Aldnoah.Zero Season One
| I think I figured it out! Inaho shows signs of Savant syndrome. He excels at mental calculations and military strategy, yet he behaves like an autistic person. Basically, he's rain man. I think I can forgive his character now and enjoy this anime just a little bit. |

You can call him boring to watch by your personal tastes but for me, it's great to see a new kind of character who isn't exactly overpowered, doesn't have any special equipment and all his accomplishments are explained on screen. It's much better than the usual squeaky teens who jump into any battle without thinking or Gary Stus like in Mahouka. I'm sorry, but you can't tell me that Inaho doesn't have something wrong with him. There is nothing wrong with him falling onto the autism spectrum, but he is definitely there. No normal human being I have ever met or seen acts like he does. Humans are not wired to be emotionless robots. Humans, at their core, are illogical creatures incapable of always making the right decision. I actually think that giving him autism makes the show a LOT better and explains everything. The inability to read the atmosphere, the strange fascination with eggs, and the habit of always taking the calm/logical approach. He excels at a lot of things, which a lot of people with Savant Syndrome do. The problem is I don't think the show is going to do this. I think this is the most exaggerated personality that anime has has created of the "Calm, cool guy that can do no wrong". Right now, he is bringing the show down because his lack of common emotions and "straight to the point" answers hurt the development of other smaller characters. Say what you want about Slaine, but he is 100x the character Inaho is RIGHT NOW. |

There's just not much going on with him and I personally don't get off on seeing some character just "kick some ass" with nothing else to really say about them. There's more than enough of that in any medium of entertainment with more interesting characters to boot that I don't feel I need to settle for it and should expect a main character with at least a little more going on than just what he does in battle. Even his interactions with other characters including Asseylum showcase no chemistry whatsoever to an almost comedic extent. I don't know why none of these thoughts ever really seem to occur to people. It's like nobody can really identify the basic necessities of having a functional well realized character in a work of fiction anymore, just having them "kick some ass" in big dumb action scenes is more than enough just as long as they don't show any sort of weakness or strong emotion. It's so dumb...people are dumb lol. Savethebestforu said: The problem is I don't think the show is going to do this.

That really is the bigger problem, that I've just seen no evidence that the show is ever going to get down to showcasing the why of what seem like some pretty basic things for some pretty basic characters. There certainly doesn't seem to be any time left for it in this cour at the very least. It also only really seems to want to tackle the absolute bare bones when it comes to the plot and it's cast and like all of it's creative energies are focused around the action set pieces with everything else written around that aspect of the show. Truthfully I've never really seen anything quite like this before with a TV anime and I don't mean that in a good way. It's incredibly bizarre just how flat the characters are, how they lack any sort of chemistry and how slow the sense of plot progression is for how many other technical things the show handles relatively fine. |

Its because when they ripped him off from lelouche they had no idea how to make him seem different enough to avoid being called hacks, so they just deleted his personality. |
SolviteSekai said: Its because when they ripped him off from lelouche they had no idea how to make him seem different enough to avoid being called hacks, so they just deleted his personality. I honestly feel like it was some long term gamble on whether people would go for a character that has no personality and is just better than experienced people at just about everything because it's unusual and because it means that at the very least people won't latch onto anything specific to bitch about cause the character gives them pretty much nothing. What can you say about Inaho as a character? I really can't think of anything that's changed about him at all despite going through what seems like it should be a pretty life changing experience. He's emotionless and he's the best at everything with seemingly nothing he doesn't know how to do. End of character arc. Maybe though the reality is that a character like Inaho hasn't really been done before in an anime for a reason. I don't think this sort of thing would work in any other form of fiction though because I just don't believe any other fandom is simple minded and has the same kind of tunnel vision to ever think it was a good idea. It's always like "Well at least he isn't a hot blooded idiot in an OP mech hurr!" Well okay he's not that I guess if that's supposed to mean anything to so many people and make him a great character by default apparently, but maybe point out something specifically good and noteworthy about him rather than make up some polar opposite extreme strawman example out of nowhere to explain why he's supposedly an ideal character. Just so dumb man..... |

| I think the show just has barebones writing. Very little about the world is explained. The government is barebones. Inaho's feelings for the princess is barebones. We have no idea what the standard unit for the Olympus forces is. We have no idea whats going on anywhere but japan. This show is quite honestly the call of duty of anime. Its a hyper linear series of action set pieces tied together by coincidence and michael bay esque explosions. |
| Wait, which Call of Duty... |
fst said: Wait, which Call of Duty... Pick one after Cod 4. I dont mean story or plot similarity. I mean we are essentially just following inaho around as he goes place to place fighting battles. The reasons for the battles are random. Theres no world building. We have no idea whats going on anywhere but on the straight line that is the path inaho is taking. |
| ...but CoD jumps around between different characters in different parts of the world on different missions. So I don't get it. |
fst said: ...but CoD jumps around between different characters in different parts of the world on different missions. So I don't get it. only in the first few. |
| Wut. CoD4 is constantly switching between the American and the British up until halfway in MW2 is constantly switching between the TF141 and the Foley, but then there's that part where you go to space. Later on, TF141 splits up too. In MW3, you're constantly switching between the disavowed TF141 and the Delta Force squad. Black Ops has you do multiple missions as Hudson instead of Mason. I don't know about the rest because I haven't played them. |

Its a hyper linear series of action set pieces tied together by coincidence and michael bay esque explosions. You know for all the arguments we've had and how I've kind of historically seen you as a troll I have to respect that you can at least identify that much that eludes so many yet seems just kind of undeniable at this point where we've just had the penultimate episode of the cour. God help this show if it didn't have the ever popular soundtrack everyone seems to love is all I can say cause it seems like about the only thing keeping it from entering the shit-storm at this point along with the action set pieces which I guess are just enough for most people in a slow summer season with not too many shows to compete with it. I just can't see it getting this much of a pass without those things really and airing in Spring or Fall which it seems to be actively avoiding doing which strikes me as pretty damn smart. Anyway you're doing a hell of a lot better than most when it comes to at least some critical commentary and thinking about what it is you're watching so keep that much up and I may start having to reform my opinion about you. If I could make a suggest just keep focusing on asking the obvious questions where it seems like nobody else will, nobody can call you a troll just for doing that much. |

| I agree that it would be better, if the series finally addressed Inaho's strangeness. A savant character lacks some important traits, so that should be compensated by exploring how different he is. They could show the contrast against normal characters or make other characters reflect on how special he is. At least something should've been done about it. |

It's so dumb...people are dumb lol. That's what *you* would like in an series. Personally, I care more about world buildup and struggles in the series as a whole rather than the main character - which Aldnoah is still failing at despite the plot being a war between worlds. Inaho is only my personal choice to view the world from a neutral point. His personality seems more exaggerated not because of what he does but what everyone else doesn't do. There have been no fights where anyone else did something useful, the Earth government isn't even shown yet. The series just crumbles itself, it's not really a character trait's fault. Yeah basically |
| Guys lets just say it like it is. Inaho has aspergers. |
| op, you're using the availability heuristic. without looking at your list i am 100% sure that you based your observation on ep 9 of terror in resonance |
| I don't think he has Savant Syndrome, but that actually Inaho may have something similar to it. I've been thinking about it from Ep. 2-onwards, and I think that he might actually have Asperger's Syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome I mean, read this and tell me that doesn't sound like Inaho. Plus, I know a few people with Asperger's, and they behave in a similar manner to him. |

InahoKaizuka said: OP's signature GIF lol'ed me inaho is one of those people who are emotionless but not really emo, hes just calm and shows emotion when necessary. He showed plenty of emotion after Aseylum died. It was just not flashy like you'd normally see in other MC's |
InTheOtherWorld said: This is exactly what I was thinking of when I said Inaho might have some sort of autism.I don't think he has Savant Syndrome, but that actually Inaho may have something similar to it.

dyson004 said: Seriously? Your first inclination is to say Inaho is somewhere on the autism spectrum or he has Asperger's syndrome because he's reserved and and capable? Subtlety is lost on the lowest common denominator and it shows. Simply because he doesn't loudly emote, he lacks emotion? Unbelievable. Inaho clearly had emotions, as shown by the slow crawl towards the princess in the last episode and the flash backs. Just because he doesn't articulate how he feels out loud, you think he wasn't fond of the princess? Why else would he spend so much time with her? And entertain her banter? To Inaho, spending time with someone is the ultimate signal demonstrating he enjoys their company. Otherwise, he simply wouldn't hang around someone that annoys him. Inaho is a rationalist. He's a man of logic with a calculating mind, which is juxtaposed to Slaine. Slaine is Inaho's foil. Slaine is a ball of unfettered emotion. He's driven by a desire to save the one Martian who showed him any consideration, the princess, until other Martians show a demonstrable amount of trust and mutual respect (Saaz letting him go, and giving him the choice of who to fight for, and the nameless soldier who saves Slaine and then is subsequently gunned down after giving Slaine an emotional gut check.) In the finale, Slaine comes upon the scene of Asseyleum hobbling towards Inaho. Asseyleum, his princess, is showing concern towards another man. Slaine's emotional. He's confused. And then Saaz shoots Asseyleum down. Slaine returns fire. Inaho crawls towards Asseyleum while Slaine clears the jam in his gun, and then draws down on Inaho. They confirm their identities to each other ("Orange" and "Bat".) Inaho flips over and draws his pistol. Why? Inaho is the cold, rational man to the end. He just saw the man who killed the princess thank Slaine for his help. Whether it was Slaine's intent or not is unimportant, as he bears responsibility in the death of the princess. Additionally, Inaho's not stupid. Back in episode 7, when Inaho and Slaine first met, Inaho tried to clarify Slaine's relationship to the princess. At the time, Inaho knew that the only people who were aware that the princess was still alive were the people who were trying to kill her. Slaine refuses to clarify his relationship and doubles down on his demand to see the princess. Inaho inquires if Slaine has an issue with the princess being exploited. Slaine opens fire first. Inaho returns fire and downs Slaine's plane. All that to say, Slaine shot first. Inaho knows this man has tried to kill him already. Inaho is badly injured. He can't get away. Slaine's a visibly emotional wreck with a gun, pointing at him. There's little hope of negotiating with him and Inaho doubts that Slaine can be trusted. He's tried to kill him previously. The best he can hope for is that Slaine misses or shoots him in a non-fatal area or that Slaine's pistol malfunctions *again*. Inaho takes a calculated risk, and this time, for the first time in the show, he lost. Inaho died the way he lived, and was one of the best main characters I've seen in a long time. He took on OP Mechas in a trainer and won his fights by picking his enemies apart through on the fly analysis and tactical strategy, unlike Lelouch who used the power of a God to control enemy soldiers and spread dissent and disruption among the ranks. He made the most of the military training he received while he was at school, but most of all, he won battle after battle because he was a competent tactician who remained calm. Exactly, this is also why he's my favorite character |

And then Saaz shoots Asseyleum down. Slaine returns fire. Inaho crawls towards Asseyleum while Slaine clears the jam in his gun, and then draws down on Inaho. They confirm their identities to each other ("Orange" and "Bat".) Inaho flips over and draws his pistol. Why? Inaho is the cold, rational man to the end. He just saw the man who killed the princess thank Slaine for his help. Whether it was Slaine's intent or not is unimportant, as he bears responsibility in the death of the princess. Additionally, Inaho's not stupid. Back in episode 7, when Inaho and Slaine first met, Inaho tried to clarify Slaine's relationship to the princess. At the time, Inaho knew that the only people who were aware that the princess was still alive were the people who were trying to kill her. Slaine refuses to clarify his relationship and doubles down on his demand to see the princess. Inaho inquires if Slaine has an issue with the princess being exploited. Slaine opens fire first. Inaho returns fire and downs Slaine's plane. All that to say, Slaine shot first. Inaho knows this man has tried to kill him already. Inaho is badly injured. He can't get away. Slaine's a visibly emotional wreck with a gun, pointing at him. There's little hope of negotiating with him and Inaho doubts that Slaine can be trusted. He's tried to kill him previously. The best he can hope for is that Slaine misses or shoots him in a non-fatal area or that Slaine's pistol malfunctions *again*. Inaho takes a calculated risk, and this time, for the first time in the show, he lost. Inaho died the way he lived, and was one of the best main characters I've seen in a long time. He took on OP Mechas in a trainer and won his fights by picking his enemies apart through on the fly analysis and tactical strategy, unlike Lelouch who used the power of a God to control enemy soldiers and spread dissent and disruption among the ranks. He made the most of the military training he received while he was at school, but most of all, he won battle after battle because he was a competent tactician who remained calm. Thank the heavens for this post. I don't see why people act like all people have to be so dramatical and flamboyant, to be honest I relate with Inaho more than most main characters. Maybe every time there's emotional characters who can never chill they should be accused of having a histrionic disorder |

dyson004 said: Seriously? Your first inclination is to say Inaho is somewhere on the autism spectrum or he has Asperger's syndrome because he's reserved and and capable? Subtlety is lost on the lowest common denominator and it shows. Simply because he doesn't loudly emote, he lacks emotion? Unbelievable. Inaho clearly had emotions, as shown by the slow crawl towards the princess in the last episode and the flash backs. Just because he doesn't articulate how he feels out loud, you think he wasn't fond of the princess? Why else would he spend so much time with her? And entertain her banter? To Inaho, spending time with someone is the ultimate signal demonstrating he enjoys their company. Otherwise, he simply wouldn't hang around someone that annoys him. Inaho is a rationalist. He's a man of logic with a calculating mind, which is juxtaposed to Slaine. Slaine is Inaho's foil. Slaine is a ball of unfettered emotion. He's driven by a desire to save the one Martian who showed him any consideration, the princess, until other Martians show a demonstrable amount of trust and mutual respect (Saaz letting him go, and giving him the choice of who to fight for, and the nameless soldier who saves Slaine and then is subsequently gunned down after giving Slaine an emotional gut check.)

| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Inaho has Aspergers or autism. They should say that, it would explain his personality (or lack of there-of.) |

| I honestly liked Inaho's character. It's nice to have a protagonist in a mech series that isn't overreacting, indecisive or crying over how wrong it feels to kill someone. He's calm, smart, gets straight to the point and gets the job done. It's quite refreshing actually. |

So Lelouche, Orange, Suzaku, L-Elf, every single Dorsian in Valvrave, Everyone in Gundam Wing, Everyone in Gundam 08th MS Team, and everyone but Shinji in Evangelion wasnt enough? Why do people insist that these characters are rare? THEY ARE ONLY RARE IN BATTLE SHOUNEN. |
SolviteSekai said: This...Also i love how they tried to cover the lack of those with a shocking ending and sadly it worked for most of people...Even for me.I never liked any of characters but now i hate how stupid Slaine was and forgot everything about the anime...I think the show just has barebones writing. Very little about the world is explained. The government is barebones. Inaho's feelings for the princess is barebones. We have no idea what the standard unit for the Olympus forces is. We have no idea whats going on anywhere but japan. This show is quite honestly the call of duty of anime. Its a hyper linear series of action set pieces tied together by coincidence and michael bay esque explosions. For the original topic...Was expecting a backstory of Inaho for acting like that too much?It almost feels like they killed him because they didnt want to bother for creating depth to his character...Not too much,just 1 episode focusing on why he acts like that and most of the Inaho haters would be dead before they born... |

Why do people insist that these characters are rare? THEY ARE ONLY RARE IN BATTLE SHOUNEN. .......? I never said it were rare, numb nuts. When I said protagonist, I was referring to the "main protagonist." The one the series mainly focuses on. Not the many characters you just pulled out of series(major and minor) to support your pointless retort. No shit there are characters with that archetype in many other series, they're not even rare in battle shounen either. My point is that those types of personalities are less often associated with the main character. Of the shows you listed, I believe only the protagonist of Gundam Wing has the a somewhat similar personality, minus the intelligence. Lelouch... ehh he's somewhat of a drama queen in my opinion. The only other one I can think of off the top of my head is Setsuna from Gundam 00. Now if you ask me how many protagonist fitted the criteria from my previous comment, then I could sit here all day. NOW, with that said, do I believe Inaho is a well written character? Not really. But did I enjoy him in this show? You bet. |
