I would like to know it too. Maybe it is simply a plothole, one of many, or Slaine has aldnoah, either because of his father's research or because he is related to the martian royalty.
Or Cruhteo. I hope for the latter.

Other than that I hope that they won't ressurect Asseylum, that's simply too much. In that case they shouln't have introduced the assassination attempt on Deucalion.
Inaho may survive unfortunately, but I hope that he won't too.


THen who would be MC?

Because if its Slaine, then fuck no. The only role he can logically have now is that of villain.

I'd rather have asspull survival of princess and/or Inaho, than 12 episodes of Slaine's bullshit


Slaine can only be the villian at this point (whether as main villian or as an falsely guided one (by Saazbaum?)), no way he can be MC. Certainly not since the princess is still one of the driving points of the plot. I really doubt that the emperor would be pleased if he would find out about the raid on the Landing Castle and the story behind it.
Besides, if the emperor finds out about it at all (no matter if he knows about Saazbaum's betrayal or not) I reckon the people at the moonbase will have one heck of a problem.

episode 12 minutes 20-24 legendary

I was in no way shape or form going to watch season two.... until BAM. Everybody besides Slaine dies. It shocked the shit out of me, but now that I think about it.... thank god. Slaine is the only decent character in this entire show. Inaho was an emotionless shell, the Princess was a flowery moron, and everyone else was just kind of there. Now I'm interested to see what happens in season two and if slaine goes all lelouch on everyone and destroys the world to create it anew.

Well, I he could get some development... Oh, wait, it's Aldnoah crew we're talking about.
Personally, I didn't care for Assylum or Inaho, so I'd watch the second cour, if Slaine became the sole main character. Inaho is replaceable, in my opinion. Asseylum shouldn't be revived without a very good reason, if they have an ounce of taste.
But I think that most likely we'll have timeskip, and everything is possible after timeskip. Some new characters will be introduced too.

Time to lay down my issues with the show I guess

- The entire conflict sparking from the princess's assassination was stupid. Much like I said in the episode 2 (or 3?) discussion there is no one to hold the martians accountable if they went to war with earth. They are already starving so most of the martians would be in favour of war, not to mention they won't bother negotiating because their military is just that more advanced. You know what makes this fact even worse? MARITO SAYS THIS IN EPISODE 11, they literally broke the logic of their own show.

- The mecha are extremely stupid and impractical, the last fight was the dumbest of them all because all Saazbuum needs to do was fire his missles when they were in the hallway.. that would have killed all of them and they wouldn't be able to dodge. I mean he could have even just kept on his anti-matter shield and flew into them for victory, but nah he had to go with the most impractical option out of them all.

Let's not forget two of their mechs got defeated by water and none of them save for saazbuum's has regular weapons (also if saazbuum's could have so many features why is everyone else not having more features of their own to make up for the weaknesses?).... why don't think they having ranged weapons is a good idea? To purposefully leave a gigantic weakness with their mecha?

- The inconsistency.. I'll go with the stuff I remember. The complete 180 the emperor does in one episode.. absolutely ridiculous and unbelievable, the fact that they can't get LT marito's backstory straight (the flast back in episode 1 and the therapy done in episode 9 or 8 don't match up), Slaine being fucking surprised Saazbuum shot the princess when he and Saazbuum just had that fucking conversation in episode 10 (I believe). How did Marito or Orlene's mech survive that big ass explosion on the island etc.. good lord.

- The lack of character development.. I know the same about inaho, inko and slaine and the princess as I did at the start of the show. There's almost no development at all.. what were they thinking with this? Saazbuum and Rayet are literally the same character just with different levels of power.

Man there's a lot more I had issue with in the show like the meh animation and overused OST but I can barely think straight about it. Even the ending was meh to me because Inaho and the princess did not grow as characters.

Although I would like them to be alive, it is possible for the story to continue without them. View it with a plot-driven viewpoint. It's called ALDNOAH.ZERO because of the Aldnoah technology and it depicts the second war between UE and the Vers Empire, what could a second season depict? Another conflict.

Looks like they decided to go with the ending where everyone dies (except for Slaine). Man, it would be so BS if in the second season, everyone turns out to be alive (but I get the feeling that's what will happen)

Btw, I know that people don't like Urobuchi mentioned when discussing Aldnoah, but it looked like he came back for the last 5 minutes of the show. The ending had the same dark feeling as the first episodes. I would like if the whole show had been like that - with actual deaths and ideological conflicts. I don't say that it did make sense, but the mood and the tension were enjoyable.

welp
I think this is my second post ever.
EDIT: fourth post, but whatever

Just a few things.
1. v9092, you're a fucking idiot, and a prime example of a retarded fanboy.
2. With actual logic, Inaho/Asseylum/Saazbaum should be all dead (If not instantly dead, then from injuries). With anime/Aldnoah.Zero logic, they probably all survived (Not entirely sure about Saazbaum, but he wasn't actually killed)
3. Slaine is a fucking idiot. He knows Saazbaum will stop at nothing to kill the princess, he sees Inaho about to finish off Saazbaum while in the mech, proceeds to tackle him. They all recover, Asseylum goes over to Inaho, and Slaine presumably sees. Saazbaum proceeds to - appearingly - lethally shoot the princess, to which he goes crazy and proceeds to basically turn Saazbaum into swiss cheese, but stop from a lethal shot. Inaho is crawling over to the princess, and probably highly distressed, Slaine gets upset for whatever reason (jealousy?), and tells him to stop, Inaho probably intentionally tried to get himself shot, given the fact he knew he was in a much worse position, yet pulled out the gun when Slaine had already aimed and loaded, Slaine shoots.
4. Ending says the body of the princess was not discovered, and in combination with anime logic and Aldnoah.Zero stupidity, it's almost guaranteed she's alive. The narrator for the ending was Inaho's sister if I remember correctly, and since they were all within the Aldnoah chamber, there's only one spot they could've all been, and I'm pretty sure that she would've made some remark about Inaho/Slaine/Saazbaum if they were there/dead. So presumably they're missing or alive too, but the ending does a shit job of trying to be a cliffhanger.
5. Second part of split cour will probably be a timeskip, given the name of the episode (Childhood's End)
6. Slaine basically guaranteed dead next cour half
7. Inaho is the Sherlock Holmes and Kristen Stewart of anime, with his deduction skills and ability (/sarcasm) to show emotion. Rayet is a melodramatic nihilistic (did I use the right word?) idiot, the princess is naive and idiotic, and a fanservice target, Inaho's sister exists just to be used as a plot point and bug her little brother, the rest of Inaho's friends mean nothing, and PTSD guy is a whiny PTSD guy.

Cruhteo was the one good character in this anime and they go and kill him off.
Saazbaum is far off, but maybe somewhat second best. His super-OP mecha destroying everything was pretty neat, and he's also pretty cunning, but it's only partially from his own intelligence, partially from super-OP mecha, and mostly from every other character being an idiot (except savior Inaho who can find exploits in every Aldnoah mecha).
EDIT 2: Saazbaum is also an idiot, why would he basically break his shield by firing the arms when he could've just charged into them, or swung the plasma sword around. Firing missiles would probably break the shield as well, and charging could lead to off balance = having to disarm shield.

Also, for fuck's sakes, Urobuchi wasn't directing any of the episodes in this first half-cour, besides the first two.

I think that's it for now, I remember having more to say, but forgot it at the moment.

Seeing how this anime quickly eliminated the villains, maybe they need a strong villain. Maybe Slaine can be that.


If that's the case, I hope he gets it right this time around. Guy can't even choose a side, half the time it's "I must save you, princess!" and then "Guy who wants to kill the princess, I better save you too!". He even killed Inaho who saved the princess countless times.

If that's the case then we have a hook for a post-apocalyptic series like After War Gundam X.

What's up with Slaine? Why would he save Saazbaum when he knows he's after the princesses life? I don't get his actions at all...

Loved the ending though, and the narration gave me a "nice boat" feel with the crazed Slaine + dead missing princess. If only there was an ending scene like this (with Slaine and a decapitated princess):
