My Life In Fandom: Mecha Is Not Dead - New MuvLuv In 2021

You're sleeping on MuvLuv? You shouldn't.

The official site is here. (Have your Translate apps ready.)

It's a story of the bonds of people fighting in the extreme world, one of the innumerable parallel worlds that exist in this space-time. There, human beings drove humanoid weapons called tactical walking fighters (tactical aircraft) and continued to fight against human beings' hostile extraterrestrial species "BETA" for decades.

What kind of life will human beings, who are in danger of extinction, show in their harsh fate?

"Muv-Luv" is an adventure game released in 2003 planned and produced by the game brand âge. Together with "Muv-Luv Alternative" released in 2006, it is a project that forms one epic story and develops many shared world titles and media mixes. The TV anime "Muv-Luv Alternative" will be broadcast in 2021.

There's a Visual Novel. You can find it on Steam here. The other two parts of the Visual Novel trilogy are there also.

Yes, this is another point in the trend of favoring existing properties over whole new creations, but MuvLuv is not one of the Big Real Robot properties (i.e. not Gundam or Macross) and as such it deserves the kind of signal boosting you'd see for other properties ill-known outside of Japan and Extremely Online weebs. Keep an eye out for this next year.
