Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse

Since 1973, an invasion of aliens known as BETA upon Earth is driving human civilization into nearly collapse. Facing an enormous mass of enemy force, mankind has developed large humanoid arms called as Tactical Surface Fighters and deployed them to its defense lines through out the world. However, all those efforts could slow down defeats but could not stop BETA, and mankind is forced to abandon major area of the Eurasian Continent. For 30 years, mankind is bogged down in an endless war against BETA without any hopes of victory.

In 2001, the Imperial Japan faces difficulties in the development of a next-generation main Tactical Surface Fighters (TSF) as it defends the front lines of the Far East. The UN has proposed a joint development program between the Imperial Japan and the United States as a part of its international mutual development project of TSF, the Prominence Project.

Yui Takamura, a surface pilot of the Imperial Royal Guards of Japan, is given responsibility for the project and sets off to Alaska. Meanwhile, Yuya Bridges, also a surface pilot of the US Army, was heading to the same destination.

Yet they never knew that their encounter would change their destiny drastically.

This story with exciting human dramas and robot actions takes place in the development of a new Tactical Surface Fighters, the most important and effective weapons against BETA, at a crisis of human extinction

EP 2 was freaking awesome . SOOOO glad they didn't go with the original work.

Spoiler:
They really didn't hold back on people dying . One death after another XD. Must have really sucked for girl that ended up being eaten alive because Takamura couldn't shoot her . It was hilarious when Aki died after announcing she survived the 8 mins .

Spoiler:
Only death that I wish didn't happen was Yamashiro( girl that got eaten) as she would have made a interesting rival/friend .

EP 4 was another good ep .

Spoiler:
Really love the early character development with Yuuya. Loved it when Macaroni ( Forgot his real name ) was showering casually with the girls XD . Seems Yuuya is going up against Yui in a mock fight next ep . Hope he understands why she has been so harsh on him in the end .

Hence why I don't watch action shows anymore.

Complaining about character deahts is pretty dumb when it comes to MuvLuv. Total Eclipse is actually very generous when it comes to that, the first two episodes are about as bad as it gets (maybe the entire cast will die in the ending, but since the novels are currently unfinished there's no way of knowing). MuvLuv isn't just some generic Mecha Action show, it's a spin-off entry in a series that deals pretty heavily with themes of War and death and PTSD. MuvLuv kills characters off because it's a War and people die in War, especially untrained cadets.

Episode 5:

Spoiler:
Yui looks fantastic in her one piece. It was very nice to see Yui's more delicate and feminine side; seeing her blush was such a d'awww moment for me.


I'm almost done with watching Kimi ga Nozumo Ein and almost done with playing/reading Muv Luv Alternative (Extra and Unlimited were good, but holy shit, Alternative.. is amazing.)

Hello! and thanks to Aphrah I now know that there is a place here that I can talk about TE :)

So far I have been enjoying the show, and although the beginning was pretty sad, the show is starting to grow on me. Ep6 was quite enjoyable, and I can't wait till I get home so I can watch ep7 to see what happens with Yui and Cryska conversation since it seems that they are both interested in Yuuya.
