Sad to say I saw it coming when princess died the silence of when she came to inaho side then the bang. Inaho dead too wtf Slaine is such a pain in the end. He didn't help the cause at all only made things worse.

Well, we didn't quite see a headshot on the princess, but Inaho... unlikely it isn't a headshot.

I know I am going to get a lot of flak from the inaho fans, but I am glad slaine shot him in the head. He was pissing me off with always having the solution to every fucking problem.

I would love it if Slaine turns into a colder, less naive person from this experience. Then in season 2 he interferes in every battlefield and slaughters everyone he comes across

Haha, I loved the fact that there was for once a different type of MC. All MC's always get so human and emotional all the time. I don't mind it being a bit less.

Inaho was right in his assessment at Tanegashima. He truly was the enemy

To all those saying there will be a season 2, they never said there will be another season. All they said at the end was Next January A.D.2015. Please at least take note next time thanks. Also, tbh I would be disappointed if they pulled out some martian technology to revive both seylum and inaho due to it being very spontaneous and out of the blue. Not only that but they have killed the 2 characters with the most potential in this whole show. This show has kinda made me disappointed with that ending. I know its probably a cliff hanger but those shots were clearly head shots. Head shot = Dead.
I would of rated this show a 9 but with how they handled the ending and announcing a continuation in January, I'm just a little disappointed with it and I'm giving it a 7.

Watch us learn that the princess's grandfather have a secret that whenever she is killed, she revives or has a another double like the last time. If that happens, I will presume she is a god :p, Slaine, advice for you, you get caught by either side, you are dead cause know you are a rogue and also did not kill Saazbaum considering you did not shoot him fatally!


Yeah I am thinking Princess will asspull revive and then revive Inaho "returning the favor" for ntrkissingsaving her


if that happens i will drop second season on the spot. cant give this show more than 7/10. it really went down hill quickly.

Although I already knew they would do this but still I'm hating it!

Gonna give this shit a 6 score overall. That Natsuki Hanae and Sora Amamiya should retire already! Both of them starred (as voice actors) on Tokyo Ghoul and this shitty Aldnoah.Zero which are Both Complete Trash!

Inaho had quite some difficulties facing Saazbaum. His transformed Kataphrakt was badass though!
Once again, cool Inaho finds a flaw in the Martian technology and aims at it to take Saazbaum down.

What the hell was Slaine doing!? Until the very end, it was unclear what his motive was. Saved Saazbaum from Inaho just to see him killing Asseylum right in front of him. Serves him right though!
Also, why must Inaho point his gun at Slaine when he was about to collapse anyways? Was he offended that Slaine told him not to touch Asseylum? Probably.
Perhaps, Slaine should've killed himself too. That would've been great.~ XD

Anticlimactic ending to end the first season. End remark stated that Asseylum's whereabouts are unknown. I take it that she lives?

She lives or Slaine is going to be the Mr. Freeze of season 2 who keeps the princess in suspended animation in some giant tube.

I don't get why Slaine was hesitating on which side to take. Shouldn't he be mad at Saazbaum for trying to kill the princess? Instead,

WOW, WHAT AN ENDING! LMAO I AM CRYING IN TEARS! OMG!! I TOLD YOU ALL THAT I WOULD LAUGH FOR 3 HOURS STRAIGHT IF THIS WAS THE CASE!

Remember those times where people said there was a reason for Inaho being all stoic? Nope, none, no backdrop for him, no development, none. Even the creators knew they fucked up with him so they just killed him off.

Sorry if this is rather ranty but this episode was an utter flop to me.

Anyway.. the rest of the episode... The CGI looked terrible this episode, usually it's pretty alright but the transformation sequence looked VERY awkward and VERY fake.

Saazbaum will end the cycle of hatred... by using hatred...? Kay.

"As I thought, he lowers his barrier when he shoots out his arms". Uh huh, now tell us how you came to that conclusion, or at least show it... no? okay whatever.

All soldiers except for Inaho are complete incompetents as usual. Of course Inaho dies in the end though. All the side characters seem out of commission as well. By the way, I was so very touched by Inaho remembering the time he spent with the Princess. All those scenes they shared together... all like... 4 of them... Ya.. Quite the relationship huh? I was TOTALLY invested... >_>

Slaine activates Aldnoah... How? Not explained. Kay, whatever. Sure it will be in the 2nd half, won't be watching though.

I legitimately feel like this entire first half of the show was entirely pointless. All it was was spending half the episodes getting to a secret base only to have everyone die there. What was the point of making these guys the main focus?

Are u guys sure Urobuchi wasn't the one responsible for this one because that was some first degree urobutchering that occurred there O_O

HOLY F***n SHIT!!

This ending felt so surreal!

I couldn't really believe it when Seylem got shot in the lungs but for her to get shot in the head after that was O_o?!?! ARE U SERIOUS?!

The scene with Inaho dragging himself to reach her while remembering the time they spent together then being shot in the F***n head by Slaine was friggin unbelievable XD

I actually thought this will be ending like CG with the blacking out screen. Never did I expect that Inaho would really be shot O_O

And Slaine even killed Saazbaum :O I can see an Emo Slaine being the MC of S2. Not really looking forward to that <_<

RIP Seylem, RIP Inaho. May they both end up together in heaven :P

That was a F***ed up ending! I'm quite surprised that Seylem was written off as missing at the end. Slaine took her body? Is there really no way for Inaho and her to be alive? They're the best things about this show >.<!! D:

Two other characters are supposedly dead... on the show, where no one dies.

Wow, this kind of twist, THIS KIND OF TWIST, Urobutcher is the master (considering that he is the original creator). Thank you.

Its okay for me that he killed Saazbaum but INAHO?! WHAT THE HECK? And even Asseylum was killed by this Count. AHAHAHAHAHARRRRRGH, 8/10, can't wait for the second season.

Having watched the episode with subs now I have to admit I found the episode actually not half bad up until the actual showdown part where Inaho is largely effortlessly able to defeat Sauzbaum in his overwrought chimera of a mech due to that typical one crucial weakness thing. Then it somehow turns into a double K.O when he does what looks like challenging him to some sort of last duel for some reason acting all defiant and then the characters basically all go nutso and start babbling about god knows what philosophies. The only bit that kind of made any sense was the part where Inaho talk about how large scale conflicts typically end historically, either one side satisfies the conditions they started the conflict for in the first place (historical imperial conquests or rebellions) or the cost of life becomes so great that they decide to end it (WWI). After that it's like ????? especially with Sauzbaum and Slaine's actions and dialogue.

Well the mission is a resounding success and unsurprisingly Inaho and Asseylum all but single handedly deliver the victory to Earth but for some reason everyone has to die because they need a cliffhanger ending yet it just doesn't strike me as making much sense the way the characters acted in the final 5 minutes. Then again these characters have barely ever clicked for me so that's not much of a surprise. I really kind of hope that Inaho and Asseylum stay dead because they kind of need to start over here, though how they continue from here or what's left to do or prove I honestly have no idea. I don't really think it matters though, it's basically just a hype show to fill time anyway.

Well that is why it is my opinion and score on my list..

But as Slaine was introduced i knew i'd probably end up hating him, i did not liked Princess too.. but inaho.. as many people are saying that he became 'invincible' with his tactics and his skills what about the Vers Empire? was it not OP with their Aldnoah drive?

He has no excuse for saving Sazbaum. That alone makes him not worth pity and only scorn
