I was eating some teriyaki while watching and I slightly choked and coughed em up when the mechas made an appearance thinking "Oh god that's some horrible cg." I probably won't even bother with the next episode but hell, who knows. |
| LOL at all the complaints based on the setting.. this is what you all get for blindly getting involved in a side story of a larger franchise.. |
| Far more interesting than most of the shows currently airing. |
Mechas piloted by hot girls in skin tight piloting suits... what's not to like? |

| Aside from the fan service this has a lot of potential, the setting is quite interesting. |

Mechas piloted by hot girls in skin tight piloting suits... what's not to like? The fact that they will end up in the bellies of those BETAs. Won't be picking this up, and I hope that this would bomb catastrophically, just to make a point. |

| I WANT THE ORIGINAL SERIES!!!!!!!!!!! |

| I liked how quickly the first episode progressed. Hopefully it keeps getting better. |

I noticed style is similar but not so in this one. So what is the whole thing of Kimi?FightingFisto said: T-there was no luv in this.... THERE WAS NO LUV IN THIS Note to self: Read synopsis and genres of all anime titles from now on fucking Muv -_- The main one Alternative has Luv though lol and a really pure and epic one. That's why they said Muv-luv Alternative, Save in the name of true love. Not sure about Total Eclipse side story though. Same setting different story line is what it is. |

AidanAK47 said: Sir_Lexa said: There is an actual reason behind that. Basically it's a type of conditioning. In this world on the front lines men and women share rooms, showers...everything. To summarise the suits are designed so that girls become less conscious of being naked in front of men and likewise men become used to the sight of a woman's naked body and don't react to it as much. So the point is for both sexes to view each other as soldiers rather than members of the opposite sex.The suits the girls wear are absolutely ridiculous. Is this an ecchi show or? Assuming this point was explained in the VN, I still don't think this distraction is helpful to setting the an appropriate mood for this series. More importantly, if I assume this series is genuinely taking itself seriously, then it really needs to start developing its main characters quickly. In order to conduct world-building, a series also needs to focus a few central characters. E7 Ao and its predecessor succeeded in that amazingly. So far, however, Yui is woefully underdeveloped (i.e. all I know about her is that she reads books and I am not quite sure how that translates into any of her actions). Orix said: Tenko_Ranchi said: The fact that they will end up in the bellies of those BETAs.Mechas piloted by hot girls in skin tight piloting suits... what's not to like? All I see, so far, is a series with good intentions that is unwilling to disregard its ecchi fan base in order to gain some solid character development. My hope is that this series will turn around and focus on what's interesting: its premise of a not-so benevolent alien invasion. |
| one more average anime from this season. |
| Reminds me of Infinite Stratos since all the pilots are female. But I feel that this anime shows promise. Now, after watching this I definitely have to go play some Mech Warrior Online. |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| @s2012k1993 Try playing the VN of Muv-Luv sequentially and read the Total Eclipse LN. They are obviously better than the anime but hope they don't screw the anime over (the director and all the people related to the project are Muv-Luv fans after all). |
| |
| Not bad I think this could be interesting |
 |
| It was a kind of slow because nothing happened until the end, though it's understandable since they were trying to show the girls' daily lives until the tragedy happened (that's why it's titled Part 1). Lots of questions are raised, but I'll take my time finding out the answers |
 |
| Not what i was expecting but not disappointed either it reminded me of the Gunparade March Arata Naru Kougunka and not of Muvluv Unlimited which i read the manga of. Tho this is only the start and things can change. The main character looks appealing tho. |
| Nice animation , the start was preety enjoyable , so I'll continue to watch it even if it's not my kind of anime xD |
 |
| Not what I was expecting, since I've played the VNs. How could people be so carefree on MLA world? Even before Japan was invaded, they were already at war for years... even the school uniforms were kind of military-like in the game. But even though the mood felt wrong, it all makes sense if you know the scenario, so I guess it's not too bad... and it seems they are about to get serious next. I believe the first episode was just to create the "Muv-Luv Extra effect": see the characters in a happy life first to show by contrast how serious things get later. I didn't really like the episode (too soon to judge the series), but I guess the real problem was for people who don't know the series. They left out some important explanations, but also some important aspects that define the scenario (mild SPOILERS ahead): how much the TSFs shake when moving (to the point where people without proper equipment might die from nausea alone), why they decided to use mechas (aircraft was rendered useless), the weapons and systems used (thought detection? Energy weapons? Force shields? Not in this series... watch out for your ammo!), the standardization of the TSFs (personal mecha for your aces? That's not practical for mass production...), etc. |
| I think it's fine. And interesting since I'm into these genres. On another note: Why don't they make their mecha have energy shields? Everything's freaking cooler with them. They wouldn't have to worry about taking a hit or two from those laser blasts thingies if their mechas had them installed -.- Even NGE had AT fields at least... (Yeah I know it's based on a VN series. But still. Energy shields are cool) |
| Well after watching I feel like playing the Alternative VN again ^^ |
| |
| 5/5 for it. It got nice art and music. The story looks promising. Looks like we can expect 24 episodes for this, considering this is all a huge prologue (Looking from the synopsis) |
 |
| Nice start, sadly it's all girls controlling Mechs again, sigh Are they using a dildo or boobs to navigate |
| 4/5 It's not a brand new one, but has potential |
| The start wasn't that bad... I think. As for its full action and story pack are really good IMO due to its Seinen atmosphere. Has potential. Haven't read the VN but guess the anime won't be screwing up to much if it follows the original storyline. |
 |
| Kind of rushed but nothing too hard to grasp. Mecha's look slow and useless. xD |
| Already dropped, weak fanservice mechan shit |

| They did a really piss poor job of explaining the world for those who haven't read the VN. |

| I dunno, if they do justice to Sword Art Online, I'm not going to write off the anime industry yet. |
| People are just forcing their definition of "good" and "bad" on everything they see fit. |

| We're only human ┐(￣ー￣)┌ |

| Looks pretty good so far. I'll stay around to see where this goes. |
