The storyboarding is downright atrocious. This has to be among some of the worst adaptation work I've seen in a long time.

The opening is growing on me, I kinda like it.

I'm not surprised at all they skipped the CCSE. This anime showed the BETA quite early so they are trying to get to the BETA as fast as possible. I never expected them to take their time with the early part of the story like in the VN.

Does that hurt the story in general? Yes. Does it change much? No, they already skipped extra and unlimited after all. This is just to get new fan and get some of VN animated. Does that sucks for VN reader that wanted a worthy adaptation? Yes. Does it matter to me? Not really, I'm still enjoying this anime.

I'm also quite tolerant for art and animation so I thought it's fine. Was never also fond of original design or original seiyuu so the design are growing on me. Still looking forward to see if they gonna change stuff and how the fight scenes will look like. Hopefully they don't adapt all of alternative and we get a second cour but I wouldn't even be disappointed if we don't get a second cour.

Really enjoyed the episode. I was quite nervous when the BETA attacked even tho it was predicted, I totally thought something would go wrong.

Looks like next episode our soldiers will be able to fight! Looking forward to it

Wrong anime. That was in Unlimited. That doesn't and probably won't ever have an adaptation.

Anyway, no wonder he thought that, since Yoroi from his world was a guy.

Actually, that could happen in Alternative too. Takeru in MLA had an option to do it again and it was even more hilarious with him thinking "sorry Mikoto" while doing this once more. I really wanted to see that in anime, but I guess it's impossible when they skipped the whole CCSE.

Yeh was just gonna mention this, Takeru indeed had the option to do it again in Alternative is why I questioned why such a beautiful scene was skipped:(

But yeah I'm just not gonna watch the anime with so many parts skipped lol, just cba

Despite the loud criticism from the VN fans I’ve enjoyed the first few episodes of this tremendously and it’s accomplished the task of getting people into the VNs because after my GRE tomorrow, I plan to start reading it.
Glad to see new people into the community!
Maybe after you delved into the VNs a dozen of hours, you'll notice why people are making rants about it.


This anime is probably doing a good job then. Get people to read the vn, then shit on this adaptation.

Uhmmm they wont really rush it till the end right? Dont tell me last episode just hit at 12 for whole vn? If its so. Its like a summary season. not watchable. If its so just cancel the anime. Its like killing the vn reputation. Also they should start from the beginning
Dont tell muvluv 3 arcs compile into one .

There is the first where they in original normal world based akana maniax something also wont spoil but muvluv original world is connected to alternative. So they need to properly link it at minimum 36 episodes to make it clean. But normally should be 72 episodes because of the many routes on original and unlimited i think

Will still watch because muvluv only vn i like since 2012 or maybe i didnt download something better. But it hurts


Feels like all their content gone to muvluv total eclipse and the Schwarzesmarken . They should put more importance on main series than spinoffs. Total eclipse has one object that is in alternative. Wont spoil bleed your eyes waiting for the rushed episode

Odd point to be exact, but they're properly using Windows XP on their PCs when it's 2001...at least they thought of anachronisms in an alternate world's timeline.

Hyperspeed engage! I'm not saying anyone's wrong about the frantic pace and underdeveloped characters and disjointed plot details, but this is still better than I expected. There was never a way to properly adapt something this long in one season.

Can you imagine the details left out were for blu-ray release while the broadcast time is basically the summarize version of the anime?

Like I know how TV series like Gurren Lagann and Madoka turned into a movie series with cutting out non-important things works.

To quote a certain controversial anime reviewer:

"That was terrible. If this is the best porn game of them all, you can just imagine how worse the rest of them are. This bullshit is what made time resets and Attack on Titan clones popular. Once again I prove to you all without doubt how awful porn games are, and how the otakus hyping them as mature masterpieces is one of the main reasons modern anime went to shit. That’s what happens when people are not giving praise to Blue Gender, the first and still best post apocalyptic anime of this kind. I wasted 50 hours of my life in playing something that is not even 10% as good as it was. Porn games are the death of anime and I never want to see another one of them in my life."

First episode I was tentatively hopeful. Actually a really smart way to introduce the series if they're going to focus exclusively on the Alternative timeline.

Second episode I was concerned. Extra and Unlimited got brushed over, ditching the entire context of what makes Takeru as a character so great--that being his transformation, which now nobody is going to see.

Third episode I got whiplash. Jumping back and forth through time (what was with that waking up sequence getting slipped in there out of order?) and blitzing through major plot points pretty much dashed all hope for this adaptation. It seems like they actually intend to tell a 50-hour story in 12 episodes. Yikes.

Sakaki crying at completing the CCSE was what did it for me. Takeru says they achieved it together, but all I saw was them synchronizing their watches and suddenly it was over. How am I supposed to have any emotional involvement in that?

Not to mention the animation is actually broken at times (Perspective? What's that?). And the OP and ED are so generic they feel like a template.

Quite frankly, I don't know who this anime is for anymore. It sure as heck isn't for people who didn't read the VN, and it's barely functional as a refresher for those of us who did.

If you want anime Muv-luv, go watch Total Eclipse, Schwarzesmarken, and Akane Maniax. They may require reading the original Muv-luv trilogy to understand them, but it would seem Muv-luv anime was actually better when there was no Muv-luv anime.

Mc working hard on his speedrun like this production.
Nice more dev on Doc & Kasumi, but other teammates barely talk.
From teammates' pov mc sounds like a self centered newcomer chad. Only Meiya got the first name maybe that's a positive.

Akane Maniax predates Muv Luv. The only thing it requires is Rumbling Hearts, which also has an anime.

I am SO sick of everyone saying, “They butchered Muv-Luv by skipping the previous game. Without proper buildup, newcomers can’t relate to the Takeru! Now go skip the company’s 1st anime and watch an OVA with a protagonist whose backstory you don’t know.”

if they can make a 60mm and 120mm "gun" for tsf what hindering them from making a "sniper rifle". and why are they are risking it getting close (i understad if they can only attack the back of certain type beta). it isnt like beta is an angel

its really uncanny to see a missile battery and multiple yamato (?) class battery at the same time

Fuck pacing because fuck you. We just pressed an entire chapter into 30 seconds teehee.


Still better than fitting two entire VNs into one three minute flashback sequence, I guess.

People hate infodumps in the VN. This is the kind of questions we got without infodump in the anime. Wonderful.
