They're not really connected. Some characters from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien just make an appearance in Alternative.

More cameos than spinoff then?

Oh hey, they're going to animate the stuff that happens in the future after the events of KnK.
I wonder when T-M is going to give fans what they really want and revisit F/SN in animated form. I guess it's the T-M equivalent of the FFVII remake: never gonna happen.

Yeah, I've never seen/read Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, but alternate versions of some of the characters are pilots in Muv Luv Alternative. It's just Age reusing characters.

Muv-Luv Alternative II Super Turbo Arcade Edition from this season is a great show to watch if you hate yourself, humanity, and 2D animation.so is this whole Muv luv thing... a big deal? Is it worth investing time/sanity to? I'm running quite low on both
Alright, this made me laugh pretty good.

Two out of three isn't too bad, I shall definitely check it out!
Of all the people to tell that they've forgotten how bad most anime is you tell me? The person that hates almost everything? And concerning Arcana Famiglia, fuck yes I will single that shit out. It's still the only first episode of anything this season I have not been able to finish because it sucked too hard. I finished Campione. Finished Sword Art Online. Finished Binbougami ga. Finshed Hagure Yuusha no Estetica! Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai. Natsuyuki Rendezvous. Only show I wasn't able to even sit through all the way was La storia della Arcana Famiglia. Despite being not as pervy as some of the other drek I watched this season it's still a shittier show.
Tell me what good it does to say that something is shit, but less shitty than most? Something's either good or not and just because it has competitors that are even worse does not make it better by default.
Bodacious Space Pirates stuff. I'm not going to bother quoting this or spending too much time on it because I still have seen no more of the show than I did when I made the previous post. There's really nowhere for this to go because I never plan on watching another episode.
All I will say is this, it's unusual for Privateers, pirates, to become teachers at a school. It's unusual for a school to have a pirate ship. What I'm saying is the level of integration between these pirate/privateers and the government suggests a cozier relationship than a standard Letter or Marquee would suggest. It's one thing to have a questionable, read illegal, lifestyle and it be sanctioned by the government so long as you do it towards a common enemy and a totally different thing to actually be welcomed by that government as upstanding citizens and allowed government jobs and shit like that. They are not merely granted authority by the government to sink and pillage the enemy they're welcomed with open arms as members of society which is fucking weird.
Campione stuff
The show sucked but I'm not sure it's sexist. Ok, well it is but unless everyone on a team's on the exact same level in a show if someone gets saved by someone else does it have to be sexist? Her getting saved by the MC isn't inherently sexist, the show's aimed at men, the leads a man, deal with it. I wouldn't call a show where the female lead saves a male sexist by default either. Things are what they are and if you're going to have mixed gender team ups one of the genders is going to get saved by the other.
Now the show's still sexist because she's nothing but a walking pair of tits, something for the MC to defend and someone to inspire the hero to do better. She's not a character but a plot device. So yeah, sexist show is sexist.
But I don't even care about that! What pisses me off is what a poor plot device she is! I mean, the girl can fly and she gets saved from falling! God damnit. You know, up until that point her flying was like the only fucking skill they even showed she had besides also speaking Japanese, naturally, so of all the lame things she needed to be rescued from a fall was the least of what I expected. It's also the most insulting to her as a chara.. ahem.. plot device because aside form looking pretty in a dress that's the only thing we expect her to do at that point, fucking fly. It's not like she was particularly built up in the first place but now the only thing they can do to degrade the poor woman now is have the main come in and have to translate Japanese for her, because being bilingual's the only strength she has now besides being a sex object.
But, I mean, again, it's not so much the sexism but the poor presentation of it. The show fails because the writing is fucking shit. They want her to seem cool but she's nerfed to hell, her one ability to fly's defeated in the first episode and she's repeatedly saved by some lame amateur. That's pretty insulting on it's own but then, then they have the nerve to write all the other scenes. Like seriously, why the fuck did they all go and get drunk? Just a normal nightcap for a 16 year old in Italy? Some kind of celebration for not defeating that God earlier in the episode? A celebration for delivering the tablet to the witch? Why the fuck is she getting drunk? Just for the undressing scene. It's so painful because that's the only reason the drinking scene prior existed, they didn't even bother writing in a reason for why they're getting drunk.
There's not even a hint of characterization here, they're just moving her body through scene to scene for no reason but for her to be there. And that's why the show sucks. The girl doesn't even exist as a character and as a plot point they don't even bother figuring out how she/it gets from point a to b except that however it is it's on top of a car.
You say you don't completely hate the characters, I haven't even seen the characters yet, I doubt the show has any characters. Just fucking animated plot avatars.
But it's still better than La storia della Arcana Famiglia.
And Angel Beats still sucks, not because of Key but because of itself.
They should just adapting Heaven's Feel, n all people gonna happy.
People at here gonna feel its weaker than F/Z (It is) if they are really make one but its good enough to being proper sequel for F/Z and give everyone answer that they wanted, maybe not about Saber, but no one here give a damn about Saber, so...
Yes, that post was quite the rambling. So... I'll try a tl;dr version.
With the first Muv-Luv, the developer essentially pulled a switcheroo bigger than MGS2 Raiden.
On the surface, Muv-Luv is a typical zany moe comedy, full of otaku references. The bland protagonist has a childhood friend, and now a rich and powerful lady suddenly appears and claims to be her wife, this sort of thing.
However, this moe comedy is only Muv-Luv Extra, the first half of the story. In the second half, Muv-Luv Unlimited, the protagonist would suddenly be displaced into a parallel universe, where humanity has been at war with aliens since the 1960s, and his classmates are all soldiers. The protagonist took part in training, and participated in a desperate bid for humanity's survival. His childhood friend, however, has been missing throughout the story.
The last part of the story, Muv-Luv Alternative, was released as a separate game, and is supposed to be the true heart of the story. The protagonist was again transferred back to the beginning of Muv-Luv Unlimited. He tried to use his knowledge about how things happened to influence the world for the better, but in the end, he might be only making everything worse.
The anime is an adaptation of a spinoff prequel; which, yes, means all the characters are doomed.

They really do the broken characters well, Rook last season and now Freecell. Hope he gets that puzzle time.

It's set in Alaska, so that's not necessarily true.
Basically. Extra is a shitty harem comedy, Unlimited is basically an extended prologue to Alternative where it gets all grimdark.
Yes, it's about a moe comedy protagonist being thrown into a grimdark world, no doubt the wish of many angry anime watchers.
if you got a thing for gore porn then maybe. i dunnoso is this whole Muv luv thing... a big deal? Is it worth investing time/sanity to? I'm running quite low on both

Well, I think part of the point of JP Meyer's post is, a lot of subtle things about the story only work when you've seen all of the story.
His example: a girl punching the protagonist is a generic romcom joke; but when she punches him in the third timeline, his body has been hardened by battle, and the girl's fist would hurt, turning it into a serious moment.
oh wow that sure is some high quality engrish
some characters make a cameo
Muv Luv 2
Michael Bay would be proud.
Whenever a show makes me laugh at dramatic death scenes, it's a clear cut sign to stop watching. The "It's so terrible, it's good" people might wanna try this though. The last show that had me laughing at slaughters was Blood-C.
Jinrui 2
This on the other hand is still amazing, the comedy even improved here. Looking like the early show of the season candidate.
Tari Tari 2
Eh, didn't really end up as good as I was hoping after the first episode. Seemed a bit lacking in focus. I don't think the two guys did anything besides walk around a bit this episode. More group chemistry would have been better, hopefully it'll come together.

KGNE and the first shitty romcom part are in the same timeline. The KGNE characters also have minor cameo appearances in Muv-Luv Alternative.

GALAXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Good episode. Not much really happened since it seems like it's setting itself up for another arc but holy crap I loved how fleshed out and detailed the Culture Festival was in this episode.
Also new ED = big upgrade

Is that fan art? If that's shown in the VN, I somehow missed it.

Surprisingly watchable for something from the 70s, even if the dialogue is comically flat sometimes.
Feels like I'm watching history...

Depends on what you use to make GIFs.
Well since that image in marked NSFW I won't risk clicking it now. Something to look forward to at home time.
It's probably from some art or databook as I got it from ***SPOILERS***here***I GUESS I DUNNO HAVEN'T PLAYED THE VN'S*** with a list of all the different BETA's.

Gundam Age 39
Gundam Legilis, Gundam Age 2, and G-Exes are probably my favorite ones in the anime. I think it possibly the best of the third gen in terms of not being all that bulky but still being fast, and having the best accessories. I wonder what new Earth forces suits will be developed in response.

Lord Ezelcant sama has some dedication and I really hope he survives long enough for his goal. Time is ticking on his life, though if he dies, would Zehearto assume the missions and still carry out attacks on Earth? With three destinies I wonder who will ultimately bring about the resolution. Also Asemu was quite good for being a non x rounder still, while Kio was pretty pointless though making a few strides.

That wiki is full of 4chan trolling and gags, but maybe that image is legit. Hah, I never noticed that before.
hyouka 11.5
the whole episode was just oreki checking out chitanda's body.
after this awkward moment i think he was fairly satisfied!
dunno, i think i can make out an indistinct lump somewhere
The best part was when she was initially asking him for help, and he takes two extra glances at her chest before giving in.hyouka 11.5

Tuxedo Mask's swag does reach some amazing levels.
Oreki finally putting his hesitance into good use for once.
