Story and universe of discourse seem to remind me of Mai-HiME.
Except fewer monsters and more emphasis on harems, fan service and whatever.
The "evil guy" who controls the game/contest (some crazy man who always stands on a high tower) seems more absurd than the one who controls the Mai-HiME world :P
With quite a number of cliches, I think it does what it sets out to do.
3.5 stars

Finished the second season.

Was good in the middle, but the ending arc was so goddamn convenient I was sitting there going herp herp herp the whole time.  -1 to score for that, 7 to 6.

Also, I didn't get my Miya vs Karasuba fight I was hoping for :<.

So season 3, hah....

3hrs into Unlimited.  Seems more interesting than Extra so far, but according to others who finished the whole thing, this doesn't have Sumika (best part of Extra), and it doesn't have real BETA either (just talk).  So yeah.... :(

Finished all the routes in Extra now, no idea why I did that, since I was given warning that they sucked (well, Chizuru's route was alright, the other 2 were pretty boring).  Finished 2 routes in Unlimited.  Total combined length for both (assuming you do all the routes) is probably around 30-50hrs, depending on your reading speed.

Overall, Unlimited > Extra, imo.  While extra was pretty boring in the middle parts, Unlimited was almost never really boring.  The characters also improved in likability ranging from a bit to a lot.  Meiya wasn't annoying as hell (in fact, she's actually quite likable in Unlimited), and Takeru is still an indecisive bitch, but less so (at least he's sort of cool at the very very end).  However, Unlimited's ending wasn't exactly satisfying, and a lot of other stuff is still left hanging.  Also, a big wtf at the pilot suits...

Overall, Muv-Luv is probably around 7 for me (Extra is like 6, Unlimited is 7.5).  Decent but not excellent, but you know, this is compulsory reading and lead in for that, so whatever.
