Synopsis: Schwarzesmarken is a spin-off of the Muv-Luv Alternative series, but the events takes place in 1983. The East German Army 666th TSF Squadron "Schwarzesmarken" (Black Marks) are a special-forces unit tasked with assaulting BETA forces through unconventional tactics; specifically, they target Lux and Magnus Lux to deny the BETA the advantage of ranged firepower. Their orders are given the topmost priority, such that it is common practice for the 666th to ignore allied distress calls that will result in deviation from their original mission, even if only for a short moment. The 666th Squadron mostly operates MiG-21s, with their squadron commander Irisdena Bernhard piloting an MiG-21PF.
Germany was divided into East and West after WWII, where citizens of either treated the other side as enemies. In the midst of Cold War, however, the Earth was invaded by an alien life form landed on Kashgar, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, known as "Beta." Now, ten years after the first contact, East Germany, formally German Democratic Republic, has become the front line.

QUOTE (mikekiki20 @ Jan 20 2013,3:14 PM)I actually had re-check the list of eps because I wasn't sure that it had ended. The way they left several things unexplained suggests that they probably want to continue this. Given the way they spread the story thin, (It was like "do one thing per episode) I would like it to advance more plot-wise in the next season- if there will be a next season. Whatever they did here could have easily be done in 13 eps. I still liked it though, maybe because I enjoyed the original Muv-luv VN?
Hoping this guilty pleasure takes away the bad taste MLA:TE last eps left me
