(Minor spoilers) This doesn’t change, ever. Takeru, the main character, is introduced as kind of a dick. Having said that, Muv-Luv is far from flawless. I don’t doubt that this is one of the top VNs in terms of the amount of time and effort put into the presentation of the VN format itself. Again, the actual quality of these may not have been top-notch, but since I’ve rarely encountered such things before in VNs, it felt quite luxurious. There are also sometimes sections of the story where the dialogue will advance as if it were on auto mode, almost anime-like, leading to some very tense fights because the player has no control over its pacing. Furthermore, in the mecha Alternative segments, the environments are sometimes animated and moving, which is a breath of fresh air since this is something I’d never seen before, even if the actual quality is not so high. Background CGs don’t just feel like backgrounds here - the characters actually move around within their environments as if it were 3D and will turn to talk to each other, which helps add an incredible amount of immersion. As the series goes on, the quality of the VNs continually increases, which is quite impressive, given that Extra is already pretty good. Now, let’s talk about the production quality. Photonflowers* and Photonmelodies♮ are two short-story / spinoff collections, with Photonmelodies♮ containing A Shimmering Shard of Spacetime (also known as Altered Fable), which is a direct sequel and extended epilogue to Alternative, and it was exactly the thing I required after finishing Alternative. If you, like me, could not accept that Muv-Luv was finished when Alternative ends, then good news, because it doesn’t actually end there. After Unlimited comes Alternative, the crown jewel of the franchise. Only one good ending is required here, as the endings are the same for each heroine. Once you reach Unlimited, you’re likely now going to become invested in the story. (I did this, though at the end of the journey, I sorely wished that I’d done every Extra ending at the start.) The most common advice is just to power through it and do Sumika and Meiya’s routes if you don’t like Extra, ignoring the other heroines in favor of the more ‘canon’ choices, and that’s entirely fine - the only thing you’ll miss out on is a deeper connection to those heroines and a bit more information about them. However, despite the genre shift, you’re unable to skip Extra, as it is a vital piece of the trilogy. Naturally, fans of one genre probably aren’t going to be particularly keen on the other genre - and since Alternative is the part people come to Muv-Luv for, Extra is the part that gets the mediocre reviews. This is because the first and last part are very different genres - Extra is a rather generic tropey high-school rom-com, while Alternative is a full-blown mecha war epic. If you visit the VNDB page for the first two parts, you might notice that the vote score is comparatively very low next to Alternative (at 6.98/10). Extra and Unlimited are packaged together in the VN Muv-Luv, and Alternative, the longest part, is separate. The main trilogy is, in order, Extra, Unlimited, then Alternative. Muv-Luv is made up of a main trilogy and numerous fandiscs and spinoffs. I was smiling fondly the whole time when I briefly went back to collect the remaining Extra endings, even at the parts which I remember making a sour face at originally. Over the course of playing through this series, a lot of the things I found cringy or annoying in the beginning (the chibi art being a prime example) ended up becoming endearing to me by the time I finished. I only have ~20 novels under my belt right now, but I highly doubt that the Muv-Luv series will be taken down from its #1 spot in my heart any time soon. I’ve laughed at the cast’s silly antics, I’ve cried both tears of joy and sadness for them, and there’s been scenes burned into my brain for all eternity for how truly well-written they were. Muv-Luv is the most intense emotional rollercoaster I’ve been on. This review I hope will serve as, first, a way to convince newcomers that the 100+ hours you can sink into this franchise is worth it, and second, a document of my personal opinions for veterans to disagree with me about who's Best Girl over. It is quite easily the best piece of media I’ve ever had the luxury of consuming. All one needs to do to verify this claim is look towards the vote statistics - there’s more than twice as many 10/10 ratings than 9/10 ratings, and a mean score of 9.12/10 as of when this review was written. Muv-Luv Alternative is objectively a masterpiece. If you know literally nothing about Muv-Luv, read this at your own risk. This review will contain minor spoilers that VN newbies may not know but are likely considered common knowledge by VN veterans.

Writers are normally advised to keep these to a minimum and only to use them when vital to understanding, such as “(sarcastically)” or “(to the dog)”. Parentheticals – A few words in brackets between the Character and Dialogue, giving guidance on how the line is to be spoken.
So here's an idea that would save billions of dollars and hundreds of lives: Why not get a couple of no-neck guys from the West Side to kidnap Jerry, haul him on board a private jet and transport him to Them? I won't give it away, but the only thing They really need is an attribute of Jerry's. Turns out the syringes were in a briefcase that the heroes survived incredible death and destruction to pick up, and it isn't even needed after the plane takes off. I won't even get started on the air cargo container, the syringes inside and the on-time recovery of the heroes after they give themselves shots. We haven't even arrived at the Pentagon, and already the audience is chuckling at the impossibilities. If They don't want him dead, then why do They kill him - since the situation clearly reflects Their power? Oh, and when a guy drives down the road to meet them in a van, They can instruct them to warn the guy that if he walks away, he will be killed. Can control the movements of cranes in junkyards, the locations of garbage barges and arrange for a rendezvous on a dirt road in an Indiana country field. Can observe the traffic and give precise driving instructions. They can control every elevated train and every stop light. Whatever force is behind the voice has control of every cell phone and security camera in the nation.

Siberia is known around the world for its frigid temperatures. Translation Evguenia Kossogova, Genevieve Oger.Multimedia Design and Production Daniel Herrera-Castillo.Photos Jean-François Bélanger, Alexey Sergeev.She’s studying tourism and hopes to one day manage a large hotel. To be ready to seize the opportunity if presented with it, Kristina has been taking intensive English courses. Only a fraction of them will ever end up with real modelling careers. Anna selects about 30 young women during each of her Siberian scouting trips. If she loses a little weight, she could end up in Paris within the year, modeling the creations of top designers.īut few are chosen.

It’s a unique breeding ground for girls who start training as early as age 10 or 12. Russia’s largest modelling school is in Novosibirsk. The visitors still take a few photos and recommend she go on a diet. “Marina is a little overweight.” At 93 centimetres, her hips are too wide. The 17-year-old barely has the time to take two steps before a cutting remark welcomes her into the world of modelling, even if pronounced under the guise of humour. Three Centimetres Too WideĪnna invites Marina Korotkova to step forward. It’s an opportunity to follow both an American and French dream, a chance to escape the daily drudgery of life in Siberia. Everyone knows Hababou holds the key to a possible career abroad. The presence of this visitor from Paris ramps up the pressure. Anna and Stephane stop in every large city of the region, holding a casting call that is open to all.Ībout 50 teen girls in black undergarments and stiletto heels greet Anna and Stephane at every stop. Hababou says it’s the best way for him to find new prospects ahead of his competition. He represents the prestigious Marilyn agency in Paris. Her travelling companion, Stephane Hababou, watches the photos of would-be models scroll across the screen. Four times a year she crosses her native region by train searching for the next top models, the ones who will one day strut the catwalks of Paris or New York.

These flyer packs are distributed all across the UK with some 10,000 odd copies of the packs being printed every month, if not way more! This is why these winning poster designs are such a common almost religious feature in almost every UK student household. The prize for the winning the design or art competition is to print the artists design onto a large A2 poster size which is included in the previously mentioned flyer bumper packs. From memory past judges have included some very big names indeed such Pure Evil (East London Graffiti legend), Obey (Shepard Fairey) and even Banksy (if memory serves correct). Usually the top 10 voted entries will be selected for a final judging round by an esteemed panel of artists or designers who cast their final decision. The judging for the competition is based on a democratic voting system where art lovers and design obsessives can log in to cast their votes for who they think should win the prize for the given art design competition. However the beauty of the competitions is that no one is excluded from designing or entering their artwork. Many famous designers and artists have been known to enter and to win the Don’t Panic design competition. Artist entries come from around the world and the level of design standards and originality is usually held very high. Some of the items found in the packs include chewing gum, combs and even condoms, generally anything relatively 2D that is smaller than 30cm squared or that can be folded up to fit in the ravey bundles of joy.Įvery couple of months the online Don’t Panic Media website hosts an interactive art poster design competition where artists and designers alike are free to enter the competition. Not only do they contain flyers and invitations to live events they also have been known to include other items. Many UK venues stock them and all the best parties in UK will have a Don’t Panic representative distributor handing out the flyer bumper packs. Most people living in the UK active on the clubbing and live venue party scene in the past 10 years or so would have definitely seen Don’t Panic media’s advertising. They’ve been running for quite a long time now and are a serious advertising force to be reckoned with. Whenever you are designing a piece of digital art it is important to remember it is always a good idea to design at the correct final print size or on a larger scale, never design something at a smaller size than the final intended print size, and remember to set your DPI to a minimum of 300 if you are intending to indeed to print it! Golden rule: never design small and upscale, design big and downsize!ĭon’t panic are a UK online and printed media promotional company. Ultimately keeping the letters as separate elements each graffiti font letter was styled & tweaked to produce the rainbow style look. This is the file size for the graffiti font book DTP layout (the dimensions required for print publishing). Each individual graffiti letter was treated using a selection of Photoshop effect layers. The individual letters were saved and exported into Photoshop and then re-sized to 300DPI and spaced out on a A2 sized Photoshop document. The application being used was Meritum Paint. Each graffiti letter was drawn and saved as individual image files. The graffiti font was initially drawn using a stylus pen and an Ipad. I wanted to sketch it by hand but produce it using modern computer technology. However the idea behind the creation of this art piece was to take it beyond graffiti… Traditionally painting graffiti font is an artisan art form. The fact that the artist could combine his knowledge of digital design to create the graffiti font was an added bonus. The design brief was simple, for an experienced graffiti artist that is. Artist Vinni Kiniki designed this graffiti font alphabet for a competition hosted by Don’t Panic Media & Street Fonts book by Claudia Walde (Thames & Hudson publishing) I face my boyfriend and wrap my legs around his torso. Just make sure you don't slip around too much when you're moving around (and prepare to get your knees a little bruised if you're trying it in a smaller space)! Maya, 26, executive assistantįavorite position: We're standing. The ambience is really sexy since everything's candlelit and the water and soap naturally get everything going down there.įun prop: Candles, bubbles, and bath oil. It's also a nice change of pace from the routine, so usually we'll try it when we're on vacation (since no one actually wants to clean their bathtub at home). What makes it so hot: I love it because I get to take charge and control the angle, and the warm water helps us relax. We often transition to doggy style or cowgirl after that.įun prop: A little vibrator like the Dame Fin, otherwise it's hard to reach my clit in this spot (it's usually not needed though).įavorite position: I'm straddling him, reverse-cowgirl style, while he's propped up on his back in the bathtub and I'm bracing myself against the sides or the wall. What makes it so hot: Other than it making me come almost instantly, it's always a surprising move that helps us branch out from missionary. It's perfectly musky and great for lathering each other up.įavorite position: We're in a spooning position, and he moves onto his knees behind me and continues thrusting from there. I have many sexy memories of seeing him again after a long separation and immediately hopping in the shower together to wash off the airplane grime and enjoy a sweet reunion.įun prop: I love a good unisex shower gel, like Neutrogena Rainbath. Also, this position always pulled double-duty for me and my boyfriend when we were long distance. What makes it so hot: The running water and upright position make it feel urgent (in a good way), the angle is just right for me, and it's perfect for spontaneous, quick and dirty sex or taking your time (falling into bed for round two afterwards all clean and warm feels great). Julia, 25, writerįavorite position: My favorite is upright, from behind-think steamy shower, bent over one leg up on the edge of the tub. It gives your partner a lot to grab on to, it’s easy to navigate around without taking it off, and the slightly unexpected extra coverage from the sleeves is very sexy. It’s also one of the very few ways I’m able to orgasm from sex, so that’s a huge plus.įun prop: I’m a big fan of lingerie in general but I’ve been very into the concept of a stretchy lace bodysuit with sleeves. Leaning forward brings back the intimacy of missionary while still giving me control. What makes it so hot: The best part about cowgirl is the stimulation, but it also feels very performative to me sometimes. Slip and slide anyone? Maya, 30, graphic designerįavorite position: Me on top but bent forward-kind of a combination of missionary and cowgirl I think it excites my partner that much more when I turn around to look back and show him how much I’m digging what he’s putting down.įun prop: Coconut oil-it’s nature’s lubricant. What makes it so hot: I love the feeling of a masculine touch coupled with the jiggling sensation my butt makes. While thrusting, he grabs my shoulders to go deeper inside, runs his hands down my back, and I brace myself for the ultimate ass grab. Favorite position: I lie on my stomach with my legs slightly spread and he enters me from behind.
