''Muv-Luv'' is a series of [[Visual Novel|Visual Novels]] produced by age which takes place in the same universe as ''[[Rumbling Hearts|Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien]]'', and shares some characters with the latter. There are 3 main games in this series: ''Muv-Luv Extra'', ''Muv-Luv Unlimited'', and ''Muv-Luv Alternative''. The first two were released together as ''Muv-Luv'', with the ''Unlimited'' portion of the game unlocked by progressing in ''Extra''. The series' fame comes primarily from ''Muv-Luv Alternative'', one of the most popular visual novels of all time, known for its high production values, complex plot, exciting mecha battles and political intrigue.

In ''Unlimited'', Takeru wakes up one morning to discover that the rest of the city around him is in ruins, and Sumika is nowhere to be found. He later finds out that he's in an alternate world to ''Extra'', where aliens called BETA (an acronym for "Beings of Extra Terrestrial origin. Adversaries to the human race") have invaded Earth and mankind fights back against the alien aggressors with [[Humongous Mecha]] called ''Senjutsuhokousentouki'' (戦術歩行戦闘機), "Tactical Surface Fighters", as almost all conventional weapons before simply didn't work. ''Unlimited'' relates Takeru's story as he tries to adjust to military life in an unfamiliar world, while rebuilding relationships with his friends. All of the major characters from the ''Extra'' timeline are present in ''Unlimited'', except for Sumika, {{spoiler|and the ''Unlimited'' world's Takeru, who is said to be dead}}. The characters are, for the most part identical to their ''Extra'' counterparts, with the possible exception of Mikoto, who is now female.
