While these do not hold too much actually advancing plot, all the characters and the surroundings get to shine. That includes the obligatory beach episodes. It’s how the story is executed and presented where Total Eclipse fails the most.Īfter the two initial episodes, the six episodes or so are mainly character and further world introduction with heavy emphasize on the show’s main point that these characters are test pilots, thus we get to see them doing their test pilot stuff. It’s not that the plot overall is bad, just the opposite.

While the beginning feels big and promises big things to come, it’s just there to showcase how screwed this world is and because the staff clearly had a hard task with those two first episodes, they came out as the best episodes the series has.

Total Eclipse is a side story through and through and you can feel it in pretty much every nook and cranny of it. The story isn’t a grand one, and realizing this makes the show look better.

I won’t go into the details of the story too much, as a general overlook should suffice as to give you some idea on whether you want to watch the series or not. After that we begin the story proper with the introduction of Yuuya Bridges, the main character of the story. The first two episodes are there to ease the viewer into the world and how it functions as well as into the background of one of our main heroines.

Well, it’s not like I can’t get my hands on the PS3 release, but I would like to enjoy stories like it on my laptop next year… While the show is mostly in 2D animation, all the major TSFs are in 3D I admit that this is a pipe dream down the drain, as âge and ixtl seem to be concentrating on console releases most.

Comparing the animation to either of these would be useless on some levels, but mostly because I haven’t paid any attention on the LN’s (you can check differences between the two in Type.94’s blog linked on the right) and I’m still clinging to the small non-existing hope that Total Eclipse will see a PC release. Then you have the Visual Novel, which is basically the definitive version of the story both in content and quality. There are the Light Novels, on which the animation is adapted from, but they’re their own piece. While planning this review, I set myself a limitation that this body of work would be looked at as a standalone piece. Because of these, I can’t admit myself this to be a complete review. Not doing that would be a stupid thing to do. However, as a fan I also need to admit the faults of the product. As a fan, Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse offers a rare glimpse to see the Alternativerse animated.
