Muvluv Alternative Total Eclipse Anime Show Review

Muv Luv Alternative: Total eclipse Anime Show Reviewed by Teresita Blanco

A week ago, I started watching Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse. The anime show was adapted from a light graphic novel. The plug suits of the girls are the subjects of many fanarts, some of good taste, others not so much. Anyhow, the anime show is about giant robots fighting monsters. One day, the earth got attack by aliens. The humans where overwhelmed by the massive onslaught. 

Most of Europe and Russia have been taken over. The anime show starts with the aliens making their way to Japan. The main girl is Yui. She is studying to pilot giant robots.Though in a school setting, she is training to kill the evil aliens. She has her own rival as well. Like it always happens, everything goes wrong at a certain point. Yui is forced to fight off the evil aliens with her friends, using only training units. The first battle was pretty cool.

It gives you a good idea of the problems going on with the world. After the first intro scene, the anime show switches to America. The main character ends up being Yuuya, a half breed test pilot. He has been having problems in the US for having Japanese blood. He also hates his father for abandoning his mother. On top of that he has to deal with his surly superior Yui.

The most interesting weirdoes were the twins Cryska and Inia. They are the Scarlet Twins from Russia. Like any Russians, when they are acting up it was the Cold War all over again. The moral of the story is that human cooperation is almost impossible. The world may be overrun by aliens but they will continue with their foolish bickering.
