| It seems that the princess didn't say Inahoe's name when she woke up after all. Seems like I wasn't the one delusional. But yeah, it's pretty damn predictable now. She will remember what happened fully few episodes later and ditch Slaine. ZZZZZzzzz |
 |
| Slaine is starting stressed by the weight of his decision and the show. Started rather slow but the ending with the soundtrack was really good, loved how Inaho commented that the new patterns of knights' attacks are by Slaine's command. I wish they showed Inaho's tactical side more than the technical one. |
Maryruss said: That's true. It would have been like knife in his back, but on the other hand, this way is like stabbing him multiple times and then pouring salt on those wounds.Symqn said: was hoping she would said Inahos name when she woke up because FUCK YOU SLAIN. Jaja, that would be amusing. |

| Someone else pointed this out on another forum and I can totally see it happening I get the feeling this is gonna be the battle that will destroy his orange machine. Forcing him to get a new and better one to pilot. Odin needs his Sleipnir. Make it happen. Please make this happen lol |
Savethebestforu said: Sorry for possibly starting a flame war, but tell me again why Slaine isn't unanimously considered the best character in this show? Without him the plot would be nothing. He's the most polarizing character that I can remember in recent history, and his haters are the most passionate people I have ever seen on the internet. I just can't see any other character that can stand up to him in this show. This. So much this. In a show with high production values, that's being brought down by it's extremely flat and uninteresting characters, Slaine is the only one that provides us with any real content or development. Is he flawed? Very much so and his questionable morality and choices will most probably cost him his life before this show is over, but there can be little doubt that he's the most interesting character bar none. |

That's all he requires to come up with couter tactics. Slaine has sneaky tactics which he can use to his advantage, as shown in his fight with Count curly he clearly maps out the environment and uses the best to his benefits.I hope Slaine is not giving any commands on how the Counts should fight cause that will be the worse for Inaho. Lol he knows jack squat about Earth though so he can't be that sneaky. |

Terrans use mass-produced kats, if he loses his Sleipnir he can easily get a new one. It already happened after he defeated Vlad.

The problem is that there was never actual development, they are currently a forcing a new persona on Slaine. In the first season all he cared about is the princess. Why does he suddenly care so much about being the king of vers? The world will never know. |

Out of nowhere he get such artifices, in the second season, so that makes it an artificial character, who suffered upgrades for convenience, and not naturally |
| I really hate Slaine, i cant wait till the princess finally realizes what has happened. |

Do not force your Child ATV and delusional views in other users. Slaine and their forced and artificial development with forced coveniecias of events. that makes it all work pro lated in his second season with no difficulty, a fact that the convenience is shown when no count is opposed to it, all artificial, for convenience and strength. "why not face the facts asshole" OMFG LOL. seujair bringing out the big guns. Amazing. all tactics and commands, won artificially and strength through the convenience, Slaine has never been shown to be capable of such qualities in the first season.

TheGilgamesh said: Slaine it`s the best character in this anime (and the more interesting) . Inaho it`s plane and Asseylum it`s a topical idealist princess The princess is far from typical, she ran out into a freaking battlefield in order to stop the war with her own hands. Yes she loves peace but she's not just wishing for it while being naive of the world. She understood her naivety and decided to go out and fight for the peace even if it meant risking her life..... which put her in a coma for 6 episodes. Inaho, god damn it where's Greyzones lengthy post of all the information that makes him far from plain I really don't want to type all that up so i'll just say this, there are so many subtle undertones to that character that for some reason so many people seem to miss, not pay attention to, or completely disregard and ignore. |

I just can't see any other character that can stand up to him in this show. In4 people call him a yandere immoral murderer, as if morality determines a character's worth. Cause some people may only like a character with whom they always agree. They need to associate themselves with him and like being him to think him a good character. And they evaluate characters the same way they would evaluate a friend or maybe even employee - their favourite character should be morally flawless, don't make mistakes, be on the right side. It also usually goes with thinking themselves always right ("Why does he do this thing? It's stupid, I would never...") In my opinion it is most characteristic for young males. That's my honest impression. wow thats deep btw. I think what is gonna happen, is that at the very end asseylum will forgive slaine and anything seems to be alright. Then some mad bitch will kill one of the three. maybe fake princess, killing inaho for slaine, or killing slaine because.. too obvious. This show is so stupid sometimes, everything is passible. |

A character who never proved capable of such acts and deeds, and have such habilididades the first tempora, and suddenly in the second season appears with various skills and aptitude to various things that have never been shown. Simply refers to an artificial written, strength and convenience. Development very forced through artificial means, showing the super gains questions which have never been able to wake up. Of course you are one of those who like, a stupid character, have an entirely artificial transformation, winning several skills and aptitude for certain subjects, artificially and for convenience |

It is really just the same when people dismiss Slaine's development and arbitrarily recast him as a generic villian, one that has to be hated 24/7, when he is honestly far more than that. Even though this episode pretty much confirmed him as the generic villain. Still sipping on those denial fumes |

Not disagreeing with you, but in all honesty people don't dislike slaine as a villian, they dislike slaine because he is a villian. Slaine's actions are the reason people hate him, not because he's badly written or anything. Well maybe some. |

| I know seujair is just gonna keep shouting about it, but I don't find it that hard to believe that the guy with the mech that can see the future turned into a good pilot during the really long time skip. *shrug* |

Takayama made it clear in a recent interview (Newtype, November) that they were purposely going for 'someone who doesn't second-guess him/herself'. "A lot of things have been said about Inaho, but he actually 'became/was written as' a true hero. Back when I worked with Director Shinbo Akiyuki (of SHAFT fame), he told me that 'heroes can't worry (over their decisions)', and that really struck a chord with me. On top of that, as (author) Miyazawa Kenji wrote in his poem "Be not defeated by the rain", it's necessary to leave your own safety out of the equation (i.e. to just be concerned about the safety of others). It's not that he doesn't say kind things that leave others saying he's 'a good person', but rather, the outcomes of his actions speak of his kindness. Furthermore, he's just doing what he thinks he should do. When we reflected on what exactly it is that makes a hero, on the character that would take the most effective actions in this story, Inaho quite naturally came into being." |

I wouldn't know, from my perspective I like how they're both written, that's all that matters to me. The problem is posts Just like the one above yours, statements like those in all honesty are incredibly annoying. |

Inaho it`s the Kirito`s mecha pilot version . They are plane characters that the people like beacause they are the more powerful (too powerful , ludicrously) characters in his worlds At least Inaho hasn`t got a great harem . One point pro to Orange The princess in my understanding it`s typical , she hasn`t nothing resaltable . I think there are some characters more charismatics (like Slaine or Rayet) So being powerful equals to being like Kirito?Sigh. This is getting ridiculous. |
|
| Btw, I hope that the older count won't get rekt too fast. He seems as an interesting man, from the same generation as Cruhteo and Saazbaum or slightly older. He seems really battle hungry, and he was intelligent enough to wait for a good moment and combine his power with the others. I wonder if he is the cautious clever type. |
TheGilgamesh said: Raziel1991 said: So being powerful equals to being like Kirito?Sigh. This is getting ridiculous. Be too powerful and not have personality it`s synonymous of ``Kirito´´ . Do you think that Kirito has any type of personality? He`s as plane as Inaho . Characters with 0 charisma You have no idea what charisma even is |
PancakesAndStuff said: I find him the most interesting. Inaho being OP and somehow beating the "villian of the week" every time is just anti-climatic, and now that he's starting "smooth talk" like Kirito from SAO, it's starting to feel cringeworthy (ofc that's subjective). I'd much rather follow Slaine's story than follow Inaho's mundane formulaic path. Finding Slaine more intersting is fine, but don't come up with BS towards the other character to justify your reasoning. there were 4 mechs in season 1 containing 12 weeks worth of episodes. there have been a total of 3 mechs introduced (besides Slaines) in now 7 episodes and the tactics have completely changed. Do math right, that isn't even a new villian ever 2 weeks. Faulty criticism at it's finest. "smooth talk" like kirito? What are you even talking about, Inaho hasn't smooth talked anyone, unless you consider lengthy monologues on physics/tactics smooth talking now. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: No the stupid part is why can't we hate the Antagonist even if he is interesting/entertaining and like the Protagonist even if he seems dull TO YOU? Because he is a fictional character and it's useless to get personal feelings towards him, and he is created as a sort of a plot tool anyway? |
deadoptimistFeb 21, 2015 2:01 PM
| Okay, the two things I'm most hoping for the next episode: 1. Count Desert/Music-man fakes loyalty to get close to Slaine, possibly getting the princess out. 2. Big fight where real consequences happen. -- Also, I got the strange feeling that Inko might be the one to die, maybe saving Inaho from something. She might feel bad for distrusting him, or it could simply be the result of her "secret" love. |
