I cannot imagine that martians would allow a civilian to carry a weapon and pilot the dropship, it's possible that he had received a military training and had been conscripted. This might've lead to the conflict of loyalty and in consequence going nuts. Besides, being a tutor doesn't exclude being a soldier. He stole his gun from The first guy he shot and then stole it again from the guy he interrogated in the elevator. The only time he had a gun of his own was after Sazbaum |
meltyxblood said: i really hated inaho, im glad slaine shot him, and im excited for the next season, but i guess im the only slaine lover on this forums, other websites rooted for slaine. Seriously he was treated and thrown around like shit the whole series and this inaho guy does everything perfect no flaws, can destory the most OP mechs in the anime with the shittiest mech, doesnt matter, he just wins. I guess im tired of always seeing the good OP MC winning all the time. We need some evil up in this bitch. No worries. Inaho will be back and put down the rabid mad man that Slaine has become. |
| Terrible Ending. And that CGI transformation into the Uber Mecha was awkward. Like, sell some more Toys why don't you... |
| Why all the hate in Slaine? He did the right thing. /sarcasm. Slaine confirmed the biggest idiot, why does he even exist? His character is absolutely pointless. But Im glad he made the ending so overwhelming, I cant wait for next season. I will be so disappointed if Inaho lives. At least the princess can be alive due to some aldnoah asspulls, but Inaho should defenitely stay dead. 9/10 for the anime. |
| Dead? ... They are all dead?! And Slaine ran away with Asseylum's corpse.. This ending is amazing!! So unexpected! :D Just how the hell will they continue it?? This series was ... something. I was bored from ep 4 to 8 but that ending ... wow *°* Though now I'm sad all the main characters died.. I have nothing to say against the OST. The characters are were amazing. It was a great series. |
 |
| One of the worst endings I seen in years and Slain might be one of the most useless and stupid characters in of all of anime. Christ what a joke. |
M3k4toku said: It seems you still haven't grasped what the conflict is between Inaho and Hei. While most emotional development in DtB is mostly fake, you forfeit the only real emotional development in Inaho. If anything, I haven't seen you disprove me on the fact that Hei makes your statement about [no emotion =/= badass] moot.rsslayersr said: And yet you liked Darker than Black. Such Irony.. I liked Hei but hated Inaho. Reason why? Because Hei knew how to show emotion when needed. He could change persona depending on the situation and was no where as near as emotionless as Inaho was. He's also an assassin, not saying all assassins are emotionless but he showed more emotion than Inaho did. |
Kurokolist said: The ending was masterful. An amazing way to shift into a new focus. I suspected from the very beginning that Slaine was the true protagonist. He was simply in a much more vital role. Sure, he wasn't blasting mechs apart but he was in the thick of the conspiracy, being stationed within the Martian lines and witness to everything going on. He was fighting a one man war for the princess. What he went through in his quest and the tragic futility of it all was beautiful. I expect him to grow even further now that the first season has ended. Seeing his reaction to each and every little trial was great. Inaho is unnecessary. He was there to act as a diversion to fans, both a foil and impetus of growth for Slaine. I believe he and the princess truly died. All to set the stage. As for why Slaine can use the mech... His father was a renowned scientist and researcher of the technology was he not? I wouldn't be surprised if that mysterious father figure imparted something to Slaine. The stupidity and delusion of this post broke my scouter |
Kurokolist said: Slaine still sucks...I would be totally ok if that Saazbaum guy was the one doing the shooting...No matter what anyone thinks Stupidity in the last episode was cringeworthy and far from being masterful or amazing,lol...Darklight0303 said: The stupidity and delusion of this post broke my scouter I knew you would chirp in, considering you are the most viciously vocal forumite around here. I get that you want Inaho's D and can't properly read into the more nuanced aspects of the story and characters as they are presented... but try and be more positive bro! Like Slaine's KDA ratio. |
 |
| Somehow the ending didn't really faze me at all. I was kinda like meh, cuz that's how I felt about the entire show. The OST is dope though. I wouldn't be surprised if the Princess and Inaho are actually alive for the 2nd season. |
 |
| Had a feeling slaine would do all of this, atleast I can be certain for my hatred towards him. Very much looking forward to season 2. |
| Too much CG in this last episode. The whole mecha fight was too dragged out and wasted a lot of time. At least the last few minutes of the episode were good. Despite all the bad writing and mediocre characters, this show never left me feeling bored. Now I'll have to watch 2nd season. |
 |
| So this war will go on... with Inaho and Asseylum missing... My heart was broken after seeing the princess presumably dead... but only presumably... Besides, the cliffhanger ending feels terribly artificial, like they made Slaine save the villain out of no reason just for the sake of prolonging the series. |

| If not for Inaho i would give it 8/10, I'm glad his dead, and i hope he stays that way. Kiritism should be punishable. |
| Was it Yuki narrating at the end? |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
Primus2x said: Was it Yuki narrating at the end? yes |
| Like Ken Tanaka's book for kids "Everybody Dies". Just shoot everyone down to finish the season, splendid. I hope Slaine doesn't turn into a complete freak in the second season, because despite him shooting Inaho I still think he's a good guy, don't want to be disappointed. |

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... If the princess is dead is ok, but Inaho and Slaine are like the yin and yang. |

| ... .... Fuck that shit Slaine |
mapokl said: If not for Inaho i would give it 8/10, I'm glad his dead, and i hope he stays that way. Kiritism should be punishable. WTF is Kiritism, if you are somehow going to make believe that Inaho is so OP do i need to remind you that he won every battle WITH help from his teammates. Since when is being smart considered being OP. Since when did tacticians become a fantasy? |

Since when is being smart considered being OP. Since when did tacticians become a fantasy? Inaho might not be OP but the show was super biased on him that makes some scenes look stupid... I agree on the points this guy said...-->http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1274291&show=1880#msg35270369 and additional is the first Martian Knight(the violet one).. when that robot fell on the water it was like "OMG i can't move everything is paralized because I fell in the water", so Inaho then stabbed him and explained first his observations before killing him... Like WTF is wrong with that Martian.. why didn't he attacked, Inaho is right in front of him, and the only damage on his robot is the underarm part.... then another Knight came after several days.. this time it was the one with a sword... so he did another fuckshit thing again.. he allowed Inaho to finish a whole round of bullets on him, then reload and then try a different set of bullets on him.. It was like what's wrong with that martian? why didn't he attacked Inaho while reloading... Inaho was just a single robot(cause that time his friends are still hiding) compared to the first set of guys he encountered which is about 3 robots by the way... To your first point i will repeat what i said, Inaho was the tactician, he came up with the plans. There was not one time that he defeated his enemy without the help from someone else. He wasn't out of place, he was a leader who directed his trooops. To your second point, Inaho pretty much rushed him when he fell to the water. Not only was the martian caught by surprise, who knows how much damage that stab did to the circuits. Plus attacking someone that close range to you would probably be difficult if you don't have the upperhand. To your last point, the guy with the sword pretty much walked the entire time he was attacking everyone else. He was pretty much toying with everyone, even with Inaho. He didn't feel in danger at all, so why would he all of a sudden rush to attack inaho when he didn't do it any other time. Doesn't matter how many "robots" were there, he basically was swatting at flies. |

| Ep 1 to 11. I'd give a 9 out of 10. Ep 12... 1 out of 10. Serious wtf was with that ending? Are they trying to be GoT? There was no point or reason in why both the main MC's had to die. It just made it look like a cheap kills to try and shock the viewers. Made no sense and killed the point of the whole story in the end... or maybe thats what its trying to show.. that one idiot can ruin everything everyone has fought for in a instant... goddammit. I'm interested in the 2nd season just to see who mains it though... If it is Slaine f*ck that shite I'm out. Most useless guy in the whole of anime... even worse than Shinji from eva.. and its hard to top him. lol. |

| @kingcity20 I don't want to pinpoint everything to you.. just figure out what does the picture in this spoiler tells.. that's all, I don't want to argue with you anymore, cause you seem to be a fanboy.. |
| for now the first season is a 6/10 if not for the last episode, Ill give the second season a shot, but if the princess and Inaho are dead im out. and it's a 4/10. Why kill the most interesting characters off without a true backup plan. and Slaine needs to disappear, he had his chance to save the one he loved and completely ditched it for that evil piece of sh*te. Then proceeded to kill the one that's been protecting her, and i'm pretty sure he knew it. But hey, if they pull it off and bring both of them back and make slaine the new enemy, 10/10 |
| Holy mother of fuck, that was a powerful ending. The show started off somewhat unenjoyable, but during those last few episodes it kept building and building and BUILDING to that amazing climax. The resistance the earthlings put up was futile. All of their major urban centres were wiped out, their population a fraction of what it once was, and they barely managed to take on 1 landing craft out of who knows how many. Slaine was by far the best character. His efforts are ultimately pointless. The man he saved kills the woman he loves. He's the Darth Vader of this universe: he's not the protagonist, but the entire story revolves around his struggles, suffering, and eventual demise. But aside from Slaine, the only noteworthy character was the lieutenant. Most of the characters sucked: especially that fag Inaho. |

So I prove to you why your argument is faulty, I give you good examples and reasoning. Then you resort to calling me a fanboy? Ever heard of an Ad Hominem. Your picture proves nothing, we don't know the inner mechanics of that machine. Plus fighting back against someone who rushed you and is now at point blank range is difficult regardless of how much more powerful you are. You're right we're done arguing. |

| Ehh I didn't care about those characters enough to be affected by their "deaths." The Princess and Inaho both piss me off, but I hate the princess more. She made so many bad decisions one after the other and needs to stay dead. This is very doubtful though. I guess I'll watch the first few episodes of season 2 out of curiosity, but if both of them are still alive then I'm dropping it. PS: Considering that Inaho betrayed Slaine and caused him to get captured/tortured, I kind of don't blame him for shooting Inaho. Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't think he did it out of jealousy (because of the princess), but rather out of revenge? Well that's my take on it anyway. |
