Not to mention that Muv Luv is graced with some of the best visuals (despite the deliberately generic character designs) in the visual novel business. But as an experience, without the grace of its successor, Muv Luv suffers hugely. Muv Luv will make you curse the silly moments of comedy. It will make you cry out for the good stuff. You will rage in anger against the potty jokes and episodic storytelling and occasionally heavy-handed drama.

But there will be a moment in Muv Luv Alternative, Muv Luv's very necessary sequel, when you will realize that you want to go back to those earlier times when life was simple for Takeru and his friends. You will long for the days of lunch battles and tomfoolery, when the main character's biggest problem was which girl he wanted to marry. That is when you realize that no matter what you do, you will never be able to go back. Once you realize this, Takeru realizes it too. He grows up, and takes responsibility for his actions. Your heart is broken, over and over again. That's Muv Luv in a nutshell?a game that initially appears to be a fun and fantastical romantic comedy, but turns out to be a tribute to the power of courage, responsibility and sacrifice in the face of all-consuming despair. You will probably weep and cheer simultaneously.
