though on the other hand if that completely cookie cutter twist is really all he's got then I wonder what, besides vaguely creepy giants eating people, Isayama had clear in his mind from the start of this series

Muv Luv, though bad in its own way, had an actual arc and characters so I doubt that's the answer

Well if that's a thing he literally said then that's hilarious

The only bad thing about Muv-Luv is that Extra and Unlimited are sort of mandatory experiences.


The entire back third of MLA is a drag.

everything interesting ends after that island fight and the game becomes agonizingly predictable and boring

Muvluv is a generic harem thing. It has a sequel/spinoff/whatever which is a super-grimdark mecha show where humanity is losing a war against unstoppable super-beasts.

No. The original ML contains two games, Extra, the harem thing, and secretly Unlimited, which introduces the mech stuff. Extra also contains numerous allusions to the events of Alternative, the third game, which would be released by itself, as making that was always the goal.

there are, Mare and Elodia are just an experiment by a proper future civ who keep Mare, Elodia, and a few surrounding populations in a gigantic force field

That would be the guy explicitly based on the IJA war criminal that Isayama admires, as I recall.

What war criminal?

Whoops, memory steered me wrong. I thought it was Matsui for some reason, instead it was this guy.

So not a convicted war criminal, just an imperialist.
