Thoughts on Muv-luv Alternative?

For those who have played MLA, what are you thoughts on it? It's the most well-received VN, so I would like to hear what you guys think.

It was alright I suppose, however I still feel like the writers became too ambitious with the plot.
The ending was a major disappointment, with all of the world building and inexplicable questions raised throughout the story, the plot was hyped up to be something so incredibly grand that would tie everything up perfectly. But in the end, nothing truly amazing happened, in fact it felt like the story wasn't even finished. It felt like the show promised to solve all of the inexplicable events that occurred but only did so halfheartedly. Perhaps I expected too much out of it, but in the end the story wasn't as amazing as I'd hoped it would be halfway through.

[quote=Uonatrik]I liked it a lot. It felt a bit rushed between the last 2 arcs, but I really liked the action and animation. The ending might've been a bit abrupt, and I wish it was a bit longer, but overall it was a fun ride. I just wish they were able to flesh out the world more after his departure from the Alternative-verse. If age milks the franchise a bit more we might be able to see it, but I doubt it. The TSF fights during the coup d'etat, the trauma during the PTSD arc, BETA fights, it was all really done well, but could've been even better with more budget + time.[/quote]

So would your problem with the ending have to do with what they did with Takeru at the end? Most of the complaints I hear are about that.
