Not sure if this is worth adding to the OP but it's worth keeping in mind: it appears that AveX sold aNCHOR and with it Muv-Luv to DMM, the fate of the franchise after this is unknown and unknowablehttps://www.reddit.com/r/MuvLuv/s/xe6jfgqR5RPictured: DMM carting the Muv-Luv IP away in the dead of night

>>23878747Yes, this is the source.
>>23878634this post is very chatgpt
Howdy anons! My hobby shop recently went under and I was wondering if a model kit by Kotobukiya (specifically Shirunsi Second) was worth the purchase or not.
>>23878789Given Kouki's embrace of AI Art, and the use of AI assets in Tactics, it's just keeping in with the fate of the franchise.
>>23878630>>Strike Frontiers assetsHow comprehensive are the contents of that file?
There's a loop out there where Meiya felt so momentarily blueballed when takeru stopped right before raping her that she raped him instead.
>>23879655Her later dialogue does seem to imply part of her felt a bit disappointed when he bailed, so maybe not that unrealistic
Kouki told me on twitter I was saying bullshit about the coup d'etat being changed by political events but then did not elaborate, funniest shit ever but I don't know if I should apologize or something
>>23879080>Also, in a place where traffic is lolWhat did Kouki mean by this?
>>23879861He's tried to re-write the history of the production of his VNs multiple times. My guess is he denies that anti-Japanese protests in 2004/5 had any impact upon the desire to down down the nationalism of Sagiri's followers. I'm sure he'd claim these days there was no issue around Miyata Sou, and the artist left the company of his own will and didn't almost implode Total Eclipse.
>>23880206>anti-Japanese protests in 2004/5What?
>>23880240https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_anti-Japanese_demonstrations
>>23880254And why would anyone involved with the VN give give any consideration to such issues when they have no impact on an IP that was never meant to be marketed beyond its own borders at the time it was made?
>>23880552I dunno, ask Kouki. He'll bullshit an explanation.
>>23880567When he doesn't even have to?
>>23880669NTA, but have you seen his streams? This guy will rant about fucking anything until he feels it's established he is 100% in the right and correct.I don't even remember the details anymore because it's been so long, but during covid he ranted about toilet paper shortages for the better part of an hour by connecting them to Japanese nationalism.
I have updated the archive againRecent changes:>Unlimited Manga>MuvLuv Complete Soundtrack>Reorganised files and foldersI plan to upload the full 20th anniversary box edition this week sometime (its pretty large) as well as the Alternative mangaI'll keep updating here and there if i find other things lying around
>>23881273Thank you for your service to the community
>>23881273Still no word on whether or not someone out there still has KimiNozo Guy's last fileshare?
>random Watchmen quote
>>23882363The TDA translation is full of 'em.
>>23882916Translators playing fast and loose?
>>23883090this always bugs me because there's probably some actual references to stuff like how Nyight Of the Living Cat did with Jones, but it's such a fucking spaghetti code to get the reference as it was dubbed in Japaneselike for a hot minute I was working under the hypothesis that Ayanami's line in EoE about no longer being your puppet might have been from Data in that TNG with him and Lore and the Borg, but it turned out the jp dialog in TNG was miles away
>>23883107>it's such a fucking spaghetti code to get the referenceIs that proper use of that term?
>>23883151ehh, tough to untangle, convoluted over multiple instancesit's not exactly the OG intent but it mostly works
Just finished unlimited. What a bitter ending, I went for chizuru, and told her to get on the ship. That felt like the best option I could give her, and yet it still sucks. Nothing is preventing the beta from reaching her and destroying the planet, and the best case scenario for humanity is to become space age nomads that hop from planet to planet. I'm gonna get the true ending and see how that leads to alternative. Pic unrelated.
>>23884045? There is no true end for Unlimited.
>no full scenes for muv luv OG alternative girls part 2 >nobody cares heregod damn it the uploader probably didn't have enough money to get the pulls lol>>23879655>no canon doujin based around this momentfucking cringe leymei died too soon
>>23884046My friend said I had to do Meiya's route for the true ending. I'm gonna assume thah one ties into alternative.
>>23884057Anon, every single ending in Unlimited happens as part of a different round on the time-loop and it's not until Alternative that Takeru breaks through and actually remembers shit
>>23884057eh I think Meiya -> Meiya makes the most sense.
>>23884057>>23884063>>23884095Meiya's ending in Unlimited is different because what the kid says changes
>>23884097I don't remember. Isn't it always the same Matane!!! no matter who you pick?
>>23884115I assure you, I wouldn't be remembering it as different if it hadn't been.Bye-bye
>>23884097God I haven't played this game in 20 years yet I still know that her name is Mitsurugi Meiya.
>>23884137I'm confused, so did it or did it not change???
>>23884245I'm pretty sure the rest don't say it in English
Girls Garden is going a crossover event with the cast of Total Eclipse next. Can't wait for people to beg for all the Stella H-scenes.
>>23884565>won't even get the scenes until like 3 months down the line>nobody uploads the full scenes anymore with audioREEEEEEEEE paypigsss come on keep it up!!!
>>23884565Why no Inia or Martika?
>>23884565finally Stella, saving my pulls was worth it>>23884595there's a (DMM Fanza Games)Gacha game thread in 8 chan where you can grab some scenes
>>23884611muv luv alt girls part 2? uwu r43 guy hasn't uploaded it yet..... and it's been months.
>>23884725yupr43 guy is way too late get to torrenting pronto
>>23884743fuckkk you are blessed bro. man sucks I'm too stupid for this I have no idea what board to go on to find it. is there another source where I can grab the torrents?
>>23884045it is such a great ending
>>23884057it ties to The Day After stories but I suggest you read alternative first
>>23884765/h/ boardthere is no other source that i know of
>>23884778fuck me im too stupid for this holy fuckcan't find the "h" board but found hentai and hentai games and neither have the DMM general.
>>23884565>Can't wait for people to beg for all the H-scenes.FTFY
>>23884787hey that's me
>>23884743Wish someone had the presence of mind to do that with KimiNozo Guy's stash when he up and vanished on us.
>>23884785type this in the address bar(pray to yuuko sensei you know what an address bar is)
https://xcancel.com/muvluvseries/status/2060224639876636765?s=20
>>23885139
>>23884565did they recast the voice actors or how is this gonna work?
>>23880254I'm asian and have literally never heard of this up till today
>>23885162Recast or silent
>>23884063Why spoil that when he says he has just finished Unlimited? Dumb
>>23885162>>23885218recast most likelyhope they bring back Cryska's Seiyuustill active as of last yearhell I can still remember some of her voiced H-scenes in some of her VN work
>>23885296>why spoiler something from Alternative when the guy hasn't started it yetDumb
>>23884565I continue to find it hilarious that their most successful Muv-Luv gatcha is a cutesy spin-off that distances itself from the aesthetics of Unlimited/Alternative. ( Even if it eventually dropped a very dark revelation about the state of the world.)BTW, so after TE we probably can expect SM or Day After collab. I lean toward the former. Tho I think other teams also have a fair chance of appearing. Like Valkyries.Personally, I want Young Yui and her Squad.>>23884598Now now. They have to milk fandom for a while longer. We still didn't get many others. Those Collabs will be fed to us, every few months, giving us rest of the cast. And prognosis so far looks promising, Girls Garden might finally survive for longer than a Year and a half, so eventually we will get most, if not all, female characters from other ML titles.
>>23884812thank you thank you thank youmy fucking dumbass went on another chan and i was like wtf is this??/
>>23885358It's actually very worrying to me that they're already spamming collabs when the game isn't even a year old, because that's usually a sign revenue is going down the shitter and you're trying to get people to whale by creating omega level fomo units
>>23884598They’ll probably be in part 2 of the collab, like what happened with the Alternative collab.
yuuko and marimo soon plz
honestly reading through the manga adaptations and they're actually pretty solid. I think they also give some added lore not in the VN. (Is it even considered canon? I guess so). I mean with the manga as a literal storyboard, I have no idea why MLA went for a full on anime adaptation instead of short clips instead....
It's funny how nobody gives a shit about the MLA light novel adaption. I don't even see Japanese people talk about them.
>>23885515never read it, is it better or worse than the manga adaptation?
>>23885506>Is it even considered canon?not to anyone with more than 2 brain cells
>>23885444And Nikke had first collab like 3-4 months after it's release. Or Magia Record had collab event with some spinn off from Puella Magica franchise should fail but iirc that game lasted like 5 years.Gacha doing collabs is not a indication of problems. Especially when they are done with something that came from same IP. Which basically makes obtaining right to use it very cheep.I think MLGG is doing alright.
>>23884812Why a cap of the address?
>>23885212They seem to have occurred only in China, so unless you're Chinese that's probably why.
>>23886238cant post 8 -chan links on my end for some reason
>>23885218>>23885162https://x.com/Muvluv_GG/status/2060300992147812677Don't remember if these VAs were from Dimensions or not.
>>23886324No, this is an entirely new set of recasts. 星名みちる has 0 hits on the entire internet so it's probably a new alias by some random low level eroge seiyuu
Also, anybody here know if old events can still be read in girls garden or if its one of those games where they just tell you to go fuck yourself for starting late?
Seeing Shirogane from an outsider's perspective really drives home how fucking good he is at playing with giant robots like holy shit
Some time back I wondered how it is that Sagiri ALWAYS makes the wrong fucking decision regardless of what timeline he's in, and apparently he's aware of how much of a fuck-up he is lmao
>>23886790>Imperial RoyalDid Austria-Hungary survive the First World War in this timeline?
>>23886790yeah his scenes in TDA are really good,that sequence where he curb stomps the frogs is priceless
Okay so I finished TDA03.What the fuck am I supposed to do now?
>>23887164sufferingwat else
>>23887169NONE OF MY QUESTIONS ARE ANSWEREDWHY DOES TAKERU WORK IKARUGAWHAT THE FUCK IS IKARUGA EVEN TRYING TO DOIS ELLEN A SPY OR NOTWILL MARIMO BE OKAYWILL MATSUKAZE AND KUSUMOTO BANG?AAAAAHHHHHHH
>>23887171congratsyou feel exactly as we all did at some pointwelcome to the club
>>23887173I thought this series was past the ability to hurt me but I was wrongagain
>>23887171>IS ELLEN A SPY OR NOThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWKi5QbAHFY
>>23887171Girl's Garden might answer some of them when the TDA Collab happens. That's the best you're likely to get.
PelleKuklos introduced me to Yuuki Suzuhara from TDA a few days ago.He definitely knows I'm into anime girls whose internal narratives sound like a Milk Talk song mixed with thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek02nG9gKcA
>>23887591>internal narratives sound like a Milk Talk song mixed with thisWat's that even mean?
>>23887599Cute cool lo-fi beetz built on a delicate foundation waiting to turn into a frenetic panic attack the moment something goes wrong.
>>23887591You've been around long enough to know they're a character archetype that exists in almost every single post-Alternative Muv Luv story. The designated 'CHOMP' victim, who exist to die so we know the stakes, while missing the entire point of the CHOMP which is that it's only shocking after you've spent 20+ hours with them to make their death meaningful. They're all plot devices wearing the skin of characters who exist to make you feel sad when they inevitably die.
>>23888433In TDA03 Ellen actually talked about "side characters who exist to just die after we've gotten attached to them"
>>23888433It's like they've turned into some sort of demented self-parody of the cliche.Or it's like each new character who's the designated Despair Blob is wearing the previous dead Despair Blob's corpse as a pelt.or smthin liek dat.
>>23888601Which is funny, because I 100% believe Ellen was intended to die in TDA 04. The War Dogs of TDA were named for the War Dogs of Ace Combat 5, and Wardog 3, Alvin H. ‘Chopper’ Davenport, was shot down and killed late in AC5 in the mission ‘Journey Home’. It seems highly likely that was to be Ellen’s fate. Having lost the Hibikibowl decisively to Yuzuka, her character had nowhere left to go but to die in battle, saving Hibiki, Yuzuka and Shizuku. Ellen’s increasingly fatalistic attitude, demonstrated when she promises to go down together with Shuzuku when they’re about to be overrun by BETA deep in the JFK Hive, would’ve seen her crash and burn in a tragic moment intended to be TDA’s version of the CHOMP. Sadly, TDA never got far enough to where Ellen’s arc could conclude.
>>23888616No death for Ellen. Only healing and bright lights.
>>23888620She was never gonna get togther with Hibiki. From the very first shot of 01, Yuzuka was designated love interest and the story railroaded those two together. Plus, I'm sure she'd have straight up murdered anyone who got between her and Hibiki. Every post-Alternative romance is horribly undercooked, and Hibiki/Yuzuka is no exception.
>>23888627Just because she killed her first romantic rival doesn't mean she was going to kill the next one too... probably...
>>23888630I think she would've killed anyone who stood between her and Hibiki. If there were routes, she'd be the antagonist of most of them. There's a bit of Homura Manami in how possessive Yuzuka is and how she gaslights Hibiki into misremembering what happened to them on their odyssey across the US, but the writers never really got to do anything with it. So much wasted potential in TDA, but then that's true of almost everything post-Alternative.
Was it mention how many years it took for the colony ships to arrive at the planet where Shirogane and his chosen partner in Unlimited settled?
>>23889382No, because that never happened. Shirogane wasn't on the ship.
>>23889382The Unlimited ending begins with Takeru saying "I had a dream", everything you see in there about the wishful hopes of the colony ships successfully achieving their goal is an image in his mind
>>23889523>>23890193Contrary to Kouki who says it's because Takeru is alive and jarred.
>>23887171I don't understand the entire logic behind TDA. If it's part of the Unlimited loop, doesn't this mean Takeru will die at some point, everything gets reset, and then eventually the events of MLA happen? What is even the point?
>>23890263To consume more Muv Luv. It's a pointless side story that exists to keep the franchise alive in between its big releases like Total Eclipse or Schwarzesmarken. It's the Half Life Episodes of Muv Luv, and like them ends on a cliffhanger with nothing ever resolved because they ran out of creative and financial juice before they could finish it.
>>23889523>>23890193No. Koki says that they do reach the planet, but that's only because Shirogane becomes a brain in a jar. The moment he dies, it resets.
>>23890263There's a weird question of what happens when Sumika dies, if she even does. On the other hand, yes, the point is just a what-if before Sumika loops again.
>>23890263I mean the original idea was just to fill the gap of Takeru's story that wasn't even really a gap because he kinda has amnesia anywayThen that shifted to mainly telling a story about original characters, I can't tell you what the point of that was because the ending never got released and the original author doesn't work on the IP anymore.Whatever it has become now does feel pretty pointless though, because Kouki is seemingly writing some giant battle for the sake of the entire planet featuring multiple XG-70s. The entire premise of this spinoff is that it's the DOOMED timeline
It's been two years since I first finished Alternative. Today I for some reason wanted to listen to the opening again and teared up when I did so.Thanks for reading my blog I guess
>>2387863065648236878
>>23890289Since you seem to know stuff. I haven't followed the franchise since I finished Total eclipse like 20 years ago. Did they eventually get to the homeworld of the aliens to destroy them?
>>23890618Anon, nothing has happened. There is no new content except for gachas.
>>23890618there one single issue of a lore magazine 12 years ago that ends with them sending a ship towards that planet in the future. It was never followed up on
>>23890618>Did they eventually get to the homeworld of the aliens to destroy them?Sequel isn't out. All we know is that Union of Mankind cleansed the solar system first while the Elpis-class and Sirius motherships are about to head to the homeworld.
>>23890635>>23890639How are humans supposed to do anything against the sheer numbers of Beta in the universe? Or is there like a Hyperordinate that controls the Superordinates?
>>23890642
>>23890713Ah, basically just getting in touch with the admin and telling it to reconfigure their mining drones
>>23890618stolen valor
>>23891570Yui still is the best.
>>23891668yui still the dumbest
>>23891688Not so sure about that.
>>23891712>not posting the koi tte nani macroYou had one job, anon!
>>23891718I didn't feel like hunting it down.
I thought the new game would be out by now.was it delayed or something?
>>23891843Purease understando, geimu deverupmento very hardo
>>23891843tactics?Anchor went bankrupt and the entire franchise was sold to DMM, which hasn't even been publicly announced yet. You're lucky if it releases at all, chances are DMM decides it isn't worth further investment and just cancel development.
>>23891886Also, as far as I remember the actual developer company behind the game is literally owned by Avex, so decent chance inter-corpo bullshit prevents further development
>>23891888The most cursed IP in existence
>>23891886>>23891888Well, shit, this series really makes me fucking depressed
>>23891843It’s only available to backers right now. Not sure if it’s a beta build or the full release.
>>23892056It is a BETA build, complete with AI assets.
>>23892056>2 patches in 6 monthsyeah this isn't coming out
>>23892172You dare doubt the Road to Integrate?
>>23892093I thought the AI art was just for the backer portraits. Not that it's an excuse though, they really overpromised by offering unique art for everyone who bought in at that tier.>>23892181All they need is an infusion of KanColle money from DMM. A couple of collabs should pay for Resonative at the very least, right?
>>23891712as opposed to yui who gives up her inheritance and acts like yuuya but japanese instead of american
>>23891734https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nN95L40i6I
>>23892181New owners, baby. DMM have no obligation to continue down that road. On the contrary, they'll most likely take the IP down a completely different road. They've found the secret to making money off of Muv Luv, and it's all about the goon.
>>23892667in this age that how you made money of anything desu, that didnt stop Fate GO, Nikke, GFL or Arknights to have big aspirations in the story department. Dmm still pushes Utawarerumono and Leaf products on a honest way so we really dont know if it will be as bad as before>>23892508why the delete? lmao

>>23892747
AAAAAAAAA when is stella dropping in gg?
>>23893249What about Cryska? There's barely been any posts of her. Stella at least gets some involvement in the story so far.
>>23893266Cryska is in the locker room getting bullied
>>23893249pretty sure collab part 2
>>23893268She's here but not anything else.
Surely, Schwarzesmarken girls in the next collab, right?
>>23895467But the TE collab doesn't even have Inia.
when does girls garden story get good, they're just having endless student battles
>>23895477chapter 7
>>23895467Wouldn't it be the TDA girls next?
>>23895486SM came out before TDA, didn't it?
>>23893266Who are the two on the right?
>>23895552No, TDA came out first, between 2010 and 2014. SM1 came out in 2015.
Today, I hurt myself by rewatching the only material from Resonative and Integrate that will ever existhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtP3evfBbXghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7d2WT1TK7s
lmao
>>23896142What's that below Integrate?
>>23896197kaseki no uta
>>23896204And it's such a joke why the fuck would kouki have the need to make it in the same universe as muv luv
>>23896207Perhaps this is a troll move to get us all scratching our heads. As expected of the master!
>>23896207It would be funny to think that, before everything went to hell, he was planning remake it, in the same vein of KimiIta
>>23896207If you'd bothered to read the translation, you'd know there's a surprising amount in Kaseki that reads like first drafts for ideas in Alternative. The 'Dolls' in Kaseki are pretty much 00 Units.
I've been out of the loop for a long while. Any word on Schwarzesmarken's VN ever getting a proper western release?
>>23897062Nope, and given that the IP now belongs to DMM and not Avex, expect it to take even longer if it does happen.
>>23897092Well that's pretty disappointing. I've been studying Japanese for a few years now though, only thing really stopping me from reading it raw is that I don't want to look up kanji constantly and ruin the flow of reading. If I get good enough to read it smoothly before it comes out maybe I'll try to FanTL it at least.
>>23897097I hope someone does, because SM is the only Muv Luv entry not translated yet. Well, it and War Ensemble, but nobody cares for that one.
>>23897128and nobody should care about SM
>>23885358Don't group Unlimited in with Alternative. GG is the first Muv-Luv gacha that actually tries to honor the spirit of Unlimited as a cutesy academia with a dark secret lurking beneath. It amazes me that Kouki not only struck lightning in a bottle, he had the opportunity to catch it for years and decided he needed to do things the hard way.
>>23892667If anything DMM might be able to step in and force them to re-route it back to VN development, or at least greatly simplify their gameplay aspirations.
>>23895656Lucie Moorcroft and Dorothea Kirkland, respectively.
Is there any english version of the total eclipse light novel?
Is the shower scene in ep 4 of total eclipse anime original or is it adapted from the ln/vn/manga?
>>23897092But DMM has like, an imprint that exists just to bring VNs to the gaijin? Surely they didn't buy Muv-Luv just to sit on it and NOT try to make money off of their existing backlog of titles?
>>23897473I've never seen the anime but Stella was taking a shower if you went to her hut, is this what you meant?
>>23897660There is a shower scene with Stella, Tarissa and Valerio in the anime. It's weird since it came out of nowhere so I was wondering is it an anime original.
>>23897679Definitely anime original then
>>23897679damn i want to shower with stella too
>>23897772i want to shower on stella
>>23899029I want Stella to shower on me
The Green Devil route of KimiNozo is the one you want if you have a piss fetish. Plenty of urine in that one.

>>23899115Whose?
I just want to play with stella’s tits…
>>23886743If you still don't know how to read em in game you just need to exchange for an item in an on going event's shop. 2 pre event I think.

reading the TE collab is funny as fuck man, the GG characters aren't voiced but the TE girls are because they recast them for the collab, but then Yuuya isn't voiced because he's a man.

>>23899851Marimo Forever was a pretty decent entry in the series. It's a shame Schumacher never got a chance to make Marimo Unchained.
Man, am disappointed with stella's h scene, but at least there was a shower
>>23902045All the more reason to lament the loss of SF.
>>23902045So does that mean Cryska was just there in that one scene?
Yuimouto...
>>23902492I am a slave to Stella boobs
If it gets too bad, I might even end up playing Project Mikhail to kill the withdrawal symptoms
Kumiko Murakami/Minami Kuribayashi (Haruka and Kasumi) turns 50 today. Her Tweet announcing her birthday:https://x.com/minamiracle6_6/status/2064910376710623420
>>23903393Happy birthday, Valkyrie Mommy!
>>23903393Still looking good. A-grade MILF.
>>23899851>>23900899There hasn't been a 4th update... was that it?
Does someone know why the actual reason the muv-luv anime (2005) got cancelled?
https://x.com/i/status/2065268099339685962Muv Luv's following the Symphogear Playbook and doing merch now.
>>23904937It performed like shit, anybody telling you anything else is lyingthey literally had Takeru's new Seiyuu go on an official livestream and beg people to buy the BDs if they want the show to continue
>>23905262>>>>>>2005
>>23905262read, bro...
>>23905281>>23905300sry I am high on pain killersKouki just said it was about to start production when one of the producers backed out at the last second, which caused the entire thing to collapse in a chain reaction. Can't remember if he mentioned him by name but he said the same guy came back for the MLA anime (Kouki was happy about it, can't remember if the show had aired yet)Could probably find him by comparing KGNE anime credits with MLA S1 credits, but who really cares at this point
>>23904937Kouki threw a massive fit wanting the entire trilogy animated at once.
>>23890340He wants to return to Kashgar.
>>23905424never been done before in this franchise, FR FR
Archive updateI've finally uploaded the 20th anniversary box edition and ayu mayu alternative the box edition basically has all of Ages stuff in it , have fun downloading 60GB over mega though
I don't think she's a playable character in this event.
>>23905623nice
>>23905623tysm for the archive update>>23905421It's impossible to be happy in this franchise holy shit>>23905323We care don't we? I mean it's kinda a dead franchise at this point and we still try to engage with it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6sAi4ApqDMI like the GG girls. I actually appreciated how they've incorporated crossovers with them so far. There's a very low hanging fruit with Dorothea they could've made by pairing her up with Meiya rather than the TE girls that they avoided, which annoyed me at first but I 'got' it would diminish her standing.
>>23906309I just don't really care for the writing style in GG events but I guess that's just me chasing the dragon that was the Symphogear gacha for the rest of my life
\Still no word on KNG or his old file?
>>23906402XDU got lucky. They got some very well-done events written by competent writers including Kaneko himself. Not a single Muv Luv Gacha has ever had that kind of luck.You could've even done a Muv Luv/Symphogear event in XDU, and I think it would've worked.
>>23906714You could do anything in that fucking game, the Gamera collab was set in post nuclear fallout Japan and was about supporting the military against a swarm of never ending flesh eating kaiju birds, which is pretty much muv luv already. I tried Heaven Burns Red too because it is muv luv + yuri coded, but I couldn't handle Maeda Jun dropping an absolute garbage event story and deleting his twitter account due to backlash 3 times in a row.
ngl one thing I wish we got for the remasters was fully voice acted Takeru. I know you guys would disagree but I swear to fucking god MEIYAAAAAAAAA was voice acted in Alternative but it ended up just being that one scene in Unlimited....
>>23907487Someone please muzzle kouki. He needs the Immortals developer treatment.
>Find cool novel made by nipponese about takeru in alt going on a side quest>it even has some pretty cool art>it only goes to chapter 5>chapter 6's never happened>its been dead for pretty much over a decadepain.Fan novel/SS in question: MUV-LUV ALTERNATIVE Another Route SS [Muv Luv Alternative ~Thou Shalt Not Die~]Its got fucking Gouda in it.Right now english fanfics for muv luv have stalled pretty badly (seems that some new ones will appear in august..?), and for me current nipponese ones arent enough, so i think acting like a retard and posting about old japanese fics here from time to time is a decent idea.

The guy who drew the art is LUCK GEAR, i think? he's got a muv luv submission on nhentai to his name (albeit untranslated). Apparently they were suppose to take over the production of chpater 6, but seems like it never happened.
>>23908666As someone who's been involved in Muv Luv fanfics for a good six years now, they're as creatively bankrupt as Muv Luv itself. You can split them into three, the 'another loop', which is the most popular one, and which goes against the whole point of Alternative that there is no happy ending without sacrifice. To have Takeru be a gigachad who effortlessly saves everyone and wins the day is a spit in the face of Alternative.Then there is the 'self-insert' fic, the second most popular. Some of them can be good, but they don't tend to last long, because the writer just wants to write about their dude in a cool robot fighting aliens, and a bigger, deeper narrative is beyond them.Finally we get the massive crossover stories which tend to fit Muv Luv into other real or super robot shows, or even unrelated stories like 'Reign of Fire'. In interests of full disclosure, that's also what I do. If you're not interested in those other media they won't appeal, and so those stories don't tend to get many readers.In terns of fanfics generally, nothing beats Wei Luxin's ones. They're good enough that he got to write official material off the back of them, an achievement nobody else will ever get.
>>23908683Oh I like this artist. They're still around but they don't do much anymore.>Yuuhimeh, I prefer blue
