Was thrown off by the kimi school outfit.

Why is Laser-chan so lucky?

your op's are pretty autistic user

they read like a bad joke

I like . It's like VG gets it.

You tell me.

From /m/

Schwarzesmarken takes place in East Germany in an alternate 1983 where aliens have landed and are slowly taking over the planet in a torturous land battle. The aliens do not appear to be particularly intelligent, content to win battles through sheer numbers, but since they cannot be reasoned with, humans have no choice but to fight.

Though the aliens can be slain with conventional weapons, mecha are particularly useful for taking out the living alien artillery, and the 666th squadron, nicknamed Schwarzesmarken, is East Germany’s best unit.

Though the series did not immediately grab me, the opening episode had enough potential that I decided to come back, and it grew on me more than I thought it would.

First of all, the show had several things working against it. 1) It’s a prequel to Muv-luv Alternative, which is a series I’ve passed on watching because it’s based on a visual novel with dating elements aimed at heterosexual men. 2) It has a predominantly female cast, which in anime doesn’t necessary mean they’re looking to expand the female audience as much as to provide fanservice. 3) I was afraid it would end up being a harem anime where the “luckless” male protagonist would end up with the affections of multiple women.

Fortunately, it’s not as bad as that. Even though it is a prequel, it’s watchable on its own with the understanding that the aliens will not be defeated by the end of the show. The female cast is varied enough that members of the main 666th squadron don’t get mistaken for each other (and there are women in incidental roles outside the squadron, including the main villain and a middle aged woman in charge of a military base). The outfits are fanservicey, but there are few butt shots, outside of when one sleazebag male commander is around and he’s not in every episode.

But best of all, main character Theodor is a complicated protagonist. He might not have much luck, but he’s not hapless.

As a teenager Theodor and his family tried to flee East Germany only to be captured by the Stasi, who were historically among the most effective and cruel secret police forces in existence.

His family’s capture, murder, and the fact he sold them out during his own torture, weighs on him. Though he’s now a soldier for East Germany and scarcely believes in the party line, he’s afraid of taking any steps towards freedom because he knows what that costs. The way to survive is to keep one’s head low and just do the job.

That begins to change with the arrival of Katia Waldheim, a defector from West Germany with an idealistic hope that both Germanys can work together again. Furthermore, Theodor learns that Irisdina Bernhard, his commanding officer, is not the Stasi informant that he thought she was, and in fact is willing to work against them.

Though this is a mecha anime, a lot of time is spent on political maneuvering between different parties and even within the 666th squadron. Aliens are the outside threat, but they are not the only one, and possibly not even the most dangerous one. In fact, many of the stasi, chiefly Beatrix Brehme and her toady, Heinz Axmann, are far more horrifying and inhumane then the alien threat. What’s guaranteed though is that every episode will have a mecha battle, and the marvelous thing is that each of the battles feels like it earns its place in the story. The battles are never filler.

That said, there are some questionable decisions made throughout the series considering that East Germany’s very existence is at stake. Cynics will be unsurprised that when a country needs unity the most is when it’s least able to come together, but considering how remorseless the aliens are, I can’t help wondering if the human antagonists really think it’s worth winning a battle if they lose the war just to selfishly maintain power.

kill yourself

this shit isn't interesting and certainly doesn't add anything

The body count is on the high side and the show doesn’t shirk away from showing the complete moral depravity and sadism of its main villains, though most of the most brutal scenes are concentrated towards the beginning and the end. There is some censorship of the graphically worst deaths, but bullet and shrapnel wounds remain visible, people end up reduced to bloody messes, mass killings and torture recalling the worst of communist regimes are perpetrated, and there's even offscreen rapes courtesy of the stasi villains.

One thing I do want to mention though, because it’s a trope I usually try to avoid, is that Schwarzesmarken seems to have this weird little sister attraction going on, both with Theodor’s younger sister and another character who explicitly reminds him of his little sister. Theodor himself doesn’t seem to be interested in that train, but the writers have no problem putting him on board, and in the case of his true sister, saying that the situation gets messy is an understatement.

Since this is a prequel I’ll note that the ending does not resolve the alien problem, but it does all come together on a bittersweet and hopeful note with all the plot threads relevant to the characters involved tied off satisfactorily.

Overall I think this is one of the better mecha series I’ve watched and if one is not immediately dissuaded by what may well be one of the creepiest little sister character ever, it’s worth checking out for the well scripted battles and the unusual setting.

Pluses: unusual period setting of communist 1980s East Germany, great, uncompromising view of the evils of authoritarianism, gender progressive and puts females in equal standing even including a main antagonist that's not "softened" just because she's a woman, Theodor is an unusually damaged protagonist making him a welcome change of pace

Minuses: spray-on bodysuits, even though the characters are German they behave like Japanese, what is with the off-putting little sister character?

Fuck off back to wherever you keep pulling these retarded reviews from katiafag.

I pulled it from /m/.

And he apparently pulled it from somewhere else. like he does with everyone of these. You're not helping either.

Let's go down the anime-only checklist, shall we"

>I don't like Lise
>I think Beatrix is a complete monster who's responsible for everything bad
>Axmann is Beatrix's lackey
>Katia = GOD
>Goodguy rebels
>Completely missing the point

Only this one has a spice of tumblr feminism thrown on top of it.

I wonder what he'd say about Beatrix and Theo's relationship then.

If they could make it past that rocky start, they might blossom into something beautiful.

Theo is lusts after Beatrix, but he hates her completely (and probably hates himself for finding her hot).

He's more compatible with either Iris or Lise.

On the plus side its not surprising that the more people dig into this series the more alike the nip and chinese fanbases their opinion becomes. Its too bad the anime had to be handled so poorly to give so many newcomers the impression that it did but its all based on ignorance, this sort of stuff will fade out eventually.

Well, think of how the rest of Argos bullies Yuuya after the islands arc. It's be like that. Except it wouldn't be Yui spilling spaghetti, but possibly like Stella going ara ara.

How cruel.

Oh come on, you know you wanted to hear the SJW opinion.

He'd like it. Would tease Theo.

...

>New trailer
>New anything

As the fuck if Age ever work on anything

We'll be getting a Martyrs trailer in a couple of days.

When they do, it's the minimal. I really want to know who the retards in charge thought fripside and liden were good choices.

How would 15 year old Beatrix handle 15 year old Sylwia, Gretel, Lise, Katia, and the rest of the girls?

It's your worthless, off-topic generals being shut out of Sup Forums once and for all.

>>>/anywherebuthere/

>You wanted to
What? Who the hell cares what those insane people think of the show? Or anything for that matter?

Speaking of insane.

Don't bother replying to Hyperlink-kun. He's one of those guys who spam only particular threads to hell and back, kinda like THK. Unfortunately he posts the same things on /m/ as well, somehow misunderstanding the context of what that board is about.

Don't remind me
It's puzzling how SM VN turned out this good after all this (despite all the cut content)

Well, after the failure that was TE being released on consoles, maybe they realized two consecutive fuck ups isn't exactly a good boding for profits. It's a niche market already, no need to narrow things further.

So far its leagues better than the anime. But whats really gonna make or break it is the second part.

I'm sure the Lise route will be cute and the Iris route will be calming. But how will the Beato route go?

It's good to know what the enemy is thinking.

You picked Balck because you knew it would trigger her , didn't you?

Edgy, hectic and full of combat, hopefully

Would she have made a good officer in the UN?

Pain, and suffering, punctuated by cute that only makes the pain stronger.

Who'sb been doing ML textures and suits for CM?

>Who'sb been doing ML textures and suits for CM?

Ara? Isn't that something you'd like to know?

I would. Well it'd be nice. All the ml dresses are nice. And suits.

ux.getuploader.com/umiushi555/download/9/Muvluv_sumika.zip

There's a Meiya, Yui, Katia, and Kirke, along with their assorted fortified suits floating around too, but I haven't been able to find the files

So I just finished Alternative.
What should I do with my life now?

Join the military and transform HMMVW's into TSF's.

Fuck of. You want everything that is related to muv-luv removed regardless of board.

kinda reminds me of the PSO2 costume.

...

I tried to act in character but only managed to piss her off instead.

What personality did you give her?

The one that "ara aras"

...

...

Read Extra again. Have some tissues ready

Give her a headpat

>Beatrix wearing a UN uniform

Well no shit, she wasn't an ara ara er then.

Phamzuri

...

>Well no shit, she wasn't an ara ara er then.
The cool/mature voice is the only one that fits her. The tsundere is too childish.

She could peacefully coexist with them but Lise, Katia and Sylwia are probably all too high energy for her

...

So I thought she'd look a little more "Beatrixy" with some lips. What do you guys thing?

It looks better, but:

>that room

Are you implying that she wants this guys job?

>Are you implying that she wants this guys job?

Want, maybe not, but she would be exceedingly good at it.

...

>that fucking neck on Iris
I can't be the only one who sees something weird going on there right?

Its still within the natural range of movement, if just barely. Must hurt a bit though.

she did stretching

Ya know. Instead telling people to GTFO maybe you could start using your brain and create a threads on on those boards you propose? Show that other pkace is an attractive one to migrate too. Instead acting like a Donald Trump and wanting to deport everyone you don't like or belive they are cancer.

I love this, I love Pham!

It's so odd how her love literally radiates from the computer screen. But all the same, I want it to ever remain that way.

It works. Though I'm thrown off by the UN uniform.

I'm not sure whether I'm brave enough to make Pham.

It's just doc, Like the Ellipse Avenger, you're best served just letting them be. They want someone to respond. Well, no, even the Ellipse Avenger isn't pure trash.

You do know Kouki is feelin the MAGA, right? Or at least all indications are he is.

...

When is that trailer supposed to hit. I need more Lise and Bea.

...

It's a little tall, but not that much imo.

It was a very early art I think anyways.

Doesn't someone here have this? Or they can't scan it?

>reminder Pham had to brush Katia for fleas

Even Tarisa wasn't this bad.

What are you on about boy

The poster. I know an user has one of the Iris posters everyone wants to see, I was asking if someone who goes here has the Beato Oktoberfest outfit poster. Or is it not released yet?

I want to stare in Vivi's purple eyes while she's blushing and feeling confused.

Yeah the Beato poster was released some time ago, I'm sure an user or two that browses Sup Forums has it.

I've been meaning to try to find some ML stuff for CM3D2.

Is there anymore?

Grunts need lovin too.

I want to chase loli Katia with a vacuum cleaner.
She gives off the impression like she's dumb enough to be scared of it.

Cutest Sani deserved her trips.

How the hell does she get purple eyes anyways? I mean yeah sure ruby red eyes haven't really been seen if ever either, but still.

And who's she? Some medic at Neuhagen?

Iris is a perfect German
>godawful sense of humor
>"Ice Queen" personality
>blonde hair and blue eyes

Godawful sense of humor I can get, but Ice Queen? Isn't that more of a specific type any girl can have? I wasn't aware German women had an extra propensity for being stuck up bitches. History attests to German women being quite warm, contrawise.

>How the hell does she get purple eyes anyways? I mean yeah sure ruby red eyes haven't really been seen if ever either, but still.
This is still Muv-Luv, user. Weird-ass hair and eye colours are to be expected.

>And who's she? Some medic at Neuhagen?
Yes

Last I checked, Nepnep wasn't a retainer for a Japanese damiyo?

Probably not, since she wants to fly, to fight, so she can protect that which is precious. She already does enough desk jockeying as it is.

On the plus side, she gets to sign her documents in her ridiculously cute signature, infuriating her higher ups.

Is she right, Sup Forums?

That is true. Well it's not like I hate odd eye colors. In Beatrix's case, it forms a huge part of her motif.

>Ellipse Avenger
Who?

user likes to give pet names to everyone, its hard to keep track.

Also Lise a miracle of the universe.

Who /NVA/ here?
youtube.com/watch?v=DjDRTZNIQzg

Ass?

Yes!

All OF THEM!

Adopting Vivi and Lise as daughters
Marrying Irisdina
Living next to Pham, Walther and Sylwia

Would Iris be okay with you having mistresses?

PACT PRIDE WORLDWIDE

Yuimouto!

>you will never push Irisdina into full-on yandere territory
