Amazing, then the users are required to agree with arguments based on Fanwank and FanFiction. We had 20 episodes, and no argument put forward by you guys, it was shown in the anime. You want the users agree with their abstract opinions based on personal taste and fantasies. The users do not have the right to protest and disagree, of his arguments, because they are considered stupid or worthless. I'm sorry, more all the arguments through abstract facts, no more than Fanwank and FanFiction. That's excuse, desperate User, just because none of his arguments presented so far, has been shown in the anime. People have the right to complain, especially users who have theories and arguments that were never proven. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: deadoptimist said: Wow, so I am tiring now. Don't you think that reading the endless crusade against Slaine for the whole two seasons had been tiring for anyone? I've finally decided to react to it, that's all. Pretty sure it started after episode 12. Till episode 11, even i felt bad for his character. So how about you stop basing your judgement on what you recently saw on the forums. Erm, no. Darklight0303 said: Slaine shot him first. Take off the fanboy goggles. s1ep7 vieri32 said: You say that guy Inaho not have emotions, tell me the emotion that Slaine has? Slaine catch every episode and that never changes his face dead, do not think about other people is not the princess, the famous unhealthy obsession. Slaine from the first episode did not move a Muscolo of your face, always with the same expression. Unfortunate Inaho can not have more emotions in this regard Slaine equals, not actually worse because he has that face dead. Slaine joke man, qualque normal person knows that a person with unhealthy obsession, forgets himself. Face the fanboys Sline are increasingly insurportaveis to endure. s1ep8 (also seujair!) - picked up randomly I guess, it started around the shooting episode. Dragon_Slayer_X said: I too am tired of seeing #slainedidnothingwrong type posts with shitty and delusional reasoning and had to react to it. That’s not a trend – most people agree that Slaine is a complex character, who made mistakes. People simply search for motivations. Unlike people not giving any ground in arguing that Inaho’s eye is completely realistic in the A.Z setting or saying that it’s completely ok, that no named characters die in a supposedly devastating war. Dragon_Slayer_X said: I don't like whatever shit Slaine has been doing and i don't feel any sympathy for him since he dug the grave for himself, can you change my mind or prove me wrong? No you can't. I don’t plan to, but I don’t mind either, I just don’t think that it is necessary to write it each time Slaine is mentioned, force your hate on other people by insulting them or post about it all the time no matter the current topic discussed. Dragon_Slayer_X said: For all your complains, did you completely miss that most of the time we pointed out to this delusional interpretations for example "Slaine never wanted Lemrina to be involved" like someone said earlier even though she was involved from when she agrred to help Saazbaum or when some other try to blame other characters to justify their favorite Slaine-sama. Btw, if she had already been involved means that it was not Slaine’s choice to drag her into the mess. And Slaine’s opinion on the matter hasn’t been stated openly, so that he doesn’t want anything to do with her is a valid option. Dragon_Slayer_X said: There is nothing wrong with writing fan fictions just don't try to pass those as facts or excuses.....that's where the problems lies. Nah, the problem is that you think you can define where the line between speculation and the fact lies based on your interpretation, and it contradicts other people’s views. Dragon_Slayer_X said: I am sorry but where were you when people like ihateuimeanit or officialmiko started inaho-bashing threads and insulting inaho-fans because they don't like slaine. We got name-called a lot since we don't like Slaine or like Inaho. Please playing the "hero" role based on your limited view isn't going to work. You can keep up with your crusade.....it was biased in the first place. Biased in whose favor? In favor of not calling people “fags”? Surely. Maybe those people once were here, but they are not active anymore and your bashing continues. Kymano, for example, doesn’t strike me as a Slaine’s fan, but he got shot down for not spitting on Slaine actively. Basically it has come to aggressively dismiss any opinions that are not focused on hate towards Slaine, be it criticism against Inaho (that doesn’t automatically mean liking Slaine) or simply any other commentary. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Also we made our own analysis about Slaine being the guilty one while you made your analysis about how it's also partially Inaho's fault. The most we can agree is that the scene could have been played out better but don't go declaring your analysis is the proper one here. “We”, “our”. Damn, you guys remind of a sect sometimes. No matter how many times it has been brought up, the fight is a tie: there are many very good arguments brought up by both sides. Dragon_Slayer_X said: I don't hate Slaine because he is a villain but i hate him because of how he did things. How many times must i say this? Moral aspect isn't going to work as an argument here. I didn't hate Saazbaum but i don't agree with his methods. Er, isn’t it one and the same more or less? Judging a character is looking at his entertainment value, realism, progression, development, design, interactions etc. You don’t do it, you offer moral evaluations, i.e. judge him as a person. “Villain” means that he does bad things, you say that he makes things in a wrong way. I like Slaine cause he offers a story with big developments, plenty of drama and together with him we see an alien society, slightly reminiscent of classical literature. There is intrigue and complex relationships. I find the terrans’ plotline very pale in comparision. And you argue with me by saying that Slaine is bad. |

Pro tip: It doesn't matter if the other guy is an asshole, you're probably an asshole too. Honestly. This board is a caustic mess. We'll switch off to a new thread tomorrow) I won't be at home in the morning, so I won't shitpost for some time either. Also I wonder why can't we ever pick up the topic of the zero-g sex properly. People become enthusiastic, but quickly run away. ;_; |

ANGRY2011, Savethebestforu and deadoptimist. Users are pitiful. They believe the poor themselves argument, based on their personal opinions. And those who do not agree with such argument cited by them are ofendeidos and attacked. What they fail to see is that there is no development of Slaine character within the mecha genre. The fact is that Slaine, of all created mecha, is the character that has less features within the genre. Take any anime that has its main genre mecha, and compare the main characters, Slaine is second to none, he is in the wrong anime. The fact is that Slaine die now, nothing will change, the Martians continued attacking the earth, and the Terrans defending, nothing will change. you can change the system, not more the mindset of people. deadoptimist, you exaggerated, classical literature, one cliche drama fantasy romance, based on two princessas, birds, roses what the hell this has to do with mecha. The focus of Slaine is stuck in a cheap drama, has nothing to do with the proposal submitted by the author. Robo Real vs Super Robo. |

I would've loved it if Inaho was the utilitarian character I heard he was rumored to have been: choosing whatever actions produced the best results, sacrificing whatever or whoever was necessary to achieve success against an insurmountable opponent. It would have made him a more complex character, IMO. |

An interesting thing came Well not sure if this is real but Slaine is turned against Asseylum and she is rescued by a loyalist knight called Cain voiced by Haruto's VA lol... 昏睡状態からの覚醒後、レムリナから現状を聞いた彼女は スレインの行動をいさめようとするが、軟禁されてしまう。 そんな彼女に再び運命の分岐点が訪れる。 火星騎士の一人。スレインの率いる強硬派に対し、皇帝派に属する。 He's against Slaine's faction and is. loyal to the emperor. 昏睡状態からの覚醒後、レムリナから現状を聞いた彼女は After waking out from a coma (but...), she herd the current situation from Lemrina スレインの行動をいさめようとするが、軟禁されてしまう。 She tries to dissuade Slaine from his current behavior, but she is placed in house arrest instead. そんな彼女に再び運命の分岐点が訪れる。 Again not sure if real or fake. |

Thread Scenario: Three Factions: Slaine sucks Faction Independent All about complex character Faction All are battling it out with their wits but looks like some people are turning to fanfiction for support (#ifeelsosorryforwhoeverjustgotshutdownrightnowlolol) I honestly don't get the hate anymore, slaine is still his ever so complex character and bitch mode sometimes while inaho is slowly getting away from his cardboard self but still within the vicinity. Jeez people, the anime is ending and you guys haven't resolved your hatred for characters yet? I for once is starting to like Inaho a bit and slowly even out to Slaine .-. Oh noez, is this what people call Development? |

deadoptimist said: Erm, no. I guess, it started around the shooting episode. Erm yes............randomly picking posts won't help you here, neither will it prove your point. Besides you can't prove Darklight wrong either since he probably said that to some idiot with the same #inahoshotslainefirst crap.........we had an influx of those types after episode 12 along with comments like "I hate Inaho for no reason, so glad he died" which were kind of bs and painful to look at. You can guess since you don't actually know when it started but you just randomly accuse others with your limited view. Ever heard of selective bias? If not take a deep breath and go over what you are doing again. deadoptimist said: That’s not a trend – most people agree that Slaine is a complex character, who made mistakes. People simply search for motivations. Unlike people not giving any ground in arguing that Inaho’s eye is completely realistic in the A.Z setting or saying that it’s completely ok, that no named characters die in a supposedly devastating war. What most people are you referring to again? Who made you a representative of the majority again? I am tired of asking these questions you know. Complex character? Sorry i only see a somewhat unlucky character who i used to feel bad for turn into a obsessive jealous yandere with borrowed motivations and ideals that don't make much sense considering he only had one goal from episode 1-10 and now turned into a complete nutcase. Oh and that was the result of his own choices. The last 2 points are completely dependent on personal opinion and i believe i have replied to those before. Besides rather than not giving any ground, they have given their points against it. Some of you guys consistently pestering that it's not possible or realistic in a fictional setting while throwing out whatever insults you please about the characters. Guess what we are both guilty.........you aren't a saint here. deadoptimist said: I don’t plan to, but I don’t mind either, I just don’t think that it is necessary to write it each time Slaine is mentioned, force your hate on other people by insulting them or post about it all the time no matter the current topic discussed. It is necessary when people try to paint him as some sort of guilt-free heroic character while shitting on the other ones. Force our hate and insulting huh..........isn't it about time you realize you are being biased? Because i never saw you when we were getting insulted just because of pointing out Slaine's faults and issues. deadoptimist said: Btw, if she had already been involved means that it was not Slaine’s choice to drag her into the mess. And Slaine’s opinion on the matter hasn’t been stated openly, so that he doesn’t want anything to do with her is a valid option. Slaine didn't oppose it. He didn't have any problems using Lemrina with the Princess's image to promote war. Moreover he did the same thing after getting Saazbaum killed. It is not a valid option when you take advantage of someone and later throw her away like some roadside pebble. Like Darklight previously said, Slaine could have done it the smart way by not ignoring her but guess what he likes making his grave bigger and it's all on him. deadoptimist said: Nah, the problem is that you think you can define where the line between speculation and the fact lies based on your interpretation, and it contradicts other people’s views. No not really..........you can make all the excuses you want but those baseless interpretations which go against the story just to justify Slaine-sama will always be fan fictions. We can go about this point in circles all day long. deadoptimist said: Biased in whose favor? In favor of not calling people “fags”? Surely. That's your issue? Should i call all of you Mindless Slaine Fanatics rather than differentiating between fans and fags/apologists? Does that sound better to you? Does that make you happy? Sheesh for all your "hero" act some of you has been biased towards Slaine-hater/Inaho-fans from the start. Now it's completely showing in your posts. deadoptimist said: Maybe those people once were here, but they are not active anymore and your bashing continues. Kymano, for example, doesn’t strike me as a Slaine’s fan, but he got shot down for not spitting on Slaine actively. Basically it has come to aggressively dismiss any opinions that are not focused on hate towards Slaine, be it criticism against Inaho (that doesn’t automatically mean liking Slaine) or simply any other commentary. You know i do admit that my reply to him was a bit aggressive but i do still stand by my point that his theory doesn't make sense based on what shown and i have said why. After the multitude of slaine-apologist excuses and fan fiction posts, you get irritated sometimes and lose your cool. But you know what , i don't really see people saying Slaine is a better character without trying to make Inaho look bad and it turns into a Inaho vs Slaine war everytime. What was it that you said again.......Slaine is better character than Inaho since he got some development (degradation) and why hate him just because he is a villain (even though he turned out a psychopath). You people seem to have a problem with us liking Inaho for what he is and come up with gary-stu, wish fulfillment or other buzzwords. deadoptimist said: “We”, “our”. Damn, you guys remind of a sect sometimes. No matter how many times it has been brought up, the fight is a tie: there are many very good arguments brought up by both sides. Yeah it's a tie since it can't possibly be Slaine's faults even though he bears the most guilt. Like i said, that most we can agree about "The scene could have been played out better" deadoptimist said: Er, isn’t it one and the same more or less? Judging a character is looking at his entertainment value, realism, progression, development, design, interactions etc. You don’t do it, you offer moral evaluations, i.e. judge him as a person. “Villain” means that he does bad things, you say that he makes things in a wrong way. Sigh no they are not. You are arguing again and again that i dislike Slaine because he is a villain while i am saying i dislike/hate him for all this realism, progression, development, design or whatever else you are talking about. Is there any rule that i can't hate a character for those........or do we all have to like him because you do? How about you open your eyes and stop forcing your opinions. For all the complains you are making, you are doing exactly the same. deadoptimist said: I like Slaine cause he offers a story with big developments, plenty of drama and together with him we see an alien society, slightly reminiscent of classical literature. There is intrigue and complex relationships. I find the terrans’ plotline very pale in comparision. And you argue with me by saying that Slaine is bad. Once again, do i have to like Slaine because YOU find him interesting? I don't find him or his cheap drama interesting. Personally Slaine's awful drama has been a waste of time for me...........they could have utilized that time by giving us explanations on Aldnoah, show a few flashbacks of Inaho and give him more closure and characterization or some flashbacks about Saazbaum. But hey they just had to please the fujioshi demographic. Inaho's strategy and battles has made the show interesting for me along with the interaction of the characters with him. I can say that i find the earth side more fun and Vers side retarded in most cases...........can you say i am wrong or force your taste onto me? No you really can't. Savethebestforu said: At least I was attempting to respond to his nonsense before, but now all he's doing is posting comments from the animesuki forums onto here and just creating space. Oh man you are obsessed. I am actually worried for you now. Savethebestforu said: That's the reason I go after you so much, because you talk shit to many people. He was insulting multiple users in those threads, so I decided to see how he liked it. Turns out I created a monster, but at least it was better than a copy+paste machine. So like deadoptimist, you are of the same opinion that "I only saw you guys so you must be the guilty ones". Yes man keep played your "biased hero role" for all it's worth. Funny that we never got guys like you when we were and are still insulted. Don't even remember how many times i have to report people but i vaguely remember you and Ninja making dumb provocations by talking about username or sig. Hmmm weird......for all the "good guy" act, you guys aren't any different and biased to a fault. ANGRY2011 said: I'M THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE. NOW EVERYONE SHUTUP. Eh, that's the best I can do, I'm not feeling my namesake today. Don't worry Angry we are all assholes and the next episode is coming up soon. It will start all over again. |

It successfully proves that the argument had already became heated by as early as in the thread for the 7th episode (I am countering your claim that it started only after the 12th episode), which was the point (not accusing Darklight this time). Dragon_Slayer_X said: What most people are you referring to again? Most of the active users among those who are not a part of anti-Slaine party – Savethebestforu, ANGRY2011 (please, correct me, ANGRY, if I am wrong), Viktor_Otaku, kymano, AlexGK, Makaze_no_Moujuu… Since I made effort, please, cite the posts that say that Slaine is ideal and not to blame for anything from one of the recent three episode threads. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Who made you a representative of the majority again? I am tired of asking these questions you know. If you’re tired, don’t ask. ^_^ That way you may notice that I have never presented myself as such.

Oh and that was the result of his own choices. Yeah, a sympathetic character turned into a yandere is a development, which gives him at least some complexity. Now the problem with his motivations is a good point (which I brought up several times in our discussion), but that’s a problem of writing, since the motivation or the lack of one should be always present for an action (halfhearted attempts were made, but they’re not consistent). It would’ve been a great topic to discuss instead of your usual stuff. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Nah, the problem is that you think you can define where the line between speculation and the fact lies based on your interpretation, and it contradicts other people’s views. No not really..........you can make all the excuses you want but those baseless interpretations which go against the story just to justify Slaine-sama will always be fan fictions. We can go about this point in circles all day long. Yeah, since you insist that only your interpretation is correct there’s nothing that can be done here. Dragon_Slayer_X said: That's your issue? Should i call all of you Mindless Slaine Fanatics rather than differentiating between fans and fags/apologists? Does that sound better to you? Does that make you happy? Oh, please, show me at least one person openly sympathetic to Slaine who you haven’t attacked. Dragon_Slayer_X said: You people seem to have a problem with us liking Inaho for what he is and come up with gary-stu, wish fulfillment or other buzzwords. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Sigh no they are not. You are arguing again and again that i dislike Slaine because he is a villain while i am saying i dislike/hate him for all this realism, progression, development, design or whatever else you are talking about. Is there any rule that i can't hate a character for those........or do we all have to like him because you do? How about you open your eyes and stop forcing your opinions. For all the complains you are making, you are doing exactly the same. I think that Inaho is a Gary Stu, but I don’t have a problem with you liking him until you start to attack other people because of that. If you do care about character progression, the first time you have shown it is in the quote above (the one about the motivation). But “obsessive jealous yandere” and “complete nutcase” are definitely not about writing – these are comments about personal qualities. Dragon_Slayer_X said: you aren't a saint here. Definitely no, but I believe I am usually more polite about it than you or some other Slaine haters. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Once again, do i have to like Slaine because YOU find him interesting? I don't find him or his cheap drama interesting. Personally Slaine's awful drama has been a waste of time for me...........they could have utilized that time by giving us explanations on Aldnoah, show a few flashbacks of Inaho and give him more closure and characterization or some flashbacks about Saazbaum. But hey they just had to please the fujioshi demographic. They’re pleasing it with both characters, if you have watched the OP or have been to the A.Z part of Pixiv. And no, for the umpteenth time, I don’t care if you like him or not. I dislike you being aggressive about it and often not to the point in your comments. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Inaho's strategy and battles has made the show interesting for me along with the interaction of the characters with him. I can say that i find the earth side more fun and Vers side retarded in most cases...........can you say i am wrong or force your taste onto me? No you really can't. It’s your right, and it would be perfect if you expressed your opinion like this normally. Though I, personally, could’ve argued with you that Inaho has very few meaningful interactions with other characters. In any case that would’ve been a much more meaningful discussion than the one we have now. There would've been arguing, but on a whole other level.

I'm not part of any party, I'm just an independent trying to finish the show, which I thought was revving up this season, but now might take a downturn for me. Slaine's (or as a wider whole - Vers') plot line is the only thing keeping me in the show at all (give major points to Lemrina, although that might now also blow up in my face). I find the battles to be underwhelming as a whole, with the exception of the space battles, which are somewhat more interesting. I think I've narrowed in on the reason for this being that the space battles usually had a more interesting amount of maneuverability, since the "gimmicks" of the Vers suits aren't usually very interesting, in my opinion, and groundside everyone seems to move like a snail or just stand still. I also find the (non) exploration of the Terran forces to be a sore point for me, because I don't have much more than surface level attachment to any of the Terran crew, and without any other developments it isn't all that interesting to me. On the Vers side at least we have Slaine, Lemrina, and Harklight (who are all at least more interesting to me on some level than most Terran characters - especially now that PTSD guy is just "cured"), and even if they are now starting to suffer from choices in writing or plot I wouldn't make, the overall plot elements surrounding the Vers forces are at least driving the story instead of reacting to it. I guess if I declared a party other than Independent, I'd choose the "I'm disappointed because I feel this was wasted potential" party. |

While I find Vers' side more interesting than the terrans', I can't help by lament how much potential has been wasted. Btw, using the fact that this thread is still active, I'd like to talk a bit about Lemrina. I have a lot of questions about the way her situation is shown. First of all it's strange or maybe impressive that Saazbaum managed to hide a princess. Does nobody know about the king's lover? Also how can she live hidden on a space base? In any case it's strange that she doesn't have her own aide/friends. If she poses as a simple martian she could make friends openly, if she was hidden (how exactly is it possible in an enclosed space with limited personnel?), she still should've had her own maid (Saazbaum couldn't help her with more personal matters, it would've been impolite and he couldn't have had enough time). Why she rlies on Eddelrittuo is beyond me, as well as why she doesn't have any contacts on the base. Then there is a question about her injury. I like to think that her legs are simlpy poorly developped due to her upbringing in a low g environment without proper care. (She can jump using at least one leg in zero-g). A space bound pretty princess - now that is sexy. That brings me to the quastion why she uses the wheelchair. We see her sitting on a chair in the same room with proper gravitation. But she is a damned aldnoah gifted princess and she lives on the moon, so why doesn't she has a comfy royal suite with zero-g to happily hop around? And she has the power of aldnoah, so why use the silly wheelchair, that seems to have motor (because of the sound it makes), not an aldnoah powered antigrav one or an exoskeleton? Now we don't kow, maybe aldnoah cores need a bulky heat discharger tech, but the core itself seems portable. Wouldn't it be logical to find a suitable core and make her a fansy supporting armor? |

Does nobody know about the king's lover? Also how can she live hidden on a space base? Best I can figure about this is that it is definitely impressive for Saaz. I'd assume the Emperor, not wanting his bastard child and lover to be known, probably would have kept her assigned to a shortlist of personnel - probably just a few caretakers in this case, maybe confined to a small section, like a restricted wing. It is possible he managed to keep this secret from his father, and it definitely seems like he kept it secret from Asseylum and most of the counts. If this was the case, it might have been possible for Saaz to make a move after his death in the war, because the caretakers would be relatively unknown at that point, maybe only senior administrative or military staff of the moon base itself. deadoptimist said: In any case it's strange that she doesn't have her own aide/friends.

Why she rlies on Eddelrittuo is beyond me, as well as why she doesn't have any contacts on the base. Going off of my theory above, I'd say that she was likely very confined. The moon base may have people in it, but they are likely all military personnel with only a few supporting personnel. If Lemrina's area was small and out of the way compared to the main quarters of the lower-ranking personnel, as well as restricted, they wouldn't have much reason to come across her, and she presumably is easier to confine thanks to her ailment. As for the high ranking people, it is unclear how high up this secret could go, but it may be known to only the commander of the moon base itself and his hand-picked confidants. Honestly, when it comes to the question of why these caretakers or personal maid or whoever she had isn't around anymore, I'd have to say I believe it is simple laziness on the part of the staff. Lemrina, even if sequestered, had to have someone taking care of her unless she was left for literal dead, and even then she'd still need to be guarded to prevent her from becoming a public issue. But we already have a maid character in Edelertiasdtasdtlaj, and having her "fill in" makes Lemrina while in disguise look legitimate, and also provides a way to keep Edeleaealkjgljsg close to Asseylum for the inevitable waking up. From an in-universe perpective, when they decided to start allowing Lemrina out around the base more and using her as Asseylum, they might have "retired" her previous staff, perhaps to keep the secret more closely guarded. Lemrina's staff may not have necessarily been nice to her either, perhaps just being forced to perform under threat. We'll likely never know, but if they existed, Lemrina doesn't seem saddened by their loss. deadoptimist said: Then there is a question about her injury.

I think this likely has to do with how little her father cared for her. Lemrina is decidedly NOT happy with the royal family. I doubt the previous emperor gave her any kind of real amenities. Her personal quarters could have been made at lower gravity, maybe, but why would the Emperor necessarily bother? It is the same with the wheelchair really. Sure, she could have something awesome, but why would he bother? These are the only real reasons I can give. Just because she has royal blood doesn't mean her father would necessarily provide for her like a princess. Keep his dirty secret hidden and livable (and by normal standards at least moderately comfy) conditions, but don't bother wasting time, resources, or attention on creating specialized things which could draw attention to her existence. As for why she wouldn't get these things after Saaz takes over, who knows. Could be hard to actually do something like that maybe. Aldnoah cores, how do they work? Renovations to moon bases, probably not as simple as redoing a room. And then in the current time, not the priority in a war and with Lemrina likely having access to more than she did during her sequestration, she's probably already happier with her living conditions than before. That's all my speculation on the matter, if I had to try to justify it. |

But he was a very well-connected and respected guy, so he probably has been influential for a long time. As to the rumors, people discovering it, etc. Maybe they did... maybe they didn't. Who knows what the interior of the moonbase is like. I would also say the Vers system of authority lends itself to containing information and rebellion. The counts have what looks like complete free reign of their citizens, and don't seem to be above torture and execution of their own men. A secret like Lemrina's existence beyond a rumor "there's a girl living in the moonbase all alone" urban-legend style could possibly be harshly punished. deadoptimist said: Yeah, it is possible that the stuff was removed.

Perhaps when they replaced her staff with Edeladsglsdkgjasdl, with her, Saaz, and Slaine around, as well as Lemrina's probably-extended-roam area and contact base, they didn't feel the need to have another. Now that Edelaelkjaglj moved to Asseylum, I think the obvious culprit for Lemrina's isolation and lack of care is Slaine. Saaz isn't around to treat her right anymore, and the writers have clearly decided that Slaine giving up and turning into his own character or getting over Asseylum isn't happening, and in his obsession he doesn't even think enough about Lemrina to give her proper staff after taking it away.

It may have just been outside of Saaz's real abilities. Despite the fact that Vers tech seems miraculous, apparently it isn't enough to solve the problems of their home planet, and maybe it also isn't enough to make special conversions easy. It's a poor explanation, but it is about the only one that works. I don't know how their artificial gravity works or doesn't work. Just like we know nothing about Aldnoah. It seems capable of doing anything, but at the same time they are also so limited in scope in other ways. How common are cores? How hard are they to make? Are they just some kind of infinite power source? Do they actually have a special construction that makes them connected to their supposed unique "power," and therefore are unable to be easily repurposed or general purpose? Too many questions, not enough answers. |

deadoptimist said: It successfully proves that the argument had already became heated by as early as in the thread for the 7th episode (I am countering your claim that it started only after the 12th episode), which was the point (not accusing Darklight this time). No it doesn't prove or counter anything. It's started to become this bad after episode 12 when slaine apologists tried to use this as a excuse that Inaho made Slaine his enemy or some other bs. You want to see for yourself, Aldnoah Zero forums aren't very far away you know. deadoptimist said: Most of the active users among those who are not a part of anti-Slaine party – Savethebestforu, ANGRY2011 (please, correct me, ANGRY, if I am wrong), Viktor_Otaku, kymano, AlexGK, Makaze_no_Moujuu… Heh i will repeat it again.........you know what Selective Bias is don't you? deadoptimist said: Since I made effort, please, cite the posts that say that Slaine is ideal and not to blame for anything from one of the recent three episode threads. Sigh this was painful to dig around........but can you show me some posts where people praised/sympathized with Slaine without bashing or blaming Inaho. There are several hate threads if you want to look around. Zergneedsfood said: Has Slaine does anything morally objectionable? And shooting someone you like is not an acceptable answer. Zergneedsfood said: How? I've already proved that Slaine's actions have been, in totality, beneficial from a utilitarian standpoint. So Bentham and Mills right off the bat would agree with me that Slaine has done nothing wrong and has violated no objectionable moral standards. And any Kantian/deontological arguments would require us to universalize our standards to Inaho, who has been far worse from an objective standpoint. But please, I invite one to discuss why the cruel and cold ruthless calculus of Inaho is not any more suspect than our dogooder Slaine-kun. LucinaXAvatar said: Sigh, you obviously don't like watching underdogs in an plot. No one likes watching a Gary Stu. In response to slaine plotting his own destruction... well I chalk it up to his inexperience and lack of information as to what the hell is going on. I personally find that his reactions are somewhat normal considering that they are in a battlefield. It is Inaho who is abnormal, no one can be that calm in any situation unless there is something wrong with their head. Which there is, he is a damn autistic. We get a truck load of these type. Jakerams said: See people still raging on the thread but anyways Slaine could not trust Inoha as you've seen from the previous episodes. It was still stupid to save the person who is trying to assassinate Seylum. Inoha is trigger happy around Slaine for some reason once shooting him out of the sky and then trying to shoot him just then. Imagine if Inoha did not shoot slaine out the sky which led to him being tortured everything could have gone smoothly. Also this ones were very common........retarded reasoning and hate because OP mc. naark said: IMHO i really like their deaths.. I hope you guys don't bash me but i think the princess and Inaho should die.. and I really really hope that the second season wouldn't turn-out like the princess survived because of --Slaine's "charm necklace" the bullet didn't hit critically.. that's BS.. and Inaho should die since he's overpowered here, every thing that I see about him is so out of place.. he's a go-to-guy even though he's just a student, he can match any Martian's robot and when the he's analyzing an enemy they would suddenly shift target to other things.. plus on the jump to the enemy's base was like the bullets were avoiding him.. and he even matched 1v1 versus Count Saazbaum's super combined cataprach like wooT??? and I hope season 2 would give Marito a chance to show his skills even just a little... JivingLotus said: Thank you Slaine for killing that emotionless husk who made me want to stop watching this anime altogether, so satisfying. If Inaho suddenly comes back to life next season I'll instadrop. He's such a... non-character, I didn't find him a likable protagonist in the way. Just a boring "win the fights, advance the story" plot device. Lack of emotion =/= "badass". I'd take a crazy conflicted hero any day of the week. deadoptimist said: If you’re tired, don’t ask. ^_^ That way you may notice that I have never presented myself as such. Talking about other people doesn’t mean being their representative (I haven’t used “we” nearly as often as you). I am tired of asking because you use "Most of the people" or "Most of use" several times. So you think you don't act as such but your words say otherwise. deadoptimist said: Yeah, a sympathetic character turned into a yandere is a development, which gives him at least some complexity. Now the problem with his motivations is a good point (which I brought up several times in our discussion), but that’s a problem of writing, since the motivation or the lack of one should be always present for an action (halfhearted attempts were made, but they’re not consistent). It would’ve been a great topic to discuss instead of your usual stuff. Yes he is such a complex character that now he has become the obsessive madman like some of us have been saying earlier. But lets ignore it as slaine-bashing and let's forget all the excuses made to justify his actions. deadoptimist said: Yeah, since you insist that only your interpretation is correct there’s nothing that can be done here. It's closer to what's shown than most of the excuses posted on slaine's behalf. deadoptimist said: Oh, please, show me at least one person openly sympathetic to Slaine who you haven’t attacked. Sympathetic as in the ones with #slainedidnothingwrong excuses or the genuine ones who accepts that he has done shit.? If it's the former, then their delusions were shattered and if it's the later, please show me that i have attacked everybody. Oh also check whether it was attack or counterattack. Since you are saying i attacked every sympathizer that must mean i have attacked anyone who says "I like Slaine". Here is a hint: they also had "Inaho sucks" or some apologist excuse in their posts. deadoptimist said: I think that Inaho is a Gary Stu, but I don’t have a problem with you liking him until you start to attack other people because of that. If you do care about character progression, the first time you have shown it is in the quote above (the one about the motivation). But “obsessive jealous yandere” and “complete nutcase” are definitely not about writing – these are comments about personal qualities. Oh yes buzzwords, automatically lessens the value of any opinion in my eyes. I didn't really bother posting until some slainefans started to shit on Inaho and his fans just to justify Slaine's sins. He got some great character degradation but whether that makes me like or hate the character is still my choice. Besides those comments on personal qualities aren't wrong. Are we going into moral aspects again? If so then i have already said what needed to be said. deadoptimist said: Definitely no, but I believe I am usually more polite about it than you or some other Slaine haters. And no, for the umpteenth time, I don’t care if you like him or not. I dislike you being aggressive about it and often not to the point in your comments. Oh please you haven't seen the worst of what he had to face. I got tired of reporting threads and users. So how polite do you want people to be.......i am curious. But this is how i usually post, if you find it too much aggressive then it can't be helped. deadoptimist said: They’re pleasing it with both characters, if you have watched the OP or have been to the A.Z part of Pixiv. Last time i checked it was mostly Slaine in uke position to other male characters or living in his dreamland with either princesses. I can hardly find pictures of Inaho but the few i found looks pretty badass. Like it or not, Slaine is an ideal fujoshi bait character. I still don't see the appeal of yandere characters though. deadoptimist said: It’s your right, and it would be perfect if you expressed your opinion like this normally. Though I, personally, could’ve argued with you that Inaho has very few meaningful interactions with other characters. In any case that would’ve been a much more meaningful discussion than the one we have now. There would've been arguing, but on a whole other level. But i have already said this quite a few times. I replied to your post about "the main characters not dying" too if you don't remember. Whether it was meaningful or not depends on your or my perspective btw. |

You want to see for yourself, Aldnoah Zero forums aren't very far away you know. Yeah, been there, quoted that. It’s pretty strage that you somehow miss that the shooting episode was the turning point. The feud is going on since then. The stuff about the 12th episode is your opinion. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Heh i will repeat it again.........you know what Selective Bias is don't you? I am aware of it.

But fine, let’s suppose this somehow counts too. Jekarams post is taken from the “who shoot first” argument and concerns only that case. What the posts about Inaho’s death are to do with the subject is unclear to me, cause thy don’t contain any attempts of justification for Slaine’s actions and are not concerned with Slaine. The examples: Solely from this thread and a bit of the previous: Makaze_no_Moujuu said: Why do people keep saying Slaine is "screwed" because the Asseylum now remembers? It's like people forget that before all of this Slaine was more, or less, her best friend, or someone she felt hella comfortable being around. I doubt that Asseylum will suddenly go out-of-character, and completely denounce Slaine on the spot. It's very likely that they'll talk, and it's in that talk that we'll find out whatever Slaine is trying to accomplish. That will determine how she will see him after this. Also, I feel really bad for Lemrina. Slaine is my dude, but the way he's treating her is cruel, and completely uncalled for. I know he feels like he can't love her, but he should at least be her friend. She's lonely as f*ck! I'm really hoping for something redeeming between in this "relationship" within these last 4 eps. awditty said: CookingPriest said: WEll this episode pretty much established Slaine as an insane genocidal psychopath. Good to know disagree; Slaine appears to have normal emotions. He appears to empathize with Seylum for example, or when he shouted Eddy down recently he knew immediately how she felt. Not a psychopath, maybe insane, probably genocidal. What this ep showed clearly for the first time, IMHO, is that Slaine's completely about Slaine. for S, Selfishness RULES. Savethebestforu said: Pretty good episode when compared to the rest of the series. I actually felt some sort of suspense at the beginning. The counts looked pretty badass, and their kats followed suit. Too bad nothing of value was lost, at least in regards to the story. I swear, someone needs to die for this war to be taken seriously anymore. I'm tired of seeing randoms be fodder just to remind us that war is dangerous. SHOW US SOME TRAGEDY. /rant I really liked all the characters this episode. We finally see Inaho experiencing physical pain because of the eye so I'm guessing by the end he will be similar to Sasuke Uchiha pre-Itachi eyes. Slaine's scenes were interesting as always. Seeing him as a general was really cool. Him realizing that he will never have a life with the Princess was sobering, but what the hell is he doing with Lemrina? He should notice that he is all she has. Her own half-sister doesn't even know she exists. One thing that really interests me is Slaine and Eddelrittuo's relationship. She seems to be the only one that he can voice his demons to, which is weird. She seems to actually care about him, even though she feels that what he is doing is wrong. She remembers Slaine from before he turned for the worse, and I can't imagine she will be indifferent towards his well-being. The one thing that I find confusing is Mazuurek's intentions. Like, remind me again why he is a count. He seems to have no problem stepping on fellow Martians in this feudal system, but he feels sympathy for terrans? Shouldn't he want Earth's resources to help his people? He seemed to be completely fine with how things were going before. What does he think will happen once everything is revealed? Does he even care? I guess he was friends with Saazbaum, so that is my only guess to why he seems so hellbent on exposing the truth. I realize that he is being used as the biggesst instrument of Slaine's demise in the story, but I hope we see some future sight or at least some ideas from his perspective. Maledict said: I really liked this episode. Even more character development for Slaine and a bit for Lemrina. He's got himself a princess, that's for sure, it's just not the one he wants. I'm very interested in what Mazuurek's role will be in all of this. Seems like Asseylum's got a partial memory loss, which is tolerable. The martians working together is a tough blow to Earth, the cliffhanger this episode was massive. Don't know how Inaho's gonna get out of this one. Honestly, my hatred of Slaine is slowly starting to disappear, and it's not because he's becoming likable, it's because he's undoubtedly the best character of the show, so it's hard to ignore his development. Everyone respects and fears him now, and with a few political maneuvers he managed to achieve what everyone else before him failed to, or lacked the brain capacity to do - uniting Vers. That last shot of him ''making his move'' was awesome. The second season is pretty solid. Are the whiners that rated this with a 1 because they couldn't swallow the fact that people don't necessarily die when shot finally gone now? 4.5/5 Hahaha, love how Asseylum and Inaho are thinking about eachother and at the same time there's a shot of two ships sailing. Toucanbird said: I don't know why this show gets a bad wrap. I think it's pretty cleverly written. The only thing I have against it is I do find Slaine's "rise to power" considering the mentality of Vers seems a bit rushed. He goes from essentially ordinary kid to crown prince in less than two years and everyone in the Vers Empire is accepting of that? That aspect of it doesn't seem right. Although, I'll give a lot of props to the writing of Slaine's character. He's actually downright brilliant. jdbe said: Totally agree with you, slaine is not insane for goodness sake. I know the majority of you hate him so obviously your gonna use "insane", as the best way to describe a character who, IMO, has been the SOLE character of any merit in the whole of season 2. I'm guessing a lot of people must find it difficult that inaho hasn't had as much influence this season than last season to be honest. I believe that slaines actions desperately need explaining, but I feel like someone who has united an empire which was squabbling a couple of episodes ago to one which is becoming more united to defeat earth is some feat for a mentally unstable guy. Sure we saw him fall apart at the sight of princess ass, but it's completely different now. So laughable. Don't get me wrong, slaine isn't a good character, but when you have a series which neglected 90% of the cast, it's a bit tough not to focus on him. With regards to him speaking to Eldirit- I forgot her name. He was opening up about the situation, plain and simple. I don't think Princess ass will fully hate him, she's too pampered to hate she'll at least be empathetic, and try to understand him. Well, we'll have to wait and see. I guess. ANGRY2011 said: deadoptimist said: Most of the active users among those who are not a part of anti-Slaine party – Savethebestforu, ANGRY2011 (please, correct me, ANGRY, if I am wrong), Viktor_Otaku, kymano, AlexGK, Makaze_no_Moujuu… Nah, we good. I'm not part of any party, I'm just an independent trying to finish the show, which I thought was revving up this season, but now might take a downturn for me. Slaine's (or as a wider whole - Vers') plot line is the only thing keeping me in the show at all (give major points to Lemrina, although that might now also blow up in my face). I find the battles to be underwhelming as a whole, with the exception of the space battles, which are somewhat more interesting. I think I've narrowed in on the reason for this being that the space battles usually had a more interesting amount of maneuverability, since the "gimmicks" of the Vers suits aren't usually very interesting, in my opinion, and groundside everyone seems to move like a snail or just stand still. I also find the (non) exploration of the Terran forces to be a sore point for me, because I don't have much more than surface level attachment to any of the Terran crew, and without any other developments it isn't all that interesting to me. On the Vers side at least we have Slaine, Lemrina, and Harklight (who are all at least more interesting to me on some level than most Terran characters - especially now that PTSD guy is just "cured"), and even if they are now starting to suffer from choices in writing or plot I wouldn't make, the overall plot elements surrounding the Vers forces are at least driving the story instead of reacting to it. I guess if I declared a party other than Independent, I'd choose the "I'm disappointed because I feel this was wasted potential" party. Dragon_Slayer_X said: I am tired of asking because you use "Most of the people" or "Most of use" several times. So you think you don't act as such but your words say otherwise. They don’t.

But lets ignore it as slaine-bashing and let's forget all the excuses made to justify his actions. Becoming a madman and being a complex character are two different things not connected directly, but often going together. A character becoming mad doesn't stop him from being complex. Though a character can be madly written, i.e. be a mess of traits and motivations, which may apply to Slaine.

Wow, so now being used by fujoshi only counts if the character is the bottom… I won’t post links to fujoshi fanarts, but you must’ve searched poorly to not see a lot of Inaho x Slaine yaoi. Each time I want to find any art for A.Z I stumble upon such works. Can’t imagine how you could miss it, unless Pixiv has suddenly drastically changed.

Stop quote Lelouch, is an insult to your character be compared with Slaine. Lelouch The reasons are different, not to mention their strategies and tactics that were along the anime explained through internal monologues, his character had as milestones their tactics and strategies. Slaine has nothing that asemelhe Lelouch This is a fact. |

I can talk this way about people I disagree with as in “Most of people who belong to anti Slaine faction are very stubborn”. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Yes he is such a complex character that now he has become the obsessive madman like some of us have been saying earlier. But lets ignore it as slaine-bashing and let's forget all the excuses made to justify his actions. Becoming a madman and being a complex character are two different things not connected directly, but often going together. A character becoming mad doesn't stop him from being complex. Though a character can be madly written, i.e. be a mess of traits and motivations, which may apply to Slaine. Dragon_Slayer_X said: deadoptimist said: I think that Inaho is a Gary Stu, but I don’t have a problem with you liking him until you start to attack other people because of that. If you do care about character progression, the first time you have shown it is in the quote above (the one about the motivation). But “obsessive jealous yandere” and “complete nutcase” are definitely not about writing – these are comments about personal qualities. Oh yes buzzwords, automatically lessens the value of any opinion in my eyes. I didn't really bother posting until some slainefans started to shit on Inaho and his fans just to justify Slaine's sins. He got some great character degradation but whether that makes me like or hate the character is still my choice. Besides those comments on personal qualities aren't wrong. Are we going into moral aspects again? If so then i have already said what needed to be said. What even. I have mentioned many times that I don't plan to change anyone's opinion. Dragon_Slayer_X said: Last time i checked it was mostly Slaine in uke position to other male characters or living in his dreamland with either princesses. I can hardly find pictures of Inaho but the few i found looks pretty badass. Like it or not, Slaine is an ideal fujoshi bait character. I still don't see the appeal of yandere characters though. Wow, so now being used by fujoshi only counts if the character is the bottom… I won’t post links to fujoshi fanarts, but you must’ve searched poorly to not see a lot of Inaho x Slaine yaoi. Each time I want to find any art for A.Z I stumble upon such works. Can’t imagine how you could miss it, unless Pixiv has suddenly drastically changed. Dragon_Slayer_X said: But i have already said this quite a few times. I replied to your post about "the main characters not dying" too if you don't remember. Whether it was meaningful or not depends on your or my perspective btw. Hm, I don’t remember it, so, I guess, it was ok. You were saying? |

I just grabbed the first thing that showed up on Tumblr. You think I'd waste time looking into this kind of brain rotting trash? Did you know that the fujoshi's were headcanoning how Cruhteo's son was from Slaine? Again. Fujoshi's are to be feared. Especially outside of their designated series. |

I like the counts so I was looking for the art with them, and I've seen a lot of things I'd rather unsee. >< No, fortunately I haven't known it... until now. Though I once read by mistake a fanfic about pregnant Abaddon from Warhammer 40k, so I am sure there is no boundaries for this shit... Personally I am particualr to fanarts with Slaine and Cruhteo having a father-parent realtionship, cause they look good together. But this sick stuff... no, just no. And I don't understand the passion of turning a hetero characters into gay characters. |

I thought we lost deadoptimist for a moment. Thankfully she understood the horrors of fujoshis at least. |

Hey, we may all have disagreements where all we do is yell back and forth and call each other names, but we're not CRAZY. |

BurntJelly said: His ship "broke down"... clever. This is not going to work out well for Slaine. Out of curiousity, is there any reason you're always a week behind the current episode? |

Watched the last two episodes back to back and they flowed really well. I used to be Team Slaine but I think his plans have gone haywire. |

Plot twist: Asseylum and Lemrina team up and get rid of Slaine. Asseylum makes peace with Earth, Lemrina can enjoy a normal life where no one expects anything from her on Earth, complete with a beatiful house next to a sea or whatever. I mean, all Lemrina seeks is solace. She certainly won't find it back on Vers, and if the Orbital Knights win, Earth will become Vers #2. Same people, same customs, same expectations etc. Her only hope is for peace between Earth and Vers, and one on good terms, not just because both sides are running out of resources or anything. And given how Vers treated Asseylum, and how Earth did, i don't think Asseylum had a change of mind. And with two princesses, none of the lickspitters that call themselves Vers nobility will even think about (re)starting a war against Earth. Especially not if the Counts themselves are divivded, and nobody even close to stepping in Saazbaums footprints (besides Slaine). Both princesses also have good reason to get rid of Slaine. Either kill him, imprison him, or send him back to Vers, where he won't harm (as many) innocent people. Won't happen, but one can dream.. |
