I'm having trouble with your English, but from what I understood all the problems you mentioned are plot holes and writers slackness, not character build flaws.
I understand if you think this anime is an insult to your sacred mecha genre -though I'm against stereotyping anime- and I understand if characters like Slaine are not your favorite, but I still think he is well written as far as the show goes. And I believe all the hate and debate around him indicates so.

my hate is addressed to Katsuhiko Takayama, making it the script, making the dialogues. if Gen Urobuchi would not have done tamnhha shit with the characters, you saw the clip of Psycho-Pass Movie, just two minutes clip, were better than all 11 episodes of the second season of Psycho-Pass 2.
Katsuhiko Takayama 90% of their work facing the shojo genre.

A war crime that happened in a war leading to a better future.... i don't see your problem.


Thats like saying that Hitler did nothing wrong because what he did was to give Germany a better future. Murdering people on a massive scale is wrong period no matter what your goal is, specially if its civilians.
Plain and simple Lebensraum for an evil Empire. Unlike the diseased Vagan who were abandoned and the Spacenoids of Zeon that were politically oppressed, the oppression of Vers citizens like Rayet comes from Vers' rulers.

I do love me some space battles, and this one was pretty good.

Rayet - Mustang 22
What?! She should be Mustang 01 (since Inaho is 00). She's the 2nd smarted person in the whole anime... rawr! /rage

Yay, some new main plot plot!
Pretty interesting, but it does feel at lot more light-hearted than the first season.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Inaho vs. Slaine was a bad try at fanservice, like someone would take that seriously after ep. 13.


People hating on Slaine, where do you get your arguments from? Fighting on Mars' side isn't enough to make him villain/mad man/bad character.

No surprise that Ina-robo-ho has literally become a machine now. I see Slaine is proving his worth as best boy. That face off between them at the end pretty much sums up the entire fan war over them that's been going on for months here. Not a huge fan of the OP but I like the ED.

The fated meeting happened again. Orange-kun x Gull.

Guess Eddel isn't growing any time soon.

Glad the new princess knows her place since she wasn't in the 1st season.

Liked the 1st opening better. Dat godly Kalafina music. Also, I prefer the epic ending theme from the 1st season.

I'll be direct and say it:
I don't like that bionic eye.

Why? Because it is making an already OP character more OP. How comes that now he is the only one that can predict the shot trajectory with that eye? So, everyone else is useless again! I mean, if the software of that eye is so amazing why the hell don't they install it in their Cataphracts units so they can aim better and have trajectory curves too!?

I don't want a one man army.

I really loved first season, even with its inconsistencies and Inaho's OPness but this is too much BS. Besides, the OP and ED are not near as good as they were, shame.

PD: That "I hate you" from the new princess... JA, such a lie.

Slaine: Dn't wurry we wil C da prncess smil agen, onc e we kil al l her frends

Man, episode 2 and he hasn't died yet? I've been waiting since last episode, how long is this going to take?! I'm tired of him giving sexual favors to that count.

What EXACTLY makes these morons believe that conquering earth will change anything??? why the hell would it? virtually every government on Earth has the same problem with corruption, lol. In fact - and I was thinking this the entire last season - it's a HUGE leap to blame earth for the situation on Mars like they've alluded to several times. It wasn't "Earth" that control Aldnoah. It wasn't "Earth" controlling their corrupt government. It wasn't "Earth" that took their resources.

I guess living on Mars and in space make you a really irrational primate. Ooga Booga!

Well, maybe Slaine dies in the next episode. Hopefully.

They both still defend their idealism. So far, Slaine keep rock headed by believing Marstitian ideologism, and try hard control the earth. While the earth forces, unfortunately not given much explanations and details with how they can control that space base, trying hard to give some counter attacks. It makes everything worse, because our beloved princess (the true one) still in comatosed. And her sister in law, was just pure evil. Everything just pured misunderstanding. I know shit will always served as a based idea. But the whole no explanations with how further progression happen on time skip, really irritated me. Such a stressful thought, nothing i can say, rather than just stay watch. Lmao.

However, on this season, both Inaho and Slaine give a same amount of power, keeping both of them balance in term as MC. While in the previous session, its clearly just show how Inaho overcome everything. And Slaine just comes as a blamed. Lets see how well they keep it balance until the last blow. Damn that Saazbaum, until when he can survived?

Yep now is the time for their rivalry to hit the high point. Now that they both have mechs and are both fighting for their respective sides they can fully clash.

Its interesting how they change the music based on the senario. Breathless is generally used for ground combat, Keep on keeping on is used for space and Aliez is used for the nuke epic scenes XD.

Also I hate that new princess's hair style. The way it like bobs out really bugs me for some reason. Obviously also she herself is pretty bad but her hair in particular bugs me.

The ending theme song and art is good.

Inaho gets to be super OP now with the eye upgrade. While Slaine is gonna get the girl (the princess' half sister) though not the girl he's always wanted.

Yeah, I still think that the OP is nice, but the vocals just don't fit the scenery all too well... Felt more like an AMV than actual OP.

Now both Inaho and Slaine have an activation factor, not only that, both of them attain an enhanced visual perception, through mechanical or other means. Aside from that, Inaho wins with his genius-like strategic intelligence though that is equal to Slaine's proficiency in handling his kataphrakt. With that being said, Slaine has the upper advantage due to his significantly more technologically superior kataphrakt, still... In practice, or shall I say, in combat, they're both pretty much equal with all of these taken into account.

It's about time we got a rematch between these two boys, now... IF ONLY INKO SHUT HER BITCH-ASS MOUTH UP AND STOP SCREAMING INAHO'S NAME EVERY FEW SECOND AND MIND HER OWN DAMN BUSINESS The weak should not worry about the strong, she should just try to contribute something to the war other than testing that her mic and communications work by screaming shit all the fucking time.

So, really was the kiss that gives inaho the Aldnoah power huh? I was refusing to accept this bullshit but after this episode is impossible. This reveal a really ugly plothole in the anime, in the first season Slaine was saved by the princess the same way that Inaho saved the princess, but why only Inaho got the Aldnoah power this way? And if is that way the power is passed, that means the king kissed every single general under his command? Because them too have access to the Aldnoah power. That is what I call a bad writing. And I will not even mention the "wind" in the space right? I know that exists a thing called solar wind, but obviously it's not that wind in the anime.

Is Slane and Inaho fighting that big a deal? They barely interacted in the last season, and when they did it wasn't exactly on the friendliest of terms. Aside from "Hey, I know this guy", there isn't much else to remark on with their rivalry.

The confrontation in space was pretty cool, with the insert track and the fluid animation.
