Muv-Luv Alternative - S01

Thanks to Professor Yuuko Kouzuki's technology and Kasumi Yashiro's psychic powers, Cadet Takeru Shirogane is sent back to his original world. With no time to waste, Takeru hopes to get Yuuko's help in his world to finish the Alternative IV project, humanity's last hope against the BETA, an alien species invading the planet. As the anti-BETA project nears completion, Takeru and the other cadets graduate from the Yokohama pilot training academy. But during a test of the new operating system for the Tactical Surface Fighters, the giant combat suits humanity uses against its enemy, the BETA ambush Takeru and his team. Barely surviving, Takeru is left traumatized after watching one of his close friends die cruelly. Losing his will to fight, Takeru runs back to the other world, where he goes through a similar tragedy. According to Yuuko's theory, people from parallel universes are bound to suffer the same fate. Because of this, Takeru must overcome his trauma if he wants to protect the people he cares about.
