Nice fights.

Yui is such a boss imo from the way she swings that sword with her mecha. A lot of action this episode and I loved watching that. This episode was good imo even with the night fights. The Inia and Crysa scenes were also emotional to watch imo ;.;

Yeah good episode. I was surprised when the F22's showed up to save the day. I half expected them to fight Yuuya instead of helping him. And it seems that the "Allegiance" guys manipulated the RPF all along for their purposes. They're some real nasty fanatics.

Cryska had some big death flags before the activation of the Kapka system. I hope she doesn't die though.

Very good episode i think the Scarlet Twins will be under that one bad guy's control (sorry don't know the guys name)
Yui was Badass
Yuuya was really worried for her :)

I'm assuming the Sarlet Twins go to their " World of Falling Petals," when they go berserk

Why couldn't they all have been like this??? Too bad, agree that it is too little too late but I would still watch a second season if it was more like this and less raft races and onsen hikes...

I don't know if this info is real but this series was a PREQUEL for the novel....
But people tend to go to Anime before manga or novel so theirs a lot of confusion on the series, but I still like it as i thought Muv-luv couldn't get more bloody i was stunned by the climax

Wow the RLF scene was sick if they let us see it but i thought it was over for Yui in a sec their

I still think the United States are behind this tho it seems that some of the members of the RLF where aware of what might happen and sacrificed themselves for that plan.
What i don't get completely is why they would go so far as to destroy almost everything the only possible explanation i can think of and based on the words that this was Gods doing is that they see this as the Apocalypse.
And that they see the Beta's as the ones that should rule which just seems to very strange ideology to me hopefully next week will give a better explanation of things.

The red unit seems to have a large effect on the Scarlet Twins that thing might have copied there fighting style since there seemed to be a large computed in that unit.
That still doesn't explain why it effected the twins in such a way.

inia and cryska probably about to go berserk and start killing everyone I think yuuya going to have to stop them but I think the tarisa about to die and maybe leon and sharon probably
yui going to probably get hurt
Not sure about that dude with the berkut he and yuuya might go at it again
Good episode
Not sure if this is going to be an original ending or a continuation for the VN but if it is a continuation I hope they make a second season or ova after the Vn ends

Wouldn't this be considered episode 24? or not counting the filler episode?

Was a really good episode though, wasn't expecting the USA people to show up, and of course they show up and the badass music starts playing.

Yui totally kicks ass though!!!

And I don't know who to trust, the only non shady characters are Yuuya, Yui and their team, America and USSR, I'm guessing are both up to something.

Yuuya was all worried and went into her crazy mode of herself for a sec there and then we have the scarlet twins thats probably being controlled by the Berkut.

Next Episode is gonna be awesome.

BETAs at this time, and the enemy group refused to listen... they had to fight them, and US team came to support (love the song played there). Now it's their own fault for the result. Wonders what happened to the twins.

thanks for the clear up, I was kinda confused myself, as I just watched what was supposed to be the 24th episode, but its only 23rd haha

I didn't really understand it, like how the Major was actually German or something? And him activating a device on his SU-47 (I think) seems to trigger the Scarlett sister's ability and unleash a dark side of Inia. Can anyone clarify or correct this if I'm wrong? It was a good episode, but I felt it had a number of plot holes, and how everything just feels so rushed.

There was an informative special (not really animated, and that's when it was first announced to have OP2 and ED2 at ep.20) + animated recap (own database page), not because "1-2 counted as one".

Next episode's time for some Chobi beating.

I'm still sad the strongest TSF is going to be reduced to a glorified prop for the main cast to beat into the ground before they go off to calm the twin.

Im gonna say I agree with Aversa (pg1)

I dont know about anyone else but i was totally face palming the whole time. Stupid battle tactics mixed in with a poorly structured terrorist group mixed in with, "what is going on in the Terminator?" Action was kinda cool although not realistic for a serious mecha anime. Does anyone else agree with me or am I alone in my principles?

This episode makes me question why the U.N would keep a swarm of BETAs locked away when they could grab probally 10 of each class(sans Fort Class) and not have a problem disposing them if they were to be unleashed. Other than that this episode was wonderful and lots of TSF action, The Su-47 Berkut has chainsaws and knifes on its limbs! Infinites made a big entrance and wiped those auto-piloted TSF.

RLF were disposed by the Allegiance and were made to look like the bad guys. Mariem tries to fix her error by calling ceasefire with their enemy, only for it to end in a mass suicide. So the Berkut came equipped with a system that interfered with Scarlet Twin's Prafka mode and took control of it?

Oh God, this series was so bad. The only reason I watched it was because Muv-Luv is one of, if not, the best Visual Novels out there. So there's going to be a 25th episode?

Total aired episode was said to be 24.
So next week will be the last one.

In terms of animation and sakuga it is the best since ep.2 ....

I was wondering where those F-22 had gone... and finally here they are in the middle of the episode! Cool!
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

One of the best episodes yet. A full-load of mech action bundled with emotional uneasiness from the scarlet twins as well as Mariem's side. The final cliffhanger nails it perfectly as an awesome episode. But of course, the art for the non-mecha parts could've been done a bit better. Personally only the fail portrayal of the Spetznaz's assault can be considered something not of standard.

They were still in the command post room all tied up as of last episode(?)

Only friendly in there would be Ibrahim and the Spetsnaz group , then we saw Ibrahim rescueing the UN Commanders , he probably went to save them first.
