| Moving to new place, and meeting new people. Real battle is beginning soon, it seems. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Yuuya and Yui's little moment in the hangar was nice. Not much happened this episode but we did learn that the rest of the Soviet Union are very unhappy with the Russians. It makes sense if you think about how they were absorbed by the USSR, and then in this story the Russians were the ones who escaped to Alaska and left the rest of them to fight the BETA. |
| Muv luv is more average than I thought. It's good enough to keep watching though. This particular episode was soso. |

| Fuck that, I'd be carrying a piece on the side or something. Let them mofos try to come at me like that, they'll get a bullet to the ass. Anyway, decent episode, but what is it with this show and jerkasses. Its like we lose one, and get another one. Yui and Cryska are absolutely refreshing to the show now, but NAW, they just had to have some jerkass in it, so they add these two new chicks....ugh. |
| Shame on those pilots. I hope to see more conflicts between them on the battlefield. |
Oh man the end pissed me off! F THOSE SHIT HEADS! I knew from the start in the spoiler  INIA! How I wanted to be Superman and go in there to take her away from this shit head. And what’s this? He fondles her breasts and privates in the spoiler About Cryska/Inia being hated, now I understand right away in the spoiler However at the end when Bridges came in the spoiler About the beginning, I was really impressed with the following,  That is some kick ass Russian Mecha dual firing. Certainly it shows nicely the fight in the spoiler About the boat sailing, I was mostly amused during it from Valerio’s reactions in the spoiler Of course nice mechas in the spoiler About the conference and Yui/Bridges talk. It was nice to see in the spoiler It was very nice of the guys in the spoiler Certainly it was quite gruesome to see those flashbacks in the spoiler About Tarisa/Stella, I have to say that Tarisa blushing in the spoiler In regards to Stella I find the magazine in the spoiler About thee end, seems like live tests in the spoiler BTW A few extras for loads. First of all the height comparing in the spoiler Apparently there arts from a official book from the spoiler Official commercials are WOW NICE! In the spoiler |
| So Yui stopped being a bitch finally. Yuuya also scored some points with the Russian girls after stopping some attempted rape. That was kinda messed up. Oh and the head of the Soviet forces they are joining with gets her own music. Of course there is something up with these asses they have to team with. Besides that it was rather uneventful. |
 |
| Well that was a much better episode, looks like the Russians finally come into play~ Although not sure why MAL doesn't have any info on the two new Russian Commanders. So incase if people are curious here ya go: Soviet Lieutenant Colonel: Fikatsia Latrova Russian Pilot Captain: Nastassja Ivanova (aka Tasha) Though it's likely this info maybe/maybe not explained fully in later episodes~ |
 |
| The story is starting to look good~ though really dislike that Russian cohort, to think they actually did it to others before they sexually harassed and tryed to set up the twins for rape just because they think the others have it easy -_- And now I have a bad feeling they'll be the cause of some problems on the battlefield for the main team, guess death might be inevitable again Dx |
EdeseAyane said: That's some nice infos there. I like Tasha's name. Very refined and nice. I completely understand Latrova and most likely her family is dead due to the BETA. If anything else does she have a love thing for Bridges too or just treating him more like family? Seems it applies to Tasha and Bridges from the looks of her mentality and outlook. |
| This Anime will probably be in my Top 5 of this season if only the Animation was average. I swear the Animation is shittier than shit :X |
| This episode was definitely better but still nothing special. Still waiting for this show to redeem itself after the last two episode. |
| The spring I met you, The spring without you. |
| Another character that made a very brief appearance was Cui Yifei in the crowd at the end there. |
| Decent episode overall. Looks like Yui x Yuuya will be canon soon. Imo this anime is really underrated, granted it's by no means something great like Kokoro Connect or SAO, it still shouldn't be ranked lower than something like Dakara H or Hagure Yuusha. |

| HOW could he try to rape a brat ? :( |
 |
| Sheesh, who has time to pick on innocent Inia while BETAs are invading the world. Hope to see big time action next episode. |

| Russian faggot tried to rape Inia. I want to fucking kill him. I so hope some of those Russians get killed by the beta next episode and just perish. I will laugh my ass off. |
 |
| Of course there had to be a close to rape scene. Of course. Fuck everything. |
 |
| It's fun looking for similarities between this Alternative and the other one. The scene with the Georgians and the Kazakhs reminded me of that scene where Takeru gets beat up by Kamille in the PX. |
| Ok™ |
| Impressions/discussions here: http://randomc.net/2012/08/19/muv-luv-alternative-total-eclipse-08/ |
| Meh, okay episode. |
  |
| Wow I hate them all. From the punks that ganged up the twins to the commander. Why the hell did she have to tell Yuuya and the twins that they need to know their place!!?? They are suppose to be comrades. I usually like the attractive female characters but this bitch gotta go. They r all trash I was hoping Inia would go berserk or something and kill one of them...sigh oh well. |
| talk about not being liked by your own kind!,dicks |
 |
| This episode was much better than the last few, although I still want them to get back to fighting the BETA. Yui and Yuuya didn't annoy me this episode. They acted like normal people and had somewhat realistic conversations. Cryska on the other hand I don't like...she is absolutely pathetic. I'm pretty sure Nunnally could take her in a fight. How is she any use as a pilot when she's collapsing left, right and centre? |
| Finally, a real story. This is way better than the last few episodes. It seems like nobody trusts each other on the Russian base, this will probably cause trouble in a fight with the Beta. Tyrel said: Russian faggot tried to rape Inia. I want to fucking kill him. I so hope some of those Russians get killed by the beta next episode and just perish. I will laugh my ass off. Same over here. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| So now Yui's all weak when it comes to yuuya after a night at the beach. oO At least we got some proper story development. |
 |
| Warm up episode for something bad ass next week |
| The only half decent ep since the first 2, yet still stupidly boring. Inia and Cryska arent helping the show either. Just kill off all the russians please. |
LeondreAug 20, 2012 2:14 AM
| Damn those bitches! They deserve to get killed. Not be Inia or Cryska, but by those monsters. Good for beta fodder. Despite fighting against grotesque human eating monsters, people still fight their own kind. Sad. |

| Much better episode than the last 2. Yuuya and Yui seem to be civil to each other finally and they'll finally see some combat. Those Soviet child soldiers are pretty messed up though. Good that Yuuya showed up in the nick of time. I'd really like to know why Cyska is so frail though? Must have been some of that experimentation they've been hinting at in previous episodes. |

| The animation quality is making me cry when comparing to other shows. |
 |
| Punk ass fucking kid got let off easy someone needed to at least snap one of their arm so they can learn a lession not mess with em, i would've done that, eff rank in those situation. And it kinda sad now that Japanese doll and top gun are getting along now gonna miss the back and forth bickering between those to. |
| I guess it wont happen but I would love to see those child soldiers as beta-chow A so-so episode except for that precious Lt. Takamura smile |
| Your really starting to see why the first director was fired in this episode. Some animation sequences were terrible... |
| One thing apparent from this anime is TSF pilots don't have any discipline. Seriously enough with bullshit conflicts/harems/and shit. Where are the battles between BETAs. BETAs are supposed to invade the world, right. Meh..... 2.5/5 |
 |
| aww tough luck Yuuya. Now that Takamura stoped being such a douchebag CO, another appears:D |
| Yuuya has supplied the most appropriate summary for the whole show: "What the hell???" *scratches head* |
 |
Cirris said: Indeed but I know most of these will be corrected in the BD. Symphogear had the same shitty problem and got PRAISES and big ones at that with the mass changes of the BDs. So stuff like that can be corrected however the director got too revealing and thus got fired. Too much to point out but it's not the first time around.Your really starting to see why the first director was fired in this episode. Some animation sequences were terrible... |
| Hmm.... I expected I battle to be going on. Yui and Yuuya seem like a good match though, but Yuuya with Cryska would be cool too! ^_^ As far as my thoughts on episode 8, I say the Russian or Soviet beatdown scene was a bit too harsh on Cryska and Inia since they are risking their lives for the world's safety. And the Commander at the end was a bit surprising though, I somehow expected that, and somehow I found it a bit off that such a strong commander was leader of some mean brats! But then again, those kids are fighting BETA everyday or week while our main protagonists are training in Alaska and yet have not encountered any REAL BETA and not simulated ones. Oh well, I would have given this episode a 3.5 but I feel that this episode is going to spark the energy in due time for the next episodes, so for now I present 4.5 stars for episode 8 of Muv-Luv: Total Eclipse Alternative. =D |
| Did you say "nerd"? ---------------------- Not "nerd" -- "node". |
| Nice episode! The plot is moving on. These soldiers are real bastards but there are always people like them everywhere, especially in war... I'm anxious to see the war, will be the first experience of Yuuya in battle and he will surely live, but I think there will be unpleasant consequences. Shame that there is no Yui tsundere in this episode but she is still moe. :) This show is my top 5 of this season, I can't wait to see the next episode! |
 |
| This perspective change when Yuuya was talking with Yui after walking out of conferesion room... awesome job. Now Yui went all dere so suddenly it destroys her character and Yuuya somehow isn't such an annoying bastard all of a sudden? This show never ceases to amaze me. |
