Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse (2012)

In 1973, Earth found itself besieged by a relentless alien invasion known as BETA, propelling human civilization to the brink of oblivion. With the unstoppable enemy force decimating vast swaths of humanity, mankind's last line of defense was the creation of colossal humanoid weapons, Tactical Surface Fighters (TSF). Deployed to global defense lines, these formidable machines stemmed the tide of defeat, yet failed to halt the BETA onslaught. This resulted in mankind's heartbreaking surrender of the major area of the Eurasian Continent, locking them in a seemingly endless, hopeless war against BETA for three long decades. The year is 2001, and Imperial Japan is grappling with the daunting task of developing a next-generation TSF to defend the Far East's front lines. In a desperate bid for survival, the UN proposes a groundbreaking joint development program, the Prominence Project, between the United States and Imperial Japan to bolster TSF technology. Enter Yui Takamura, a skilled surface pilot of Imperial Japan's Royal Guards, handed the momentous responsibility of spearheading the Prominence Project. She embarks on a journey to the frosty landscapes of Alaska, unaware that her path is set to converge with that of Yuya Bridges, a fellow surface pilot from the US Army heading towards the same destination. Little do they realize that this chance encounter will irrevocably alter their destinies. Set against the backdrop of humanity's struggle for survival, this gripping tale weaves together intense human drama and thrilling robot action. It chronicles the development of a new Tactical Surface Fighter, mankind's most potent weapon against BETA, at a time when human extinction seems all but inevitable.
