Not all who started this journey finished it, but those who do are changed in small but certain ways. Such is the sign of a good story, that some small wisdom is imparted to the soul. Yes, MLA is one of the very very rare stories that combines many of the elements that made those science fiction stories so unique, adds in the Japanese element of romance, and manages to release it in a coherent and engaging storyline. Of course, now that you have completed the main story, you must explore the expanding universe of ML. There is much more out there, each with its own goodness. Have fun, and welcome to the brotherhood. Yes, she may well be the keyhole character in the story. She did what she had to do, no matter what cost to others or herself. In the end she is still human, doing the work no one else can, and suffering for it.

I acknowledge that it is far from perfect if you look at the tiniest details and pick them apart with questions like, "Why TSFs?", "Why did not we do it against BETAs?", "Why did not BETAs do it sooner?", but in the end, the sums of all parts from the characters and their associated tropes, to the lolscience and political comment in the series made it a very engaging series should you invest time and interest in it. I mean, I have been reading the story, enjoying the narration and "Bah!!" paid no more mind to the critics. Because in the end, Muv Luv Alternative truly IS A Tale of Love and Courage. And with that tagline in mind, Kouki accomplisshed his mission, conveying it with all those moments of bravery and heartwarming. |

Personally I accepted the explanation that giant enemies require giant weapons, and lasers rule out planes. BETAs are aliens, who knows what they are thinking. I think enjoying the story for what it is, not just for MLA, but for everything, is the best way to go in life. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see, to quote a song. And yes, it is a tale of hope and determination, which shines through the darkness of despair. Well done, Lord of Despair. Like Pandora's box, a glimmer of hope lies beneath the layers of darkness.

When I know the effect of Operation Babylon, I am more than happy about humans having two more decades.

I thought something along the same as well. Then I played it through. Its more then just a side story. It has the potential to be as good as MLA... Do try it if you have the chance.

As there is no translated versions you will need an understanding of Japanese or use a machine translator.

While some feel as you do on Final Extra, I feel that as an ending that goes back to the beginning, it is as the end of the circle. Spoiler for Post MLA:
