Please don't attack Inaho just because he shining then your Slaine. Yes Richter03 "I are be aware why mecha explodededed when he shining more than our Slaine". Jesus Christ......just going to sit back and just watch the chaos play out in this thread for a bit. |

Does that not strike you as more than a little stupid and very convenient for someone like Inaho to just easily exploit. It's not really a matter of daring genius against all odds for Inaho when it's mainly just the Martian mechs having these critical oversights in their design that cause them to instantly become worthless if water and a couple of counter measures are invoked. It just feels kind of cheap and not really all that interesting strategy wise. It's like okay good job there again wunderkind, but it'd be nice to see this guy actual struggle against a mech with no one shot sure kill weakness for once and sweat it out while just barely scraping by in a win. That would certainly be more tense and the sense of accomplishment so much greater, but I guess it's not that kind of show. It just a anime. Insulting users is such pathetic, if you don´t like Inaho is okey, but insulting to people that don´t think the same as you... really get a life. |

| Well, I've always known MAL to be a breeding ground of critics for being nit-picky but I'll join in nonetheless for fun lol. vieri32 said: be moved by a character who does nothing without orders, do not you think a real puppet. Slaine is only popular for you who likes to know weaklings who are acting under orders given by others. I believe its an acquired taste for some people that they'd prefer characters progressing through struggles (eg: Slaine) instead of watching others that triumph seemingly without effort. I'm almost 100% sure that if Inaho were to show emotional signs of him struggling during his fights with the martian mechs, the term 'gary-stu' wouldn't even exist for him anymore. Pretty sure that misconception with gary stu labeling are often misused for characters who simply lack emotions with victories. Vexper said: 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered. Let's design mechs which aren't capable of functioning in water. Dragons Den awaits. Well I agree to some extent but that view is rather flawed itself imo. To be fair, 1) Mars =/= Earth. No sea on their planet. 2) Mechs aren't amphibious, I was under impression that they're like heavy tanks with legs. Same thing goes to terran cataphrapts. 3) It was the martian mech's alnoah drive/ light saber that led to his demise. Though without underwater thrusters, both of their cataphracts would still sink anyway. |
| So we got to see how 5 years ago Slaine arrived in a pod in the Vers Empire and was saved through intense kissing by a loli Seylum. Well, at least his majesty seemed to have a better way of thought and asked that the hostilities stop and inform the UE of this. Poor Slaine keeps getting bashed around by the martians lol. The UE should relinquish all military command to Inaho if they want to win this war, that's just my honest opinion since their officers seem utterly incapable of devising strategies like he does. It looks like the martian with the kataphrakt that uses that plasma sword hasn't learned his lesson yet, he needs his butt kicked some more. It was a good thing that Slaine managed to talk to his majesty... who doesn't look in that good a shape. Inaho... doing as a student what the real officers and veterans can't, and looking cool while doing it all. It was a surprise seeing Rayet be the first one to get to Inaho to retrieve him. Dear lord, I hope that his majesty won't prove to be stupid enough to believe those lies... foolish geezer... I can't wait to see more of Inaho's brilliant military tactics and exploits in the next episodes. |

| seriously who the hell is inaho there has to be a story to it. i like a main character who knows what he is doing but i just find it hard to belive that a student has so much more tactical finesse and superior knowledge to everyone else, especially all the other military trained people there |

| Aside from the bad OST, and cgi, this is looking decent but a bit too bland story wise with the direction they are taking. I hope bringing the princess back to mars won't be the ultimate solution and ending. |
| the frustration is real. but i guess this turn of events is only natural to keep the plot progressing onward. |

| I love the show so far and Slaine is definitely the best developed character out of the three mains. I want to see Inaho get some development soon because he's not really clicking with me and for at least one episode I'd appreciate if the princess would take a hint about letting the empire know of her survival. |

Insulting users is such pathetic, if you don´t like Inaho is okey, but insulting to people that don´t think the same as you... really get a life. Where am I insulting people? Sorry but people are coming out with these one liner posts all the time about how I'm just a hater and putting these simplistic positions in my mouth that I don't really hold. I mean yes I prefer Slaine to Inaho, but it's because I truly find him a more interesting character while Inaho is currently shaping up to be one of the most one dimensional and bland MC's in a mecha anime since Kira Yamato in Gundam Seed Destiny. Just because he doesn't have an OP mech really doesn't excuse the fact that this shows potential is currently being cheapened by everything about the actual fighting and mecha/weapon designs having to be contrived so that Inaho is made to look like this ultimate badass in the most simplistically achievable way possible. The whole tactics thing just really loses it's impact in terms of the whole execution when he never suffers any setbacks or has to make adjustments on the fly that aren't dictated by his own actions. I mean it's not a bad idea, but they're going about it in just about the worst way they possibly could be right now and it's making the fights in the show really boring. Really at this point I'm not entirely unconvinced that this guy couldn't just solo the entire Martian army by himself in a training mech the way they're making it look. Just find a way to drop them all in water, then the problem more or less will solve itself. Basically it's like the law of Gundam Seed Destiny right now where every battle is utterly predictable and lacks any sort of tension or intrigue cause MC in any mech>Martian in "super mech">any Earth mech not piloted by MC or one of his friends. That's pretty much shaping up to be the template for every single fight scene the way things are going. It's cool if some people find this interesting and think it's just the coolest I guess cause it does try to be really flashy with it and the one liners, but I don't really take too kindly to people trying to indicate that it's somehow unreasonable not to just blindly accept this formula and call it exceptional war scenario writing. I'm speaking from experience in this genre here too by the way, this is far from ideal right now. Also if the show didn't try to draw so much attention to how clever it thinks it's attempts at including tactics in the mix and a main character in a trainer mech fighting gimmick bosses are I doubt people would complain as much but this show takes itself absolutely deathly seriously in terms of the conflict and clearly thinks it's being incredibly smart so it raises expectations and thus you get more criticism of that aspect than you probably would otherwise see. Besides I've yet to see a specific reason as to how people might be wrong in being underwhelmed by the combat dynamics in this show so much as people complaining that people have misgivings at all. I mean not everybody is just entirely satisfied by rule of cool stuff all the time. |

But he was forced to heat them up above normal levels to set himself free and they were also blocked near the robot's body by that hug, thus incresing the blast force impact on his own mech even further. If water was a sole weakness there would have been no need to fight him, just blow the ground under him or something similar, lol. Dont spread blind hate pls. Yea, I know that briliant strats without fail from some kid feels like a lame cliche, but hell, I can live with that sole flaw. |

Still a tremendous oversight and a result of the opponent being predictably stupid and doing every single thing that Inaho needs to succeed at the exact right moment same as last episode. Seriously everything is basically contrived around having Inaho win pretty much effortlessly, I don't see how it's really possible to deny this. It just feels like making excuses for weak writing. It's also far from the sole flaw in this show to date, the characters in general aside from Slaine and maybe Marito are all pretty much one dimensional role pluggers and kind of bland at that which makes the conflict not particularly compelling or worth caring about the end result of much. It feels like they really bet long on all the explosions and mayhem in the early episodes to set the tone, but that doesn't pay off when the cast consistently lets the show down after the fact. |

Well, adult commanders only discussing dating strategies during battle... mmm, Id classify that as more than "a bit irrealistic even by anime standards" :D Forget about the small bullshit here and there. Nothing is perfect. But the plot so far has been nothing but refreshing for me and I love it. |

Lets get real here, this IS a real life strategy! |

| I love the fact that every episode thread contains at least 3 pages of discussion about MC-kun, anime-logic and other stuff people dislike and they still don't drop it. |
| I really hope that Slaine eventually switches sides. He could join his own race in stopping its extinction, defend the princess, and not be treated like garbage by everyone around him. Sounds like a triple win to me..... |
 |
| I made the guess in ep 2 that the Vers Empire would use princess Asylum as a pretext for war against UE and I was right. |
| "I only studied a little bit of history and I have learned there are two current thoughts in human history. The opinion that there are things worth more than human life and the opinion that there is nothing preferable to life. When the war begins, it is on the pretext of the former type of people and it justify the latter when the war ends" |

Except they don't, just for whatever reason people who just watch the big hyped mecha anime from the last several years keep thinking that way. Basically this show measures up incredibly well against the genre strawman of the idiot MC in the OP mech cleaving through everyone, but it's just a strawman, not the actual genre in general. That's about it really..... And I keep following the show cause as I keep trying to mention I see potential in Slaine and some of the back story, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not starting to waffle a little on even that aspect of the show. 12 episodes pretty much ensures I'll finish at least the first cour and then it's just a matter of taking it from there.

The show is going to make a habit of Slaine failing completely in everything he attempts to do out of good intentions and possibly having everything backfire in the process as well contrasted with Inaho succeeding in everything he attempts to do out of ???? intentions. Book it. |

Name a few you consider better than this then. At least when you rant about something, give an example of what you think its better. |
| wow, the emperor didn't believe to Slaine and now supports the war cause :c Inaho shows that fisic & chemistry classes are more important than learn and train how use the damn robot XD (really,if you are a common soldier you only thinks shoot to the enemy), and the first ED got back (which I love it x3). |
| Competent MCs are the best |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| Loli Asseylum? |
| “Are there some unseen roles that we have unknowingly set ourselves into, dictating the rules of engagement whenever we see each other, inevitably leading to us hurting each other?” |
| Those martians are completely unlikable (perhaps this was intended). Hopefully in the future it is explained their hatred toward humans (hopefully this isn't racism). My biggest complaint though, is Inaho. Even though he is quite competent, he lacks any emotion. This is getting annoying, especially since he never changes his expression. At least we have Slayne and the princess. |

Book it. Slaine was up against the Big Bad (or maybe that's really his father, dun dun dun!) who profits on schemes in a critical scene while Inaho was up against a stupid mid boss nobody cares about. I don't think that's failing, pretty much showcases Inaho as a plot device for mecha action and little else. Slaine's the one getting the best side of the plot, if you ask me. y123y said: Slain is the only reason why I have not dropped this anime. The position that he is in, now that is truly psychological. WE NEED MORE SLAIN AND LESS MC!!!!! Heck, just make Slain the MC. And once again, the emotionless MC solves everyone's problems. Inaho is the one (and huge) flaw of this anime. y123y said: Slain is the only reason why I have not dropped this anime. The position that he is in, now that is truly psychological.

Well, that wasnt that hard to guess. The traitors knew Trillram wasnt killed by the asteroids, they got the info that Slaine was the only one with him, and all whats left was to come to the conclusion that Slaine got the info that the princess was assasinated by them and killed Trillram in revenge. Now the next move would be to tell the King. And they got to him first telling him the Terrans have spies and one will come and tell him they assasinated the princess. But Slaine also ended up telling him that the princess is alive - now the traitors know that and things will get hot :D |

What bothered me more was that Inaho pulled reactive armor plates out of his ass and why no one else on the ship thought about that. Though I guess that was your point, really. skudoops said: I'm surprised no one but me has issues with the complete 180 in character the Emperor had in this one episode. I felt that was the worst part of the entire thing. I could swallow it a little more easily because I've read the supplementary materials on the show's website... the man is in very ill health (he had to retire in 1997 because of sickness but got put back on the throne in 1999, and it doesn't sound like it was his choice) and probably not thinking straight after he lost his son in 1999 (even if said son was an asshole warmonger) and now he thinks he's lost his granddaughter. |

That's my take on this character anyway. We'll see if I'm right or not soon enough, I guess. |

I think he considered it a needed sacrifice. It remains to be seen how he will act if he learns that she is still alive though. He seems like the kind of guy who goes with the side he thinks will win. |
