History YMMV / MuvLuvAlternative

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The first opening to the anime adaptation was not well recieved, not because the song was bad, but because a lot of people found it extremely unfitting to the spirit of Muv-Luv Alternative. The production committee seems to agree, as the second opening is sung by Music/JAMProject ''and'' Creator/MinamiKuribayashi, to the hype of many fans.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[spoiler:Is the existence and identity of the Takeru we see in ''Final Extra'' really the [[VictoryGuidedAmnesia same one as that of the one we stuck with in]] ''[[VictoryGuidedAmnesia Unlimited]]'' and ''[[VictoryGuidedAmnesia Alternative]]'', or [[CessationOfExistence did the latter cease to exist after 00-Sumika dies?]] The members of the English-speaking fandom holds either the former or the latter position. In favor of the former: he slips into deja-vu in both ''FE'' and ''Altered Fable''. In favor of the latter: one of the game's emphases is that a person's memories and experiences make up his identity; he describes his eventual fate in the ''Extra'' branch (that of gradually-merging with that branch's Takeru) as effectively ceasing to exist.]]

* SpiritualLicensee: ''Film/PacificRim'' is the closest thing we could ever get to a screen adaptation of ''Alternative''. The amount of similarities that they share is ''staggering'', from the pilot outfit design to a plot point.

* NightmareFuel: The anime shows no qualms about how brutal the [=BETA=] invasion is, and that's just the first episode. From [=TSF=]s and soldiers being mauled by Fort-class [=BETA=] to supposedly safe civilians being gruesomely massacred by the Soldier-classes, all with gore and flying body parts. No wonder this assault affected Komaki's perspective. And remember this is just the anime. The visual novels are even worse in this regard.

* HellIsThatNoise: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5JICa_ZxBk Code 991 noise]], which is disconcerting in general, becomes a special source of NightmareFuel after [[spoiler: the CHOMP]]. It's popular among fans as a phone alarm since they know the stress response it causes will force them to act.
