You'll be stuck with those for a while, in Alternative you just have some other colors (so far, of what I've seen), in TE they look slightly different. The one Tsukiyomi (dno if I spelled that right) has looks better than the others imo. | ||

No, the design itself is the same in every Muv-Luv story (Unlimited/Alternative/Total Eclipse/etcetc). The only difference is what color it is, and their color is determined by things such as rank and faction. Trainees have that white one, which looks dumb, but later they get black/purple ones, and those look alot better. Then the Americans have green ones. Each rank of the Honor Guard have their own color as well. Honestly, plugsuits are plugsuits, not really that big a deal imo. | ||

Im not saying there can not be a story, it just seems sad to me if "moe-ification" is really necessary to make an anime popular. In my mind, the value of the characters is in their ability to make me want to play it with the same passion they have (even if that is impossible). I agree that Saki doesnt take itself seriously, I just used it as an example because to me it feels like if you cut out all the fluff the episodes shoot up a couple points in rating (mine at least). | ||

They give a BS reasoning for the white version being like that, like its supposed to help them get over being embarrassed over their body, to potentially get them ready for shared barracks/showers and shit on the front lines, but its still a BS reason. | ||

I agree that Saki doesnt take itself seriously, I just used it as an example because to me it feels like if you cut out all the fluff the episodes shoot up a couple points in rating (mine at least). For Saki, I usually don't mind the character development scenes crammed in here and there. It really depends on the characters though (eg. not Achiga). I mean really, having cool hands/interesting plays is fine, but overall, having something to focus on other than the game is practically vital for a mahjong series. As far as story in a mahjong anime goes, it's always going to be the same old I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST shit. This means the characters are the ones who need to pick up the slack and make the series memorable. While I do enjoy stuff like Yumi's setups, in the end, I watch this show to see my favorite characters beat the crap out of everyone else. If you're really only interested in strategy and such, you're probably better off observing a real game. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Muv Luv Extra was boring as fuck. Seriously it just a bunch of girls dicking around thats it. There wasent really anything good about it. Was just there to introduce you to the characters But they could of made those 12 or so hours more intresting. Muv Luv Unlimited- Alot better paced. You actually got a sense of progression...until you got ur mech and then it turns into spending 1on1 quality time with each girl. I also thought the ending wasent very enjoyable because it felt like a big romance drama. Which it was but still.... (That maybe a complaint only I have since Im not very much interested in romance unlike some people.) Charaters Shirogane Takeru- This guy is dense, But thats pretty normal for MCs in this genre so w/e. Kinda cool how he was the best at using mechs because of his game playing, Kagami Sumika-Probably most likable character in the game. She was cute and innocent in a charming way.. I found myself enjoying the interaction between her and Takeru. Was kinda sad she wasn't in unlimited but I could tell she didn't belong in it. Mitsurugi Meiya-Didnt really care for her in extra. Thought she was just dumb. However when she wasent on ur dick in Unlimited she was very likable. She unlike Sumika really fits in Unlimited.Probably my favorite char in unlimited, except when you started a romance with her and she was on ur dick again. Tamase Miki- Not much to say about her.She wasent annoying and a little cute. Ayamine Kei- I tried hard to like her and shes probably my 2nd-3rd favorite main character. However all her thoughts being 3 words long made her pretty uninteresting. Sakaki Chizuru-Bitch Yoroi Mikoto-...... Jinguuji Marimo- Likeable motherly/teacher figure. Not much to say Kouzuki Yuuko- Fucking hated this bitch in Extra. In unlimited she actually had some maturity so I didnt mind her. Ninja maid was cool All right that sums up pretty much everything. All in all it wasent worth to read this VN as a standalone. Im pretty confident that Alternative will be epic tho so I dont regret it. . Edit- Also + Show Spoiler + How did it end in a cliffhanger? It seem pretty wrapped up to me except Alternative 4 and the brain bit which is obviously sumika or has something to do with her. | ||

About the cliffhanger: you will understand right away when you start Alternative. There is also the side story Muv-Luv Unlimited: The Day After, but that will never be translated into english  | ||

Think along the lines of, say, Little Busters, Rin route So many loose ends that have yet to be addressed + Show Spoiler [for example] + Alternative IV, actual combat, BETA, Kasumi/brain, Takeru ending up in this world not exactly a happy ending Speaking of the ending, there's a pretty clear lack of effort: + Show Spoiler [lol recolor] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hZfpF.png) (look at the heights) P.S. Yuuko is awesome in MLA P.P.S. lol Marimo end in Extra | ||

Can't watch a lot, so I was wondering if anyone could recommend any amazing/must see anime in the past 2-3 seasons. Google isn't being too kind, and it would save me the effort of skimming through past few months of this thread. | ||
