But I did know that it was indicating just how precarious their position is and how urgent Shirogane’s decision will be. Since I don’t have a personal connection to Takahara, I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to feel about those battle scenes. While Shirogane tries to make up his mind about what to do, his decision is interspersed with scenes from the battle and Takahara’s death. However, her entire life still centered around the Shogun and serving as her body double. Twins are considered a bad omen, so Meiya was quickly adopted out to distant relatives. He thinks back to their conversation and how Yuuhi revealed that she and Meiya didn’t grow up together. I honestly don’t know what decision I would make in his place. So Shirogane is really left in a tough position.
Tsukuyomi of the Royal Guard really wants him to wait, while the UN general Walken wants him to sedate her so they can get her to a safer location fast. He’s not sure if she’s too sick to handle it and needs more time on the ground. I really enjoyed how they showed what a tough position he was put in regarding the sedative. The part with Shirogane and the Shogun, however, was a part that I could understand. And they all believe they’re fighting for the soul of the Shogun. I did figure out that the Rebel Fighter (pictured above) is a precursor to the Rebel Leader’s other major regiment, who hasn’t entered the battle yet. Those scenes are really pretty to watch and well-done, even if I don’t understand what’s happening or who’s who. So anyway, a bunch of mech fighters are about to fight. It would help if their uniforms were more distinctly different. The two characters talking about the OS at the beginning are part of Shirogane’s group. Then they show us the woman who’s part of the Rebel force (from the first scene of this episode) getting ready to charge, and I’m still unsure. Who’s the girl above? Who’s the character below?🤷♀️ Muv-Luv Plus, I didn’t recognize any of the characters who were part of that unit, so I was never sure as I watched who was a Valkyrie and who wasn’t. I’m not quite sure which side they were on. Muv-LuvĪn an anime-only viewer, the Valkyrie plot was tough for me to follow. Muv-LuvĪpparently these are the “Valkyries” who are the “tip of the sword that defends humanity.” Or they are fighting the Valkyries. I’m sorry, but I really don’t remember her or the other soldier she’s talking to. Tsukiji is one of the people fighting on the UN side. At the end of the episode, we learned that their entire goal is simply to abscond with the Shogun and make her their rebel leader.Īfter the intro, we start out with soldiers using the new OS with their mechas (designed by Shirogane and Kouzuki in a previous episode). It’s interesting how they believe the Shogun needs saving, while the Shogun herself (Yuuhi) is fleeing from them of her own volition. The Rebel Fighter with Glasses tells him that she needs to enter the battle herself in order to save Her Majesty. So the episode stars with Rebel Leader learning that the first group was wiped out.
I’d imagine that for visual novel watchers, this isn’t so jarring because the VN likely developed these characters more prior to the moment the anime’s covering. The main characters that I was getting used to all took a backseat for this episode or were absent entirely, and a bunch of other characters I’m not familiar with were leading the episode instead.
I’m still having trouble following all the characters, since we haven’t delved deeply into most of them. The Episode Was a Bit Confusing for an Anime-Only ViewerĪs for Episode 10 - this was an entertaining albeit confusing episode for an anime-only viewer. But then I’ll have to decide if I watch the first two versions prior to that, and it could be a long journey.Īnyway, with that rambling opening, on to the review. I hope it’s renewed for another season (or a second-half of this one, depending on how they choose to label it.) If it’s not, then I’ll likely have to dive into the visual novels to see how it resolves. I feel like there is still so much to explore in order to close out the season with a satisfying arc ending. I’m told that Muv-Luv only has two episodes left this season, which makes me a little sad. So sometimes I have to really watch myself to make sure I don’t get the storylines confused in any way. Both involve some major battles against an invading force. Right now, the two main animes that I’m following are Muv-Luv and Eighty Six. It will have spoilers for the episode, but since it’s anime-focused only, it contains no visual novel spoilers. This is a Muv-Luv Alternative Episode 10 review. Check out this #MuvLuvAlternative review of Episode 10 for anime-only viewers.
