Unlimited ends with the start of Alternative V, in which mankind decides to abandon Earth by allowing 100000 people to escape the planet in spaceships, while the rest are left on Earth to fight the BETA with G-bombs.
When referring to Unlimited or its world, fans typically use "UL" instead. More than a handful of fans see Unlimited as the best part of Muv-Luv, due to the way it paints a portrait of a world filled with conflict without actually showing us any.Ī comic adaptation of Unlimited is currently being serialized in Dengeki Daioh. Unlike Alternative, Unlimited is more about the characters and the alternate world itself than about the conflict with the BETA. For example, most of the slang words that Takeru use (like "maji" and "anma") are incomprehensible to the inhabitants of the Unlimited world (they end up calling it "白銀語/Shirogane-speak"). Unlimited also introduces a new character not present in Extra, Yashiro Kasumi, who seems to be connected in some way to Sumika.Īs history in the Unlimited world has been changed, there are many minor differences between the worlds in addition to the larger ones. The characters are, for the most part identical to their Extra counterparts, with the possible exception of Mikoto, who is now female. Most of the major characters from the Extra timeline are present in Unlimited, except for the Unlimited world's Takeru, who is said to be dead, and Sumika, who does not seem to exist in the Unlimited timeline. The story is considerably more serious in tone than Extra's. They vary greatly in size, the smallest kinds (soldier-class) being around three metres tall, and the largest kinds (fort-class) being around fifty metres tall. When the BETA first arrived in Japan in 1998, 36 million people were dead within a week. The Soviet Union, though, is still around, operating out of Alaska. By 2001, the world population is down to 1 billion people, and most of Europe and central Asia have been wiped out.
The BETA first arrived on Earth in 1973 (in China and Canada) after arriving on the Moon in 1967 and being spotted on Mars in 1958. Muv-Luv Unlimited ( マブラヴ アンリミテッド ?) takes place in an alternate world to Extra, where aliens called BETA (an acronym for "Beings of the Extra Terrestrial origin which is Adversary of human race") have invaded and mankind fights back against the alien aggressors with giant robots called Senjutsuhokousentouki ( 戦術歩行戦闘機 ?), "Tactical Surface Fighter"), usually referred to as simply Senjutsuki ( 戦術機 ?), as almost all conventional weapons before simply didn't work. When referring to Extra or its world, fans typically use "EX" instead. His last visit, though, results in things that clearly did not happen in Extra. It turns out that some of the strange happenings (the incident with Sumika's shoe, some of Sumika's lines about Takeru being weird when she met him earlier even though he doesn't remember meeting her, Yuuko printing a massive amount of material) in Extra were due to Alternative's Takeru in his first few visits. In Alternative, Takeru returns to the Extra world a few times. One can find a large number of references to robot games (primarily Virtual-On) and shows (such as Daitarn 3 and Gundam), some obvious, some obscure.Īlthough Extra does take place in an alternate world to Unlimited and Alternative, it is still a necessary part of the story, as the Takeru in Unlimited and Alternative was originally from the Extra world. Pretty much a standard love comedy, only weirder. Its prequel, Akane Maniax, has been animated in the form of a three-episode OVA, and all of Muv-Luv Extra's main characters show up. The Sky Temple family restaurant is mentioned and visited, and Suzumiya Akane makes an appearance. Muv-Luv Extra ( マブラヴ エクストラ Maburavu Ekusutora ?), the main part of Muv-Luv, takes place in the same world (and general area) as Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and Kimi ga Ita Kisetsu. Cut are the adult scenes and the option to return to the last choice. The all-age version uses Alternative's engine (wide screen, 5.1 surround sound), has new opening sequences for both Extra and Unlimited (Extra's original opening sequence can still be seen, though), and has several minor changes to the script and some CGs. The CD version was released on 28 February 2003, the DVD version on 30 April 2004, and the all-age version was released on 22 September 2006. Unlimited is unlocked after you get the endings of the two main heroines (Sumika and Meiya) in Extra.
The first Muv-Luv game, Muv-Luv, consists of two parts: Muv-Luv Extra and Muv-Luv Unlimited. 13.2 Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ～special FanDisk～.11.1 Beings of the Extraterrestrial Origin which is Adversary of Human Race.
