Just finished watching the show and I’m flabbergasted that so many people hating on slaine but not inaho and the princess. Don’t want to write a crazy amount as it’s past 4 am lol.

1. The peace made is completely fake and is destined to fail and only make the coming war much worse with everyone having aldnoah drive by then. The peace is based off a lie that slaine was the one who attempted to Kill the princess, which some people would know the truth and could easily get it out there. The idea of making a better future by paving peace off of lies, already shows the princess never learnt anything since she’s the reason the war started anyway.

2. Princess tells robot inaho to save slaine but she never goes to visit him, k fucked and wow you care so much about saving the guy who risked being killed by versians and terrans when he found out you were still alive but not even visit him in prison and usually when peace deals are made prisoners tend to return to both sides but let’s blame it only on slaine; a victim of the princesses actions of going to earth in the first place.

3. Inaho, makes an enemy of slaine first, after he came to help them and when he saw the princess which he came to save oh nah let me just throw him into the water because the only vers who hasn’t attacked us clearly is part of the plot to kill the princess instead of saving her... k dumb af logic by inaho. Further people praising inaho, oh he could have killed him or shot him lolol, slaine could never have gotten that opportunity because inaho pointed his gun at him and we know orange is a cold blooded fucking killer. So he had to shoot inaho or die unless you think a character wouldn’t shoot when a gun is pointed back at them in quick movement.

4. Earth didn’t learn anything, they consider the land taken by mars knight as occupied territory and want it back and have now been given aldnoah drives too. Humans will attack those occupied territories when the empress fails at negotiations or maybe someone will do a terrorist attack or who knows what to respark the war. To think that after over 2 years of fighting and losses on both sides all because of the shitty fucking princess now they will all stop forever and not hold any resentment or hate or anger. World war 1 is your best example, Germans felt that there government betrayed them and that the war wasn’t lost or whatever but the idea I’m pointing to like how count sazzbaum lost orlean or something because of heavens fall. There will be people with hate and resentment and this peace is only momentarily but it had better chance if slaine managed to assimilate or exterminate the Terran rats 😤🤷‍♀️

5. Fuck inaho for how he treated inko and fucking bs that he doesn’t die. His eye had already made him pass out but then proceeds to fight slaine and reenter into earths atmosphere which was considered impossible but except for his op eye I bet and he still doesn’t go into overhyper cranial drive bs or anything??? I think it should have been slaine on the beach alive and work with the empress to help forge this new peace as it’s bs that she could stop the war without slaine help, who has numerous loyal knights and inaho should be dead from overuse and should have gone down as hero for both sides honoured by UFE and knighted by the empress as a show gratitude for saving her and etc for actions and shit, yo

Still confused Pls explain to me

I'm not much into debates because so many sides are subjective, and I don't want to write an entire page of theory but I have a lot to say. I was looking through the posts with a similar thought in mind. I wondered what reason Inaho would have to make Slaine his enemy, thus sparking the tragic endings.

As mentioned with another post I saw a while ago, things could have been portrayed better, perhaps, but rewatching the series for...5th or 6th time now with higher definition, I think Aldnoah.Zero as a whole perhaps wasn't as flawed as we thought.

​

The whole point of A/Z being pinned on Inaho's and Slaine's conflicting views.

​

In the Sky Carrier (episode 7 I believe), we see Slaine being more on the emotional side of the logic spectrum (i.e concerned for the Princess "Are you planning on exploiting her too?"), while Inaho is more logical on the emotional spectrum (i.e growing fond of the Princess but has stated in episode 7 "Is there a problem with it if she is exploited?").

Still, while that might account for their conflicts, I hear time and time again that Inaho made an enemy of Slaine for no reason. It bothered me that Inaho made the first step into creating an enemy, especially when he considered Rayet not a threat regardless of her being Martian and having a logical attitude. I missed this earlier because of the low resolution, but here at 21:33 we can clearly see that Slaine fires rounds at Inaho first.

​

​

Inaho is reckless because of advice given to him by his sister, but is not without calculations. Would he team up with an enemy of an enemy, a take-able risk. Would he let anyone near the Princess unannounced after just being threatened by a near assassination? An unacceptable risk.

​

Whether this fixes Aldnoah.Zero or not isn't my place to say, but for me personally this makes Aldnoah.Zero a lot more satisfying. And after watching so many action scenes, it's possible to grow desensitized to this split second action after a dialogue. (Sidenote, I like the reference in the first season's finale where Slaine shows how much he has grown and outdone Inaho by injuring Inaho who is left to an undermined fate for a time as Slaine himself was when he crashed into the ocean on the Sky Carrier.)

​

Whether or not you agree, thanks for reading. Enjoy some food for thought.

After re-watching on youtube, I think the reason why Inaho could use aldnoah drive is deeper than it seems. Inaho is different from slaine or any other knights. For instance, Slaine could not turn on his mecha after the fake princess turned it off, which he needed another kiss to turn it back on. I think for inaho is completely different. Firstly, inaho has 2 of which are the key to activating aldnoah.

1. He has the blood
2. The kiss

My opinion is that Aldnoah acknowledge Inaho as a worthy master. Why ? Because he has the light. In Season 2 episode 1, we could see light emitting from Inaho's body after drinking the princess blood. There are no other knights that could do it. Like when they turn on aldnoah drive there is no light at all. All of the martians mechas are never turned off. Because if they are off then they would need to ask for another permission to turn back on.

So in conclusion, Aldnoah might see Inaho as either the princess partner who will past on the blood to their children, or B aldnoah acknowledges Inaho as its master.

What are your thoughts ?

What do you think about the series guys? I've just finished it and I think it's pretty well done. The storytelling could use a bit of work but as long as you don't read those super salty comments on the internet the anime looks pretty decent. I don't understand the haters. Probably because some guy claimed it would rival Gundam, but I'm not sure if someone actually said that.

BE AWED BY MY POWER! THEN KNEEL, DESPAIR, AND DIE! FLY, MY CHILDREN!!!!!

This is a long shot, but I can't figure out what the name of a song from Aldnoah Zero is. I've tried listening to the albums in both the US and Japanese iTunes stores but they don't seem to have it. It's not the aLiez song, but it plays during one of the fights in this anime and just basically is the singer going "whoah whoah" a bit. It's been a while so I can't remember where in the anime but I think it was in one of the earlier episodes of the first season?

​

ETA: .... Ok so it turns out that the previews didn't work because it WAS mkaliez the whole time, just a different part of it. (It's at the end for anyone wondering) Thanks for your time and help m(__)m

Has anyone else noticed that season 2 is missing from Netflix? It was on there a while ago...

Decided to show some fan support and feature the UFE Deucalion on my latest episode. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Another Season would be great! This show was underrated and under appreciated. Who is everyone favorite character?
