I'm pretty sure they're dead. I mean, that was a headshot. You're not walking away from that.So unless they do an asspull (Slaine missed or something, despite shooting at point blank), I don't really think we'll be seeing them in the next season. And besides, having an unpredictable plot is a lot more fun than a linear one. I'm actually quite excited to see what they'll do next. I just hope that they don't fuck up. Headshots have high mortality rates yes but you cant be sure about it right now with this open ending. |
| Tears everywhere... Slaine you idiot !!! Why did Inaho have to die ? :((( No I dont wanna accept such an ending. Who will be the MC in January now ? Baka Slaine ?? |
Tommk said: Keten said: Take your pick. 1. Inaho died and it proved that there was absolutely nothing to his character besides being a stoic guy with OP intelligence. 2. Inaho survives because of an asspull and the whole scene was done for nothing but making a cliffhanger. Those are the only 2 options. Both are bad. Unless you have another idea for what happened. 3. Timeskip to the future, different new characters. This season was just a backstory on how this war begin. You will never know. Ohhh fuck no. Just, seriously, NO. |

Inaho would still have died in that case without being given any backdrop or even a reason for being the way he is and it would just be done as a cliffhanger. Also it would make this first half of the anime completely pointless... which it already kinda is. |
Caneleo said: Despite what everyone's saying, I don't think either Inaho or the princess are dead. Yeah they were shot, big deal. I mean the princess has already "died" twice... And killing the main character is a bit too unrealistic(in anime terms), even for urobuchi(he did write the entire story plot by the way even if he only write the script till episode 3) All in all, it was a good season, despite the lack of action in episode 8/9/10 and I'm really hoping January comes quickly... The guy loves to murder his characters you know. I don't think that he's really hesitant to kill an MC or two. |

| I'm in despair! The ending to this anime left me in despair! My opinion of the probability of being dead: Inaho - 95% Saazbaum - 75% Princess - 50% Anyone wondering about how did Slaine activate Tharsis' Aldnoah drive? Could it be that he is Martian? Or his father discovered a way to transfer the Aldnoah factor to his son? |

That was just payback from Slaine. Inaho took down Slaine for not answering his questions, and Slaine took down Inaho for not staying away from the princess. Slaine owed him one. Slaine is still a retard for saving Sazbaum and getting the princess killed. Go one try and bail him out of that one |
| Well that was definitely not what I was expecting! I thought super Inaho was going to save the day and beat all baddies in superstoic style. Definitely surprised. I wonder how they'll do things after this. Both Inaho and the Princess dead? Are we getting new MC's? Slaine, man....LOL...I knew he had zhit for brains, but this took the cake. What did he expect Saazbaum would do with the princess? Give her a foot rub? What an imbecile. |

Tommk said: Oh yeah. Option 1 would be great. Shows that not all main character have fucking plot armor *cough*eren*cough* Killing off characters is fine but you have to make the viewer care about them first. Without any backdrop or personality in general, I don't care that he died. He already had plot armor anyway, him dying later doesn't change that. |
| ... oh yeah. I forgot about all those mechs that they never fought but were shown in the first or second episode. I guess they'll have to put Inaho's brain in a computer so it can solve "How to kill this mech" problems. |
clash45 said: Can't believe people still believe that both slain and the princess are still alive. Both took head shots, if anything slaine will turn Mr Freeze and contain her body in some freezer but that's a 50 percent chance. Inaho for sure is dead. Hey don't steal my idea! 21q said: Can someone help me understand why Slaine saved the count? The person who plotted to kill the princess? This makes NO sense to me!! And why, apparently, kill inaho? THe person who kept the princess alive?? Like seriously I was enjoying it up until then. Now im just like Wtf?? Because he's a moron with an unhealthy obsession that blinds him to anything else around him |
| I hate Slaine so much.. can't believe he killed Inaho instead of Saazbaum. Season 2 is gonna suck without Inaho. |
| After this episode this anime goes from 10 to 1 for me . Ultra bad ending killing the one who kept all alive .. and the princess there is no reason for me to watch this anime anymore Inaho was my fav character I hate Slaine |

SwimmingBird said: And for those saying Asseylum is alive, it seems you didn't notice it was a HEADSHOT. That doesn't mean anything. The bigger problem with her getting shot in the head was the fact that we didn't see any medical facilities around... unless Slaine already knew where they were on the Landing Castle, and he used one of them to make... A GIANT TUBE TO FREEZE HER BODY IN. Or something. Or her brain is splattered all over the inside of that hood, and she's a nice corpse. |

Anyways, ''make the viewers care about them'' gag has been going for so damn long. Sick of those drama shit. I don't really care on that nor character died without developing. I feel like I watched this series for its animation, fights, strategies, music, plot setting. Didn't really care much on the characters tbh. Maybe thats why I enjoyed the series ? |

y123y said: Darklight0303 said: Slaine is still a retard for saving Sazbaum and getting the princess killed. Go one try and bail him out of that one Because of Inaho's questions, Slaine got tortured. Slaine can care less about Inaho. Of course, it was extremely unfortunate that the Count had to do that. I thought he didnt hate the princess. And I gotta say, at first I thought it was Marito who shot the princess. but nvm. That doesn't excuse saving Sazbaum who made it clear he will stop at nothing to kill the princess. Try again |
| Well, if they're listed as main characters again then they're mostly likely alive, but we'll just have to wait. |

  |
| Slain is now my top most hated character, hes so obsessed with the princess but turns gay with towards Saazbaum and cant even kill him who killed his princess.. cant even picture out what was going on but kill the guy who save the princess.. dafuq with this dude, I seriously dont want to see him in s2.. well at least Inko is alive and Onee-sama.. |

YES IM LOOKING AT YOU MARITO) |
| (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ Fuck you, Slaine. You deserve another season of suffering. So much for the main characters' plot armor. Looks like they got shot fatally for real this time. I can't believe this show. |
 |
| What if the last 12 episodes were just Slaine’s tragic backstory? I mean. He’s pretty well set up to go on and do…stuff… in the second half. He’s got his own sparkly awesome mecha, he might have royal blood, who knows?! The point is…maybe. |

THe person who kept the princess alive?? Like seriously I was enjoying it up until then. Now im just like Wtf?? cause slaine last time believed he is saved by saazbaum? he is not a coldblood like inaho he is a normal boy unlike inaho who got military school. he kills inaho cause inaho point his gun to slaine since slaine dun want the same thing happen again he shoot him so many gun shot in 5 minutes inaho did not point the gun at him first, he crawled towards asseylum then noticed slaine was pointing the gun at him. only then did inaho pull out his gun |

| I legit cant understand the hate for this show what type of MC do u want sheesh ppl arent happy with a smart bland character, ppl arent happy with a beta character, ppl arent happy with an op character |
| I don't think there was a way to have a non-cliche ending. They could of had a plain old happy everyone lives ending... Boring. They went the kill all the MC's tragic ending... Why? Japan. That's why There was no out for this show having an epic ending. |
| Hmm dunno if ill watch second season if Inaho is dead since no one else that has been seen on the show will make a good main lead. If Slaine is the main character next season i think i will fall asleep due to boredom. Regardless if you hate or like Slaine he's just a crappy character. You gotta be pretty stupid to do 99.99% of the things he does. I'm pretty sure a 10 year old could do a better job at making decisions. |

Slaine owed him one. Slaine is still a retard for saving Sazbaum and getting the princess killed. Go one try and bail him out of that one That just shows that Slaine is not a 1 dimentional character, he has it's ups and downs. He at least feels like a character. And why people are making such a fuss after that emotionless doll was shot? I felt exactly how I would feel if a doll was shot. Which what happened. |
 |
| +1 to Slaine. All the characters sucked so I really couldn't be bothered about them. All I can say was that Slaine was the best character, also a fool but this series was foolish to begin with. 8/10 entertainment value |
"Hi!" |
