Clearly the animators wanted a flashy introduction but also wanted to do a "show dont tell" introduction to the background details to the series. I'd rather have things in order than suddenly starting at Ep 3 and having to find out all the background info in flashbacks or in pieces or just being a verbal info-dump. But anyway, that's my POV. Hope you have better luck elsewhere. Quote:
Clearly eps 1-2 were "introduction", with a 3 year timeskip right at the end. So I'm not surprised for there to be "a" change of pace with ep 3 but yeah... its quite severe. If you dont like it you dont like it. Hope you dont feel like you wasted too much of your time.

Bottomline, for you to say that fans of Muv-Luv don't know what Muv-Luv is about is insulting the time and emotions they invested in the VNs (because that is what it takes to bring oneself to care about the characters) and various medias. This is as bad as people writing it off because "it is just a porn game". P.S.: I am currently playing the VNs so I know about that time and emotional investment.

Wrong. TE is not just any side story... It's the least engaging side story in the franchise unless the person loves the TSFs a lot. <3 Let them drop it. The series is certainly not for everyone since each person have different tastes when it comes to... pretty much everything. It's much better than having them waste their time and end up in disappointment in the end. Let them enjoy their shows, and we'll enjoy ours in peace. Even if someone drops it, it'll be okay. I'll just pick it up and dust it off. lol Last but not least, you might want to edit your post just in case. Last edited by Silvance; 2012-07-19 at 23:11. |

So it looks like it's canon that an australian force helped COSEAN... Good, that's more fodder for my fanfic...
Guess I might as well recycle some OCs. Also, I'm not surprised the Aussies are in the fight - there's a littlr treaty called FPDA that states that if Malaysia is attacked, Australia will come to help.

Your proposal that "Muv-Luv fans don't know what Muv-Luv is about" stems from the simple misunderstanding created by the misconception that "Muv-Luv Alternative = Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse", which is completely wrong. The tone, plot urgency etc. of the first two episodes were present to a greater extent in Muv-Luv Alternative, while Total Eclipse was meant to be a sidestory showing a completely different side of the war altogether, on the R&D side behind the front lines. Unfortunately skipping right into that would leave new viewers kind of lost so they created two introductory episodes right from nothing that bring across some (though not all) of the tone of Muv-Luv Alternative. Then with that done they got right into Total Eclipse which is of course completely different in tone, it was written to be that way from the beginning. Because it was originally written for people who had already cleared Muv-Luv Alternative. Meaning that it's not that "fans don't know what it's about", it's that "completely new viewers don't know what it's about, fans are just happy to see a different side of the world from what they've already seen". |

But it does sell TSF kits and figures. Or is apparently meant to, else they wouldn't have funded the anime. |

I'm pretty sure any COSEAN mix would be slanted towards the F-16, given that Indon, Thailand and Singapore use the F-16, and Phillipines has expressed interest in it.
Large numbers of F-5s would have gotten chewed up in earlier engagements, I think, which would require replacements. Malaysia would choose the F-18 because of wanting to be different, as well as perhaps influence from the Australians. Which might mean no Sukhois for us, unless Najib got all crazy with his buying ideas again... Hmmm. Butterworth hosts rotating dets of RAAF... RMAF/RAAF exchange programs.... I can work with this.

Also, I'd thing you Singies would be getting Eagles - Strike Eagles at least, with the option for Silent Eagles in the future. That'd work somwhat... Except that I'm only fluent in English and Bahasa Malaysia, and my Bahasa Indon's a bit rusty.

Yeah, time for him to learn how to fly a TSF in a manner that doesn't involve abusing thruster power alone. Also apparently a shower scene. Was this what Yoshimune was worried about when he tweeted his doubts about Episode 4 being unsuitable for broadcast? |
