EPTAlternative itself is a really, really long VN, so unless you Blast through it, I doubt you would finish the entire trilogy by the time it airs.

I thought it would be something like this, and yeah, I don't think I have any chance of getting through it quick enough. Still, thanks for the good answer. Also, blast with a capital B? Are we missing Blasterion here are we?  | ||

Good luck with that, it's like 80 hours to get through all the material, unless you Blast through it like Sent said. And for everyone that didn't realize EVOL is love backwards after the entire show is basically a giant romance with loveshit everywhere. You're an idiot. Straight up, no ifs ands or buts about it. You. Are. An. Idiot. I mean we even talked about this for a while when the show first started airing, come on. Also, blast with a capital B? Are we missing Blasterion here are we? No. No we are not. I have declared June 22nd a formal holiday, though I haven't come up with a name yet. It's basically like independence day. | ||

"Blast" is a derogatory phrase that IRC came up with, used to refer to holding down the ctrl key while "reading" Visual Novels, to skip through literally everything.

At least I'm not as much of an idiot as they are, since it took me only a few episodes, rather than 26 | ||

Hehe, Hinagiku so cute talking about Salisbury Steak. Also, I knew it! I knew that the hidden room in the apartment was related to the 28th! Looks like I might get the Athena-King's Jewels arc after all. Now it just needs more Aika. | ||

Now let's be fair, some of us can read well enough at ctrl speed for most contents. Blast just manages to do it and then get everything wrong. | ||

It's not too hard to Blast through English stuff, thankfully. I propose an addendum to the original definition of "Blast" such that it requires being stupid while Ctrling. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LsF9U.png) Whoaaa, shit just got craay craayyy. Series is turning out to be more than decent. They got a good balance between character development, humor, and action. Also not to mention the main plot, which is actually starting to get more interesting. But damn dude, Maka choosing black blood, that shits CRAY CRAYYYY. | ||

Or people could be talking out of their ass, I've no way to verify. But the raws of the LNs vol 1-5 have surfaced, so maybe someone will get around to translating them soon, like what they did with the existing Schwaresmarken raws. Also, even if /m/ is just lying to me about the end, there are BETA in the PV, so they at least show up in some capacity in the anime. | ||

Alternative itself is a really, really long VN, so unless you Blast through it, I doubt you would finish the entire trilogy by the time it airs. FWIW, I started Alternative on a Friday afternoon and spent literally the entire weekend glued to my computer screen. It was a weekend well-spent. As far as estimates for each portion, I read these numbers somewhere and generally agree: Muv-Luv Extra: 10 hours + 1-2 for each additional route Muv-Luv Unlimited: 10 hours + 30 mins for each additional "route" Muv-Luv Alternative: 40+ hours So at minimum, since Extra requires doing the 2 main routes to unlock Unlimited, that's about 10 + 1 + 10 + 40 = ~61 hours overall. The other 3 side routes in Extra are reasonably worthwhile for improving your Alternative experience so that's another 4-5 hours if you want to include those. Unlimited "routes" are just for completionists - it's the same overall ending, with the respective heroine copy-pasted in with the appropriate dialog tweaks (and the ending CGs are literally a hair recolor of the exact same scene lol) - don't bother unless you're OCD like me. Edit: Nice Madoka | ||
