Great thread title, fantastic first episode. That bridge scene was loving brutal, holy gently caress.

Episode 2 solidified this show for me, definitely interested in seeing Martians obliterate everything around our stoic protagonist.

Wonder if we'll get to see humans use chemical or biological weapons to counterattack. Or maybe we'll get the ID4 response of computer virus!

That's a drat shame because I really like where this show is going. The animation is really great as well, looking forward to meteor barrage on the city soon.

I just realized why I like the martians so much. For those who have watched Turn A Gundam, they're a race made up entirely of Gym Ginghams (with a couple exceptions). And it's great.



:allears:

Episode 4 continues with pretty solid stuff. This seems to be one of the better Mecha shows that I've seen, and I can't help but echo how satisfying it is to see protagonists resolve an issue with something other than whipping out a special finisher from their OP as gently caress specialized Gundam.

You can't really show a body that's been burnt to nothing by a massive plasma anime sword or whatever so he's assuredly dead.



:colbert: I still think there's ambiguity, though if he is dead that is an ice cold death right in the middle of calling for his Gundam.


e: Thrown in spoilers as it relates to the event discussed in this episode.

I think this show has broken more core mecha show concepts than any other I've seen, and it's done it in a fantastic way. :allears:

Episode 11: Well that plan went to poo poo quickly, so much for having a sweet hijacked spaceship. Maybe they'll upgrade to a sweet hijacked castle now? Also Slaine cannot catch a loving break in the history of ever, he must've pissed off some martian gods or something.

She'll die in his arms.:negative:

Given the current positions of characters if this were a Gundam series I'd bank on Slaine falling for Rayet or vice versa.

Calling it now: Season 2 TIMESKIP: Slaine's lost his poo poo, got the princess, "protecting her" but she's been in a coma or something, and he's got the machine he used at the end of this episode, hiding her from the other Knights, but fighting against Terrans possibly hiding his identity, basically being a huge rear end in a top hat Char.

Inaho's still alive, but while getting treatment they find some evidence of him being able to power Aldnoah drives, from when he resuscitated Asseylum. This clues them in that she's still alive, the Terran forces make an Aldnoah powered Kataphrakt for Inaho, and the Deucalion crew are tasked with finding her to end the war.

PS Inaho's got a sweet Solid Snake eyepatch now.


If they go that angle I hope instead that the Princess is dead but Slaine has totally gone mental and so he just has her dead body seatbelted into his stolen Gundam and he talks to her and poo poo. The war continues as normal except he just stumbles around into battlefields mumbling about protecting his Queen and obliterating everything around him like a natural disaster. :magical:

I'm torn: on one hand, Slaine is still immensely easy to hate because he's a terrible individual. On the other hand, he displayed some sort of competence, which doesn't fit him at all. Maybe his mech is the worlds biggest crutch or something.

Aldnoah Zero: The best laid plans of Slaine Troyard suck

I like Count Mazuurek a lot, of the Martian leaders he seems like the only one with any sense of compassion for others while still being pretty quick witted when it's needed.

autist fights super robots in a generic mech was fun for a while in season 1 and slaine playing the game of space thrones was fun for a while in season 2 but overall it was a whole lot of nothing

Pretty much this. I still don't really understand Slaine's motivations at all, the decisions he made are all nonsensical as gently caress. When Inaho and the humans were underdogs you had something to root for, and it was interesting to see how he would cobble a way out of the situation. With Eyenaho all the tension evaporated.
