Marzan said: Surprise, surprise, surprise. Who saves the princess with his encyclopedic knowledge and absolute mastery of every situation conceivable? Inaho the Maginificent. This season really has flawless MC's front and center, doesn't it? Before this show is over, he'll probably create an Aldnoah drive with an empty can and a 9V battery and cure cancer while he's at it. LOL. So true. |
SolviteSekai said: zerriet said: I cannot disagree with you there, however i do hope they flesh out his character more in the second cour. Where has a second cour been announced? If your character is a complete nobody until 13 episodes in, your show is poorly written. The people defending inaho probably just self insert their bland personality onto his. It was quoted on the wiki that the show will be split into 2 cours, which is actually a good thing considering that they will definitely not be able to finish anything in 12 episodes. Furthermore, I won't call the writing in this show exceptional, but it is not terrible. Just really average since the side characters end up being more interesting than the MC. Thus what i do hope is that Inaho's character enters a second dimension since it is better late than never |

| I just realized what if Mouth to mouth contact can transfer Aldnoah (See: not!Lambda) drive ability? Interesting that they keep showing us Princess saving Slaine as if to say, "REMEMBER THIS" and then they emphasized the mouth-to-mouth part and basically had the captain say this wasn't fanservice. It just seems rather suspicious. |
| Oh ok, Inaho doesn't care if you're Terran or Martian just as long as you're a girl. I mean, fuck that "martian" that saved his life, he totally deserved to be shot down. The princesses revival is dumb as fuck, fake death used for the first kiss. Inaho fgt git rekt. |

SolviteSekai said: Kuro_Kishi said: can someone just die already, to spice things up Urobuchi exists so people like you can be happy and live freely. I'm never really fond of Urobuchi style, especially the way he kill off characters just to provide shock factor But this show is just getting duller and duller, it really needs something spice things up, and with only 2 episode left, killing a major character might be the quickest way |

And killing characters is a lame cheap way to create excitement. |
skudoops said: One more thing, how did the rumour that they had the princess and they also had the flying ship come about? One of the captains just happened to know about this, but how? There hasn't been any communications with anyone and they were flying over the sea for the most part.. Well, they were flying an aldnoah (cgi) ship so it was like, one of two options. |
| The user submitted wiki has spoken.[/quote] Well unless you suppose that users are lying then i can't really argue against it. But anyways, i made a mistake, its a split-cour show so there will be a break in between the seasons |

| Sword in hand, a warrior clutches stone to breast. In sword etched he his fading memories In stone, his tempered skill By sword attested, by stone revealed. Their tale can now be told |
| Decent episode yet again. This show keeps just barely living up to my lowly expectations, and because of that I actually somewhat enjoy these episodes. Now I'll just have to hope for a nice action filled ending since that's what this show can do the best. I'm all for a second season. |
 |
| Good episode. Like we all expected, the princess stays alive. 2 more episodes till the end of this first season, probably going to be a cliffhanger to get us excited for season 2 T-T. |

Shouyou-Kun said: Does it really surprise you that people are, yet again, hating on the character in this role? It's Suzaku all over again, haha. People are just. Blah.i don't like how people are hating on Slaine, he deserves 100% more screentime and character development |
| remaking my signature! lol I never actually ended up remaking it, oop. ; ; |

| I knew she wasn't gonna die.. I mean if she did I would have applauded the show for that because that would have been incredibly ballsy and would have been a perfect segway into maybe finally making Inaho crack and show some emotion before the second half but that's some wishful thinking.. God, I'm really getting sick of Inaho.. Don't get me wrong I really like this series but Jesus Inaho please show SOME personality. Seriously he must have witnessed his entire family be tortured and then forced to watch them die as a child in order to act this lifeless, which wouldn't even make sense because his sister is as happy as hell all the time. Earth is under attack by martians: -__- Giant alien mech is about to kill you: -__- Girl you kind of like is laying lifeless on ground: -__- Performing CPR on girl you kind of like: - O - Having a gun pointed at you: -__- Yeah, I'll admit that he has been getting more characterization in the last few eps but I mean i think it's to late to start making me care about this character. Slain ftw I don't understand why he's getting so much hate. He's one of the more interesting protagonists along with Marito (let alone a billion times more interesting that inaho). Anyways he better end up with the princess in the end just imagining inaho and seylum on a date is cringe worthyy auugh also keep Rayet in prison pls. |

The best anime is the Road to El Dorado |
| Finally, a character development episode. I loved Saazbaum's backstory and the main backstory of why Heaven's Fall occurred. But it's weird, cause this show is apparently 2 cours, but it feels like it could end in the next 2 episodes. I wonder what the next season will be about then. |
 |
| Well after last week it seems I was wrong about a few things. Seylum was indeed dead. Myself, like a lot of people thought she was just unconscious. Nope. She was legally dead. Didn't think we'd ever see the Tartaris. Turns out Slaine will pilot it. ------------------------- So Lt. Marito basically summed up Rayet's terrible character pretty well: "a martian, who's father was a martian, who tried to kill another martian, who was then killed by another martian. Then she being a martian, tries to kill another martian. Rayet didn't off herself unfortunately. So...I wonder if there's any chance that Orlene or whatever her name is, is Inaho's mom. I don't wanna say that Saazbaum is the father, but assuming that Orlene is his mom, I think that right after Heaven's Fall she met a Terran and had kids with him. But who knows, maybe Saazbaum is the father. She didn't look pregnant at all though. Also I thought that Orlene looked a lot more like Yuki than Inaho. Guess we'll see what happens in these last 2 episodes. |

This season really has flawless MC's front and center, doesn't it? Before this show is over, he'll probably create an Aldnoah drive with an empty can and a 9V battery and cure cancer while he's at it. This made me laugh so hard. Regarding the episode,average and quite predictable as always. At least the animation is not bad. lol, that was indeed funny. And sadly true. Inaho is just horrible and annoying. Whenever he's on screen he easily outshines everyone else and makes them seem incompetent in comparison. His calm and calculating demeanor only makes it worse, imo. Only took Saazbaum two episodes to become more likable 99% of the other characters. |
| Well the final invasion of Earth is about to take place in Russia. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Hmm more character interactions which is always welcome. Inaho seemed worried about mahou shoujou princess, and then he goes tsundere (well not exactly) after saving her life. He seems really interested in the Aldnoah drive thing, is he plotting to take over Vers? Interesting.. Will Slaine fight with or against Saazbaum? Hmmm... It is pretty much guaranteed that if he takes the Tharsis and tries to join Earth they would only see him as an enemy, but Saazbaum wants to kill the princess. I hope we don't get another case of extreme plot armor for him if he decides to join Earth, or if he joins Saazbaum his reasons are convincing. wasn't too bad 4/5 |

| >Inaho is Saazbum's child. >Proceeds to exterminate Terrans with his newfound papa. That's the plot twist I'm waiting for. |
| Between the adult world and the world of kids, there, Holyland exists. |
slovak125 said: >Inaho is Saazbum's child. >Proceeds to exterminate Terrans with his newfound papa. That's the plot twist I'm waiting for. Yuki-nee still has to die before that happens. He clearly cares about her |
| Also it isn't explicitly shown who is Asseylum aiming gun at. How did the majority get the idea that it's Slaine? It could easily be Inaho who has fallen to the dark side and is working now with his papa Count Vader . Called this first! |
| Between the adult world and the world of kids, there, Holyland exists. |
| I really don't know what should I feel in this episode. Maybe because of the characters? Stark700 said: Yup, saved.  If Slaine saw this... I don't even know. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
Keten said: I agree with many things you said, but especially this statement! What is the scriptwriter thinking? Bullshit.Also want to add that Inaho trusting Rayet after she literally strangled her makes no sense because he shot down Slaine after he helped them defeat a knight. Inconsistent |
slovak125 said: Also it isn't explicitly shown who is Asseylum aiming gun at. How did the majority get the idea that it's Slaine? Well, this show has basically been about how Slaine gets screwed all the time up till now. It's not that much of a stretch to assume anything will change anytime soon. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

I will be so sad if this scene come to life. Being Slaine is suffering. |

| my father and his buddys tried to kill u and then they betrayed him , therefore ill kill u. fuck logic the flaws in this anime are over 9000 |
wigglejelly said: damn the princess didn't stay dead. As long as she was the power of the ship there was NO way she was dying. Anyone who thought otherwise was being ignorant |
Darklight0303 said: wigglejelly said: damn the princess didn't stay dead. As long as she was the power of the ship there was NO way she was dying. Anyone who thought otherwise was being ignorant Ugh, why so hard? I don't think ignorant is the correct word. Maybe ingenuou. |

Maryruss said: Darklight0303 said: As long as she was the power of the ship there was NO way she was dying. Anyone who thought otherwise was being ignorant Ugh, why so hard? I don't think ignorant is the correct word. Maybe ingenuou. Because without that ship nothing can progress. Especially given its connection to the kataphract of Sazbaum's fiancee. If that ship crashed for good then Martians just roflstomp EVERYTHING and they die in the tundra. Is it so hard to understand simple logic. |
| She survived that sneak attack huh. Thanks to Inaho and his lifesaving mouth-to-mouth. My guess is, Orlane is Inaho's mother. If that's true, then I'll have no more regrets about watching this at all. Now for the main event next episode - war. |
