Though A.Z has mostly gone over the line of "not even worth trying to analyze" lately. And I have stopped watching the Inaho's side some time ago. (...wait, there was a confession by Inko, as far as I heard, maybe that's worth watching...) |

Started watching this show with great expectations .Now its hit rock bottom for me.One more episode and am done with this series.I feel like the creators have taken the fans for a ride.They spend 23 episodes fueling the InahoXAsseylum and the SlaineXAsseylum ships and in the second last episode,they bring a guy out of nowhere and make him her fiance.Bullshit. |

MetaKite said: CynicofSinope said: Your quote is all messed up so I'm cutting them out. See, now you are being patronizing. Bravo! Now you understand the context in and why I have accused DarkLight of such. You are so kind to help me when I never asked you for help and of course, you don't mean for it to be any actual "help". I am a big girl and don't need to report anyone's post that I feel uncomfortable with since I have no problem calling people out on their bullshit. Or "shots fired" as you put it earlier? You must be a lonely boy if such small compliments can make you blush.You're more than welcome. Your compliments are making me blush, I could almost vomit. I think you're old enough(hopefully) that you understand you are in no way being force to read or respond to anyone on this forum, and generally in life. In the event you "feel" you are being forced to read/write a post you are not comfortable with, might I recommend that you feel free to hit the report button next to whatever desired item of interest you seek to report. Doing this will direct you to a dialog window where you can relate your qualms there rather than you did here. In a few hours to days(worst case), expect a moderator to get back to you, giving you another opportunity to relate your qualms once again. Since you are a big boy(I hope) I am not going to go through all the trouble this time to include a link for you. However, in the event that you require extra assistance, feel free to reply to this post once more. You could easily argue that I am being sarcastic, and some would even argue for cynicism, but let's go with patronizing, whatever floats your boat guy. Anyway, continuing on, obviously since you have once again replied to me, I shall provide you with a link to report your qualms to a moderator: http://myanimelist.net/modules.php?go=report. Be careful guy, don't want to make a fool of yourself trying to use "big words" again. Also, if you have "no problem calling people out on their bullshit." Why are we having this conversation again? |

When was this, I need timestamp and episode number, because I want to go back and watch that scene. That would suck if I missed it. Also, you're right, as someone else previously in this thread said, you have to turn your brain off to watch A/Z. I guess Don't Ask, Don't Tell has a place now. Honestly it's better to watch, not asking questions, not analyze anything, rather just watching. As for the forums, you are spot on. |

fathertime said: I believe Inaho X Asseylum is the end game and episode 22 cemented it for me that she will see Inaho again someday. I have no idea how they will do it but there is no way she doesn't end up with him and she is just using Cruhteo Jr to get some leverage on putting a stop to the war. This marriage announcement made a good cliffhanger though.Started watching this show with great expectations .Now its hit rock bottom for me.One more episode and am done with this series.I feel like the creators have taken the fans for a ride.They spend 23 episodes fueling the InahoXAsseylum and the SlaineXAsseylum ships and in the second last episode,they bring a guy out of nowhere and make him her fiance.Bullshit. |

I don't know what she hopes to accomplish by marrying this guy, I thought the problem was that Slaine had the Aldnoah power and that's why everyone was following him, and he also wants to invade Earth. And comparing this show to code geass is strange. To me they both have the same flaws though. Too many underdeveloped characters and too many subplots that didn't get adequately expanded upon. Also equally silly amounts of situation handling. Though Code Geass is much much more hammy and doesn't take itself very seriously at all, while aldnoah is just kind of full of rediculous moments. No the prolem was that he had legitimacy via supposedly marrying Asseylum which meant she could give him the power to rule over the knights. Whereas now that lie has been exposed and that's going to make a lot of people displeased. Plus Knights don't care about his activation rights when they already have their own for the castles. Will it even matter? They had already claimed that the princess didn't have much political power anymore. The reason people followed slain without much fuss is because he was providing results, is willing to invade earth, and has the activation rights. Sure there's a small branch of supporters, but it seems to be a very small portion at this point. I doubt it would be enough to stop the invasion of earth. |

If that were the case he wouldn't have had to get engaged to the fake Asseylum. Clearly people didn't follow him as blindly as you think if he had to pull off that kind of charade to garner the loyalty of said knights. |

CynicofSinope said: Woah, woah, woah..At what point did Inko confess to Inaho? When was this, I need timestamp and episode number, because I want to go back and watch that scene. That would suck if I missed it. Ah, I checked it - she doesn't say so openly, but she cries and says that she doesn't want to lose him again. (You see, I've only read about it previously too.) In the A.Z world it's not clear enough, cause here everyone has some sort of a vague obsessive bromance. False alarm. But it was so painful to watch, even ithough I went backwards scene by scene... I must say that I do really hate Klancain. Not only because he is an asspull personified or because he does an NTR of special toxicity, not simply due to the legacy he brings with reminding Slaine that he can't escape his role of the tortured (it's nasty by any standard) and not just because of a whole bunch of nonsense he brings up from the previously unmentioned Vers, and even his recycled design is of second importance. I can't stand that he is smiling during the Eddelrittuo's scene. That's nasty. Look - Asseylum, Mazuurek, now Kloncine all together. All good, idealistic, unblemished people. I hate so, when the "good guys" are all so morally correct, and haven't had to make any bad choices, and they look condescendingly at the "bad guys", who had to. Can't stand when a writer moves anyone who is morally gray to a villain position and abuses to no end, and all the favourites are made free of any blame forever and are always good, pretty and sound. And their reasons are always pure and simple. Btw, all three of them are Mary/Gary Sues as well. And... *exhales* I admit I am butthurt, so low coherency, sorry. |

I am more than willing to argue the philosophical implications of aforementioned quote and whether or not it relates to you suppositions.

Oh and there're two other things. 1) I just love how whoever can enter, leave, reenter, leave again - do whatever with the supposedly strongest fortress of the supposedly technically advanced martians. Also I've long since stopped following what happens on Slaine's castle and what on the Lunar base. 2) I'll skip my usual disdain for the princess and her actions, but one line is especially stupid. The nature was healing, she says. Well, of course, the Earth has the goddamned ecosystem, unlike your home. It would mend itself even better if you kill all the terrans. What has it to do with anything? I was facepalming as hard as Slaine during that time. (The ideal result of this would be the "Fire, she is stupid anyways" command.) |

You're statement is perfectly coherent. Tch, damn it, *snaps finger*, I guess I'll take Inko crying with Inaho, about not losing him again, as a hidden confession. As for Klancain, let's not get started on him. Why is he even here? Just thinking about how he randomly showed up at the end of episode 10, and the surprise everyone had as a result makes me laugh to no end. I just imagine Klancain as a character that initially was not supposed to be in the series. His character sketches and lines were in a trash can somewhere in the studio, and one of the writers saw it, picked it out of the trash, showed it to his supervisor, who showed it to the lead write who just said, 'Screw it, why not". But on a serious note, what is Klancain's purpose in this series, we know nothing about him outside of him and Asseylum meeting each other during a commemoration for the original Count Cruhteo. At this point, I won't be surprised if at the beginning of episode 12, Count Saazabum's unknown second child shows up being the purest good guy of them all, courts Asseylum off of her feet, marries her, brokers a peace deal between Earth and Vers, and they roll the credits. |

Oh, be careful with this idea. There was a speculation that Inaho is a son of Saazbaum and Orlaine, secretly brought up by dr. Troyard or something. If they do the third season, they will undoubtedly drag dr. Troyard's reaearch into it, and that makes it possible. (Though there're no limitations in A.Z, so it can happen in the next ep., of course.) Btw, there's no way they will manage to tie it in a satisfactory manner in one ep. People speculate that Slaine may shoot himself (with the words "damn this writing, I am out", I suppose). But I don't find it as likely now. The bad part is that whatever the development, one ep is too little for a good final battle. |

And, pls, people, stop the personal fight (or at least use the quotes). it's not worth it, we can better discuss the less popular pairings or the things you'd done to your less favourite character. Let's ship Yuki and the third martian goon in the right, for example. Or go and read a very funny comics about A.Z on tumblr: http://azchopsticks.tumblr.com/ |

People speculate that Slaine may shoot himself (with the words "damn this writing, I am out", I suppose). But I don't find it as likely now. The bad part is that whatever the development, one ep is too little for a good final battle. See, I really don't want to admit it, but that most likely will be the case. On another thread about how this season would end, many people noted that, in general animes with titles Zero refer to prequels, i.e: Fate/Zero, and that this rule held for this anime.

Or go and read a very funny comics about A.Z on tumblr: http://azchopsticks.tumblr.com/ The fact you called him a goon has made me laugh uncontrollably. I'll digress from the fight I am having, and start working on the dojinshi, shipping these two. If you are at summer comiket, look for my booth. Also that tumblr is great.

Why are people claiming Slaine should die or be punished? In fact Slaine had committed no crimes against the Vers Empire. Asseylum declared Vers the loser of the war and now its up to the UFE to accept that defeat. We forget the possibilities of why this war prolonged is because Vers wanted to expand their teritorries accross Earth and the UFE wants to take it back. Asseylum on the other hand is not fit to handle negotiations with the UFE (Assuming if the UFE wants to negotiate) and most Counts are expecting to keep control of the land they invaded or its a no go. If the Counts DO get to keep the land then that would leave them to separate their share into Dominions under Vers.Slaine on that side would own 5 dominions. |

But nope, I don't know, the most interesting events in their universe are now. So unlikely. 3 - Some problem with the aldnoah and dr. Troyard's discoveries, set during the war or after the current war. Slaine is probably turned into an experiment.

Yeah, many people miss the fact that some peace treaties are volatile and bring worse wars. Ok, the princess wants peace, but on what conditions? It's extremely important. You don't just proclaim peace on a broadcast. You gain upper hand, prepare the terms, discuss them, prepare your populace and then sign. I suppose she gets high from declaring peace. |

MetaKite said: CynicofSinope said: Actually, DarkLight has been patronizing me this entire time. I have replied to him in many threads before (I outright called him an asshole in one) but he chose not to reply at all and simply make pretend my points never happened. However, he jumped into a discussion with me when I was responding to someone else. You simply weren't in my shoes, so for you, it seems out of the blue. It feels like he decided to "do me a favor" and actually reply just so he could try to shoot me down after having been ignoring me before. His attitude has been very condescending to all Slaine "supporters" in general (you and everyone know it that he's just a hair above a troll now) and I don't think I need to explain that word. Oh, wait but you didn't try defining that "big word" because it's clear I understood it. Thank you for taking the time to reply though and for being a condescending jackass as well.Actually it's none of that. For future reference, if you are trying to make a point, make sure you utilize good sentence structure, and know the definitions of the words you are using. For example, Patronize, as defined by the Oxford dictionary, means, "(often as adjective patronizing) Treat with an apparent kindness that betrays a feeling of superiority." Look, I even provided a reference link for you: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/patronize In this context, referencing previous posts from Darklight to you, none of them were patronizing in any manner whatsoever. Why does all of this matter? Because as I previously stated, if you are trying to make a point and look like an educated, superior being, you should know what the definitions and contextual uses of the "big words" (Look, I threw in a buzzword for you) you use are. In the event you use words, that are completely out of place, you run the risk of looking like the average, uneducated goon, who has an online thesaurus open, trying to look smart. I speak English. So it's only my third language but I know what I am saying in the given context.

Also as for a season 3, Get ready for that spin-off beach OVA, full of fan service for the whole family. Out of the 3 possibilities you mentioned, case 3 seems the most plausible, at this point this show is a dead horse, it's been beaten beyond recognition. The simple idea that they might push a season 3 is painful. My honest opinion is, if they can finish the series, put out a long OVA, or series of OVAs, finish it there, cut your losses, and move on. Or better yet they can put out a series of OVAs showing characters being shipped with each other. They might as well, if they're introducing, new characters at the end of a season, they can do this. Also, as to your previous comment, if Inaho ended up being Count Saazabum's son.......I'd laugh for days. |

deadoptimist said: CynicofSinope said: Woah, woah, woah..At what point did Inko confess to Inaho? When was this, I need timestamp and episode number, because I want to go back and watch that scene. That would suck if I missed it. Ah, I checked it - she doesn't say so openly, but she cries and says that she doesn't want to lose him again. (You see, I've only read about it previously too.) In the A.Z world it's not clear enough, cause here everyone has some sort of a vague obsessive bromance. False alarm. But it was so painful to watch, even ithough I went backwards scene by scene... I must say that I do really hate Klancain. Not only because he is an asspull personified or because he does an NTR of special toxicity, not simply due to the legacy he brings with reminding Slaine that he can't escape his role of the tortured (it's nasty by any standard) and not just because of a whole bunch of nonsense he brings up from the previously unmentioned Vers, and even his recycled design is of second importance. I can't stand that he is smiling during the Eddelrittuo's scene. That's nasty. Look - Asseylum, Mazuurek, now Kloncine all together. All good, idealistic, unblemished people. I hate so, when the "good guys" are all so morally correct, and haven't had to make any bad choices, and they look condescendingly at the "bad guys", who had to. Can't stand when a writer moves anyone who is morally gray to a villain position and abuses to no end, and all the favourites are made free of any blame forever and are always good, pretty and sound. And their reasons are always pure and simple. Btw, all three of them are Mary/Gary Sues as well. And... *exhales* I admit I am butthurt, so low coherency, sorry. You should watch Game of Thrones or read its associated novel. |

Oh, be careful with this idea. There was a speculation that Inaho is a son of Saazbaum and Orlaine, secretly brought up by dr. Troyard or something. If they do the third season, they will undoubtedly drag dr. Troyard's reaearch into it, and that makes it possible.

In those "chances" the writers just focus on highlighting how tragic Slaine is supposed to be, his dialogue with Elderrituo, his talk with Lemrina and even his daily conversations with Harklight. I get it that Slaine had his hard times ,but stop wasting precious screen time to rub that fact in. We know. In those supposed moments, the answer he gives to the audience is always Saazbaum's which is passed on to him, but never his own personal desire. And about his whole declaration, I did hold a huge bucket of salt to it. Because this series had done a hell of a job leading us onto one conclusions, then throwing in a BS plot twist and turn the whole ship 180 degrees around. |

If this will get that idiotic princess to actually sit down and LISTEN to other people's side of the story/their motivations/their reasoning, when by all means, let her listen to in on their philosophical debate. That's the difference between her and Slaine. Slaine didn't just jump ship the moment Saazbaum told him he's the one who wanted the monarchy dead. He actually took the time to listen to Saaz's reasoning, and motivations, and then considered that this was all bigger than Asseylum. Asseylum doesn't seem to get that, nor does she actually want to sit down and talk about it. When Elderitto tried to get her to come to an understanding, Asshime just kept on without thinking of what her actions will bring. She's literally about to condemn her already dying country to civil war. |

(I am loving how Slaine has zero f*cks left to give though now that he's basically lost everything). In those "chances" the writers just focus on highlighting how tragic Slaine is supposed to be, his dialogue with Elderrituo, his talk with Lemrina and even his daily conversations with Harklight. I get it that Slaine had his hard times ,but stop wasting precious screen time to rub that fact in. We know. In those supposed moments, the answer he gives to the audience is always Saazbaum's which is passed on to him, but never his own personal desire. And about his whole declaration, I did hold a huge bucket of salt to it. Because this series had done a hell of a job leading us onto one conclusions, then throwing in a BS plot twist and turn the whole ship 180 degrees around. I agree because the writing has been all over the place. Slaine is an anti-villain. A person who is the villain but never actually wanted to do evil but ended up that way as a victim of circumstance. He did feel remorse for all of his decisions and treatment of those around him. He really didn't want this war aside of trying to kill Inaho. Slaine has been an anti-villain BUT that line about destroying the Earth in an all out assault are not the words of an anti-villain. Not anymore because any good intention Slaine had when he continued the war with Saazbaum was thrown out with that declaration. He is acting solely on hatred of Terrans.... no his hate of Inaho now. There's nothing noble or selfless about that. |

The show has had several chances for Slaine to explain himself and that has pretty much been his default answer. I'd like to think he decided to fight the UEF and win in able to secure land for Vers and start a new Vers kingdom where the upper class are not arrogant douches.However, he declared out of anger in the last episode that he'd just destroy the Earth so they don't have a home to go back to. He's raging like a lunatic and running solely on emotion. Lichtspiel said: I still think there's a reason why Slaine acts the way he does. I hope we get to know that in the last episode. And I'm looking forward to it, since Asseylum is starting to fight against Slaine. Well going by how the story progress we could possibly catch glimpses of his intentions, but those are not his original ones, as they were sprouted from Saazbaum. What I am interested in knowing is what he thinks that he will gain personally from this. It is fairly safe to say that we will get some sort of explanation from Slaine in the end, it is fairly standard procedure for all Anime antiheros/villains. But I hope that it will be at least more detailed than just "I want Asseylum to be safe and happy". When an area is destroyed by a landing castle, people aren't the only things that die.

I am not referring to the most recent of events that Slaine had started, but rather the real motivation that had kept him going up till this episode, that by itself deserves a rather detailed explanation. |
