| That's pretty kino. Unfortunately, I doubt that the animation quality will make up for how badly they will butcher the story. ALSO THEY REMOVED SUMIKA'S RIBBON AND NERFED HER AHOGE HOW DARE THEY!!! |
 |
| Graphinica once again showing how good they are with CG . the scenes look absolutely fantastic . i have heard the novel is very good , so hopefully they adapt it well . we have been getting a lot of CG anime recently . i guess ex arm really is an insipiration for all .... what a legend of the industry . and what the fuck is wrong with the author's page ? thought my pc crashed or something . |

| I wanted to see more of the characters but they only showed some random mecha battles. Sad that the VN voices won't be in the anime, I got used to Meiya's annoying "sonata" |
    |
| How popular is this franchise? It seems to me that I hear more news about this remake than about any interest in it. |

It seems to me that I hear more news about this remake than about any interest in it. I love the old-fashioned approach to mecha, but as a fan of this series, when it was an agnsty romantic title, I find it hard to accept that at some point it became an agnsty mecha. |
|
| It's one of the best visual novels ever made and my favourite, but like most visual novels that get anime adaptations, It'll be a trainwreck. Still, I hope they include original OST from visual novel, and to see iconic scenes animated such as Storm Vanguard and CHOMP. |

It seems to me that I hear more news about this remake than about any interest in it. i think isayama saying that his work is sort of inspired by muvluv alternative added a bit to its popularity as well. what i want to know is , it says that this a sequel to "muv luv unlimited" on mal . so is it okay for me to go into this as a newbie ? Isayama? The author of the titans? Quite unexpected news. Well, as I said, I was a fan of the original VN where all the characters were young adults in an agnsty love triangle. Therefore, I am constantly confused that in the future it became mecha. Maybe I should watch the old anime and its spin-offs to make things easier to understand? |

And this is still not translated into my language, when all the other titles mentioned were already somehow read by me in Russian, lol. Well, if it's nostalgic and edgy enough (I'm too much of a Key raised), then I don't mind giving it a try. |

RobertBobert said: Wait, if you’ve read the OG Muv-Luv, then you should have already known that there was mecha since the second half of Muv-Luv was a mecha in the form of Unlimited.

TweedleDane said: It’s supposedly advertised to be newbie friendly, but I wouldn’t hold my breath since this has happened twice before where the anime turned out badly (Higurashi Gou and Fate/Extra Last Encore). If you have lots of time on your hands, then you should read the Muv-Luv VNs starting with the original one since Alternative adapts the 3rd Act of the series, completely removing the first 2 parts in the OG VN.RobertBobert said: i think it has decent popularity . it was trending on twitter with around 5-7k tweets when the anime was announced . its quite old so i dunno how the fandom is doing now , but i have seen it being talked about in the manga community . also gave birth to a lot of memes .

queenhinata said: Recently, I watched Schwarzesmarken, not knowing it is in the universe of Muh-Luv. I might check this out. (Also, knowing that Isayama is a fan is kinda increasing my interest.) Isayama was such a big fan that he adapted the training scene 1:1 with dialogues and all (from Unlimited), you remember that scene with Eren and Annie |

Like that VN about the city of twins, which has both a themed harem and a silly moe detective action. |

It's actually the other way around, Muv-Luv is a spin off of Rumbling Hears/Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. They actually share quite a few characters with the Akane Maniax game/OVA being the bridge between Muv-Luv and KimiNozu Side-note: Akane Maniax was an acid trip lol. |

This is why Muv-Luv was a difficult experience for me, because I saw "Rumbling Hears with mecha". But my friends constantly advised me Schwarzesmarken as "an edgy show to my taste". GGcc78 said: This could be great if they give it the episode count it deserves. Anything less than 50 episodes and it probably wont be able to properly tell the story. They need to find a way to get the Muv-Luv/Muv Luv Unlimted stuff in there or else it wont have any impact. RobertBobert said: It's very popular, but the VN is 15 years old. How popular is this franchise? It seems to me that I hear more news about this remake than about any interest in it. The makers seem to be making a big push with the franchise, with a remake of the Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien visul novel and a a Sequel to the Muv-Luv Alternative Vn. My guess is that this is why its getting an anime after all this time. I'm all for it, the words "VN adaptation" always motivate me very strongly. |
|
| They skip the first two routes of the VN with this one (Muv-Luv is a trilogy and all of them matter to get the whole thing). So I rather advice all to play the VN, that being Muv-Luv (including Ultimate) and then Alternative. They are on Steam, so easily accessible. It's worth your time, not kidding here. |
| The production looks good but who knows how the adaptation will be thou. |
 |
| This is the second promotional trailer and they are still only showing mecha and no characters... this is suspicious. There's also Sumika in the promotional artwork which is weird... at the same time how are they going to make new viewer care about Sumika if they are going to jump straight to alternative? I guess they will either use flashback or adapt part of extra/unlimited. Or woe be upon us and they mix the 3 VN to makes an anime original route à la Rewrite. In any case I'm not looking forward to it. VN adaptation are a big coinflip and I prefer extra more than alternative. I still hope this adaptation does justice to the fan because no VN adaptation deserves to be trashed. |
| >VN >receives anime adaptation uhhh this is fairly interesting, let's see how many ppl will hate this one. |

Yeah the funny thing is Muv Luv is the spin off sequel(in a way) to Rumbling Hearts lol. Which explains why Akane is in it and the two heroines in Alternative |
 |
| They will skip Extra and Unlimited parts? |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Graphinica is very good with 3DCG so i do not mind if even the human characters are 3DCG too |
| imma fap to this probably |
| 3D's just here to stay huh? Damn man. |
 |
| i better see some sexy skin tight outfits on the girls and some sexy camera angles like in Total Eclipse<333 |
 |
| The character designs in the anime already look better than the designs in the visual novel (Ugly ass artstyle, which is why I'll never touch the series) |
  |
| Muv-Luv? Whoa fuck, I haven't heard of that name in a long time. Awesome. |

| well thats a surprise, 2021 is truly weird like that |

| Seeing as I recieved this and as someone who already finished muv-luv Extra-Unlimited + Alternative, I hope: 1) They animate the full VN (No I mean not leave out important parts of the VN) 2) Make it less fan servicey (Not that I mind of course) 3) Don't leave the story unfinished (I'm looking at you Total Eclipse !! since Total Eclipse continues the story after the anime and the LN, even the VN are not translated so while I had to spoil myself but looking at the muv-luv fandom, I'm still unsatisfied with how they didn't continue the story because it only gets interesting after Ep 24) 4) MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT EVEN MENTION "that scene", I regret the day I had to see it (Had to drop the VN temporary). |

| This is going to be a disaster and we all know it. I mean, if studios with actually good VN adaptations (like White Fox and ufotable) struggled to make "The perfect adaptation" I can´t imagine what the Alternative elitists will say. There´s also the fact that as far as I remember there´s not a good Mu-luv anime to date, so, even if the original and Alternative are not that related to some people, it gives context. Thomas_Eriksen said: 4) MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT EVEN MENTION "that scene", I regret the day I had to see it (Had to drop the VN temporary). You mean the good ol´ Chomp? |
Thomas_Eriksen said: That scene was one of the best parts of the VN though, and the aftermath was even more tragic. That single scene was what made MLA one of the best VNs ever written, so of course people will talk about it a lot.4) MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT EVEN MENTION "that scene", I regret the day I had to see it (Had to drop the VN temporary). Though, I'm pretty sure that they will censor that scene ridiculously hard in the anime since I doubt that they would even be able to show the OG CG in the VN on TV lol. |

I get what you mean since it added depth to the story, but I mean the first +18 scene, it is totally tragic but I wish I sip some unsee juice. Well all in all, since budget is being put for an MLA anime, I have a feeling it might adapt the manga tho, we'll have to wait and see |

Total Eclipse is an immediate prequel to Alternative. Timing-wise, Alternative starts just a few weeks after Total Eclipse ends, so the story continues directly from there (though the storytelling switches from an American to a Japanese point-of-view). |
