So they take a break for a week from Inaho and Slaine being awesomely awesome in combat situations while everyone else fails miserably. So what. Honestly I found some of the better episodes of the first season were the ones where they actually took some time to have the characters talk to each other a bit and reflect over some things. It's something this show sorely needs a lot of them time is marginally more developed characters. Too bad with the time constraints it gave itself in being 12+12 episodes it'll probably be among the last times it has a chance for this sort of thing. I pretty much would expect one more dialogue heavy episode, probably next week and then all action straight till whatever end they manage to come up with.

+1

Although tbf for those that come back every week to say what a trainwreck this series is, the action scenes may be the only thing that's worthwhile to watch.


Don't get me wrong here, I just stopped taking the show particularly seriously a long long time ago when it become fundamentally clear what the formula is and what the rules of engagement are and who is allowed to succeed at any task that comes their way. It is what it is even if a lot of people just seem to have a hard time realizing it and accepting that and are prone to rage and petulantly arguing over who is the better character or not between Slaine an Inaho when they're pretty much in the same boat writing wise this season anyway while somehow still not realizing the obvious things about how the show and cast is written. Things like having any sort of expectation that Slaine might lose his duel next week don't make any sense whatsoever too. Like what of anything that has happened in this show to date would lead one to believe that Slaine is allowed to lose to anyone other than Inaho in anything. Also that guy being a complete goof like most of the Vers Knight jobber characters...like sorry but I'll be surprised if that battle takes any longer than a minute and isn't just a showcase for how how awesomely awesome Slaine and the Tharsis are to re-establish for the umpteenth time that this guy is now King Shit of the Martian side and the only hope anyone has against him is Inaho who is King Shit of the Earth side. That's what this whole interstellar conflict has come down ultimately is the inevitable duel between Inaho and Slaine with every other character pretty much left as pawns who can't do anything other than be used and guided by them or killed off. If people haven't realized that yet this late in the game than I doubt they ever will.

Anyway all I was saying is on occasion at least the show somewhat tries as far as character drama scenes go (in the sense that every 5 or so episode such scenes will exist) in-between the usual reliance on action set pieces to keep the sugar rush kids hyped up. There's nothing revolutionary about it or the way it handles it compared to your average mecha series, but considering how little character development this show gets and how stock it is on the plot point of Inaho vs. Slaine for all the marbles above all else, when it does happen it really tends to stand out if not necessarily for the right reasons.

So yeah anyway if people want to bicker over Inaho and Slaine some more by all means, I just personally see them as more or less fulfilling the same one note roles at this point.

To all you Slaine haters: shut up. The kid has been through more trauma than any character. Give him a fucking break. That bird cage scene...yeah no. he has his faults but no one ever tries to help him.

Inaho on the other hand is way to OP. Wtf man. I will never truly like this kid. It's partially his fault Slaine is becoming so twisted.

These two idiot characters shouldve made friends long time ago. Instead theyre being dumbasses.

Rayet needs to die. She's beyond annoying.


Real suffering was Leon Garo
the misfortunes and sufferings Leon now, are infinitely greater than Slaine.
Leon is just... suffering. Loses he mother, His father is a bum who spends money on prostitutes, and stole married women had no home, loses his armor, tried to suicide,
Leon despite all the misfortunes and having lost everything, was man enough, recognizing their mistakes, apologizing, and reconhecedo their weaknesses and failures.

totally unlike Slaine, who always had the attention and treatment especias princess, unlike other soldiers, Slaine, who did all wrong, not admitted his guilt, had power-ups, ability to unexplained pilitagen, won a super mecha, a title gentleman given by Saazbaum killed Saazbaum the man who has always been honest with him about his intentions, winning a title of Count. Everything in greater softness in the typical cliche power-ups.
Have Leon Leon already acknowledged their mistakes, apologized, admitted his faults,found a reason to live and a new family, lost everything again, and his new family and his love, murdered by a horror.
Leon started again from scratch, without the damn cliches power-ups that had Slaine.

Inaho is OP? what about a machine that can see into the future?

It is Inaho's fault that Slaine is turning out like this? Pretty sure Slaine is turning out like that, because of his twisted obsession with the princess.

Don't tell me when Inaho meant Mazuurk's name sounded like a type of music, he meant Mazurka -_-...

Ah... I bet Mazuurk will find out the truth and die... It was nice seeing a kinda rational and pacifistic count for once, though.

Slaine is obviously gonna kill that count who challenged him...
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

The most amazing is that Inaho and that condem understand the Asseylum cravings while Slaine not.
Inaho is more preucupado with the reform of verse, than Slaine that is preucupado in Asseylum mater in an induced coma.
The stranger the more fanboy Slaine fantasize things, more anime proof to the contrary.
All the fanboy Slainem preach, every episode is denied, and the anime proves the contrary

Leon from Garo actually has a functional character arc that makes sense in show as well as a functional and developed supporting cast around him (like German, Aflonso and Emma) to interact with and learn things from as opposed to just look down and be propped up by like Inaho and Slaine are with their supporting cast. His character arc as Garo clearly isn't just made up on the fly and filled with tons of holes or unclarified information that may or may not be explained in the manga that came with the shows second volume ala Slaine. There's very little about Slaine's character and role in the show that feels natural to me in terms of how he's emerged as the main antagonist, it just seems like they decided that this season he will fill that role and finagled the script that way in order to achieve it. Waste of a character in Sauzbaum, but then Cruhteo was a waste of a character as was Marito for the Earth side and pretty much every adult character whose potential was sacrificed by this show in order to just become plot devices to show over and over again how awesome Inaho and Slaine are. Like if you're any character in this show other than those too you might as well not even really matter except for fan service or as a plot device.

Also just so this is clear, both Inaho and Slaine are equally poorly handled lead characters as is pretty much the whole cast in this show. IMO this is just not how you are supposed to run a show where the supporting cast at large is just utterly meaningless past their introductions at best and incapable of doing anything without the two male leads being there to essentially do it for them.

What a pathetic storywriting. Inaho managed to figure out Mazuurek right off the bat and Mazuurek ATTACKED them. But towards Slaine, who just saved him, he acts provocative from the first word, even shoots him down and doesnt even think of recovering him as a hostage to clear the situation. I wont even mention Rayet again. 2/5 for the episode and score down to 4/10 for the show, just because of that. Otherwise the episode and the story they are trying to create look decent. Too bad they had to base it on such a big pile of crap.

Slaine shot first at Inaho. And Slaine gave no reason for him to trust him. If anything from Slaine's behavior in that episode the easiest answer would have been that he is with princess assassins.

I agree with you Slaine, Slaine is completely crazy, keeps the princess caged in a tube because she is beautiful, beautiful development, leaving Yandere 1.0, for a Yandere 3.0
so for once again Slaine spoils the day.
The super Slaine plan is to keep Asseylum sedated and caged in a tube, so for him. And to destroy and kill everyone to, his plan, the caged bird Asseylum, can be execultado.
Not of or to complain about the writing Slaine, is a complete plagiarism of Bizon character Buddy Complex. Not even had work to modify the goals, motivation. a complete plagiarism

And yet all the people saying that happen to be people who don't like Inaho
We live in a world where exposition and character development = Boring/Shit


So we live in a world where exposition and character development automatically means something is good? No. That's Bull-Fucking-Shit. People will like character development and exposition when character development and exposition is done well. Like, say, in Episode 2 of Zankyou no Terror, which as a whole, I wouldn't praise, but the exposition is still done well. Or character development in Hunter x Hunter, where the motives of its characters are mostly believable, and their actions change logically when it needs to.

Your argument is simpleminded, by assuming that what you have said is a valid rebuttal, when A/Z is indeed boring to others. Having character development and exposition does not mean something is good or enjoyable. If I would have judged Pupa based on if it had character development and exposition, than it would have a higher score. But no, I did not. I judged it, taking into account how well, or in this case shitty, the exposition and character development is done.

It is not just the fanboys and haters, but the weak arguments against haters or criticism, the weak motives by haters, and the weak arguments by the critics, that makes MyAnimeList such a big joke to many.

In fighting threatens to tear apart the Vers Knights apart. Not to mention potential traitors and loyalist.

Inaho makes a friend with another Count. It'll be interesting to see how this Count and Inaho get a long though I doubt he'll live for long if he finds out the princess is still alive.

Overall this felt like a transition episode. Not much going on and plenty of small plot development among the many members of the cast.

Well this episode was pretty good episode but character development and exposition are boring to out "Elite" anime watchers. We get more development for Inaho, for Rayet who isn't running away and acknowledges her issues unlike our Dear Slaine-sama inb4 inahowhiteknight or inahocirclejerks and Inaho made a new ally who is a pretty nice guy.

On the other side Slaine got creepier as usual. We get a Char-clone/Red Comet who is an a-hole but he is doing his job pretty well.......nice way to put Slaine in his place. I would like to see Slaine win by skills but obviously Harklight is going to prepare some cheap tricks in advance.

Looks like Inaho is pretty damn confident that the real princess is alive.

Yes, obviously, he read the script.

Not to mention his stupid act of trust and treason when he let that count go. His eye is like plot device now.
"Noone can lie to me, now, deal with it."

Not to mention Inko is also guilty of treason when she covers him not telling anyone that it was him.
I am saying it all again but this earth army really has no discipline whatsoever and I am always wondering how they can even survive.

But I also have to say that I liked this non-battle talking episode that's where this series really shines (well, not anymore in S2 but at least it tries).

Slaine shot first at Inaho. And Slaine gave no reason for him to trust him. If anything from Slaine's behavior in that episode the easiest answer would have been that he is with princess assassins.


The number of times this fact has been pointed out probably exceeds the triple digits right now.


Yea, by you and maybe 2-3 more Inaho diehard fanboys. Just note the approach Inaho had in both those cases. But whatever, this is my opinion.

I love how this has to be explained at least twice in every thread since it happened.


Only twice in every thread? More like in every page. The amount of people who completely misunderstood that part in episode 7 is way too high.........

"We hate inaho cuz #inahoshotslainefirst" is getting old.

That opinion is invalid when it goes against what the show presented. It becomes delusions. Keep bringing out those "diehard fanboys" cards as usual..

Pretty boring and disappointing episode overall on both sides. I actually liked the interrogation scenes with Inaho and the count, but everything else was pretty unnecessary. Did Inaho just free probably the only count Earth has captured? Shouldn't that be the death penalty or something? It really breaks my immersion when he can just do whatever he wants when he feels like it in a military setting. The bird scene was nice as an insight to how far Slaine has fallen. Next episode should be interesting.

At this point, is there really a purpose to the side characters on earth? I feel like they show them for no reason other to remind us that they are still there. Inko is reaching Orihime Inoue levels of saying Inaho 10x every episode. Nina is basically non-existent, and acts like she forgets there is a war going on. Both of them, including the "can't get date" girl worrying about getting fat...Ok, whatever. Marito's main conflict has been dealt with, so I guess he's in the backseat until the final episodes. The commander girl and her assistant are in the show whenever they want to make the "you can't get a date" gag. Calm is a non-entity.

Don't even get me started on Rayet. I loved her character in the beginning, but the way they are making her so dependent on Inaho is pretty dumb. Inaho shouldn't have the answers to everything she is going through. She should have to find the strength to grow herself, and not be "saved" by Inaho. Not to mention basically the only dialogue scenes she gets are "DURRR MARTIANS MUST DIE". She's been a non-character since her attempted murder on Asseylum, and it's pretty infuriating. There is nothing profound about her thinking or her words, she is just serving as...I don't even know? Like, where are they going with her character?

I thought the interrogation scene was a pretty good scene, and I understood why they left him alone with Inaho...but do they not have anyone watching the most valuable prisoner on Earth 24/7? They should have at least 5 soldiers sleeping in the same bed as him.

This was what really got me. I was laughing during this scene, because if Inaho's eye was somehow wrong or the Count changes his mind then Inaho has fucked Earth. The plot must go on, but couldn't have they done it a little better without having Inaho, Rayet, and Inko committing treason?

Slaine not of bad writing or to consider, simply it is a plagiarism of Slaine plagiarism Bizon Gerafil, (Buddy Complex)
Same ideals, the same boring and unhealthy obsession with a woman, same motivations, a complete copy, both are taken by the foolishness of his obsession, and are able to kill and destroy the world for its obsession.
Slaine goal in the anime a ridiculous obsession, over a princesssa, which he kill in an induced coma, as a caged bird, just because it's beautiful, and want only to him.
Stop talking about writing, when her Beloved Slaine, is a complete plagiarism of another character.

Slaine plagiarism Bizon Gerafil, (Buddy Complex), not even the writers of Aldnoah.Zero, bother to copy a character from another anime, also They copied the same goals, the same ideals, the same motivations, the month stupid obsession for a woman.
You to remain silent, if you think this is a sign of development, and good writing

i liked that count the second i saw him. knew he was a decent fellow. overall the episode felt kinda boring, but it sets up something interesting in the future so that's ok


Aye, so kind of like "Calm before the Storm" :)

More and more though, the developer are plotting Inaho to be a tragic hero, almost like Lelouch anyways, I hope it becomes like that. Though the excitement really goes to how Princess Asseylum would reat after she wakes up.

What purpose does this post even serve? You clearly don't actually want to know anything about that show, it's cast or the reasons for the comparison and couldn't even bother with proper sentence structure so why bother making it? I mean the fact that he even pretty much explained it in his post (albeit with equally poor grammatical structure as is the norm on MAL) and you stilled ignored it pretty much confirms it.

Not gonna lie people's complaints against this show have gotten worse and worse that it sounds like people don't even know what proper analysis even is. I mean I have the same people saying there was no character development before complaining this episode when they had character development.

Oh just wait for it someone is going to reply to this saying "but that character development was bad" or some BS along those lines.

Same people who cry out bad writing and their definition to bad writing was "because i find it boring" like there personal preference matters.

They just aren't even really on point or descriptive of things that are happening in the episodes and problems it has. I mean the show does legitimately have glaring problems in terms of storytelling and character portrayal week to week, but most people are stuck making generic copy/paste comments that could apply to just about anything or bickering with each other over the two main characters. It's just so mind numbing stupid and once again follows the seemingly apparent rule nowadays that there's no show that can have legitimate problems and shortcomings on the production end that the fanbase can't somehow find a way to trivialize and fail to reasonably evaluate despite it really not seeming like it would take that much effort really, thus coming across as even more annoying. It's like people just want want to take a couple of minutes to just legitimately think about what they are watching anymore, they'd rather just shitpost and say pointless things on the off chance somebody might find it funny or clever.

This episode did shoot for character development. Whether somebody found it good or not is totally up for them to decide but if you're going to lean one way another in the thread would it REALLY hurt that much to personalize it to some degree with a followup as to why one feels one way or another and make it more interesting for people to read instead of just posting for postings sake? Or has the quality and level of discussion that people are willing to commit to on anime just fallen off that bloody hard?
