katsu044 said: When did this turn into an Harem?! i feel stupid for not noticing it since that beach episode..lol. Knowing this comes from a Ero Visual Novel should be enough of a sign. Hell, in there Yuuya is banging these girls left and right in the game. |
| Wow this turned into harem which is my most hated genre. Oh well its kinda too late to drop it now.... |
 |
| More bitches. Pile on the bitches! I'M LOVING IT! |
| TBH , I was expecting this introduction , but mah dreams were shattered when Cui said she wanted to go honeymoon with Yuuya.. LOL |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Damn Yuuya he is surrounded with a lot sexy girls and yet he remain clueless about it ! |
 |
| CUI added to the OP, yay !!! |
| 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. |
| this episode made me laugh Yui's jealousy and the way she "unknowingly" stalked yuuya was hilarious but in a way cute :) Cryska's realization was heartwarming she's been through a lot, Inia solved most of her loneliness. Now she's learning the concept of "love" Cui is a complete 180 from everyone she's funny but thats about it :P I have a question for those of you who are [a lot] more into the Muv Luv universe: How did the Beta get to Earth did they ride on meteors/astroids or can they survive through the atmosphere (sorry i might have missed this) |

OT: For those who played Final Fantasy 8, when i first saw the beta on the moon then on earth, the first thing that came to my mind was the 'Lunar Cry' lol |
| It's official, they renamed this show to Much-Love Alternative: Total Harem. Lots of potential, but they fucked up as if they were J.C. Staff. Historical animation quality, fascinating story depth and uber high-tech graphical animations of doom. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

| ...Its pretty obvoious almost no one here played the VNs. Well, whateva, lets just go on with some more romatic scenes. Did you all just forgot episode 2? Since the anime almost needs that you know from the BETA and the 5 Alternative Plans beforehand, Im gonna shortly summarize it. > BETA land on earth > Planes do shit against them cuz Laser Class > First TSF developed > G-Bombs developed (Heavy firin, but they may have side effect like an atomic bomb and make the land almost useless, so they dont use them often) > China Russia Europe Mainland compeltely overrun (iirc). > 5 Billion People died already (yes, only 1/6 of humanity is alive). > Human cant communicate with them, try anyway (and fail, more than one time) Yuuya currently a Test Pilot, and as such, on the, more or less, safe Final Defense Line. Since this plays in the Alternative Universe and Yuuya now more or less Japanese I expect: Its like the VNs and the very first episodes: FIrst regular anime-harem stuff, then it develops little more drama, |
LordofHomo said: angelslayerX said: You're going to be disappointed as well. TE is almost entirely separate from Alternative. It has about as much relation to the trilogy as Fate does to Tsukihime. The only real cross-over will be when they eventually take part in Ouka, and even then, the novels haven't gone that far and it is extremely unlikely that they'll be anything more than one of the diversions at another location. Well, im not really into cross-overing characters. Idc if we actually see Captain Sagiri, the rebllion could only be used as a plot and it would be shame if it wasnt. Still, i dboubt Yuuya gonna get his happy harem ending. His harem gonna decrease with time or else I wont accept this as canon in the MuvLuv verse and give it a 4 by default. If they do a pretty damm good job at showin how humanity struggles to fight the beta, instant 9/10. |
| This ep was fun actually :'D |

Not that TE ZetaGanja said: I have a question for those of you who are [a lot] more into the Muv Luv universe: How did the Beta get to Earth did they ride on meteors/astroids or can they survive through the atmosphere (sorry i might have missed this) Wow thanks! (i don't know anything about Muv Luv Universe other than these 17 episodes so sorry if im not well informed) |
| So is Yuuya this dense on purpose? |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
| Usually when there are multiple love interest I will definitely hate one of them. But I just can't seem to hate Yui, Cryska, Innia and Cui. They are all very loveable. Although I hope Yuuya will end up with either Yui or Cryska, a really hard choice.... |
LordofHomo said: As for the ending, that's all up in the air. The novels are to be concluded with the VN when that comes out next year, so the staff have to find a way of making a satisfying ending that suits both fans of the franchise and anime only fans. It's a bit of a pickle, really as they run the risk of spoiling the VN, or they bring out an anime original end which could be rather weak. I thought MLTE novel which this anime is based on is already completed?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muv-Luv#Novels |
| This has gone i little off course, wasnt it suppose to be about beating the beta? now its a full blown Harem. country vs country when did this go G-Gundam status? also Yuuya is in there........ Kinda. |
Asakurabaka said: Deadhouse said: And dont get me wrong,i love those as much as any ordinary anime lover but seriosly this anime started as action blood and gore fighting mecha anime and became harem and romance.Da fuq are they doing with anime? :/ lol totally agree, As much as I enjoy the cute tsundere romance moments, The turn out of this anime would probably have been alot better if they just kept it as an undertone with the War and Mecha/gore conflict as the primary focus, since there was potential. But I guess its called Muv Luv for a reason =P it seems to me that it's following the same pattern as Alternative (VN) shit will go down sooner than later... and when i say shit will go down, it will go down HEAVILY BULLDOG266 said: So if the F-22 Raptor (lol) is in here mechanized what about an SU-47 Bekut? Or better yet, a PAK F/A? given the setting (in which air fighting has been rendered useless due to the laser classes) almost EVERY fighter jet irl was made as a TSF, as a matter off fact, the twins are on a SU-37 Terminator Berkut goes here (TREAD LIGHTLY, the rest of the wiki is a spoiler galore) ZetaGanja said: the bastards are pretty resilient, they can survive in any known environment, underwater and no-atmosphere even (Mars and the moon have hives), so it doesnt really matter HOW they got here (in fact, i dont remember that precise part being covered on the VN, might be wrong tho)I have a question for those of you who are [a lot] more into the Muv Luv universe: How did the Beta get to Earth did they ride on meteors/astroids or can they survive through the atmosphere (sorry i might have missed this) Hydnlife said: ever since MLA back in 2006This has gone i little off course, wasnt it suppose to be about beating the beta? now its a full blown Harem. country vs country when did this go G-Gundam status? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- on the episode: seemed a bit slow, more so with all that backtracking from ep 16, that time would have been better used on explaining more of the twins... :/ 4/5 also: frame 1: MP all over the place frame 2: lol noone's around |

Seems that Cui has acknowledged Yui as a rival.... :3 Battle shall commence to fight for Yuuya's love... !!! |

florincovaciu said: NickyCharisma said: This was one the better episodes in a while. I loved the tender moment that Cryska and Yuuya shared in the park. I'm curious though if Yuuya doesn't recognize that Cryska is falling in love with him or if he is intentionally trying to redirect her focus so he can get closer to Yui. Either way they came dangerously close to making a real connection. Looking forward to what follows. Speaking of Yui, "So you like carrots?" I guess she is new to small talk. Plus I should be relieved that shes finally trying to make her move. And the way that Yuuya grabbed her hand as they ran out of the bar! I was hoping that Yuuya had something more substantial than sword fighting lessons that he wanted to ask Yui, but an in's an in. Cui was actually adorable this episode. Shes really starting to win me over, if only that her personality is 180 degrees from the other girls. However I highly doubt that she stands a serious shot with Yui. I would like to see him end up with Cryska to be honest. I think he would be good for her and might get her and Inia out of that toxic, commie environment. I'm interested in who others think will be Yuuya's girl. i'd like to be cryska but now i'm feeling sorry for Cui because she looked like she really likes him, after "crying" at the end of the episode Honestly I wouldn't hate it if Yuuya did end up with Cui. Maybe not my first choice, but I really like her spunk. At this point I can't predict how they will end the show. I really don't want them to kill off all but one of the girls. If any unnecessary deaths happen it will seriously hamper my overall enjoyment of the show. I understand that the VNs are dark and all but this is a side story. Make Yuuya choose one girl, don't kill the rest off leaving a "default" love interest. |
| Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER! |
| Needs less Harem. |
 |
| Yuuya you better go for dat harem ending! speaking of ending, that new one was so simple. |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Come on Yuuya, teach Cryska the ways of love...Ecchi way. XD |
Magito said: Come on Yuuya, teach Cryska the ways of love...Ecchi way. XD I have a feeling that Yuuya was honest in what he told Cryska when she told him about her "strange feeling". Just like some harem anime, this guy is a thick guy when it comes to romance (and apparently he is not even interested given Cui's being so frank with him). |

Stark700 said: I smell jealousy. Cui hanging onto Yuuya? :) She also wants a honeymoon. Lololol. I liked her fighting skills. Cui = jealous. Inia = cute Cryska = serious Yui = tsundere *Cryska = yandere That's what I fell from her O.o |

If it is I was hoping they would wait until the novel is completed because I really hate it when companies adapt incomplete novels because the anime ending always feels... incomplete? Anyway, if they wanted to do an original ending I hope it's going to be a good one. Btw I'm sure this episode was made because they want us to fall in love with the characters so that they can make us more despair when killing off all the characters. You know that it always calm before the storm lol |
| Even with the low expectation of the sakuga / animation for TE, this is still unforgivable |

Hydnlife said: This has gone i little off course, wasnt it suppose to be about beating the beta? I swear I see this comment in every TE discussion ever. No. Not even the main series of VNs is about beating the BETA, it never was. Even if the latter half of Alternative has enough aliens to fill the needs of the whole Starship Troopers franchise at once. Total Eclipse is just a spinoff in Top Gun spirit. I don't recall that movie's point was about fighting Soviets either. |
