Liked the dialogue between Inaho / Inko. Shows that he isn't emotionless despite the stoic appearance. He's deathly scared yet there is no reason to think about dying because if he died he probably wouldn't feel a thing after seeing how other people were annihilated.

If you explained the science of our modern technolgies (Like computers) to a man of the industrial era that lived 200 years ago, do you think he would understand anything he was told? The science of the Aldnoah makes no sense to us, but any attempt to explain it would probably not fix that. Considering how far we have come in less than a hundred years, it's not suprising that technology can advance way beyond of what we understand.

Consider it as an acceptable break from reality. Any attempt to add realism to it would
most likely be tedious, difficult, or confusing for us.


This. I'm tired of this "I don't think that's how science works, I took physics once", because this isn't our universe it's an alternate dimension with different technology. You don't fucking understand it, but that's not necessarily vital to enjoy a show.

Also for anyone still asking, how did he receive the feed from the cameras if nothing can get past the barrier, that was the whole fucking point of them putting him in water. You think he randomly had an opening in his Mech's barrier for no reason? It was very clear that was how he was communicating/receiving camera feed.

Lets just say...
he got... SLAINE!
(⌐■_■)

Yeah, even though the part of having Trillram's mech visible is a problem, I'd be okay with it considering that it was that they probably want show off his design for the audience of the show but actually would only be a shadowy visage of it there. Exposed areas of the mech itself may have light bounce off it exposing some ,though blurred, visual of the mech.

The gripe I do have is that are how primitive its aerial drones are. what about x-ray, infrared, and other rays that has smokescreen piercing wavelengths. Then again, maybe there, it was an advanced smoke tech that is so opaque but can only be seen through a specified range wavelength. That'd be interesting.

Overall amazing tactical episode and very satisfying finish.

lol I knew that wimpy dude would betray the Vers eventually, in b4 him stealing one of the Vers mech and love triangle forming.

Nice tactic although that is one HUGE gap just for receiving camera and communication feed considering the width of the knife and the MC sliced quite a sizable part of the mech's body. It's quite a wonder that none of the thousands bullets fired at it hit that spot but I guess questioning that would be like question why storm troopers never hit their target.

Once again the adults have been inexplicably made to look like fools being upped by an inexperienced high school kids.

I really hope Slaine joins Inaho and co. because then he wouldn't be the Suzaku-rival-type and the Terrans would actually be able to put up a fight against Vers.

Actually if you look back at the past episodes you will notice no one ever got a chance to attack it's behind let alone such a random spot.

The episode seems to be great so far. The animation looks good. The music sounds great. The fighting scenes is awesome especially since Inaho figured out its weakness and launched a successful plan against it. I also hope (and a bit sure) that Inaho will become more and more expressive (lack of facial expressions might be something that he received after a certain event in the past). As for the last scene, Slaine has just "slain" Trilliam. Yeah, you go, Slaine. Shoot the bastard down!

True, it should. But light is somewhat different from the other matter in the sense that it has no mass. Maybe that barrier only absorbs matter that has mass.
Also explains how martian robots are able to fire weapons from it - laser is a light beam weapon after all. And this would also mean that humans only need to equip laser weapons on their craft and martians are toast :D

the princess is still alive.. surprise, surprise.. i wonder why she sided with the terrans though?


Oh, I don't know... this is just a guess, but perhaps it's because the martians tried to assassinate her?

Nah, that's probably just a coincidence.


How would she know that? The ones who tried were terrans after all. How would she know they were traitors?
We will probably know in the next episodes.

On the shipping part - Yuki now has a rival for Marito, eh? If Inaho and Slaine really become rivals for the princess where will Inko be left :D Also, albeit the nice surprise that Calm didnt die this episode, he is still dead man walking for me. So who gets Inko :P
If the anime avoids the triangle cliche for the main characters it will be a huge plus for me. There is no need for that.

They don't know the detailed designs of the cataphract. For all Inaho knew, the cockpit could have been near that opening where he unloaded his rifle into so the fact that the machine slumped could have meant the pilot was dead. It's an oversight but given the circumstances it's not that unlikely

Think Nikoleras still can be seen as a purple mecha is just artistic license, most probably to the characters it's just a black mass but the mecha is properly shown for the audience. Or you just not supposed to think that much about it.

Trillram's mecha is inconvenient if it's in battle individually, but to be fair Count Cruhteo sent Slaine and Trillram there for investigation and capture the area's leader, not to engage in combat. Had the mission was a combat mission the Count would have send proper reinforcement to cover up Nikoleras' weakness. The Martians still have overwhelmed power though, it's going to take a lot of human sacrifices to figure out how to take down the castles and the nobles aren't as stupid as Trillram to expose their weaknesses like that.

Love how all characters properly involved in the fight, even the princess.

that's the point. he get to theorize everything because they survived an encounter, he only managed to logically provide an answer with all the presented clues, not whip something out magically, so wonder why people keep getting this problem that the military should have discovered these things first

well maybe they should have survived a fight and also managed to escape in a tunnel

Code geass is an exception. ''El Classico'' compared to ''new shit''. What do you expect ?

Actually explanation is simpler. Nikoleras absorbs light but Light of Aldnoah makes him look normal. Everytime when Bowlhair activated special power mecha become first black, then usual look returned.

The mech fell head first into the water. The hatch was on the front. He could have swam under the surface and Inaho and gang likely presumed him dead

The princess was awesome and I like how they lured that machine into the ocean in which the machine sucks up mass but can't do so on water. Nice. These kids got some brains.

Actually I think the barrier still functioned under water, but Inaho and his crew were able to pinpoint the openings, like the sole of the Kataphrakt's feet, and the receptor.

The Nilokera had a cool design, and it worked well with CGI. So far all the mechs are looking cool in CGI.

Yes but it wasn't black.
thats an actual (but really minor) flaw there. It really doesnt ruin anything in the slightest as its pretty much irrelevant to all the series but at least this observation has more logic into it than that awful knife argument.
Actually it sort of does since the barrier would make the mecha look black except for the places where it's not there, which means the water trap thing is meaningless.

Unless the barrier itself gives out light waves then that's a different story.
