deadoptimist said: Oh, this many comments already. Sorry for being late - I overslept (seriously ><).
I think, I'll write my impressions at first and then go into earlier comments.
In my opinion, the batttle was mostly unsatisfactory. When they started to explain the Inaho's plan, they lost me alltogether, because my logic centre couldn't process it and failed. Either I'm too stupid, or there wasn't any logic at all.
The writing is in a pitiful state, as usual.
Did they really need to show us half of the previous episode at the beginning?
Lol'd at the amount of sandwiched the kids did.
I wonder, why the earth forces didn't try to use some tactics besides "stand still while shooting-die-be avenged by Inaho" on their own territory (like, why martian infantry does whatever it wants?) Can't the writers let the adult trained militarymen save face by doing at least something heroic before dying?
Some missiles the castle has. I understand that they have the alien power source technology, but now also ground-underground missiles? Actually it's being bugging me for a while now - it is unclear, to what extent Vers uses alien technology and what it borrows from the Earth tech. Why did they become superior in everything in such a short period of time?
Saazbauim enjoying the fight ia a treat to watch. Can we remove all the schoolchildren from this anime and focus on the adults more, please? Like the pilots, that joked with Inko and the princess. Or lieutenant Marito?
Though among the kids Asseylum shines in this episode. Her development is most welcome.
I'm interested, whether Slaine can't or won't use Tharsis. And what was the point of showing it...? Oh, wait, so Inaho will, probably, get it. But then again what was the point of showing it with Slaine?
Dunno why Slaine abandons his plane and starts to run around the battlefield on foot.
Inaho's dialogue with the princess is written badly. I mean, can't she get to the point right from the start? Don't they want to hit her, because she hid this most important info? Why does Yuki protest, if there is no other alternative and they are being slaughtered? Why does Inaho feel the need to show his savantism, while keeping the link with Asseylum open?
It's a pity that Rayet will sacrifice herself for the sake of the princess. Eddelrittuo too - she was annoying, but the comic relief that she provided will be missed.
Saazbaum attacking in only one kat is nsulting for the UE. Can't they take down the sky carriers at least?
Inaho's plan... Sigh. I don't even know where to start. The stuffed fake kats got to me too much. And with the amount of missiles, that a whole martian castle has, all of them should be annihilated with ease. A whole castle of martians seems like kind of a problem too.
Though Deucalion ramming into the castle was nice.
On the bright side: I love this guy's stoic expression. XD And he knew about anime.He is like: "Commander, plz. This is japanese cartoons, so we are all gonna die, can u stop shouting". (Great "panicking officer" voice from his neighbor too ><)
You are the most annoying person on this site. Jesus Christ. Every week this bullshit.
Anyway, nice episode. Wasn't a fan of the loli driving, especially since the princess knew how to operate a kat. Then again, I guess she had to board the ship so it makes sense she wasn't driving. Disregard that. Just thinking out loud.
I was hoping the Deucalion would kamikaze into the landing castle and finish it that way, that would have been amazing.
Can't wait for the finale. So many anime this season started good then quickly became really bad- Tokyo Ghoul, Akame ga Kill, SOA II (to be fair this one was never good), Zankyou no Terror, etc. Aldnoah Zero is the only one that has been consistently good throughout the season. |
