>What is the point of Eclipse?
its Spin-off. Same Universe, different story , place and characters. Only the ending part of the VN (the TE anime ends before) has some relation to Alternative
>Why'd they never make a Muv Luv ORIGINAL anime?
fixed4u

>Prior to watching the series I've only played a bit of Muv Luv in Japanese
Tell me at least you read Unlimited

if i had to remark them:
>MLA S1 and S2

>Mech fights: good (S2 got better choreography)
>Music: S2 got better OP and ED
>the plot was so rushed and holed TFO
imagine any newcomer to this mess
>no S3 (or ending)

>Schwarzesmarken
>Mech fights: a little better than TE, but the choreography was still limited with BETA
>the music i barely remember that existed
>got the exception to not have a "bait and switch" first episode
>the plot was on thin ice from the start, but the execution was AWFUL
>at least finished its main story

>ML:TE
>Mecha fights : the TSFs are LITERALLY flies
(crazy maneuvers and glass cannon at discretion of the narrative)
>Plot
it has 4 moods:
>MUH ALIEN EXTERMINATION, WE ALL GONNA DIE!
>the peaceful (and "boring") life ouside of the front-lines
>the Project Prominence itself
with "The Office"-tier of professionalism
>MUH RISING COLD WAR TENSIONS
(that should ended the same day BETA lands on Earth)
3 of them were over-exaggerated compared to the VN, which was barely to take it at face value.
Subtlety shines by its absence in all the 3 animes.

TL:DR= Pic related.
