It's in Chinese, but well worth running through an AI translator (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok, etc.). One of the most in-depth interviews with Yoshimune Kouki I've come across — covers the history, the setbacks, and where the series is headed.
Made this and thought I’d share
Might do a 18+ variant in the future. It was based off the all ages CG initially in 2024.
What does Girls Garden have to do with Muv-Luv? Well, here’s three words.
So a few months ago I made a post about making a friend play the trilogy and he loved it so much he made another mutual friend start playing muv luv as well in out chain of suffering and trauma, so a few days ago that second friend finished chapter 7. He hates both our guts but is really hooked.
I'll leave with you some memes that came out from this whole thing, so far
I know Kasumi ended up ruling humanity but how? Does her esper powers get stronger or something?
MLT is yet another AU, right? For some reason they think it would be nice to "borrow" material from Regenerative and put it on somewhere else. I know Regenerative is not that popular but come on. Please don't steal Yui's handiwork like that!
I managed to get a copy of the original 2007 PC version of Muv-Luv Altered Fable from a Chinese galgame archive. Unlike the Steam release, some character routes in the original version can only be unlocked by winning specific rounds of the Beach Volleyball minigame.
The problem is... I've been trying to beat it for almost three days now, and the best I've managed is an 8–10 loss in the very first match using Takeru and Suzumiya. I still haven't been able to win even the first game.
At this point I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something fundamentally wrong, or if there's some gameplay mechanic I don't understand.
I've searched Chinese forums and video sites, but I couldn't find any guides or tutorials for the Beach Volleyball minigame. So I figured I'd ask here instead.
Does anyone know of a strategy guide, or have any tips on how to consistently win the volleyball matches?
Spoilers: much better prospect of seeing Muv-Luv INTEGRATE than of ever getting Angel Beats! 2nd Beat, but that probably goes without saying.
(Insert cool ass image)
Armored Core NEXTs (from AC4/For Answer) are futuristic mechs powered by Kojima technology that allows them to have Primal Armor, a shielding technology that absorbs ballistic/explosive damage until overloaded, speeds exceeding Mach 1, and a piloting system that allows for 1:1 response times. However they do give off a bunch of radiation through Kojima particles released into the atmosphere, leading to severe pollution to the environment.
Scenario:
Let’s say a NEXT (of your choosing) appears in the Muv-Luv Alt universe and aligns with whichever nation/faction you want them to be with (Wynne D with the EU, Kasumi Sumika with Japan, Old King with Allegiance, Strayed with whoever gives the most money, etc.)
Some ideas of possible time periods for them to appear in :
- 1983 during Schwarzesmarken
- 1998 BETA invasion of Japan
- October of 2001 during MLA
In this scenario let’s give the AC’s the ability to resupply/repair so they can still function after a battle, and their technology can’t be instantly reversed engineered, which I doubt the nations of earth could even do.
If one NEXT isn’t enough, how many do you think would make a significant difference? And how would the BETA adapt? How would a NEXT perform against a laser fort (or multiple)?
Looking at the post image, why not give Muv Luv's humanity an Arms Fort as well, give America the Answerer for fun :D

Last 2 wips, will upload final images when made.
I would love an Muv luv animated series where the tone is a bit more serious and the characters are adults with no weird relationships with their own family members.
No time time warping stuff cause that's been overused, just raw and gritty stuff.
I get that this is how the anime scene was back in the 2000s and 90s but it is such a bad rep man. Also you can also make sales on characters for fan service and such with grown adults.
I've been playing Muv-Luv for probably about 2 or 3 weeks, and just now as I write this I 100% Extra and Unlimited both. I've seen everything possible and gotten the full story so far, and I'm blown away by how much I've fallen in love with it. The characters feel like real friends at this point which is a sensation that only the persona games have ever given me in a game. I've heard ever since I bought this game on a steam sale that Alternative is the pinnacle of visual novels, and my expectations are pretty high after coming off of those first 2 games.
What can i expect out of Alternative? I'm not expecting the game to make love to me and fix my entire life or anything, but will I be disappointed if I want answers to the overall story that hasn't been entirely answered yet? Like what the deal is with Kasumi, the entire dimension hopping plot point, Alternative IV, the BETA, and to just get some sort of feeling that the whole thing wraps up and connects to give more meaning to the journey so far.
Just to clarify, I think Extra and Unlimited have become some of my favorite video games recently just to experience and some parts genuinely made me tear up, so would it be wrong to expect some sort of feelings on par with that out of Alternative?
Disclaimer: not trying to insult anyone, I just want to hear opinions abou this arc.
The arcs intorduces so much things but ends poorly without resolving none of this things:
1)You expect for something crazy to happen with Sumika, but after she passes out nothing more happens to her and you don't even get an answer as to why she passed out.
2)The BETA initially did a lot of strange things, like emerging from the ground and stopping after seeing Sumika, but in the end nothing important happened with the BETA.
3)Before the battle Takeru talked with Isumi about the contrast between love and the mission, so I expected Takeru to encounter some sort of inner conflict during the mission, but this doesnt happen.
4)You expect Meya to do something crazy after reading the dialogue between Takeru and Tsukuyomi, but in the end she does nothing.
The arc concludes instead with Isumi's sacrifice, wich personally didnt even get me emotional, why am I supposed to care about her? And also I wonder what the purpose of Kashiwagi's sacrfice is, wasnt Isumi's sacrifice enough? This felt very unecessary.
Rewatching Total Eclipse again and like, yeah, ALL Muvluv characters have personality flaw. Yuuya himself is a hypocritical racist asshole with victim complex and Yui might be a cunt although at least everything she said was objectively correct.
They got better. Boy do they got better.
But you can't just introduce your group with a legitimate rape threat and expect me to sympathise with your fucking plight lmao. Good riddance.
