[Anime] Aldnoah.Zero

I really like him, but I got the gut feeling, when he finally does get over his Post Traumatic Stress problem, it's going to be a one minute sacrificial blaze of glory saving everyone, more specifically that Officer Chick.

Nice, we got ourselves some tech!
But now Asseylum's identity is known to some people....this might be dangerous.
Inaho and Slaine already on eachother's shit list...figures -__-

He might be able to considering he is the son of the lead researcher of Aldnoah apparently. There's also the matter of Slaine "wanting to fight" which wouldn't make much sense for him to ask if he couldn't use Aldnoah.

The castles might not actually use Aldnoah tech. The "sparks" or whatever emitted from the martian Kats have been the only thing referred to as "the light of Aldnoah". Nothing else has been explicitly shown to use Aldnoah, so it could be that a lot of the advanced tech shown is conventional technology developed from what could be understood from Aldnoah tech (thanks to Dr. Troyard possibly).

Crutheo died after learned the truth (unless they want to resort on "Hey, I actually survived that attack" thing and make him reappears later on). And if Crutheo's subordinate already sent his ceasefire offers to UN HQ, Saazbaum has another opportunity to find the princess should he fails to 'persuade' Slaine.

So, aside of Rayet, others didn't show hostility toward the princess (yet?). Talk about a quick change of heart...

The pendant Slaine gave to Asseylum is probably a tracker or something, because there's no way he could've known they were at Tangeshima just by flying around. Which means Count Sabrosos made the right call in capturing Slaine.

Count Cruhteo was such a boss figuring all that out and HUMBLING himself(a trait I thought was nonexistent among Orbital Knights) to help Slaine. Well now he's dead. Maybe. I really want him to be alive because a Martian civil war would be awesome and he's probably the ONLY Orbital Knight in this series thus far that isn't a dick. Now wouldn't it be cool if Slaine inherit's Cruhteo's Tharsis, he already gave the order for it to be prepared so it's possible.

Inaho still not caring.

Either that, or Slaine simply got information from the officer he abducted during his escape back then. I mean, Slaine knew Count Vlad (the one with beam saber) had fought "Orange" (Inaho) and would seek him for revenge. So Slaine could've tracked the last coordinate Count Vlad was on (before dead) from the officer and flew there in hope to find "Orange". When he got there, he might've heard/saw the battle in Tanegashima and tried his luck there. But that's only a speculation on my side.

Given that they left behind the red Kataks, don't think Inaho will gets a power-up mecha soon...

Inaho: havin fun
Slaine: gettin the living shit beat out of him ALL DAY LONG

You know, I was completely digging the idea of Cruhteo and Slaine arming up and start kicking ass and taking names, for just that brief moment, my hopes went sky high......then crashed and burned immediately in a hellfire never before seen by mortals.

Well, I'm sure we can expect more passion of the christ starring Slaine......fuck -_-

Genuinely feeling sorry for Marito now despite grinning like a madman when he shot Humeray. Scene was so good. I'm also thinking the that Kataphrakt Deucalion(now the Terran carrier using an Aldnoah drive) is the one that Orlane, Saazbaum's wife, piloted. I think she probably could have survived Heaven's Fall with her gravity well engine but chose to save Marito's life instead, she probably saw him crying and instinctively moved out of pity to save him which killed her.

Now I feel really bad for making fun of Count Saazbaum because I really love his character, he's one of those villains with very strong and comprehensible reasons behind his unjust actions. Makes you think he's in the right actually. And I was right, Vers is suffering from their monarchical rule, lack of resources and much like the Covenant from Halo with the only thing holding the empire together is the promise of a holy war to light the way to paradise.

Asseylum dead. I called it with Rayet but I still feel crappy seeing that. It's even more screwed up when you consider that Rayet strangled her with the charm that Slaine gave to Asseylum to protect her. Maybe she's dead, the death looked strange to me and the Aldnoah drive shutting down perhaps as a symptom of her being unconscious. Still two revivals is pushing it. I think that either Rayet was brainwashed into assassinating Asseylum or her PTSD drove her to make her hatred for Asseylum/Martians take physical shape.

There's plenty of mirrored personalities in Aldnoah Zero, Marito and Rayet;Slaine and Saazbaum. All very entertaining.

You know, it's like they were just telling us straight out before it all goes to shit. Sauzbaum himself said it, "the princess WILL be a human sacrafice", and the second Slaine dropped the knife in defeat and Rayet went into kill mode, I just knew what the finale was going to be....and I simply waited.

.....It still hurts.

Sauzbaum got a hell of a lot more interesting though. But maybe that's because he didn't immediately start flogging Slaine, which seemed to be the new hip thing to do lately. Instead, we get some meaningful dialog about how shit Vers really is. I mean damn, just the bit on the food situation sounded shitty.


But once again, the crews situation went from shit to fucked rather quickly.

And here I thought it was going to be a passionate lesbian sex scene in the shower.....

Hoo, so that's your trauma, Lt. Marito. No wonder...

Saazbaum is quite open about his past and plan to Slaine. I really wonder if he saved Slaine based only of his debt to Prof. Troyard, or there's more to it...

Hmmm, the princess is dead (again)... is what I want to say, but given that I've seen similiar strangle scene in other Urobuchi' works (namely, Fate/Zero), I kinda doubt it (if you need to remember; Matou Kariya strangled Rin's Mom to death in Kotomine' church, yet she appeared alive in the end, though had mental problem). The princess has a role that has been built up these past eps, and killing her off like that is too off the bat. But hey, it's Urobuchi we're talking about. He might has something in his sleeve regarding this event.

Goddamn that shower scene was hot.
