| This is basically the closest I can get of an Heavy Object adaptation, if it ever gets one. Screw OP stupid robots, vive le McGai... Strategie ! |
| It'll probably explain why MC acts emotionless and stoic. With 2 cours, it has enough time to explain why and more so his backgrounds. I prefer an MC that acts like that compared to a hotblooded one that is common in a lot of mecha series. Still I like the main characters fight using, wits, tactices, and teamwork rather than finding an OP mech and using it. |
| Kind of zoned out during the second but good episode nevertheless. Ost's great as usual. Looking forward to next week |

Chabe said: opondica said: I don't get why people think this is stupid. It's not like it's completely unheard of for a small force with a technological advantage to defeat a larger, poorly equipped one. For instance, if I am reading the "Capture of Atahualpa" section at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_conquest_of_the_Inca_Empire#Capture_of_Atahualpa correctly, it seems like the Spanish defeated a force of 7000 and captured the Incan ruler with only 168 soldiers. That is a completely different situation, not comparable in the slightest. Why? |

| Definitely the weakest episode so far, but still not bad by any means. Score stays at 10/10. I love all the main characters so far. Inaho>Tatsuya (ok, I could be biased here, cose Miyuki pisses me off to no end, but still). Also Slaine not spilling the beans like a fool is a nice change. Great stuff. Even Inko and Calm still feel relevant. Fingers crossed they keep up the story quality. GodlyKyon said: Feyfray said: This show is so underrated this season.

Some of the hate is legitimate criticism that could pave the way for improvements that could possibly make the show enjoyable for certain people and others are just people who rather than provide meaningful critiques or analysis, say 'this show sucks [insert curse word here], how can anyone like this'. Pave the way for improvement? Are you fuckin serious? Japan couldn't give a toss about what our so called criticism is and you're delusional if you think otherwise. |
GodlyKyon said: Feyfray said: This show is so underrated this season. Great episode Have you checked how many comments there are each ep? What does that have to do with rating? Half of the comments are angsty tryhard teenagers that shit on literally every anime that comes out. Akame ga Kill is at 8.24 and Tokyo Ghoul is at 8.23 and I think this show is better than both. |
|
| Have a feeling the soundtrack's going to get started getting annoying if they keep using that one song all the time. |
 |
| Very nice ! I like it ! |
Ixsiehn said: CallMeIshmael said: In the show I saw, Inaho is clearly just extremely reserved, and other details the critics have failed to perceive: 4:24 Inaho smiles 5:33 Inaho surprised/raised eyebrows open mouth 5:54 Inaho "glares" at sister's insinuation of hooking up with princess 8:57 Inaho sad/cynical, perhaps from having seen people at their worst because of the whole cold war thingie, which will be told in a later episode. the nuanced 16:05 military (adults) doing what it does best: logistics - "an army marches on its stomach" (napoleon?) 17:29 Inaho requests princess to stay, then a little more forcefully 18:35 Inaho experiments with different rounds, tactics when not effective instead of expecting everything to fall into his lap because he's special 18:54 When sauteing, heat the pan and oil before adding the food, you can tell when with the Leidenfrost Effect - a drop of water dances around and lasts a lot longer - The More You Know (also what a hot enough plasma sword would do to bullets in real life) 20:50 Inaho dryly suggests they withdraw 21:25 Inaho's (out of character) recklessness is Serious Business, foreshadowing/backstory related Assorted Times: reasonable authority figures are seen preventing panicking ship pilot from hitting debris, being sort of busy with whole resupply and evacuation logistics and fixing engine, (13:34 marito being obviously PTSD) - Inaho&Co only temporarily equal the adults in importance (in world) when fighting the Martian Knight) Nuanced storytelling SHOWS you details organically and requires you to fill in the (hopefully) clear connecting narrative, 2nd grade what I did over summer vacation is a laundry list of TELLING "I did this and this and this". Some people dislike nuanced, better storytelling/heros/etc - there's plenty of homer simpson/idiot hero harem/shonen/etc genre shows - those people should kindly help themselves and the fans of this show enjoy themselves BY EACH WATCHING SHOWS THEY LIKE. The Internets is such a tsundere I confess to not knowing enough about music to tell "similar sounding yet unique" and "similar sounding and copypasta" TL;DR Watch the show as it is, not what you imagine it to be, or princess asseylum will shoot you in the face.

I seriously don't get the hate at all, seems like a lot of biased BS to me. I actually liked this original post, because it makes a claim about the show and supports it with what is essentially citations from the 'text,' allowing anyone who cares to verify it for themselves. But holy shit I'm sick of the "stop watching shows you don't like, because I don't want to hear anyone complain about my favorite show" attitude. I like to complain. I watch shows that I don't like because I like whining about how shitty they are. This isn't real life, where I can yell really loudly and you have to plug your ears to avoid hearing me. I'm not making you read my comments. It might be nice if this site had some sort of filtering option, but when it comes down to it, nobody is making you read my comments. I'm not sorry that I derive enjoyment from your favorite anime in a way that is different from you. |

| Awesome episode as usual. Slain took a level in badass, Inaho proves that he is already badass (through his mindset and tactics), Inko became cute even though she has short hair (don't like that at all on females) and the action was on spot as was the music. Growing to like this show more and more with each passing Episode :3 |
 |
| Oh man another good episode, I haven't enjoyed a good mech series in a long time and that way Inaho is playing his cards got me sucked in heavily :D Brawn against boss brains :) Only that, the animation was superb and the OST did not disappoint :) |

It would just look like overhyped shit to people who just check the stats to decide what to pick up this season. How do you exactly give such a high score to a show given that there are so many flaws? It's not underrated, in fact, seven is about exactly how it should be at this point. The vast majority of the cast are pretty dull, the story line is full of holes unexplained so far. This show is above average, yes, but it's not an 8 yet. And if you look at many other series that rival this one in quality, they've hardly gotten reviews above this. We will have to see how this plays out to rate it higher than a 7 something. opondica said: Chabe said: That is a completely different situation, not comparable in the slightest. Why? At this point with the nobility and shit, I am almost sure that many mecha are actually based off of that event in history. |

| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Ok, the sword tricks were quite laughable. It almost feels as if Aldnoah has a few too many side-characters for it to adequately handle, as the newest Knight is also another rather unimaginative character (at this point) and literally came out of nowhere. While an entertaining intermediary episode, there seem to be a dangerous number of subplots drifting around without attention. |
| This is it! I absolutely love everything about this anime!!! And this OST is just pure eargasm :) |
| That awesome ED music simply accentuated the action. Inaho displays his brain power into battle again. An enjoyable episode once again! |
| Signature |
| Hmm. Probably the weakest episode so far, but it's setting up more plot so it's not too bad. The OST is so god damn amazing. One of the main reasons I keep coming back for more. |
| I enjoyed the battle of wits this time too, if they keep this up I'm gonna love this show. Also, I enjoy seeing Slaine being molested by Cruhteo's cane. We got to see a change of attitude of the MC, because of the princess ..? I just hope this doesn't turn out in a love triangle with the MC, Slaine and Sailor Moon. |
 |
| Inaho has become quite the calm and collected badass! He's far from emotionless as people have already pointed out and clearly the war and the people surrounding him are already having a profound impact on him and his personality. Looking forward to the next episode. Great series! |

opondica said: Chabe said: That is a completely different situation, not comparable in the slightest. Why? Think about it. A bunch of soldiers with little experience & training and next to no equipment versus large men on large unknown beasts with loud and deadly weapons that can kill without any sign of a projectile actually firing, only puffs of smoke. Oh, the Spanish also had cannons. Everything they were up against was far outside of their level of experience, of course they'd rout. The 168 soldiers didn't actually kill them all, they scared them. In Aldnoah you've got a somewhat technologically superior force versus men who's experience isn't too dissimilar from what they're up against. The soldiers are literally trained to combat such things, they don't rout, they're killed. It's a completely different type of victory. |
| Nice OST. Inaho's still smart, but he needs to show some more emotion, though. Not as good as the third episode, but still a pretty solid episode. 4/5 for me. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
Tokoya said: This episode was good yet again...Loving the MC more and more with each episode too and I think he likes the princess :'') This wasn't as good as last weeks' imo but I really like the new Mars Mecha Samurai thing The OST was amazing as usual, animation was on point yet again and everything in this episode just flowed really well :) I want that Ending song ASAP and also, I really hope that Slain is secretly going to be sabotaging the Martians I'll be in conflict if Inaho ends up liking the princess and if Slaine ends up having romantic feelings for the princess. xD Still gotta wait for more character interaction before I make any decisions. I hope we get to know more about ALDNOAH technology. I remember seeing a comment talking about how MC won't be using the ALDNOAH technology hence the ALDNOAH.ZERO title. xD And that was one strong exoskeleton arm...I thought that was pretty funny, and its strength actually became useful later in the episode. Will you be able to memorize this ED though? I don't think I can. xD There's like 3 languages... (Japanese, English, and...yep.) |
I couldn't complete Hunter x Hunter characters in Shironeko Project... ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡ |
| The MC is such a ridiculously stupid (not literally) character. I get that people are tired of the whole "overemotional protagonist who wins with the power of friendship", but come on, this is just as bad. Knows a fucking missile is going to be fired at a convoy in a dense crowd? No reaction. His friend dies right in front of his fucking face? No reaction. Executing a plan that could determine the lives of everyone around him? No. Fucking. Reaction. What is he, a psychopath? Do they realise that even "calm and logical" humans don't act like that? They don't "not experience emotions", they control them. This guy is more robotic than the damn mech he pilots. Secondly, why the FUCK is Earth's defense force so pathetic? I understand the Martians have "Aldnoah" (whatever that is), but that explains nothing. Even if the Martians have that much of a technological advantage, the Terran military should still be able to put up some sort of fight, or at least form some sort of coherent strategy. If a bunch of high school kids can do it, a military force of Earth (which should by all rights be way stronger than the Martian military - like, what's the US doing? As if they wouldn't have technology that matches the Martians) should not be getting wrecked like they are. Can we see a few scenes where the Terrans successfully attack a Martian Fortress and kill some mechs through numbers or tactics or whatever? I refuse to believe the entirety of the Terran military is incapable of strategically winning some battles. All that said, the overall feel and direction is quite good, and DAMN the music. I just really hope that this will become about a WAR and not a one-sided bulldoze (except for the main characters, cos plot armour), since those are rarely interesting. Oh, and fuck the MC. Slaine is 100000000x times better, and in fact, every other character is quite good. |

| 18:21 ohh yehh 19:41 powow 8.5/10 for this episode. Dear SUNRISE, please learn from A1 Pictures and TROYCA. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Thread Fixed For some reason it wasn't showing pages. |

| When i was watching the episode, i felt the quality of the dialogue and scenes aren't as professional as the previous episodes, and then i open this thread and OH MY GOD im super shocked! so the third episode was the last episode written by Urobuchi?!!!!! :'( The first three episode was so awesome, the fourth was... okay... but im sure by the end of the season, this anime will go down as the next polished pile of shit with gorgeous animation like gargantia.... :'( IM SAD!!!!! |
| Curious to see what Slaine would do next.As always there is never a dull moment in this anime so far. And Inaho's decision to no tell the others of Princess Asseylum was good...you never know what desperate, angry people can/might do. It's sad to see that this anime is only going to be 12 episodes though. |
| Way too good Sawano there, yes. Inaho starts to seem like an interesting person now. |
