On one hand, I thought it was kind of interesting because it's a hosed up situation with hosed up people and a hosed up thing happening like quasi-incest makes more sense here than it does in say, a high school harem romance

On the other hand, I'm unable to divorce it from the creepy Japanese imouto fetish that haunts anime like a really stinky ghost

and then on a third, weirdly misshappen hand, I'm pondering the sense of the onii-chan poo poo even being in there. I mean it's a Japanese story written by Japanese people, so it's self-evident, but still... I can't help but wonder if there's some next gen localization poo poo that could be accomplished by having there be English subs and a German dub for this. I can't remember the last time I watched an anime that explicitly took place in a real world location (alternate sci-fi history or not) that had absolutely no Japanese characters. Not even fractionally Japanese!

I think a good Muv Luv TV show might be a pseudo documentarian story that talks about the BETA invasion in it's entirety, starting on Mars, and ending in Japan in 2001 when whatsisface shows up at the beginning of Alternative. But that's probably too dry to ever get actually made
