I just finished watching Alternative, Eclipse, and Schwarzesmarken, and I have to say the quality of these 3 series is all over the place.

Prior to watching the series I've only played a bit of Muv Luv in Japanese and I basically went in blind to Alternative, then watched Schwarzesmarken, and just finished Eclipse. If I had to rank them it'd be Alternative S2>Schwarzesmarken>Alternative S1>>>Shit>Eclipse. Alternative S2 was great after the very poor second half of S1. Schwarzesmarken was great up until episode 9 when Lise was killed, she's probably my favorite character in the series next to Sumika, and Eclipse is legitimately probably in the top 3 worst anime I've ever watched. It was simply terrible. NOTHING happened outside of maybe the final 5 minutes where they might have teased the coast line of Japan eventually falling to the Beta during Alternative S1.

What is the point of Eclipse? I get its supposed to be a minor prequel to Alternative but across 24 episodes it felt like nothing happened. There were random beach episodes, onsen episodes, a fighting tournament arc. It's like the show never figured out what it wanted to be. I'm really disappointed. Also Yui was insufferable and the only thing I enjoyed about her was the random noises she'd make. Of the male leads: Takeru>Theodore>Yuuya.

Why'd they never make a Muv Luv anime?
