lol what is this. Alright fine it's a shounen battle manga in the form of basketball so you get OP moves à la PoT. But seriously. That asshole can copy a move and then steal it. So he can go ahead and steal basically all of their special moves (since those require "rhythm") and pretty much make it so that nobody can even shoot the damn ball without having hallucinations or flashbacks featuring mr creepy that throw them off. Jeesh. Watch him go enter the zone and seal the entire other team's movement or something -___- goddamn. Speaking of the zone, the zone doesn't make jack sense. You don't get 2x as fast when you're in the zone or some bs like that, you just get really accurate and maybe really good footwork. Your raw power and speed and shit doesn't just double like that, not even close to being close to being close. It's just common sense. If they reveal it so early, it's like...bankai from Bleach or something. Everybody has to use it to make things exciting and indicate that they're playing 100%. Except Bleach is a bad series and there is no more novelty in using bankai just like that. And you don't just enter the zone in each and every game, maybe it happens a few times a year at best. The zone is called the zone because it happens very rarely under inexplicable circumstances, not just because you try your best and stop thinking about distractions. But hey it's a shounen manga so trying your best for your friends or your team or just trying really freaking hard = auto spirit bomb. Yeah they needed something to explain that ubermassive power boost aura and all they had was the zone, but come on. I'm really terrible at ranting so I'll just leave it at that. hehe  Yes shounen needs these special powers to move it forward and keep things exciting or whatever but sometimes it just gets ridiculous obviously. + Show Spoiler + I'm still going to keep reading so mission fucking accomplished for the author ^^; | ||

+ Show Spoiler + It's gonna be a massacre, lol. Saw someone complaining about how ep 1 was about high school girls who piloted mechs and sucked at it... no shit sherlock, that's the point,and it's all a perfect setup for a massacre ep 2. Question is: does EVERYONE except Yui die or does the "rival" survive? Hmmm, we'll see. Looking forward to seeing them get pwned... is something wrong with me? :D That said, a general comment on Muv Luv: Dem suits. | ||

This part wasn't even in the LN, and is anime-only, to introduce people to the setting. Yui isn't even the main character. | ||

I'm pretty much expecting a complete massacre with no one surviving except Yui. | ||

On July 03 2012 14:29 Dullahan wrote: Also as a side note, after thinking about it some more, I'd strongly recommend people read the VNs before watching Total Eclipse. The anime only covers the bare minimum as far as background material, so there's quite a bit of stuff that may not make much sense to the uninitiated (such as why mecha, why fanservice suits, the complex political aspect, different strains of BETA and BETA tactics, etc). And stuff like the cameo in Ep 1 by + Show Spoiler + Yuuhi smaller species alone owning stuff; the BETA weren't even using any of their big guns other than the brief appearance of the Fort class that didn't even do anything other than have the TSFs bounce off it Well, alot of that in the VN was a "sit down and I'm going to lecture you for half an hour" type thing. That normally doesn't work well in anime. Do people really need to know about the different strains? Not really. Do they really need to know about tactics against BETA? Maybe some basics, but that's it. The political aspect will most likely get elaborated on when they move to the actual part of TE in Alaska. I think I pretty much explained the "why mecha" part, or at least the reason given by the VN, already. The "why plugsuits" part wasn't even justified well in the VN imo lol. No need to have to read 50 hours of VN stuff for just that. | ||

Aight. Worth redoing it for the Yuuko bad end? IIRC someone said you could just continue from a Christmas save to get to it. | ||

That stuff is answered in Alternative Also, Extra-Mikoto's gender is the source of massive amounts of trolling. There is no definitive answer.

I'm planning on watching that next. I haven't been following the remaster every week. They have redrawn some scenes (more "Hirai face" so they look closer to their look in Destiny), changed others scenes in what actually happens (sometimes for the worse), and reanimated others still. Also, there is alot of cropping, and IMO they ruined the first ED. Thus far, I would say the remaster isn't worth watching over the original release. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Boota turns into a beasty kid and has spiral power .... DAFUQ ???? Galaxy sized Mecha fighting each other (mixing up two galaxies and throwing it at each other to create literal Big Bang attacks), and earthlings watching at the sky to see them ... DAFUQ ???? But even though it doesn't make any sense, it stills gets you hooked up :D I really liked Yoko as a character. Beside her huge "anime character bosoms" she's a really unique character IMO. She gets a unique skill in the show, had an interesting enough side story for the time skip and basically gets some of the most emotional scenes of the entire series  Now I'm moving on with Steins Gate, another great watch from what I've been told. I only saw the first 2 episodes but even though the story is a bit messy for now (I still can't understand well everything they are doing, and how the characters relate), I'm pretty sure it will deliver soon enough | ||
