December 2nd, 2001. Also, this anime is NOT made for simpletons. The attention spans level need to be higher in this or other wise, read the source materials like manga and v novel provided to go on ahead instead of waiting. If you wait, you'll be lost forever. This is why a 12 ep format does not work for over 60+ hour stories. A movie adaptation would work better, it can be 3 hour per movies. |

Alright episode, consistent. Well original takeru is dead in the universe and government knows that. This is why Sakon and Tsukuyomi both refer to Takeru as dead man and don't trust him |

How do those two sentences have much to do with each other or how could you reach such a sentence as a conclusion (supposing you're not trolling) smh. > jokes in Muv-Luv aren't good > Alternative is serious and preachy and doesn't have jokes in the later 2/3 of the story. -> "Not true; I was told Alternative is very good" ??? |

Unless you're referring to the all-ages/Steam version which cut this scene of course. Walkthrough: https://seiya-saiga.com/game/age/muvluv_7.html There's also a Yuuko end in Unlimited in a similar fashion. |

| Quantum Causality? i googled and we Spider-Man now huh https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Quantum_Causality the power to change the past that will immediately change the future also is Kasumi just Sumika somehow? their names are like backwards or rearrangement of each other too |

I actually think most of actual VN fans would start to enjoy this by now. The worst times of the show are behind, and if they still hate this for almost no reason at all, some "fans" are they. uh ratings say otherwise. Top review says otherwise. we're still kinda pissed at this adaptation. |

AdmiralFrost said: OppaiSugoi said: uh ratings say otherwise. Top review says otherwise. we're still kinda pissed at this adaptation. Not gonna talk about ratings, there's always some weird shit about them in MAL. I can't say this is a good adaptation yet, as it's source is the greatest visual novel ever, but if you aren't enjoying it one bit, I don't know, maybe you hated Muv-Luv from the start? Trauma from Extra part and lacrosse, perhaps? If I hated muv luv, my statements all over this subform would be way different. I am merely expressing my dissatisfaction on a piss poor adaptation of said one of the greats. Why people keep saying this is a good adaptation is beyond me, Please continue with your copium therapy session. |

And I neither said that it's good adaptation at the moment, nor implied that you personally hate Muv-Luv. I'm pretty sure you understood what I meant, so I'd better go refill my copium tank. You just implied I hated muv luv. Matter of fact, I did enjoy Extra, Unlimited was "a surprise but a welcome one", and Alternative was PogO face all throughout. I had many late nights reading Alt with lots of oh shit PogO moments. No, no one knows what your're talking about. |

I had many late nights reading Alt with lots of oh shit PogO moments. You really liked Alternative VN, so I kinda hope the pain and dissatisfaction are not only emotions you feel when you watch this one adaptated. If they are, I would be pretty puzzled, as a guy who really liked the whole Muv-Luv trilogy as well. Stay puzzled then, just like I'm puzzled why people keep saying this is a good adaptation. Yes all I feel is pain and dissatisfaction. VN adaptations are never ideal, its always butchered content that in this case pisses off the what you call the other majority which is The Majority of the VN community because no one asked for this, and also leaving the anime only's more confused on what they're even watching in the first place. |

This anime so far has been no different from Unlimited, which is serious and preachy with jokes. Fine. Guess you'll see the full picture and get what I really mean when the Alternative journey comes to an end. But there's not much point in me trying to keep repeating myself here, since the "main" content of Alternative hasn't even started yet, so your perception up to now is understandable and kinda fair. I don't even have much detailed memory of Alternative up to this point of the story I would say, since it's not the meat of it at all. |
