| So, VN readers, I see it's not the same MCs in this one compared to Total Eclipse but do I still have to watch it to understand this one? |
Incognimous said: Total Eclipse is a side story, not necessary to watch. Their expressed goal is also to have this show be accessible to newcomers to the franchise Ok thanks for answer! Kinda weird to make a side story in 2012 and then make the actual thing in 2021 xD |
| Word of warning you will most likely understand nothing nor will watching this be a pleasant experience. This is the "ending" arc of a visual novel series in which the start [a very important start] includes Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Unlimited and contain very important character building/general set up and lasts around 30 hours of reading with Muv-Luv Alternative [being this one] being a 50+ hour linear second half and ending of the story. There's no way they can create something like that into a 12 episode anime especially when they aren't including the first half and thus this is mainly for people who've already read the visual novel and just want to see it animated. If this story at all interests you I highly recommend buying the visual novels on steam instead which still remain as one of the highest rated visual novels of all time on VNDB and have some of the highest production quality/budget for a visual novel. Because this animation form will most likely be extremely lacking and will only serve to spoil major events and give a bad impression of the series. |

So if we say the VN had 20 volumes they're just skipping to vol 15? Well that's weird take :/ guess I won't be watching this |
| The anime is a new start point for the franchise, the anime isn't a reward of VN readers, it's for newcomers. We don't know how many episodes will have this anime neither how it will be the adaptation. I recommend watch the anime instead listen VNs reader, majority of them will say that you better read the 100 hours novel. The anime staff is aware that the sequels of this novel are important, and I'm looking forward how they will do about it. An anime should criticized as standalone product, it shouldn't be compared with the original story (the novel). Unfortunately the VN readers (English speaker) of Muv-Luv aren't happy with this anime and they will badmouth about it, like almost VN anime adaptation (look at the last comment, bad impression of the series? it will be lacking, the anime ISN'T EVEN OUT!). Bad news for the haters/doomposters, the Japanese fans are looking forward the anime in a positive way and from I can tell from Japanese comments in Youtube and Twitter, they're happy that after 15 years, Muv-Luv Alternative is having its own anime adaptation. I'm also a VN reader and I happy with this anime adaptation. For the original poster, watch the anime, I bet that it's very unlikely that you will not read the novel, the anime can be surprising good or can be bad (it matters of taste). Good news: the production can be considered healthy according to director's tweets, they finished about 7-8 episodes. |

| Everything is pointing towards this being utterly abhorrent, so it's best just to leave it and stick with the VN. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |

Well that's weird take :/ guess I won't be watching this You can watch the anime first, it's one of the main purpose why they're doing the anime in the first place, i'm sure they will do it in a way where first time people can still engaged themselves with the story. As to whether it''s good or bad, it'll have to depend on the writing and one's own preference i suppose. I'm a VN reader, i'll still give it a chance, it may turn out good, it may turn out bad. They may just change part or maybe even the entire story, who knows. In the end it's just an adaptation, they may or may not be faithful to the original. Adaptation nowadays are like this anyway, they take the original source, add some twists on their own. Kappejoj said: Ok thanks for answer! Kinda weird to make a side story in 2012 and then make the actual thing in 2021 xD Just FYI, they released two side stories, Total Eclipse and Schwarzesmarken. Schwarzesmarken is released to promote the upcoming VN. They did do a twist on the 2nd half VN by giving it two more routes. Which is why i would still recommend new people to give it a chance, i mean opinions from the VN readers could be referenced, but right now the anime isn't out yet and for all i know, the anime may have its own twist to make it a complete story as a standalone. If there's one thing i'm not happy is how they butchered the female characters' bodies. I mean 4 of the girls are supposed to have beautiful, sexy and alluring bodies like Yui and Cryska, but we ended up having Chobi. Ok, guess I can wait a bit and see if I can watch it without reading the VN, don't really have the time to read 30 hours of it just to know what's happening in the anime |
| I am still undecided whether to see it or not, is the other story important to be able to see this one? It catches my attention but, is it necessary to see the other story? helpme x'd |

| You shouldn't watch this in the first place. Just watch Total Eclipse and maybe Black Marks. This show is not worth anyone's time. |

| You need to watch Akane Maniax to understand the full lore. |
