Muv-Luv Alternative/TE [Mecha - Horror]

[Zweihart]

Ok so I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been sorely disappointed by the way the Total Eclipse animation was handled. They had such a great potential for this show: Alternative gave them immense amounts of material to build the serie upon and the first two episodes with Yui's past + the Kamchatka base ark were pretty good but the had to ruin it by putting more focus on shitty generic tsundere romance crap and silly tournaments than the actual terrible "war" with zerg-like giant aliens having taken over and massacred half of the earth's territory.

So my idea, which I've been carrying for a while, would be a RP that would basically be what the show SHOULD have been like, more focused on the actual front-line action and trying to survive the terrifying onslaughts of BETAs. Characters would be at a constant and very real risk of dying and would start in the regular forces with the possibility of joining the Honor Guard after "getting their wings" so to say. Arks could take place anywhere over the globe and would not necessarily follow the VN's line. (Because I still need to finish reading it. ) The story wouldn't be solely focused on combat action, there would be time for the psychological development of characters and of their relationship as a squad.

I agree with this, though I wouldn't go so far as to say it was all horrible. What bothers me is that they put in so much filler and made that cliche love triangle (in Total Eclipse's case, love pentagon?). I'm happy they're moving into the final episodes and going back to the action that made me like the series in the first place.

As for an RP, I'd be interested in it. Would it be some sort of joint squad with the different national TSFs or would they be all of the same nationality?

Both options are possible, I'm waiting to see what interest people the most.

Yea... the anime lost a lot of steam after the Kamchatka arc and lost a lot of the seriousness. Anyways, count me as interested.

Edit: Episode 21 is the long awaited break from the generic harem/romcom plot line they set up. Finally, I'm actually excited about the next episode.
