| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah that noise...I don't just mean the OST this episode. The battle was alright. There were some good teamwork and clashes but it dragged more than I had expected. Even the princess is lending help. Tension building. |

| Death by getting run over by a battleship. Well that works! |
venk said: Enemy of my enemy is my friend. But you're still my enemy, so you must die too. O hisashiburi da na, lelouch. and yeah EVA 02 cataphract for Inaho, YAY Nah he didn't shoot to kill. He just shot to bring him down for capture. |
venk said: Darklight0303 said: Nah he didn't shoot to kill. He just shot to bring him down for capture. i'm just kidding you know for "die" part, lol. it's just his character remind me lelouch. Honestly given the conspiracy in the Martian ranks I'd say Inaho took the safest route that will also give them a chance to question their unannounced air support |
venk said: Darklight0303 said: Honestly given the conspiracy in the Martian ranks I'd say Inaho took the safest route that will also give them a chance to question their unannounced air support i know that, but his line "riyou sareru to, komaru no ka" (do you have a problem if your princess used by us ?), so cold, but i loved it Hahaha yea that would be a nice jab even if it wasn't Slaine he was saying it to. It's like "oh so it's a problem if we use her but when you do it's A Ok?" |
| It's quite obviously that he didn't killed him. Slaine is alive they can't just killing him off yet. Haha |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| The last part of the episode leave me 0.0, sorry I watched without subttles. |
 |
| Slaine and Inaho cooperating against that Martian Kataphrakt. Inaho finally declared that they are enemies. That flying ship and Kataphrakt 15 years ago. Will Inaho use it with the help of Hime? How will earthlings react after they discovered that Hime is alive? I'm sure it will cause some uproar. Good to see that ED2 is back. |

| That is a big battleship. Inaho now declaring to Slaine that he is an enemy of his. |

| I SAY CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Finally the epic ending song that we all love has returned :DDDD The first half of the episode was pretty cool....Twas pretty funny seeing Inaho and Slaine size each other up lol And dem codenames...."Bat" and "Orange" xDDD And as usual, the anime addressed the traditional not that serious complaint of the week.....They intentionally let Slaine escape so that they can find out where he's going and weed out the enemy....I hope that you nitpickers are satisfied now -_- The second half was awesome as well....Looks like my theory is coming together nicely now that they found that hidden base with the Aldnoah Mech and Battleship.....Slaine and Inaho's teamwork and just general interaction was amazing and I can't wait to see more of it in future episodes (Hopefully) But that last part though.....The talk about the princess was funny and Inaho shooting him down and calling him his enemy was a surprise to me but that just makes this whole thing a hell of a lot more interesting.... Also, red head female revenge Inaho is freaking awesome...What a kill shot, and with no hesitation too...That was badass.... |
| So I wondered how they would get a Vers Kataphrakt of their own, but it just happens to be in Tanegashima.... Mmmm I would have expected the writers to be more creative than that. There's no plothole because they covered it up with the whole missing Tanegashima report and they've been hinting at it through Lt. Marito's flashbacks, but still... Iunno. I'll let it slide. First episode to break out of the formula. Basically 20 minutes of fighting, which was pretty exciting but also dragged out. Also, Slaine seems like he'll be stranded in Tanegashima for awhile. Saazbaum will probably get to him first and manipulate Slaine into becoming the Terran enemy. Slaine belongs to the princess's side, and he'll side with whichever side as long as he can save the princess. And he's out for Inaho for sure. |
| A hidden dock in the midst of an intense battle? Earthlings sure are lucky! Maybe a little too lucky with the discovery of a miraculous machine. Inaho and Slaine's teamwork was splendid. Loved the way they countered every attack from that Martian Kataphrakt. Badass duo! Rayet lands the final strike. She needs more spotlight though. Damnit Inaho! Why turn your back on Slaine after such a great victory? >.< I'm still hoping for them to continue collaborating together. Great episode with awesome actions and excellent OSTs! Martians will be making their next move very soon once they locate Slaine. :O |

| Can someone explain what Aldnoah is? Because if it was explained, I didn't quite catch that. |
| Animation: Animation was well handled throughout. The 3dCG looked a tad bad when the enemy transformed but overall it wasn't anything that bad. Action was a lot smoother and less stiff than it was in the other episodes. The battleship is well designed even if.. I'll get to that later. Music: New song that was integrated well and fit with what was going on. Occasionally the music was too loud and made the lyrics distracting from the things the characters were saying but otherwise fine. Characters: Slaine is now disappointing me... A bit inconsistent with his established character right off the bat. What, he is absolutely terrified of killing a person but casually shoots a guys leg with no hesitation whatsoever? Meh.. Kind of a nitpick. I did like how Slaine passed out in his jet though when doing reckless things to escape the rocket-arms. So they intentionally let Slaine escape, kay. Not really an issue, glad they addressed it at least. Even if it didn't make sense, it basically amounted to, "No, don't chase after him, I will watch him instead". You'd think the guy would find that suspicious considering how arrogant they are to the point they probably would think no matter who he is going to they could kill them. Whatever. Inaho... -sigh-.. I... -sigh-... "The enemy of enemy is my friend" ... "Well now that the fight is over I am now heavily suspicious of you and decide to try and drown you." ... Ugh... Princess admits she is mostly at fault, decides to actually do something by lending her power... I think...? Pretty sure that's what happened. And Villain dies without getting ANY characterization besides being an evil bitch. -sigh- Story: OH BOY, THE STORY! I don't usually get so angry but wow. TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM YOUR STEREOTYPICAL MECHA SHOW GUYS. THEY DIDN'T RANDOMLY FIND A SUPER-MECHA THAT SAVED THE DAY CONVENIENTLY! ... THEY FOUND A SUPER-*BATTLESHIP* THAT SAVED THE DAY CONVENIENTLY. Oh boy, it was found in a secret passage that conveniently was revealed when Inaho sent a rocket-arm flying RANDOMLY into a cliff! Despite the action and music being a bit better than the previous episodes... This is the worst episode to me thus far. |

| Dat teamwork! Must this was a really good episode. I like how Slaine and Inaho worked as a team. The battle looked amazing. Also happy that the princess was reveled. So it would make sense on how they are flying the ship. Inaho capturing Slaine was unexpected to me. I thought they would be friends afterwards. Can't wait to see how next episode plays out. 5/5. |
 |
| Great ep. I knew they would find some alien tech on that island but nice upgrade with a ship. Now it looks like they may make a difference now. Nice battle with that enemy mech I was beginning to think there was no weakness this time other then she only had one weapon. Well I'm glad she had something up her sleeve. Though nice way to defeat her by hitting her with the ship itself. Looking forward to the next ep even more. The majority of people saw the Princess transform to power that ship. Bound to ask questions there. Inaho most likely captured Slaine so bound to question him for answers. The red hair girl even used the mech to deliver the final kill on that enemy. I wonder if she will join the battles to kill all martians now? Sent with Mal Updater |

DeviFreakMint said: The writing and asspulls are starting to get in the way. From Inaho's perspective, Slaine knowing that the princess is alive *is* really shady. But the whole thing was handled poorly, hopefully next episodes cleans it up. There was foreshadowing for a martian mech on the island, them pulling a battleship came a bit out of nowhere. Too many coincidences for it to be healthy. Yeah I hoped the writing wouldn't resort to such asspulls... they could've either stolen a Vers Kataphrakt and study how to make their own Vers Kataphrakt, but nope. We'll just give the characters a Vers Kataphrakt battleship. That's a reaaaaall plot twist there, Aldnoah.Zero writers, totally didn't see that coming. |
| Anyone else get a flashback to this with the reveal of the Martian battleship? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKe0wARmks4 |

| Definitely best ep yet! Dat OST >.< Eargasms!! :3 Totally loved the teamwork between Inaho and Slaine :D Lol'd so much at how Inaho was ordering Slaine around like his bitch XD And then when he did his job he shot him down :O No mercy. I wonder how they'll interact with each other from now on? Loved their interactions this ep. But they seem to hate each other quite a lot right now ^^; Totally loved when the Battleship appeared out of nowhere O_O And Asseylem revealed herself. I wonder what they're gonna do now that they found out? I hope Inaho will be able to use the Red Kataphrakt. It looks awesome. Oh also nice to see they explained how Slaine escaped. It's just that they didn't give chase ^^ |
 |
| a good episode, love the combat, but i don't understand why Inaho think slaine is enemy? |

| Slaine is stuck in the middle, can't seem to find comfort on either side. There's some definite potential there. I hope he doesn't end up joining the Terrans but remains stuck in the middle as the wildcard and ends up being the hero. Inaho gets some much needed characterization at the end. The only question is whether he was testing Slaine's loyalty to the princess, or he really does plan to exploit her if necessary. Either way, it was a welcome development to see him shoot down someone who had just helped him. looks like it's gonna be Uchuu Senkan Aldnoah now. |

| LOOOOOOL this episode was pretty funny, Elaine escaping again was funny, how could people miss shooting at him. My prediction for this episode was correct, mainly focusing on the whole fight, which was pretty decent. Inaho and Elaine working together was alright, luckily the other side characters are making more of an impact which is a good improvement. Music was good too. The ending was semi funny, Inaho, although taking the right measures, didn't really have to shoot him down to make a point, he could've asked first. I think it was an attempt to make him look bad ass, in the end I thought he looked like a cock.Also, when the arm was coming and almost bit the nob combatants, I know that they go off course when they open their hand and it's shot (which is a huge huge flaw) but why did it go off course?, it's hand was closed and then it randomly missed. Nevertheless, a big improvement from the the previous episodes. The design of the mechs are ass pulls though. |
OG-3 said: Can someone explain what Aldnoah is? Because if it was explained, I didn't quite catch that. It was explained during Asseylum and Inaho's conversation last episode. It's basically the ignition sequence needed to awaken and pilot a Vers Kataphrakt. To monopolize this power, the Vers Emperor embedded the Aldnoah factor into his genes so that only his descendants have the power to control Vers Kataphrakt. However, once there were people who swore allegiances to the emperor, the emperor generously bestowed the Aldnoah factor to those who would swear loyalty and fight for the emperor. |
| OK, i understand why Slaine calls Inaho 'Orange', but wtf is 'Bat' supposed to mean? I still don't understand why Inaho shot Slaine down, Slaine was helping him fight ... Overall good fight, more people know about Princess Asseylum! Looking forward to see what will happen to Slain next episode.. |
 |
| That was great... It's always a pleasure seeing Inaho's strategies work out. Reminds me of code geass, just a bit more subtle. |
| Loved the episode, amazing OST. Looks like the people from earth still don't trust the martian guy even after him helping, huh? |
| The episode was supreme on everything! Inaho is wicked. He changes his decisions so instantly. Just wow! Best male lead in years! I think he changed his mind as soon as he saw they now have a battleship powered with Aldnoah to fight against the martians and quickly realized Slaine to be a hinder on his plans. Talk about using like I rag to clean up stuff and throwing in the bin. I feel bad about Slaine and looks like Inaho is going to be the evil to fight evil. Masterful episode! Now I am really pumped up if I wasn't already after the first six episodes! |

pakoko said: I was hoping that this bolded part would have happened but oh well....I think (More like hoping) that maybe they will use the Aldnoah Mech (That is Slaine will study and replicate its design schematics) to make new machines or modify the earth's machines and since that mech might be seen as a symbol of fear and cause a lot of chaos and strife for the Earthlings, I think they're going to re-design it as well (With Inaho piloting it and most likely painting it orange lol)DeviFreakMint said: The writing and asspulls are starting to get in the way.

I think it was an attempt to make him look bad ass, in the end I thought he looked like a cock [/quote] Slaine shots first. Inaho just replies. Watch carefully before making any argument. |
| Well then... Slaine is pretty screwed right now since he is basically stranded on Tanegashima. I didn't expect Inaho do just turn on saline like that (what an asshole!!) Then again he isn't familiar with slaines situation and doesn't know he is a earth human. Pretty good episode though |
| A HIDDEN DOCK??????????? Next episode - genie in a lamp |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| what an annoying mutherf.cker this Inaho.I just hope Slaine kick his retarded ass in the next episode |
| man are all the martian pilots stupid as hell? why would you even open your hands if that makes them vulnerable? especially after one of them already got destroyed that way? and shouldn't you know the thrusters are a weak point? why the hell would you charge a gigantic battleship leaving your weakpoint completely exposed? urghhhh the whole "one molecule" thing doesn't make any sense even by anime standards The end thing where inaho shot down slaine's plane felt pretty forced. It looked like slaine shot first (or maybe same time)? Why would he do that? be a lot harder to infiltrate the ship and meet the princess if they are on guard cause you blew up their star pilot |
