Ahhh, reading reactions to that part is my favorite pass-time. Probably should spoiler that part though.

So fun to watch people's reactions XD

@Maxie, if you can describe it (instrumentation, tempo, general feel i.e. hopeful/serious/dramatic, etc) that would help. I'm looking through the OST at the moment for stuff that sounds like it could match

Edit:

Here's a couple ones I found: (there's a number of other tracks that could match, but I couldn't find them on youtube with a brief search)
+ Show Spoiler +





As an aside, it really says something about the soundtrack when "that awesome battle music" can refer to so many different possibilities.

Now you are understanding the emotions on that chart I linked. Now you understand the text in the bottom right of the chart: "The first 20+ hours of the game are spent in a light hearted atmosphere where player gets to interact with standard anime girls. Even the beginning of Alternative is a power trip where the supersoldier protagonist breezes through basic training and displays his superior piloting skills (mecha otakuness pays off in the end). AND THEN IT GRABS YOU BY THE HAIR, PULLS YOU UP AND STARTS FUCKING YOU IN YOUR FACE."

hahaha Sent's picture is 24 carat gold :3

And that other picture....whoa...

+ Show Spoiler +
I've always been extremely hesitant of starting VNs that total 50+ hours because I just don't have the time and I'm afraid of messing up routes and stuff (i.e. I don't want to be completionist but not doing certain things makes me feel bad etc :X). But over the years I've read countless MuvLuv Alternative reactions and even though I know there's going to be a bigass tear-jerking twist by now, I'm considering it lol. I could be lying in a hospital bed for a week or something like that and in no position to work, so going through the whole series seems like something that could be really nice.

Before getting on TLADT (so this was many years ago), I actually went through the whole thing but with ctrl syndrome, and lost a LOT of the plot etc. And MuvLuv definitely is one of the best VNs out there (or so I've heard) so I feel like I should give it a thorough going-through after I've gotten a lot older etc

I understand alternative is the big pay-off though, correct?


Alternative so worth it, though keep in mind there's Extra and Unlimited to go through first, if you're looking at the total time needed

Yeah I know, extra and unlimited are supposed to be read to give alternative that extra unlimited alternative kick.

Sorry for the late edit!! But yeah, having to go through that much is the reason I was wary of starting the series (definitely 80+ hours). Doing it all in one go in that way would be pretty cool though for sure. Just gotta make sure the nurses don't come in at the worst time to see an H-scene >_>

But wow, alternative came out 2006? Damn it feels like a long time since then.

Alternative is my favorite VN, so I definitely think its worth giving a read.

Alright, I'm sold ^^

I think you have good taste in series, VNs, etc, so if it's your favorite VN bar none, then I'll definitely check it out. Not to mention those reactions have got to be worth something--where there's smoke, there's fire and all that.

Honestly I don't know how much the general length of each of the arcs are. The part with CHOMP was the XM3 Testing arc. Then the PTSD arc is when he "goes back to Extra", and then ends with:


So before you get to JAM Project you are in PTSD. Then after that, you learn tons more about Alternative IV and get to one of the coolest battles in the game.

If your willing to go through 30 hours of medicore to just plain bad shit then ya its really good. Im really glad I went through it all because its so good now that ur so familiar with everything. You just have to have patience

Muv-Luv Alternative made me revise a few other VNs from 10 to 9, leaving MLA to stand alone at 10. Before I played it, I thought it was absurd that it has a 9.32 on VNDB while the second highest rating isn't even above 9, but that score is deserved. I don't even like mecha or sci-fi very much, and I especially don't like teenage high school drama, but if you like VNs at all and haven't played MLA, you need to get on that.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

I have played ML+MLA but didn't really pay attention or really appreciate it at the time. So I still remember some of the characters' names and remember a few faces, but don't really remember the plot, in this case. I think this particular VN I don't remember how it goes, so I'll give it another read this time. Will also be interesting to see how differently I see it sixish years later.

It's sort of like good short stories, where going back and rereading it I recall some of them instantly down to the last detail; other ones I remember some parts but other parts (e.g. overarching plot, ending, characters, etc) are fuzzy; and other ones I don't recall having read at all. Usually if I don't already recall the general plot (and reading a few spoiler-free summaries online just to check did not), rereading it won't jog my memory. This is the situation with MLA so with luck, the ending should equate more or less to death by drowning in tears. ^^

Just finished Hoshizora no Memoria, it was pretty good, could have used better pacing though. I was going to start Kara no Shoujo, but im going to hop on the bandwagon and read ML+MLA woo! Looking forward to reading the highest rated VN on vndb. If TE is any indication, this should be great

Just started reading Dance in the Vampire Bund and watched the anime series.
I have to say I am a little annoyed how the two plots differ quite a lot despite it being the same title...(unnecessary plot twists).

wat wat in my pants

Oh boy this anime season got to be the worst of all time . So far I've only tried Sword Art Online and i liked it but the rest just doesnt click with me on first sight. I see alot of ppl are into Muv Luv but that probably the VN and there is poor ratings for the anime so thats out too.

Just a couple of weeks I finished every anime on my plan to watch list. I checked the recommendation on top and picked only Ga-Rei : Zero from that list. I've watched more than 90% on that list anyway.

If someone can recommend me some good anime I've missed then pls do so. http://myanimelist.net/profile/AceIII

Pls dont troll me with School Days I'm already tired to see it on every 2nd page and I will never watch it. Just a reminder dont bother with with your typical Moeshit shows, Harems and Mecha ( I dislike mecha in general but i could give it a shot if its good ).
