muv luv alternative total eclipse episode 1

It seems pretty clear, then, that everybody has been replaced, with Norio Wakamoto only returning as Radhabinod due to the impossibility of finding anyone else who sounds like him.Ĭomparing this episode with the first two episodes of Total Eclipse, what’s clear to me is that, by using two episodes instead of one, Total Eclipse was able to establish its new characters much more thoroughly, by devoting the entire first episode to characterization and world-building and then the entire second episode to battle. Incidentally, none of these three returning characters are voiced by their old actors. I can only imagine that their lives must just be a constant repetition of this exact scenario, hopping from place to place only to keep losing to the BETA.

To be honest, seeing them here again, unable to save Sadogashima just as they were unable to save Kyoto, really drives home the despair that permeates this world. They are minor characters from the original game who also made cameos in the second episode of Total Eclipse, where they served the same purpose they do here – to stand around helplessly as another part of Japan falls to the BETA. The only ones who have appeared elsewhere are the naval officers Hisaya Ozawa and Tomohiko Abe. Most of the other characters are new to this episode.

Both the manga and the TDA games are now available in English, by the way. (Azusa Maxima, the artist for the Alternative manga, seems over the moon that one of his creations scored the lead role for the very first episode of the anime.) From there, Komaki made her way into a major role in the side game Muv-Luv Unlimited: The Day After. Komaki is a pre-existing character, although she didn’t appear in the original game – she was created for the manga adaptation. Our point of view character for this episode is Sayoko Komaki. This episode takes place roughly 1-2 months after those Total Eclipse episodes – the capital of Kyoto has fallen, as depicted in those earlier episodes, and the BETA have now made their way east to Sadogashima. It inevitably invites comparisons to the first two episodes of the Total Eclipse anime, which did exactly the same thing. Its main objective is to introduce the world of Muv-Luv Alternative and show off an amazing battle between TSFs and BETA. The first episode, as had already been announced, is an anime-original episode taking place 3 years prior to the main story. No matter how things turn out from this point on, this is an exciting moment for us all. This story with exciting human dramas and robot actions takes place in the development of a new Tactical Surface Fighters, the most important and effective weapons against BETA, at a crisis of human extinction.15 years after the game was first released, 5 years after the last related anime episode aired, and 2 years after this project was first announced, today the first episode of the Muv-Luv Alternative anime aired. Yet they never knew that their encounter would change their destiny drastically.

Meanwhile, Yuya Bridges, also a surface pilot of the US Army, was heading to the same destination. Yui Takamura, a surface pilot of the Imperial Royal Guards of Japan, is given responsibility for the project and sets off to Alaska. The UN has proposed a joint development program between the Imperial Japan and the United States as a part of its international mutual development project of TSF, the Prominence Project. In 2001, the Imperial Japan faces difficulties in the development of a next-generation main Tactical Surface Fighters (TSF) as it defends the front lines of the Far East. For 30 years, mankind is bogged down in an endless war against BETA without any hopes of victory. However, all those efforts could slow down defeats but could not stop BETA, and mankind is forced to abandon major area of the Eurasian Continent. Facing an enormous mass of enemy force, mankind has developed large humanoid arms called as Tactical Surface Fighters and deployed them to its defense lines through out the world. Since 1973, an invasion of aliens known as BETA upon Earth is driving human civilization into nearly collapse. Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse Uncensored
