This crossed my mind before, but I'm thinking that Total Eclipse & Schwarzesmarken will likely function much better as anime
| As someone who didn't play the VNs but read a quite a few summaries waaay back , and 1st introduction to the franchise was Total Eclipse anime, Imma just say how I think that + Schwarzesmarken will be superior as anime adaptation. Those can function as their own contained storylines and maybe TE at least, can serve as a solid mecha anime for someone new to the franchise, at least that was my thought. It has tons of flaws, but I found Yuuya's development to be quite solid, as well as the development of his bonds with his team mates, and especially Yui, Cryska & Ininia. Seeing them start off from bickering beginnings, to acceptance, to caring for each other & all that jazz was quite the satisfying journey, IMO. What does the audience see here tho' ? "Okay, so our MC , this Takeru dude, yea I heard he's the MC of the main VN trilogy but here I just saw him pop out and dump a shit ton of exposition on us and even if we get it, we're supposed to be emotionally attached to his struggle or something? Also he clearly knows a lot of things we don't." (I know why, just saying how it looks for most ppl)." Curious if anyone else felt like this. For hardcore fans of the franchise who've went through all the VNs, starting with the OG Muv-Luv, remember we don't have your nostalgia factor attachment, we just see what we get here. |
NeloRosso said: The problem adaptating Alternative without Extra and Unlimited is, you lost expalanation about characters and those stuffs. I Was thinking they were going to hide infos about Extra and Unlimited for making the anime more understandable for newcomers or anime only, but noooooooooooooo, they keep those infos. Explaining wouldn't cut it here tbh, because they tried to (well, a very summary version I assume) - but it won't matter too much since there'll be no emotional attachment to the audience, thus no connection to Takeru nor the girls. Hence why it feels like this was a doomed adaptation from the start. The main storyline of Muv-Alt would legit need several seasons, because you can't form attachment through explanations alone. The other two I mentioned felt like they could do with much less, IMO, even if their potential is less. |
| The reviews I've read say that Total Eclipse has no ending. It's merely an ad for a Total Eclipse visual novel. It is regrettable that Takeru's backstory has been skipped, but I felt no attachment to his character even after playing through the game. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| What do you mean, "will?" They did function better, granted Eclipse less so than Schwarzesmarken, and granted literally anything is better than this shit, but I don't see why that's being asked as if they're hypotheticals. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
