| S1 has more action scenes after ep 7 if you want to watch it for that, and there's a chance you'd find the story more interesting from that point, same goes for S2 since it's covering the better parts of the VN. You'll probably still find potions of it boring and possibly confusing though, because you're missing half of the story and you're not given much reason to care about the characters. People recommend reading the VNs instead, but you've probably heard that before and you're not interested. |
| not at all, this garbage is trash |

ixarising said: Well IMO it's better to consider the anime separate from the VN. Still need to see how they plan to make the "changes". You can't consider it separate when more than half of the plot is only known to those who have read it. It's very clearly made for those who have read it and it's still a shit ass adaptation. |

It's very clearly made for those who have read it and it's still a shit ass adaptation. It doesn't change the situation that the anime made their own major changes already. Having 1 extra character can change a lot of things depending on how they're used. "Major changes". Adding a new character that has barely appeared isn't a major change, the biggest changes they've made are the character design and axing most of the plot and character development. Still, something could be done, but at this point in time, it's just a terrible version of the VN that has nothing to add and should not exist. Even if they do something, I doubt it would fix even 1% of the problems of this anime. I'd bet the new character was added because she's going to be a major character in the sequel (after all, we alredy know how this is going to end) or something. âge has gone radio silent about the sequel and I wouldn't be surprised if at the last episode there was some kind of cliffhanger or teaser for what's about to come (just hope they won't retcon anything). |
| A lot of doomposting going on about the anime due to some strange decisions made by the current IP holder. To me there's two ways to look at this show in general: 1. It was made for fans of the VN and they remove anything that isnt absolutely required and dump all their money on the one aspect where the games ran into limitations of its medium meaning the battle sequences. 2. As a first step into the muv-luv franchise. Like the tip of the iceberg kind of deal. If you like what you see and you just want more of it you always have the manga (only alternative) or the games available. They are way more fleshed out (in some parts bloated) and give a LOT more nuance and context and leave a lot of time to let emotional impact settle in while the anime speedruns mayor points of it. The anime, to me, somewhat achieves point 1 but I feel like it struggles at point 2 as I would assume that the hook isn't going hard enough to warrant 100+ hours of VN playtime. The games, if you have the time, are absolutely worth it. I've played them recently for the first time and can't shut up about them. |

| No, read the VN instead |
| No I don't think so, so far I every episode I think I will just drop it but am hopeful for at least some actual mecha action. |

You won’t have to wait too long for mecha stuff. The episode on the 23rd will have plenty. And it may be the entire rest of the season if they don’t rush it. however, People are mistaken about the idea that muv luv is mecha. It’s not, the mecha fights take up less than 10 percent of the muv luv trilogy 🤞🏼 it gets…. Less frustrating, more action but maybe it just isn’t a show for me. |
| There's a MLA anime? |
 |
| I did enjoy the second season more than the first one, but nope, sorry. I really can't recommend this. It has some decent parts otherwise it's still just trash. If it actually caught your attention I would recommend to just read the VN, from Extra, but if you don't have the patience it's probably better to skip this whole story instead of digging into this adaptation. |
 |
| Not truly but it is a massive improvement on s1 |
| as someone who has sat through almost all the mecha shows, this is definitely better than most, but then again it is definitely carried by the source material. The mech action and sound mixing is suprisingly very good, and I definitely recommend it even for casual mecha fans. I have not played through the VNs, but I did watch Total Eclipse and that Schwarz anime for background, so I obviously I cannot speak for everyone. |
| I hated s1 as well, but s2 is far superior. In ep 3/4 it really gets going, so I recommend it. Unfortunately "Muv-Luv Alternative" is the weakest, compared to "Alternative Total Eclipse" and "Schwarzesmarken", in my opinion. |

| Read the visual novel, anyone saying this is a fine adaption obviously hasn't read it. It even butchers some of the most iconic scenes and all the music is horribly out of touch compared to how the original visual novel was presented. |
