The main problem with BETA is their laser class units. They can launch a light speed unstoppable attack which has an incredible long range. That and their sheer numbers is what really fucks humanity. But without laser it would be so much simplier.

Still if I were in that situation I'd wonder what would be the point in fighting so hard to stop their advance on earth when they could always send more hives from space.
Then again I guess there's actually people in that universe that realized the futility of hoping to save the planet.

Complete desertification. All life is eradicated, all resources are exploited and the hives are enlarged to collosal sizes.

What Jan-poo said. You have to remember that this isn't exactly a war in the human sense. BETA claiming a territory simply means that there's no longer any humans around, and those few who are will soon get eaten.

First off, DEM BODYSUITS!

I did like Yui with her short hair but still much prefer her long hair look, just a pity we didn't get to see her in one of DEM BODYSUITS!

And so introduction to the cast, which given how the the 1st eps went I have doubts on how this show will affect me since I am largely interested in the cast thats shown up now.
Venus is a dead given I'm gonna like, busty blonde swede(is it me or are they stereotyping here?), whats not to like?!
Also she looks amazing in DEM BODYSUITS!
Macaroni is as you expect him to be like I guess, the icebreaker, dude with words of wisdom of the cast.
Chobi has proved to be a surprise, I knew what to expect and she turns out exactly like I expected her to be like but she's more than that, I also seem to quite smitten by her as well.
Top Gun is...well with a nick like "Top Gun", again whats not to like?
And lastly the Russian girls are so far, interesting is all I got.
I like that one of them has a slight sadistic side to them, I think I can dig that.

Can't help but think of Top Gun meets Starcraft meets Starship Troopers now.

I love the fact the mechs are named after real life aircrafts.

Episdoe ends on a nice note, why nice?

Cause I love conflict and juicy drama!

p.s DEM BODYSUITS!

While I haven't watched the actual ep yet, the fact that a Swede is in it (bar the usual visual stereotyping used for Americans anyway, but in this case it's actually true and I like her design), it has me a bit psyked. It isn't often that happens and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her.

Fangasm @ mecha battle. Screw the plot, screw the characters, or heck, screw the romance. I can watch this series all cour long if it's only going to be mock battles after mock battles like that.

These are the last aces of the country? or their best.... then why was that loud mouth girl in their too? She doesn't act a professional at all. Top Gun looks cool and has skill but his flashback with the other pilot interest me. What did he do to warrant that reaction. It looks to me that he is good and skilled. Specially the now long haired "Japanese Doll" Lt. She looks so stuck up on her work to me and take it too seriously and also strict but why would he said that? and why was this project centered to Top Gun? I have too many questions on this series because I don't have any prior knowledge of it and even seeing people discuss about the types of mechs and some info's given. I still didn't understand much. Maybe I would just play the game if I had free time. Another question. When I look at vndb it said that total eclipse run in the same world of alternative. What does this mean? these 2 story is played at the same time? like the alternative is main story and total eclipse is side story? or both are main story and has each own ending that doesn't effect the others without prior knowledge of the other one?

Overall the episode is good to me but Yui leave a bad impression to me on the near ending. I don't know her reasons are and I wish it will be answered next episode or at least someone answered it for me. Even via PM is welcome because I don't get the story at all. I only understand is nomnom that people keep typing with.

Hahaha yea could have it like a Top Gear setup, Top Gear:Muv-Luv!

"On today's show, we attempt to get our TSF's through the Beta controlled territory without being Nom Nommed on!"

"Cue the music"

Oh man wild thought but what if the mysterious pilot of the mysterious TSF is the STIG!!

Total Eclipse is a side story set in the same world as Alternative, so you got that right. That said, the story for Total Eclipse doesn't intersect with the main plotline of Alternative at all, being set in a different location in the world.

As for the main story, there are TWO threads in the game section detailing the main Plot, as well as the Military tech and Geopolitics of the universe. Do drop by!

Well, that wasn't half bad at all. This anime is shaping up to be one of the better ones of the summer in my mind.

Actually was thinking of Muv Luv: Top Gun. Or considering they've already nicknamed Yuuya as Top Gun, maybe it isn't a coincidence at all.

Yep. That is why it is a Military Sci Fi wet dream. What is a military sci fi tale without Marines vs intergalactic aliens who love to NOM!

Starship Troopers already had Mecha type armor already (powered armor/exoskeletons) They were able to jump really long distances and throw Nukes around to destroy the enemies.

with the addition of the disturbing screams of horror and pain? Not for me. It was bad enough in the novels already.
