I want to believe man.

But if this is gonna be like Total Eclipse again because of ixtl...

This will just soil the greatness that is the Muv Luv series.

At least the kickstarter will be starting soon for the english localization of the Muv Luv Trilogy VN.

NO, doesn't look like it will be Total Eclipse all over again, I still have faith, I guess. Let's pray then for this doesn't turn out into another Total Eclipse.

That's quite solid in the art department. Hopefully the story is decent.

Overjoyed by her comeback!

That stupid german "schwarzesmarken" is still cringeworthy.

> Series Composition: Tatsuto Higuchi (Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo)
> Studio: LIDEN FILMS

Very disappointed with the staff, only like the staff choices for music. Seems like it's going to be heavy CG due to the studios in charge and because the main director seems to be primarily a 3D Director. Excitement has died down quite a lot. Would need an amazing PV to get me excited again.

I'm actually looking forward to this as long as it can capture the thrill of the series...and those are some decent cast choices.

All these german names are killing me. Can't wait for the voice actors to butcher them.

I hope they don't try to make them speak some broken German.
