Nah. It's not terrible. It's stupid, but it's fun, cute, and lewd.

It would have been a LOT better if it were more serious, though. Even Extra had serious romance. Altered Fable plays EVERYTHING for laughs and fanservice.

I don't think it worked. I wanted it to be heartwarming. Instead it was silly. The events of Alternative were joked about but never addressed. It was gallows humor rather than a therapy session. There was no serious romance. There were (bad) H-scenes, but no real romantic resolution.

The rare serious scene, e.g. Kasumi at Christmas, worked very well.

I'm a Sumikafag and her route was the worst by far. God damn cockblocking satellite!

Spending more time with my waifu was the main reason I read it. It could have done that better, though. I wanted a cute and happy romance. Instead I got slapstick. The only serious romance was a fucking dream.
>>
>>13398972
Before the Shimmering Time Ends (BtSTE) is pure fanservice. I was reading it for the H-scenes. The trilogy is too serious to have long, high-quality H-scenes in the middle, but BtSTE isn't.

Missed this until now but Moemi Otaka is voicing Vivi, I think that is a probably new character like what's their faces at the Kyoto school.

Hannibal is battalion commander, Marei is his sidekick, Griebel is a tank battalion dude who has a spinoff short story, Joachim is the west German battalion commander.

Comparing my builds and ones that I've seen here, the lighter ones only look better if you paint in the detail. Which I would do if I were any good at painting. Maybe I'll buy a spare 1/144 kit and try painting that

>>13400014
>So why don't they just orbitally bomb the BETAs?
It was tried on the Moon. Didn't work to well. Hitting things from orbit is inaccurate and expensive, and BETA dwell deep underground in extremely tough tunnels.

>They already have ways to counter Laser-class interception
No. Heavy metal clouds help, somewhat exposure damage, but they aren't a counter.

>and there's always remote controlled missiles.
BETA give targeting priority to more advanced computers. If you try to launch guided munitions under the cover of a saturation bombardment, the guided munitions will be picked off first.

Gonna be pretty pissed when KS ends with somewhere around 850k or something. Can't really believe it reaching 900k.
>>
>>13400057
There should be a "Let's enjoy otaku life!" somewhere on that box, too.
>>
>>13400097
Because it's more about the weight and how the items fit in boxes. You ordered items that didn't fit the minimum sized box. thus the one that they fit or had stocked was used. Weight matters more than size.
>>
>>13400107
Once again, how does having a ridiculously shitty box selection not fall on the seller.

I'm not him either you shilling cockbite.
>>
>>13400099
It depends on if we get a bump at the end like most KS projects do. If we get a bump similar in proportion to the Clannad KS's last few days, then 900k is within reach, but it'll still be very very close.
>>
>>13400114
There are standard sizes. You stock about three or four different sizes and go what you have to. If you ordered products that don't fit the smaller one, you just have to go with a larger one even if it has marge amounts of empty space.
Again, size doesn't matter. Weight does.
>>
>>13400107
>>13400122
The items in the box weighed about 100 grams all up...
>>
>>13400135
And? If they didn't fit a smaller box, bigger box was used.

xbox controller for scale. The box they used for shipping could have been the size of a tissue box.
>>
>>13400159
No, that warrants a larger box because of the packaging materials.
>>
>>13400162
it really wouldn't. The box was still way too huge for what it did. Even with packing materials, they could have used a box half the size
>>
>>13400165
And they didn't because it required a larger one. There are standards they need to stick with. Items certain size needs certain packaging material as per standard. Stop being a faggot and be glad you even had the chance to buy those. If you dislike them because of this event, stop buying from there.
Again; weight matters, not the size. If you're an idiot who doesn't realize you can throw the post package away, that's your damn problem.
>>
>>13400168

>What are the chances the templates will be sold online, from other Daki sellers?
I think there's a fair chance that people would trace it and sell copies. It wouldn't be the real thing, and probably won't look as good though. Also, you'd be supporting plagiarism.

>Plus I would lose the Figure.
The Takemikazuchi isn't an exclusive item; it's just in a signed box. It's a kit from Kotobukiya that's been out for a little over a year, so you might be able to find one online right now.
>>
>>13400198
You can buy the kit elsewhere, but the daki is unique. Even if you don't want to use it you can auction it off later and at worst get your money back.
>>
>>13400216
>>13400224
Will they offer to sell the other daki variants as a bonus, like other kickstarters do?
Of course it will cost extra for each one, but only getting one for the cost is a bit much. They aren't even that unique, the thumbnails on the website for them look like game CGs.
Rather not back $800 for all three either.

What pledge did you guys go? I sort of went with this one, because it was sold out previously.
>>
>>13400236
I pledged $400 for the reason I stated.
>Will they offer to sell the other daki variants as a bonus
Look at the addons pic.
>They aren't even that unique
Those are just placeholder designs you retard, we're getting new ones.
>>
>>13400236
>They aren't even that unique, the thumbnails on the website for them look like game CGs.
Those are just examples of Bou's art. We haven't seen any of the daki designs yet.

also there are more than three, now. I think they said they're adding Marimo, but I can't remember the other girls.
>>
>>13400245
>$200 per daki
What the fuck. It might be cheaper to get the $800 pledge, that's really fucking steep.

>>13400240
>placeholder designs
Yes, I sort of already knew. I was just downplaying their value, so I wouldn't be inclined to buy them. But now I'm conflicted, especially if they will be limited edition.
>>
>>13400256
the kickstarter rewards aren't necessarily priced to be good value for a consumer. it's kind of like girl guide cookies.
>>
>>13400262
The next time a girl guide tries to sell me cookies for $50 each, I will laugh in their face.
I already know how ridiculous the high pledges are. I did $300 on another KS and the content was mediocre.
But charging $200, so basically $800 if you want all 4 dakis is fucking ludicrous. It's a pillow case for fuck sake.
They're putting way too much emphasis, on the original artist doing new designs.
I can see some waifufags putting out $400 for one daki of their waifu, which is pretty steep in itself, yet understandable.
But wanting to buy them all for collectors sake, isn't looking like a sensible option.
The most rare and exotic daki in Japan wouldn't be that much. Daki's don't even have collectible value, like an exclusive figure.
If you have the pattern vector, you can mass produce them as much as you like.
Either way I hope they release the actual artwork soon, or lower the price. Notice how the daki tier isn't very popular.
Surely they will release the designs, so people will actually be tempted to purchase them additionally.
Paying $200 for a design you haven't even seen is fucking retarded.
Only someone obsessed with having all of a character's (waifu) merchandise would bother.
>>
>>13400276
remember, you're buying a successful kickstarter first and foremost.
>>
>>13400286
It's already successful. They should lower the addon prices when it hits the first goal. Not like it would take away from the main funding.

>>13400395
They can't explicitly say it on the KS, but yeah, that's what the answer in the FAQ is implying. The gore won't be censored, but they're going to need to release patches for the H scenes.
>>
>>13400289
They have to balance production costs too. Lowering the prices would probably fuck up their budget.

I'm a big Muv-Luv fan, but I just sort of read the trilogy and left. The business situation of the company that made it didn't interest me. I'm interested in the story, not the company that made it.

What if they have their approval? They've already straight up said few times around that they're involved with cleaning up the scripts. They're not selling those scripts either. As Degica is paying for lxrecs or whatever script, who is to say they won't do the same with them? All this would just end up being Alternative Projects promoting themselves in hopes of getting paid for fan translations.

âge and ixtl are owned by a parent company called ACID. ixtl is company that manages the IPs and the business side. âge handles all the production and creation of the products.

Does ACID do anything except manage âge? Do they own other companies or produce their own VNs?

Personally I'm fine with Amaterasu and AP getting money for their work, considering that they never accepted donations even when offered. You gotta respect guys like that. If AP ends up working on the retranslation or whatever, I just hope the quality will be improved instead of the other way around. It does need some work.

How do they heal from damage? Creating new flesh out of pure energy would be EXTREMELY expensive. They'd lose water over time, too. Wouldn't they need to drink?

I know that they need to recharge at Reactors, but I find it hard to believe they don't eat or drink.
>>
>>13401043
>I find it hard to believe they don't eat or drink.
Also, many of them have mouths. What are those for? I know that some are made from humans and maybe those mouths are just a holdover, but the Grappler isn't made from a human and it has a mouth.

Speaking of which, why aren't there BETA made from animals. They make some strains from people, but why are there no BETA dogs or sharks or pigeons around?

I remember Destroyers can heal their shells, it's what those purple spots are. They don't heal fast enough that it can heal it within minutes of an attack, but fast enough that you'd probably see the same Destroyer again with a fully healed shell if it survived.

>>
>>13401043
>>13401053
I don't know how much you guys know about the human body, but it doesn't heal itself directly from the stuff you eat you know. That stuff is converted into energy inside the body, which fuels cells to replicate for regeneration.

copy-paste syndrome, caused by lazy Photoshop.

Jokes aside, some of them resemble pawprints, but the impact from 120mm rounds and such on a shell would typically result in wounds spread upwards towards the top of the shell. Since the healing is solid in form but spotty in appearance, you would reasonably get that pawprint appearance.

Though I did say it was copy-paste syndrome, the Destroyer sprites have a fairly dispersed pattern of such wounds. Only a few on the sprite resemble pawprints.

Too bad we never see new, all-green Destroyers mixed in amongst them, though.
>>
>>13401146
>That stuff is converted into energy inside the body
Do you seriously think that your food is converted into pure energy which is used to synthesize new matter?

No. New flesh comes from chemicals harvested from your food. Making new flesh from pure energy would be STUPIDLY expensive, not to mention impossible with biological hardware. I'm talking BILLIONS of calories to synthesize one gram of flesh.

I'm no expert in alien physiology but when the power provider in question is a reactor capable of producing rare extrasolar materials, provides power to upwards 200 000 individual creatures in a Phase 4 Hive, concepts like "too much energy required" is not really a point worth pondering over.

That said, while the majority of BETA use teeth to render materials down to size for transport either inside or outside their body, it's not out of possibility for them to convert some into a material storage of sorts for repairs or even for the reactor to give them some materials for repairs during the charging phase.

Or even for BETA too damaged to regenerate back to original form (say, maybe, a Grappler missing one claw and all the legs on one side) to be bashed apart by other BETA and carried back as materials.
>>
>>13401188
>Do you seriously think that your food is converted into pure energy
Are you fucking retarded or something? A calorie is the energy unit needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. A FUCKING ENERGY UNIT. And nevermind that, since food is processed by the body into the final form of ATP, which POWERS the interactions in your CELL when it REPLICATES, THROUGH THE USE OF ATP, which transfers ENERGY to the cell. THAT'S WHAT FUCKING MITOCHONDRIA ARE FOR YOU IDIOT.
>>
>>13401204
>concepts like "too much energy required" is not really a point worth pondering over
Of course it is. You do not grasp the scales we're dealing with. The BETA are powerful, but if they were so powerful they could build things out of pure energy the entire Earth would be scooped up in a few milliseconds.

Yes. And if you've ever read a nutrition label, you know that there's more to food than calories. Your body gets energy from food, but it also converts a large percentage of it into materials to be used. Proteins are converted to amino acids which are used to make proteins. This is why there are ESSENTIAL amino acids: your body cannot produce them from simpler materials and must get them directly from food.

2,000 kcal is enough to produce a few nanograms of matter, which is a few red blood cells. In order to recover from a papercut by turning energy into matter, you'd have to use MILLIONS of days worth of food and have a body capable of handling energies that would put a nuclear reactor to shame.

Don't think they ever got birthdays. November 11 is also the Invasion of Niigata but I don't think that had that big a role to play in the base alert level for that day. I've already forgotten most of the minor details, so parhaps Takeru had some talking moments with them on that day or something. Otherwise I really can't recall.

The last released chronicles (04, I believe) has War Ensemble, which is about an exoskeleton-outfitted infantry unit doing some man-to-freak fighting in a suburban town in Japan. Main character is a girl starts out with her friends and her pulled to do basic soldier duties and her two friends get the short end of the stick at the end of some BETA teeth, the main character later gets picked up by the unit and dons a pretty fitting suit with a high-powered rifle as a subsidiary gift.

Granted, I'm just going off spoilers I picked up around and everywhere, but seeing as it's got an exoskeleton with impromptu battleaxes in it, it can't be half bad by simple virtue of being new material (and the only one of its kind as of now).

Isn't there one romance in SM that doesn't end with one (or both) partners dead and the survivor a traumatic mess.

So far we have:

Beatrix and Jurgen
Iris and Theo
Kurt and Tank Girl
Inghilde and some unnamed dude
Gretel and Karel (or Karl, not sure about pronunciation)
Sylwia and Walter

It's like romance is the ultimate deathflag in ML's world.
>>
>>13401459
Many of them would have died anyway.

And in the trilogy it's the opposite. Sumika and Takeru died dozens of times, but their romance let Sumika be happy for the first time in years and let Takeru survive.

Yeah, it has some pretty good themes and parallels running through out it. Many of the characters are foils for other characters. Take Sylwia, who obsessively hunted down and killed her best friend after said friend was forced to rat her out (sounds similiar to the whole Iris vs Beato thing, doesn't it). Or you could look at Lise and foil her against Iris, who had to betray her brother too.

What can it do that others can't? VN engines aren't exactly complicated.

It makes WAY more sense for them to standardize and then differentiate themselves on content. If all the companies put the work that went into their private engines into kirikiri2 (or custom forks of it), they'd have way more powerful engines for a way lower price. Suits don't like FOSS, but it's useful for both companies and consumers. Especially for VNs, where the content is vastly more important than the engine.

rUGP is fine. However, it would be even better if it were released under the GPL and used by everyone. Same goes for kirikiri2: if âge had spent their time contributing to the project, kirikiri2 would have all the strengths of rUGP.

FOSS is fantastic for just this sort of thing. Duplicated effort is a tremendous waste. VNs are not differentiated by their engines. Companies have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by switching to FOSS platforms or making their own platforms FOSS.

This really needs more adaptations. Why in the name of god Âge ever decided to choose an over-edgy and a troubled mess to adapt into anime is still a mystery to me.

Depends what they pull off in the last few days to motivate more pledges. If we get a bump in the last few days that adds up to around a third or half of the first day like a lot of kickstarters do, then 900k is completely doable, but without a end-of-KS bump 900k isn't happening.

I think the estimate I made here should be correct. $75 on the last 2 days doesn't sound insane.

Basically if there's an average of $10k per day until the 48 hour mark I think we'll hit dat physical codex, and we have only had 9 days under $7k over the whole campaign.
>>
>>13403627
just add the extra money to your pledge now and you'll be able to spend it on add-ons when the backerkit shop goes up after the kickstarter ends
>>
>>13403643
yeah the average per day not including the first two is $12.6k, if the kickstarter can keep this level going into the final 48 hours its almost a lock.

b. Muv-Luv ~Another Episode Collection~

2. Ayu-Mayu Alternative

a. Atonement (Shokuzai - 贖罪)
b. Inheritance (Shoukei - 承継)

3. Muv-Luv Chronicles 01

a. Chicken Divers (チキン・ダイバーズ)
b. Rain Dancers (レイン・ダンサーズ)

4. Kimi ga Ita Kisetsu (君がいた季節)

a. Confessions (Kokusaku - 告白)

1. Muv-Luv Chronicles 02

a. Aspiration - (Shoukei - 憧憬)

2. Muv-Luv Chronicles 03

a, Resurrection - (Saitan - 再誕)

3. Muv-Luv Altered Fable

a. Kagayaku Toki ga Kienu Mae ni - かがやく時空(とき)が消えぬ間に
(this is the main component of Altered Fable)
>>
>>13404440
No. We only get the stories listed, not the whole thing.

The KGNE anime showed it before. And the Akane Maniacs just went with it.
There was also a short teaser for a ML anime at the end of ayu-mayu gekijou (which in fact had so much more to do with ML than KGNE), in which Sumika was given the title of the new Age heroine.

A lot of this comes from the fact that waifus were originally a joke.

And then the newfags took that joke seriously.

She never had anyone raped though. In fact, her specific line on the matter after capturing the 666 was:

「エロい拷問は禁止です」
"Erotic torture is prohibited."

That whole Pham rumor was baseless shit circulated on Animesuki and /m/ (just like giving her responsibility for having Lise broken, or killing Theo's family and torturing him).

She's not as horrible as people seem to want her to be; that's Axmann's job.

ML's stasi operates differently than RL stasi, mostly because Beatrix's father "reformed" them, turning them from domestic spies into brutal state enforcers. So instead of sleep deprivation, or cold rooms, the stasi now fold bones or force prisoners to commit murder. Then you get guy's like Axmann who tortures children just because he gets off on it getting commendations. Even Beatix uses tactics that RL stasi would blanch at.
>>
>>13406394
It's not a decade old in the English world. It was only translated in late 2011. Also, not everyone has read it.

That said, this is a thread specifically about Muv-Luv. You'd have to be an idiot to not expect spoilers. No one who hasn't read it should be ITT.

We should still avoid spoilers about the spinoffs.

One thing that always confused me, Beato's responsibility was hunting for dissenters and deserters. Wouldn't it make more sense for her to be Volkspolizei Diensteinheit IX or something rather than stasi guard? In RL, the Volkspolizei were the ones who actually went after NVA deserters and anti state terrorist, not the guard regiments.

I'm new at this Kickstarter shit, so can someone tell me how that backerkit thing works? People who pick it, do they get some message little before KS ends that they need to choose now what they get? Or do they get to choose after KS ends? If it's after, does that money count towards final stretch?

You get what the tier lists what you get.

>>13406447
Nah. It's more like our practices in military prisons overseas. Americans don't do that to American citizens inside the country. We do it to brown people abroad.

The American justice system is fucked in many ways, but the interrogations aren't blatantly coercive these days.

Although she is supposed to be my waifu, I still don't understand why you guys love to have figurines or figma's. Do you guys love to play with it like little kids? Do you just put them on a shelf or behind glas so you can look at it every day while thinking "Well, I still have other issues but at least I have got these kind of useless chinese figurines and without any irony, they are probably just made in China anyway like pretty much everything else to look at"??

Seriously, what's the use? Even with Daiki's or Gunpla I can kind of understand why people would get them but why a bunch of useless plastic dolls?

If there's one thing I've learn from giving way too much money to way too muck KS campaigns it's that the only moment you know with certainty the pledged amount is when it's over.
Kicktraq and other metric predictions are BS, you cannot predict total pledged amount as the mechanics beyond what push peoples to gives their money is completely chaotics.

It may be reached and it may not, but whatever the auto-proclaimed experts out there may say, we won't know before either the end of the campaign or before its reached.
>>
>>13406646
You're right; we should just execute them on the spot.
>>
>>13406715
We won't even know if it's reached. If we get to $901k, someone might retract a big pledge and put us right below.

All we can say with any certainty is that we won't lose $30k in funding overnight. We're getting the Photons and everything below that. How much higher we'll go is anyone's guess.

There are peoples who likes those and are quite inventive in how they stage their figures. Go see what the jolly fellows at /toy/ can do.
I'm a bit jalous of them, they really seems to have fun with it. I've got a few action figures (some Eva and TSF revoltech, the Alt and the Weiß SR Chogokin) and all I manage do is gives them a nice pose a put them on the shelf above my desk. I can't make funny or epic scenes with those, nothings comes up.

Exactly. And that's the problem. The big news media is not concerned with the truth. They're concerned with ratings.

Where will you go? Fox News? MSNBC? CNN? The first two would lie through their teeth and CNN wouldn't take time away from the celebrities.

Forcing viewers to accept that horrible evil is being done in their name is NOT a good way to get ratings. People do not want to feel responsible for innocents being tortured, raped, and killed.
>>
>>13406973

News media manages to be very anti-American while spewing a ton of pro-American rhetoric. They're mouthpieces for the wealthy and powerful, misdirecting the American people from major problems with pro-American propaganda or nonissues and spinning stories to either prop themselves up or diminish another's power.
>>

This is not a scandal.

Is profit the only motive you can think of? It's about more than just monetary gain; it's about opportunism and exploitation. Piss people off enough and they become easy to manipulate.

I just found it really fucking disturbing. I thought it was pretty well done, but it was so fucked up that the heartwarming scenes that followed didn't even vaguely cheer me up.

TDA could be so much Badder, it's a real shame they didn't go all out with turning Takeru into the pinnacle of anti-heroes.

You can't really do more with the character without turning him into some unsympathetic evil fuck that doesn't, at all, fit with who Takeru is.

More than that, Yuuko is literally Takeru's one hope, and throughout the story he consistently deludes himself into thinking following her is following a 'cleaner' path, and it's not until after the PTSD arc that he's finally able to accept that, while not a cruel person, she will take whatever steps necessary to ensure humanity's survival.

Err ... it has been a while since I have read Alternative but weren't most of the things listed above due to Takeru acting immature instead of Yuuko's actions?
>>
>>13407451
She sent Takeru back to Extra without informing him of the danger. Takeru was not aware of the risks. She was. So when she threw the switch, she condemned Marimo to death and Sumika to dismemberment.

She INTENDED for things to go wrong so Takeru would realize that he can't go back to Extra.
>>
>>13407451
its a bit of both actually
Yuuko in particular kept using Takeru without him even realizing it until quite late
>>
>>13407407
>>13407442

Yeah. It's why she hands Takeru a gun and asks him to kill her. Thrice. She is incredibly guilty about everything.
>>
>>13407559
The first two times were just testing Takeru. She knew that he was just sounding off and didn't really think what she did was wrong. She wanted to prove to him that he didn't really believe what he was saying.

The last time was serious, though.
>>
>>13407475
Having just re-read this part the other night, I can say it's made pretty clear that this is accurate.

Alt Yuuko knew Takeru's presence would cause destruction in the Extra branch. She wanted him to see it to know that he had nowhere left to run. It's even implied that she anticipated that Extra Marimo specifically would die in some horrific fashion.

Wow, you've been out of the loop. It's called Bernhard im Schatten. It's about Iris's older brother, Jurgen, and his romance with Beatrix. It's actually pretty good despite being much more relationship focused then mecha (though latest chapter has BETA landing and Jurgen becoming a MiG tes pilot).

>out of the loop
That was definitely intentional.

>he's a clueless and cowardly prick
Just like KimiNozo.

Then again, Takeru was clueless and cowardly at the start. He got better, though. And he was NEVER as bad as Takayuki.

Yeah, might be a good idea to continue for the next two months (until SM airs). The spoilers are flying pretty thick and fast for that.

I like how Jurgen actually get's together with his waifu in the very first two chapters. No relationship bullshit where the two dance around each other and try to hide their feelings, no will they or won't they, just "Would you please go out with me" and BAM, dating and hand holding. The crap they face is also very grounded: overbearing/disapproving parents granted, one's a high ranking stasi, work getting in the way of romance granted, "work" is dealing with a fucking alien invasion, and a jealous, clingy imouto. It's all rather refreshing.

where do you people get so much money from?

Just started reading TDA. They talk about how 60 years will pass on Earth before the immigrant fleet arrives at its destination. Does that mean by the time the MLU epilogue happens, Takeru is already long dead?
>>
>>13408952
Can't be. Unlimited reset the moment Takeru died, right?

>>13408985
well I don't think those universes stop existing just because takeru loops back, but I don't know the finer details of it.

I wish Quantum Causality Theory were hammered out in more detail in Yuuko's lectures.

I liked the lectures. Some people found them slow paced, but I like the world building.

Is the Schwarzesmarken Anime going to be full of nips speaking fake German?
Because I totally can't deal with that
>>
>>13409101

Just a little. They should stick to mostly jap though.
>>
>>13409101
I hope so. Japanese people speaking German are even funnier than Japanese people speaking English.

>Yukarin trying to speak bad German with her "sexy voice

Who isn't looking forward to this?
