The redesign could've been done better. I don't expect the same carbon copy helmet hair, but I'd prefer helmet hair than the new redesign.

My main issue with the new design is how they standardize most parts of the characters. If it's not because of the height, hair color, I'm sure we could easily mix up two or three characters already. I couldn't differentiate Isumi & Munakata immediately during the TSF combat in the coup d'état arc.

I recognize that screen-shot. ;)
Here have more:



And a comparison image:


New redesigns are horrible, and this series being the lowest budget Muv-Luv anime doesn't help the cause. My bet is they simplified them to easily animate, not so much introduce the series to a newer audience.As we see from the anime failing to garner a new audience, quite few will get into this franchise with those crap designs, and the ones that do end up disliking them anyway. We're out of luck, we could have gotten a decent EXTRA anime in the 00s but it was axed, never to be.

Hello, me again. So I asked around, and I gathered that the redesigns are based off of Immortals, not the visual novel.
https://muvluv.fandom.com/wiki/Immortals
It is the new gacha game that was launched in 2022s corresponding with the anime release beforehand to advertise it. Even the first episode adapts the start of the game and not the start of the vn.

So we wasted an anime adaptation on a failed gacha game. I don't know about anyone else but that is depressing to me.

What are you on about, the designs in Immortals are completely different and the first episode has nothing to do with it either.

I asked around this is what was told to me:
"the designs are 1:1 with the Immortals designs. There's no attempt to match the original character designs"

"first episode of MLA had that Immortals-esque tie in with the walls"

Yeah my bad, they said the walls, not the start.
and judging from pictures the cast looks more a kin to their modernized anime variants than the original novel sprites
Was told that the MLA anime might be based on the manga, as there is a manga original character that ended up being in the first episode. No idea the validity of that as I haven't read the manga of Alternative yet.

Sort of, the anime has several scenes that first appeared in the manga (including those that have that manga original character)

ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME, they based the designs off a shitty Gacha Smartphone game that no one heard or played, what a punch of retards and that is super depressing.

THANK GOD I dodge a bullet, because I always hated Alternative from the get go, because my girl Meiya is not the main one and be with Takeru, instead its the boring red head and I DESPISED the ending too.

Also that garbage design is not my Meiya, THIS is my Meiya.

If you still do not know web design, you should study it because it is a very modern direction in today's business and very much in demand. Now we live in an information-loaded world, and web design is becoming more and more fresh and minimalistic, which helps to navigate the choice of this or that product or service. I think that I was allowed to study branding design from Design Agency London


Death to modern web design.
