There are two things that are just ruining this second half

Inko and her fanservice and new found tsundere personality

And the whole non-funny interaction of the why you cant get a date chick

Lemrina >>>>>>> Comatose princess in terms of being more interesting and in terms of a character.

Slaine in terms of motivations/goal is a better character than Inaho; he's definitely a flawed character, and seeing those flaws clash with his genuine want to help better the Vers Empire is very interesting.

Now, if only the show was written better.

I find the OP visuals VERY telling:

- Inaho and Princess are facing each other and reaching out to each other. Princess is reaching out back to Inaho.
- Slaine has his back turned to the princess obsessing over the stasis tank. Princess is NOT reaching out and looks visibly either frustrated or angry disturbed.

If anyone had any doubts Princess will shoot Slaine's ass, this pretty much proves that Slaine is down the path of DarthVader/AnakinSkywalker type of villain, most likely with Lemrina playing huge part in that falldown.


Agreed.

But I wish they fleshed out the relationship between Inaho and Seylum in SS1 better.

They had like zero chemistry between them, lol... (uhm, maybe a little, idk, I just don't see that)

This show is so bad, yet I keep watching because it's so funny. Apparently the martians have an army now, one which was hilariously absent when they were invading earth. Of course everyone misses their shots but lord inaho, dude is the tatsuya of mecha. Oh yeah! and they got into space despite in season one the entire planet being surrounded by orbital fortresses! Will keep watching for the comedy.


They've always had an army. They landed all over the world. It's obvious you didn't pay attention in season 1 but complain about stuff that was already explained. Troll score 0/10. Try again.

She's not a yandere, she's simply jealous with possibly an inferiority complex. She's an illegitimate child with who's never been given any real attention and never had any thing to aspire to become, because of the circumstances of her birth, which makes sense given the Vers society. Her sister is the one everyone gave any sort of damn about, and even her grandfather can't tell when it's her talking to him (tho, maybe that says more about how stupid he is...). Now, because the other sources of Aldnoah are in decline, they need her, but it's even more insulting because she has to wear the mask of sister in the public, and has to be kept a secret. It's all about her sister. The same sister who didn't seem to give a damn about her people. Well clearly she's had enough of playing second fiddle to someone she doesn't respect, and she wants to give meaning to her life; even if that meaning will always be a shallow reminder that she is second fiddle.

They want her to be her sister, well she's going to become everything her is, and more, and maybe she'll be seen as something/one of real value.

That's my take on her.

Slaine is a guy who was abandoned by his father in a land where he was hated simply for where he was born, and treated as trash. The princess was probably the only reason he wasn't killed for possibly being a spy, or put in jail, and thus it only makes sense that he'd fall for the girl who was the only person who actually gave a damn about him. However, he's also a good person at heart, which is why, despite being treated as a third class citizen for most of his time there, he sympathizes with Saazbaum's ambition and wants to help the people of Mars. Still this episode shows that he still doesn't feel right killing humans, and that he knows that the princess will be displeased with him doing so. The finale to S1 was his two conflicting aspirations, the princess and Saazbaum's plan, clashing.

That's my take on Slaine.

Both Slaine and Lemrine are more interesting, and better, characters due to both their flaws and their goals.

Despite him being flawless, and that annoying me, I'm okay with Inaho. It's the princess's ridiculous character that pisses me off.

That was a good episode, much better than the first episode. Inaho x Inko? I ship it.

I had a feeling the new princess was Asseylum's sister. I feel like she will end up being killed off sooner or later...

The mecha battle was awesome, I'm honestly hoping Inaho kicks Slaine's ass but it seems as if Slaine and Inaho are at the same level at the moment.

Sorry potato but if you keep up your current style you're not gonna be "itching any ditches" anytime soon if ya know what I mean.

Except Asseylum did NOTHING to her. She's taking out her frustration on an innocent person. Just like how the asshole martians are taking out their anger on Innocent Earth for the fact that they were idiots who thought Aldnoah would allow them to live on Mars without problems

A fine episode after that horrible starter for this season. I was entertained thorough, and I think that's what is most important in a mecha anime such as AZ. Now that they retconned Inaho, they can at least build a fun rivalry between him and Slaine.

Slaine is already taking advantage of the substitute princess, who also seem to have bad intentions, these two deserve each other

I hope the princess Asseylum will not be long for desperar, so things will be even more lively

What are you talking about? What Lemrina do to Asseylum again? Oh yeah, nothing. It was Asseylum's business that dragged her into this war. Lemrina is now going to "take" Slaine, as well as Asseylum's position, because she's tired of being worthless. Again, she is doing nothing to her sister.

Also, the Martians only hate Earth because they were brainwashed via propaganda by the royal family. They are poor, and their resources are dwindling, and in order to not get the blame for that the royal family steered their justified unhappiness wrongly towards Earth. Saazbaum understands this, and hates the royal family for doing what they did, but also understands that 10-15 years of hate won't be erased by merely calling a truce, so he will use the Martian's already established hate of Earth to his advantage to take it over and help his people.

She's not pure? You say it like it's a bad thing. Flawed characters are almost always the better characters.

Also, they've already forced her to take her sister's role, so Lemrina might as well become Asseylum.
