Vanihm said: Darklight0303 said: Leaving him behind was indeed a mistake that I won't deny. Shooting him down however was justified as Slaine shot him first instead of answering his questions Saline didn't shoot first - just pointed a cannon at him. That was prestty stupid, but you could hear from Slaines voice "are... you...?" That he was hesitating enough to explain that the princess was there of her own volition. Or just make up some lame excuse. Besides, Inaho's questions were really wierd... "what if she is being exploited?" What are you supposed to say to that? If Inaho really had had some kind of sinister motive than that would have been a cool scene, but instead he goes up in the next scene and asks if she feels she is being exploited. Lame. He did shoot first. Look at the scene again. You see the Double Barrel of the turretr fire first and then Inaho's gun fire one fraction of a second after. The weird question came after Slaine already ignored the opening question. Sorry. Slaine fucked up every step of the way |
| The princess is totally alive. That necklace Slaine gave her. It was a lucky charm. It's clearly one of those things that have Tezuka Zone ability, given earlier in the series then saves them from death (bullet shot in the case of Seylum). Let justice be done though the heavens fall. Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Piso's justice. Don't you think it has been reenacted in this series? |

| Huh, this kind of ending. Having some mixed feelings. I liked how the showdown turned out between the mechas, but the ending? I have no idea. I get this feeling Slaine could be an antagonist or somekind of anti-hero in the next season. Especially since he's got a mecha of his own now. |

| So Slaine saves the guy he knows is trying to kill the princess but then gets surprised when he goes ahead and kills her? I'm pretty sure at least one out of Inaho and the princess is still alive. Lets just wait and see. |

azuredrak said: Takana_no_Hana said: Please people don't tell me that you believe Inaho was really dead, plot twist: no he is not. This kind of setting which kills mc then several episode later on he comes back is not rare to see(aka shingeki no kyojin). Whatever though, since I'm not interested in Inaho, its quite amusing to watch Slaine break down after Hime was shot, and I do believe that she is dead, for real this time. I don't think it is about whether the main characters are dead, rather, it is about how absurd the plot development would be if they aren't dead. Princess shot in the back, then shot in the head. Inaho shot in the head. How are they going to keep these characters alive? By gathering the dragonballs? We never see Princess being clearly shot in the head and we heard helmet-thingy-sound soshe is 100% surely alive. Inaho is ~75% surely alive. |

| It's not like Inaho and princess would be the first characters to ever survive a headshot. |
|
| People can die from smaller injuries, but of course when it comes to main characters they will stay alive even when they are shot a few times and lying there in a pool of blood for quite some time. Because they're main characters. Ugh I can't believe this shit they're giving us. If they really stay alive this is gonna become laughable. |
Darklight0303 said: thor94 said: How many time we must repeat: Slaine open the shot FIRST, inaho just hit back, the only difference is Slaine is terrible as accuracy and inaho is good sniper. and inaho is not stupid to let a martian soldier meet the princess without explanation after all other martian attempted to kill her. Feels like you're talking to a wall doesn't it? You'd think the pages upon pages from that episode would have hammered the point home but noooooooooooooooooooooooope. Lol, it's not like it changes the fact that he still pointed his gun against him, does it? He told him to step away from the princess but nope. Inaho could've made that decision himself. And so, he shot. I don't think he had the right state of mind to make empty threats. Why are you still arguing about this? I've stated my opinion and you won't change yours, I've achieved my goal. |

| Nice Ending. It success makes me laugh.. |

| Slaine could activate Aldnoah, so we know that something weird is going on. One could think as far as "maybe he received something from Asseylum when she saved his life?" You know, she more or less kissed him. Know who else has kissed the princess? Inaho. Asseylum had no double when she was "killed" in the first episode - she's immortal. So is Inaho. |

We don't even if it was Slaine who activated the Aldnoah Drive in Tharsis, Cruhteo could be alive for all we know, given that he could deactivate the drive by his will to fake his death, though the chances are quite slim, it's not impossible. |

And if they're dead there's no point in having a 2nd season (a few OVAs maybe but an entire season?) which is why exactly this ending was at the worst possible place. There's no way they can pull a 2nd season that's good at this point. They should have just left it as it is. |

EasyGo-er said: Hanasanaide said: That was such an obvious lie. What lie? lol Maybe Edel is on the whole thing? Or Asseylum might be the one lying to everyone. Ooooor something even more complex than that? Well well, it's either something like that or we're just thinking too much about it and the show is just another cliché (which it has already has proven itself to be when it comes to character relations)~ But I feel like it could happen. |

chickenonthepan said: From Animesuki forum http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-27068.html 虚淵氏「アルドノアのラストは俺のせいじゃねぇーからっ」「原案ではイナホと姫は恋仲になり姫がスレインに 連れ去られて1話が終わる話だった」 先にいっとくとサイコパス２期で誰か死んでも俺のせいじゃねぇから！冲方さんだから！」 He said that: Urobuchi Gen: "Aldnoah's final episode isn't my fault." "In my original scenario, the final episode saw Inaho and Asseylum 'becoming lovers' before she gets taken away by Slaine." "If you're ahead [of Psycho Pass], it is not my fault if someone also dies in Psycho Pass 2! It is Ubukata-san's." Well, isn't that basically what happened? This new writer just want to dramatize things and create cliffhanger... I can guarantee that both Inaho and Asseylum are alive. Also, stop blaming Gen for this. His ending is way more optimistic... So we can assume that both are alive and the new writer just added more drama and a cliffhanger.. |
| Thank God, I am so glad Inaho finally died, I had been begging to god for Slaine to kill that faggot for the past 11 episodes. Sad to see the Innocent Militarily/Politically illiterate princess peach die, but to see Inaho get his face blown off by Slaine... the sacrifice was worth it :D God Inaho was the worst character in this series.... Can't wait for season 2, without Inaho, it can only get better :D. Thought I am semi-hoping/thinking that the Princess will come back and we will have a nice Slaine banging Princess scene. Well its Gen. Urobuchi, it was weird for him not to kill her twice, but it explains why, because her death this episode was a lot more powerful than it would've been before. And I can't wait for Slaine's character development in the next season :D If Princess died earlier then maybe even Inaho would get some development lol. |

There's going to be no development other than him spiraling into the role of a villain since that's what his pathetic husk is good for anymore |

Try looking at it from his perspective maybe then you'll realise how wrong you are? |
| I thought it was hilarious they tried to pass the CPR scene as a romantic connection between Inaho and the princess. I liked the show and enjoyed the battles. As always, Sawano's music complement action very well. As far as Slaine goes, can't judge his actions without any insight. Rather than a good/bad character, I'd say he had no character. Their actions are dictated by plot. Same with most of the others. Considering the writing in this show, I'd be surprised if they can actually stay dead. |

He fails as a character in every possible way and is nothing but a bruised beaten dog that's gone rabid at the end of this season. |
| Dat OP theme. Dat new robot. Dat Inaho kicking ass as always. DAT spanking Megazord/Voltron fusion upgrade. Dat Inaho kicking ass again. Dat retarded Slaine #1 pointing a hand gun at a giant Lego robot. Dat giant robot fist fight. Dat poor loli (hope she's dead). Dat unexplained Tharsis power on. Dat envious Saazbaum. Dat retarded Slaine #2 saving Saazbaum, when the princess is literally within a 100 meter radius at most. Dat shot on princess. Didn't get the heart though :( Dat headshot on princess. Inb4 she's still alive next cour. Dat retarded Slaine #3 killing Inaho for no reason (well maybe he blames Inaho for bringing princess to the castle and causing her death, which would make him a hypocrite or in denial since he is also equally, if not mostly, at fault. Or just crazy/retarded). "Her whereabouts are unkown." Yup, good chance of staying alive. Not much hope for Inaho but I would be surprised if they are both dead. Action was entertaining I guess, 2.5/5 episode. Was not that great of a finale, cliff hanger was obvious too and based on this cour everything will still be okay next season. 7/10 series. Will watch second cour, hopefully it gets better. |

I don't think you have, at least not properly, because if you had, then you'd understand Slaine's actions. Instead you offer nothing but unchecked vitriol. |
Vlazeon said: TheIMF said: You must be exhausted hating on Slaine so much as of late. Try looking at it from his perspective maybe then you'll realise how wrong you are? His perspective sucks, he finds out that Vers wants to kill the princess and proceeds to tell high ranking people most likely in the loop about it before maybe alerting the Earth forces or something logical, he leads Vers right to the princess when he escapes to somehow help her despite being useless and then ends everything on a high note by saving the man that wanted her dead. Asseylum was working together with the Earth as far as anyone with a clear mind could tell but he only cared about himself and his delusions to see that he was trampling all over her good intentions. Bonus: his good luck charm sucks. All true |
| 2nd part will be pointless without the princess, won't watch if she's really dead. |

| Bad ending makes me want second season. Poor Slaine, you gonna pay :D |
 |
| I still have this split opinion.. One says "Oh god, Slaine is a psychotic stalker, he'll so die in the second cour" and the other one says "B-but, I like Slaine D;" ._. I still can't get it into my head, even with all these stupid discussions I still feel so empty. Remember his speech? Remember the first scene, where he bids farewell? The flashbacks? I never thought they'd turn such a sweet character into what he became in the final minutes, it ruined everything for me. And I still can't hate him. It's eleven episodes against one. Fuck me and my shipping problems. |
