Stop son I dun wan to see Slaine to suffer anymore Just let him and this show rot in the deep of abyss |

| Worst ending to an anime since technolyze for me, and i've seen some pretty horrid anime. I guess i should be thankful, as it made me think back on the series and showed me how terrible it was in hindsight. This has been a terrible anime season, most of the good ones are still ongoing or have a second season coming. |
| Okay, so overall it seems that the consensus is that the ending was pretty bad. I will say that the art, battles, and music for the anime were pretty good. The art was definitely an improvement from the first season. However, a lot of the characters seemed to be like NPC from games. They all had potential to be well written with good character development, but nope. They all just fell flat and in the end I kind of forgot that half of them existed. They never even gave closure on half of them, an obvious one being Princess Lemrina. In fact there were a lot of questions left unanswered in the end. I mean Dr. Troyard seemed to disappear and was suddenly brought up again in the very end. ????? Now that raises even more questions. In the end no one of "significance" died. Slaine is left to rot in prison, Inaho rides away in a car, and the Asseylum gets to see the birds while accepting Slaine as a scapegoat with Cruhteo Jr. Truly a disappointing end to series that had so much potential. I love Slaine (I have a soft spot for characters like him) and I would join any revolution defending his name to the death carrying around a sign saying, "Slaine did nothing wrong" and "Save Slaine from these Lies". So I really hate to say this, but this is what I think should have happened. Personally, I think Slaine should have died in the end. Sure, I would have thrashed around and cried for a while, but it would have at least saved us from now knowing that he is left in prison. I mean c'mon Inaho. "Please save Slaine from these chains of misery" YEP. HE COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT. Save him from the chains of misery? Yeah, look at Slaine now.... He's in actual chains. Good going Inaho. Slaine now has to live with all this guilt. Slaine even tried to die at least two times in this episode alone. He was well aware of what he did. But yep! In the end. No one died and pretty much everyone was left disappointed. |
Savethebestforu said: It's also funny to mention that Asseylum indirectly caused Slaine so much more suffering than he was going to get by telling Inaho to save him. Taken off of reddit: They kept him as the scapegoat since ep 1 of season 1. I mean honestly they are extremely cruel. They left him NOTHING(no friends, family, allies). and the blamed him for EVERYTHING since season 1. He also failed in all of his plans ever and wont let him die. He never had a happy ending in store but i hoped he could get some relief. nope apparently he needed to fail to commit suicide thanks to the princess and our protagonist. Makes this exchange even more poignant, seeing as she was the one who got Inaho to spare Slaine. Asseylum: I do not need a reason to save someone. Lemrina: Such arrogance...the suffering of those you save never enters your mind, does it? Save Slaine from the chains of misery = Blame him for everything and put him in prison for the rest of his life? Yeah, the guy got it bad. But fine, we knew he was going to fall, but why couldn't they allow him to go down in style? The stuff we saw is the kind of emotional porn people are ashamed to put into rape fanfics made purely for fapping (sorry, but I wanted to underline the low level). |

We may end up with a new meme of "Slaine just got Slained" Poor Slaine haters. It's like they don't see that Slaine being imprisoned is foreshadowing to him coming back for the next season. Wishful thinking and nothing more. Even if he does come back what would he bring to the table. Tharsis is gone so he's lost that edge. His competence in strategy and tactics loses by default to Inaho. SO what exactly do you think he could do? Hell even his connections are shot to hell because A he was revealed to be the liar that he was and B he's supposedly dead to the rest of the world. |
| From what I am seeing most of the people who are hating this show are those who wanted Slaine to somehow win and subjugate Earth even though it was obvious from the very beginning that would not happen. |
 |
| "Live. ;)" "WHYYYYY ;_______;" "Cuz lol I want to see you suffer." Great show. |

Where are you getting that idea? And why was it clear that it would never happen? Because this show has predictable writing? |
 |
| The only good thing was the music and Slaine. Disgusting at how a BARRAGE of lasers by better and more skilled soldiers didn't even hit. Disgusting. |

If the writer had read anything besides shitty porn, this'd go like this: the remaining knights would've decided they don't want to share aldnoah and will prepare a new coup with Lemrina for the engine. They'd free Slaine, cause, despite what you think, he is a fine leader and he would be terribly angry once let out. And they'd prepare an army using the resources of Earth. Could've also get some supporters on Mars among those who don't like the shit Asseylum does or Klancain's clan. They'd try to assassinate Asseylum again, Slaine (if the writers are good) would want to obliterate his ex, Lemrina would admire the beauty of death. ichii_1 said: The only good thing was the music and Slaine.

Yeah, I'd like them to explain why trained soldiers, who live in space and don't have anything to do but prepare for war and train are so ineffective against a buch of schoolkids on a stolen ship. |
| Like professor x vs magento playing chess lol |
 |
| So bad, so bad... The first season was okay despite quite a few issues, but this was just a trainwreck. 3/10 |

Everyone is coming back next season, and what they bring to the table will be just as contrived as what they brought to the table these last two seasons. |
skudoops said: ZingFreelancer said: This all coming from a guy who gave Gundam 00 a 5 and called it a Code Geass rip off. You should work that stick out of yar ass, it is making you a bad person. I'm just calling it like I see it, and yes Gundam 00 is average. Also slaine's fake death.. code geass spoiler below. I also love how they conveniently wrote in Saazbuum JR and then wrote back in the Emperor after being non existent for plot convenience, kinda funny. Well, from my point of view, which I remind you is pretty personal. I think if you gave Gundam 00 a fiver, then AZ deserves at least -15. I don't think you can compare Slain to Lelouch, if only for a fact that Lelouch conquered all of Earth and became it's sole ruler, if only for a very short period of time. |

sojou said: Inaho had no chance with the princess unless they killed off Inko. Damn gits should've at least resolved that by putting Inaho and Inko together in the end... Honestly they should have never hinted at romantic feelings between asseylum and inaho in the first place if this was the path they were going to take, it would have made the whole situation less idiotic imo (i didn't care so much about it, i was shipping inaho and rayet personally but that sunk in S1), this was a trainwreck of a last few episodes, it seems like they crammed another season's worth of story into 3 episodes. Raziel1991 said: From what I am seeing most of the people who are hating this show are those who wanted Slaine to somehow win and subjugate Earth even though it was obvious from the very beginning that would not happen. Not me, i wanted slaine to die for his actions, the fact that they took this route just angered me and made me reflect on the anime as a whole. |
Raziel1991 said: From what I am seeing most of the people who are hating this show are those who wanted Slaine to somehow win and subjugate Earth even though it was obvious from the very beginning that would not happen. No dude. I hated this show because: 1) The Mc is a robot and gary stu. 2) The suposed villain was a shitty one, and in the end was blamed for everything for plot convenience. 3) The princess married a random guy that was introduced 2 episodes ago 4) What the fuck happened with Lemrinia? 5) Perhaps will get a third season. pls no. 6) The rest of the cast was useless. |

You still didn't answer what Slain could possibly do if he came back. Combat wise and strategy and tactics he loses completely to INaho. So what exactly would you have him do? |
| This ending is awful....I'm really disappointed. |

He has the necessary chcrisma, which is proven by the sacrifice of a huge amount of people in his name in this episode. |

All that is very bad writing seeing as we saw that he held the respect of almost the entire army, for both is combat skills and his leadership. Let's also not forget that he was still carrying out Saaz's will, of which it's implied many other knights agreed with. So yeah, he's coming back. This show is too predictable. There's also the fact that his face is on that countdown thing. |
| Now that this is over, can I ask where Inaho's development was? Like...why was he a main character? I really can't understand how people could tolerate any fighting/dialogue scene involving him. |

Darklight0303 said: Huge amount of people? Lol what? It was a squad. That's not huge amount of people. Can you find a squad of people ready to die for you? And all those who were under his command went into a battle. Even a count was swayed by his sacrifice, despite having a reason to hate him and all of us had thought he was in it for his own gain. All others were elsewhere and under commands of other knights. Despite that we know that they continued to occupy Earth and during the battle they didn't stop before Sline fell, as the UFE leader says. All Slaine's people went to fight for him - we see that the shuttles are left without cover (stupidly). |
| Animation 5/5 Music 5/5 Seiyuu 4/5 Character 3/5 Plot 3/5 Slaine for me, the best character! But I wanted to either win or died. Really, that damn princess -.- Why? The f*** just... -.- I liked second season, but really it would be better without princess and Inahobot -.- |
    |
| Damnit I wanted Slaine to win |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |

Aldnoah Gemini was there |
heartofthecards said: probably mentioned earlier but too lazy to read 7 pages but... once again...asseylum saves slaine....only to let him suffer. now he's in prison/isolation. xD I hope cruhteo has STDs... Do It Do It Do It |

Neobosco said: Aldnoah Gemini was there I saw that too xD |
| The show went downhill after they changed urobuchis Script. Just why couldnt they stick with it.. |
| Oh, and lastly, I need a good list of the most overused cliches to check if they have got them all. Reversal stand-off scenes, "shoot me right here" scene, the chess in prison scene, lots' of silly crying... Frankly, the two really fresh moments were Lemrina admiring the battle, even though she feels bad for it, and Baroucruz admitting the terrans are good. Also I didn't understand why there were two major crotch and ass shots in the most dramatic of moments (I mean Slaine's crotch walking on the camera and Inaho's ass close-up). |
| What a mess this show is. From extremely boring episodes, to a rushed ending, to plot twists and other things. This episode was one of the few ones I enjoyed, although having Slaine suffer at the end was pointless. He should have been either killed or went missing or something. It's like the writer listened to the trolls who hated on Slaine, although he WAS the one behind Boku No Pico. Also no romances at the end? Please Slaine just kill them all in an OVA or something. |
| Slaine is jailed instead of being executed... I guess Asselyum just married that nameless loser instead of either of the main characters, lol. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Slaine, my babe <3 |

Neobosco said: Aldnoah Gemini was there A side story? Can you write a bit what's it about and how it is connected with the main one in a spoiler, if it's not too hard? Tienz said: They should have stood firm abandoned inaho and gone with a weird Slaine.A revolution of the proletariat on Mars had such promise. A high five on this from me. Revolutions are fun in fiction. |
