Muv-Luv Alternative Episode 1 English Subbed

In the year 1973, hostile alien lifeforms called the BETA land on Earth and begin an invasion of the planet. By the year 1998, almost the entire Eurasian continent has fallen, devastating the global population to around 2 billion humans, and the BETA begin invading Japan, overrunning almost half of the island nation. In order to fight back, humanity has developed the Tactical Surface Fighter, large mechas specifically designed to combat BETA, but they are still fighting a losing battle. TSF pilot Sayoko Komaki is transferred to a Japanese military base in Sadogashima, which is a critical strategic defense point. However, a massive BETA force attacks Sadogashima, and despite the best efforts of Sayoko and the base’s defenders, the BETA eventually overwhelm the defenses and begin overrunning the area. Instead of staying behind to fight, Sayoko is ordered to escort refugee transports for evacuation. As she and the survivors of Sadogashima leave the area, it is later revealed that Sadogashima soon became the site of the 21st BETA hive and the rest of Japan quickly fell with 36 million people dead or missing.
