While the first episode focused (very successfully, I’d say) on a character and event that weren’t as fleshed out in the original game to introduce the rich world of Muv-Luv, the second will bring us straight back to the story and characters featured prominently in the visual novel, as you can see in the screenshots below.

The title of the episode will be “The World Repeats Itself” and the synopsis will certainly prove familiar to the fans.

“October 22, 2001. Takeru Shirogane wakes up in his room. When he eaves his house, he sees a familiar scene of ruins and devastation.

Convinced that he has returned to “that day,” Takeru seeks a certain person, this time in order to save mankind…”

If you’re interested in the Muv-Luv franchise in general, during recent events we saw the reveal of the official title of Muv-Luv Resonative (which is the continuation of The Day After), the announcement of Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse, and new gameplay and details for Project Mikhail, alongside the reveal of the character design.

A few months ago, we also heard the much-awaited announcement that Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (also known as Rumbling Hearts) will finally be released in English.

For additional information, you should definitely read our interview with the series’ creator Kouki Yoshimune and producer Kazutoshi Matsumura, alongside our semi-recent chat with Kitakuou about Project Immortal.
