My thoughts of Aldnoah Zero over all, and why i hate Slain. Do you hate slaine?

SPOILERS ALERT:
For some reason im really enjoying this anime. and i can easily say that this can be my favorite anime. We all like different types of anime, and have our own opinions. Right? Personally i love the anime. I dont know why, but this anime really caught my attention since episode 1, even though im not really into Mecha anime. I love the music, animation, plot of the story, fight scenes, and the characters. Throughout season 1 i liked both Inaho and Slaine, until episode 12. Here's why. reason 1, Slaine let the count shoot princess Asseylum, and yes it was his fault. He knew that the count ordered the hit on princess Asseylum. He tried to stop the count, but didnt try hard enough.Plus when the Martians were headed down to earth Slaine already knew that the count had ordered his people to shoot and kill Princess Asseylum on sight. Reason 2. Slaine stopped Inaho from killing the count, which ended with the count shooting the princess. The count basically said to Slaine "thank you, you saving me allowed me to kill the princess." When Slaine heard those words, he lost it and shot the count. To little too late. Reason 3 Slaine shot Inaho (obviously.) At the end of episode 12 i was confused, angry, sad, and feeling trolled when the episode ended. I thought how is it possible to have a season 2. i wasnt planning on seeing season 2. I was angry of seeing too many anime with bad endings, and i said (forget this anime i hate it.) Then they showed us that poster of Inaho. Now i had hope and was counting the days until season 2 aired. Now to talk about episode 13. I was so hyped when episode 13 aired. Know one knew if my boy Inaho was going to return, and when they showed him. I just smiled closed my eyes and said "i love this anime Inaho is back". Reason 4 of why i hate Slaine. In the opening of episode 13 we see Slaine killing terrans, even though he is one himself. Reason 5 we find out later in the episode what Slaine did after he shot Inaho. He apologized to the count and didnt finish him off. He let him live even though he shot and tried to kill the princess. Plus he also kidnapped the princess and just left Inaho there to die. Luckily Inko and Yuki found him. ( that cry that Inko let out after they find out that the Deucalion couldnt fly sent shivers down my spine. Just wanted you guys to know ) In this episode we see a broadcast of "the princess" supporting the war against the terrans. Its is not really Princess Asseylum though, it is her sister. Even another reason to hate Slaine he knows that the princess wants to make peace with the humans, but he is allowing this fake broadcast to be sent out to the Terrans therefore allowing the war to continue. When the episode was about to end i already hated Slaine. Then in the last minutes we find out that Slaine is keeping the princess in some water chamber. Asleep and not knowing what is happening Slaine just walks up to the princess and says to her " i see that once again you are in a happy mood" WTF! by the end i despised and was really able to say F**k Slaine! Here are my thoughts and why i hate slain. What are your thoughts, and do you hate Slain?

Slaine Kidnapping Asseylum is not true He's trying to Heal Her For the Last 19 Months



Your right. I should change that, but now the princess is probably being held in that chamber and he doesn't want her to wake up. My thoughts

Thats the result of Slaine fans being butthurt that he is now a villain.

Tatsuya-kun said:
I feel like the writers thought "Hey guys, let's do something with Slaine" at the end of episode 12. Now we're at 13 and they are like "Remember we wanted to do something with Slaine? Yeah? Fuck it, we go complete retard route now". The fact that he's still loyal while completely ignoring Hime's wishes means he fucked up big in general.

What are you talking about? There is no Akame ga Kill Anime

robis798 said:
Do you love Inaho that much or do you hate Slaine that much? Cause Inaho hating interfares with Slaine hating.

Darklight0303 said:
Even if I didn't like Inaho I would still hate Slaine's guts until they spilled on the floor after he got gutted by karma.

mayukachan said:
Even in this season, Inahoe is still Bella Swan. No emotions whatsover.

Marloges said:
Slaine is the only good character in the series. I hate that Inaho and the princess are still alive. Cheap as fuck cliffhanger... But pretty obvious. Whatever, this will probably have another cliché ending where good prevails because of kisses and the power of love, lmao.

Your definition of good character is disturbing

robis798 said:

He is a better character than Inaho, even if Slaine is bad. He has more traits than Inahoe, Slaine's behavior can actually be discussed. Inaho is just an empty space.

Inaho had more development than Slaine. Yes, I just stated that Inaho had development, believe it or not. It's just that most people just skim over the show and don't notice anything. For many people it just seems to be:

If the person is not a completely different character after the "development", then there was no development!

But that is a very naive perspective.

Personally I always consider two "types" of development.

"Shock development", which is an event that extremely shocks the person and brings about anger and/or other emotions in them, leading to them changing their MO at least slightly. This never happened to Slaine, but it happened to Inaho very early on, when one of his classmates was disintegrated directly before his eyes. 90% of people missed this and dismissed this as "the robot clearly shows no expression so nothing changed in him" which is the greatest BS I have heard in years. If you instead look at Inaho's behaviour before and after that scene you will notice fast that Inaho's goal of "let's bring everyone into safety and focus on surviving" changes into "LET'S FUCKING KILL THAT BASTARD (while not showing it on my face)".

"Long-Term development" is the other one, which both Slaine as well as Inaho went through. For Slaine it was making up his resolve, which started from the time he talked with Saazbaum until he decided to kill Inaho for whatever goal he now has in mind. In case of Inaho it was him being able to show his emotions thanks to his relationship with the princess. Yes, that he was able to smile a bit in this episode was NOT due to "cyborg modifications", but due to his relationship with the princess, because he was also able to show emotions right before he "died".


Ok, now time to raise my FLAME SHIELD. I'll take you on!

Can anyone explain what's so likeable about that cardboard cutout character known as Inahoe?

Grey-Zone said:


Anything that is not being spoonfed or not outright stated MUST be "empty space"? Nope.

Darklight0303 said:
Didn't you get the memo? The ability to read subtlety is a lost art in this day and age. YOu need big skyscraper sized neon signs for things to be considered fact

Grey-Zone said:


Every time I post something and no one answers I am not sure if they for some reason ignored my post, or if they actually realized that my point is valid and they have nothing to retort it with, so I sometimes ask again. But until now the only posts I saw in respone to mine in regards to Inaho's development were people agreeing with me, both here and on another forum, but not a single one that tried to retort against it.

Then either on another thread, or later on after a few pages have piled up on the same thread, someone "critisizes" Inaho for being a "robot" again.

Marloges said:
It's not about who had better development, at least not for me... It's about "how interesting is this character? Do I want to see more of him?" And in the case of Inaho the answer is a clear NO. He is not interesting at all, again, for me not at least. I just hate how he manages to just fix everything on his own, how he stays calm and so on. Sure, there are geniuses, but does he have to act so cool? It makes the show more lame. It is all about: "Yeah, they're going to fight until Inaho appears with a genius new plan" Than he executes his plan, the enemy robot is defeated, rinse and repeat.

I just can't find such a character sympathic. It just doesn't work in his case. For example I LOVE Tokuchi Toua from One Outs. He is another character who is always calm and plans everthing, but it just works with him. I like this character, and it just seems to me that he actually isn't "empty" like Inaho. Probably because he often laughs, I don't know.

Slaine on the other hand is a character I like to see. I agree with the majority that he's doing bullshit, but I can understand his motives and like to see what's going to happen with him, you know.

Darklight0303 said:


Slaine's fate is no mystery. He's not getting a happy end. He lost any chance of that last season and in this first episode seeing how he's dragging the war on and using the princess to fuel it. Something he got upset at Inaho for implying. You just like Slaine. He's not better in any way and his utter incompetence and lack of rational thought is off the charts.

you don't know that Give it time

Darklight0303 said:


I'll be sure to remind you then when I am proven right. Then again you are stuck in your own ideal little world like Slaine so you probably won't admit it even at the end.

Please try to present a better counter argument than a kindergarten level of "No you" You're embarrassing yourself.

The Show me Proof that Slaine is in his own world

Darklight0303 said:


Look at his first lines in this first episode. Asseylum would never bless him to kill terrans with an overpowered mech. She would never want her image used to feed the fire of the war. And the final scene is the pinacle of his insanity. His actions are those of an obsessed mad man.
