History Franchise / MuvLuv

* HordeOfAlienLocusts: The BETA, which mine any and all available resources wherever they go, [[HumanResources including humans]]. Eventually {{justified}} in ''Alternative'' when it is discovered that [[spoiler:they're actually nonsentient deep-space mining drones created by [[AliensAreBastards an extraterrestrial civilization]], and don't have the capability to recognize humans as living beings]].

* AdjustableCensorship: The UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} releases of the trilogy censor the sexual content, but an optional "Director's Cut" DLC is available for purchase from Denpasoft.

** ''Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles'': various sidestories in VisualNovel format.

** ''Muv-Luv Resonative'': the ''TDA'' series' GrandFinale, still in development.

* HumongousMecha[=/=]AMechByAnyOtherName: Tactical Surface Fighters ([=TSFs=]) typically stand about three to four stories tall, and have a tactical role akin to attack helicopters on steroids: even though they can fly, they're treated mainly as close air support vehicles rather than high-flying aircraft, since their flight ceiling is relatively low even if [[AntiAir Laser-class BETA]] aren't around.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The non-''Extra'' ones can be considered a successor to the ''VideoGame/GunparadeMarch'' in many aspects. Alternate history caused by AlienInvasion? Check. Very low draft age? Check. AnyoneCanDie? Check.

** ''Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse''
*** ''[[Anime/MuvLuvAlternativeTotalEclipse Anime]]''
*** ''[[Literature/MuvLuvAlternativeTotalEclipse Light Novel]]''
*** ''[[VisualNovel/MuvLuvAlternativeTotalEclipse Visual Novel]]''

With the setting of ''Alternative'' encountering unexpected popularity, âge began putting out works which further flesh out that world, starting with ''LightNovel/MuvLuvAlternativeTotalEclipse'' (which got animated in Summer 2012), followed by the various sidestories collectively called ''Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles'', and the light novel ''Literature/{{Schwarzesmarken}}'', which finished serialization in 2014. In addition, there is a serial photonovel called ''Tactical Surface Fighter in Action (TSFIA)'', which contains short vignettes from the ''Alternative'' universe, and a chronological sequel of ''Unlimited'', called ''[[VisualNovel/MuvLuvUnlimitedTheDayAfter The Day After]]''. There is also the booklet series ''Exogularity'', containing side materials and more importantly, details of ''Alternative'' universe's future.

* SuperNotDrowningSkills: BETA appear to be capable of holding their breath for several hours, enough to ford narrow seas and straits by walking across the seafloor: in the anime of ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvAlternative'', they're shown first crossing into Japan via the seafloor of the Korea Strait and the East China Sea, and then [[DungeonBypass coast-hopping their way around the secondary defensive line]] in the center of Honshu, while ''LightNovel/MuvLuvAlternativeTotalEclipse'' shows them attempting the same tactic through the Sea of Okhotsk to get around the Red Army's defensive lines on the Kamchatka Peninsula. However, they either can't hold their breath long enough to cross areas of open ocean, or the water pressure is too high. This is the main reason the Americas remain BETA-free: the only potential crossing point is the Bering Strait, and the United States is quite happy to use the NuclearOption against [[ItsRainingMen attempted orbital insertions]]. Though they've also somewhat inexplicably been kept out of Africa so far despite overrunning Europe decades ago.

* ''LightNovel/{{Schwarzesmarken}}''

''Muv-Luv'' is a sprawling continuity involving multiple parallel worlds, giant robots and unstoppable aliens. It begins looking like an intentionally clichéd harem romance with ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvExtra'' before dropping the protagonist, Shirogane Takeru, into the apocalyptic land of ''Unlimited'' and ''Alternative''. It started out as a spinoff of ''VisualNovel/RumblingHearts'', a dramatic {{visual novel}}[=/=]{{anime}} from âge, and has become the company's current FlagshipFranchise. It also shares loose relations with their first game, ''VisualNovel/KimiGaItaKisetsu''.

* HotterAndSexier: ''Strike Frontier'', a gacha game, has (unvoiced) H-scenes for SR girls, including pre-existing characters such as Yui (in her adult and younger versions), Yuuhi, and various others.
