#MUV LUV BETA TSF SERIES#

The other characters in the series has different personalities as well. Unlike Cryska though, Inia is much more gentler and treats other people with kindness especially Yuuya who she adores like an older brother. She is Cryska's most precious individual (and “sister”) in that twisted world. On the other hand, we got Inia 'Scarlet Twin' Sestina. She is the cold beauty of the series with an equally cold ability to fly the unfriendly skies of the series and doing what she does best. Let's take for example:Ĭryska 'Scarlet Twin' Barchenowa who is of the Soviet descent has a cold personality and is afraid to let people get close to her because the state of her mentality. His short temper and characteristics forms a barrier between most of the other characters in the beginning with him presenting an attitude of “don't fuck with me” personality.Īnd speaking of personalities, this series mixes in different characters with different characteristics.

He is of the Japanese American descent who follows his roles a strong soldier against the forces of the BETA. Starring opposite her though is the ever stubborn, short-tempered, confident Yuuya Bridges.

It seems Yui has become that much more confident and with her status now as lieutenant. If you thought this was a show about hot girls doing hot things, then think again.įrom there though, everything shifts to present time and we get to see the other characters of the series. And with that, blood is spilled with a brutality of violence is presented to the viewers. In a tragic twist, she is forced into immediate combat with her classmates for the first time against the powerful BETA. To be honest, high school is never too fun for most people but in Yui's case has gotten that much grimmer. In fact, it's not what most of us expected but a rather dark flashback with Yui in her final days of high school. When I watched it, there's seems to be a sort of “mindfuck” reaction. The first episode isn't what we might expect. Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse focuses on the exploration of these battles, characters' interactions, and the survival of mankind. Mankind now is in a state of war, horror, and survival where the skies rains with blood and the ground leaves the scars of battles.

The BETA has caused the Earth resistance to develop jet/mecha hybrid called Tactical Surface Fighters or TSF to eradicate them. This sort of genre can be traced into many science fiction series such as Strike Witches, Gunparade March, and even Neon Genesis. The series is set in an alternative timeline where our planet Earth has been invaded by aliens forces known as the BETA. Let's lookĪnd see for ourselves what Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse has to offer: It's definitely not everyday that you get to see chicks fighting otherworldly beings and still getting the time to relax. The series is based off a LN (light novel) of the same name and takes place in a science fiction world where mecha, aliens, and hot women with suits of iron dominating the series. No, it's not the end of the year (yet) for us but in the world of the Total Eclipse, it's walking down that path. If there was another to name, one would definitely be Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse. There's been a lot of strange series that debuted in 2012. Amidst political tensions inherited from the Cold War, Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse follows Yui's delicate mission and Yuuya's journey to overcome the demons of the past that still haunt him. In an international team composed of the uncooperative Japanese-American test pilot Yuuya Bridges and various eishi from countries lost to the BETA, Yui's task is to help develop the new Japanese TSF Shiranui. Three years later, now a lieutenant, Yui joins the XFJ project, an Alaska-based Japan-American TSF development program. However, this encounter leaves Yui determined to never again allow something like this to occur. At the cost of countless human lives and the sacrifice of Yui's friends, the Japanese Imperial Army manages to repel the invaders, leaving destruction in its wake. When the BETA reach Japan in 1998, military school student and TSF pilot-or eishi-Yui Takamura is ordered to defend Kyoto's last line of defense with her fellow classmates. While BETA can be destroyed with conventional weapons, their laser-class is able to wipe out entire aircraft fleets, forcing mankind to develop giant combat suits called Tactical Surface Fighters (TSF) to combat them. In 1973, following the ruthless six-year-long Lunar War, the hostile alien species known as the BETA-Beings of Extra Terrestrial origin which are Adversary of the human race-invaded Earth, killing billions and decimating Eurasia.
