Yea Slaine will become the emperor, and then the writers will pander to him some more, and will want us to feel bad for him when the write a scene were Slaine is pissed because the throne isn't made of enough gold or some shit. |

| Preview looks decent. Nameless grunts getting killed, but I still wonder if we'll have any tension for the main characters. The most logical route for the episode would probably be some kind of fighting retreat, and then to try again later with a better plan, especially if we see the Deucalion taking fire. Then they could make a case to the UFE that the war is about to take a turn as well, and maybe get a more serious response out of the lol-worthy leadership. We don't know how inclined the Counts are to pursue though, so we'll see. The last shot of Lemrina seems pretty sad. Are those tearstreaks on the sides of her face, or just strange shadows? Slaine better not make muh cripple princess cry. |

| finally getting to see the knights cooperate together not sure what is Slaine's real objective anymore, hope it is not the "asorb all the blame then sacrifice myself for the sake of the princess" route |
| time for orbital knights to team up against team Inaho in the next episode |
Knight-Artorias said: Oh baby~ Aldnoah returning to it's roots and what it handles best. Things exploding and "ZOMG TEH HYPE!!" moments. MAL should be pretty big on this next episode. Maybe it'll even give people some Inaho vs. Slaine moments to bicker over for maximum measure. |

Not likely since Slaine is busy being the grim dark antagonist mastermind wannabe in his castle Second Season Slaine amuses me because he's just so far removed from the first season edition to the point where he might as well be a whole other character crossed over from an alternate universe like bearded Spock. The show has to pretty much end with a final duel with Inaho and Slaine for all the marbles (whatever the marbles end up entailing cause truthfully I'm not even sure what this fight is fully about anymore other than a destined grudge match between two pretty boys or what a resolution might even entail) anyway so they're probably going to have him on the sidelines for the next couple weeks keeping in mind that after tomorrow the show has something like an hour and 20 minutes of content left. |

Honestly I am puzzled about the next episode seeing at the title for it doesn't actually sound as grim as it looks. If anything it sounds hopeful so I have to wonder how this encounter is going to end. |
AverageAnna said: Cant take these climaxes seriously after the first season finale. I thought the show would have the gull to actually kill off the characters who were shot at the very end, but of course not. This series is falling under SAO-syndrome, where the greater plot behind all of it is eventually dissolved for some love story. Because "killing characters" is the only way to make a show good right? Oh and do you understand what plot is? |
 |
| Best episode so far, I guess. Just to put the cherry on top of the cake I want two things right now: a) the blonde martian guy doesn't die (...) b) Slaine shows he is actually a psycopath and not just a retarded kid. |
 |
| I wished as well the princess died, but if this is a way to make Slaine get fucked I am okay with that :) |
|
| The princess wakes up and conveniently doesn't remember a thing. Slane's office looks pretty cool. |
  |
| So she lost her memory...typical to drag it out. But now the counts are working together...joy. |
 |
| So Harklight got a mech too now :D Team Slaine is getting stronger by the minute :) I have to say the multiple castle landings and cataphracts are examples of what both seasons of this series should be like from the start. Coordination and teamwork has been the key for a very long time, just when it looks like another typical Inaho taking out enemy cataphract domination, Slaine has turned the tide in the battle :D I don't know what kind of influence the real princess will give if she reveals herself publicly but we will just have to wait. I think the best score this series can is an 8/10 regardless on how the next few episodes and the finale paves out :) |

At least Princess Asseylum doesn't have amnesia though, but she is recovering, thankfully. Birds over flowers? Here I represented Inaho as birds and Slaine as flowers. Princess Asseylum picked the birds over the flowers. Viktor_Otaku said: Fireego said: Slaine's wish has changed. He has so much power and he also has Princess Lemrina.

I think his wish had not change beyond the means of achieving it. Yup, that's sort of what I meant, but either way, sorry for the bad choice of words. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
DrunkenRussian said: If Inaho somehow defeats every single enemy next episode without even one significant death in the crew, he'll officially be elevated to Shiba Tatsuya-level disgustingly overpowered. SASUGA ONII-SAMA. No, really, fuck Inaho. Turn hax off pls. Either way, Slaine's being a little bitch this episode. Has to be expected, he's still shit, yet surprisingly still not the worst character on the show. Either way he doesn't fail to entertain me. What worries me is that when oblivious blondie finally realises what Slaine has been up to, she won't be able to do shit cause he'll just lock her up (and the lolimaid as well, because why not) in the garden or some shit and proceed to marry the pinky cripple while resuming his plans for world domination. ...Except it'll never happen cause Inaho will rescue blondie, probably with the help of pinky cause she has betrayal written all over her. Can't wait to watch the trainwreck, the buildup is real. I don't agree with this. |

| Mhmm, nice for Asseylum to wake up. |

| ha! how's that slaine? xD |
stephenmac7 said: mangalicker94 said: how do you guys know that? is a manga released of the series. because on wikipedia there is only the anime. :/ It's speculation based on the ending of this episode. i zee |
 |
| Slaine that slippery little rascal. Once again proving why he's the best character of the series. Although his obsession with Asseylum is beyond creepy, dropping good flowers because of an Inaho reference. Just proof that no matter how devoted he is, he'll never be in her heart. Lemrina has proven to be an interesting one as well. Her hate for her family is stronger than her desire to be loved for who she is. Here comes the new order, led by the greatest man in existence. |
 |
| Slaine is finally reunited with the princess, I've been waiting for this since the second episode of S1 I can't believe how repetitive the soundtrack is. It's good, yes, but the song that played during the battle (With the annoying "ohohoh nanana" vocals) has played like 3 or 4 times in S2, and the song is on the S1 soundtrack meaning it was used before. |
| I just realized Vers is running out of time. Or better, the Orbital Knights are. Slowly, but surely. The decisions to send multiple kataphrakts and landing castles (and therefore, Counts) will only speed it up. It's 37 landing castles, 37 kataphrakts (the ones with Aldnoah), 37 Counts. And i doubt they can build them. Why would they? They didn't believe they would need it. And it's not like just anyone can build one. Only the royal family can transfer the Aldnoah factor, which they only give to Counts, who in turn are not exactly the welcoming type. So neither is there a need for new ones because of new Counts, nor because a Count lost one. Both things just don't happen. Also, if they'd be able to build them, i'd think Slaine would already have built some. He does believe in planning ahead after all, and why wait for a Count to find his untimely demise, but his Kataphrakt to survive? The ones encountering Inaho certainly don't come back, and he didn't *plan* for the duel, either. So both "Counts" and Kataphrakts are limited. How many are still alive, and how many Kataphrakts remain? Enough for now, but if they continue like that, they are running out. Once they have none, they have lost. If they can't defeat Earth with them, there is nothing they can do to stop the UEF without. Even better, there are so many Landing Castles on Earth that they can reengineer almost everything. Look what they did, having only one Kataphrakt and no idea how they work. Now, having a better understanding of it both due to the Deucalion and the many Kataphrakts they took out, and having two dozen or so Landing Castles to study... Of course, it won't come to that, Slaine and Inaho will duke it out long before, but it's the Orbital Knights that are under zugzwang, the UEF just has to continue like they do. It might not exactly be good if more and more cities get destroyed etc., and thousands if not millions of soldiers and/or civilians die, but it doesn't matter overally. It's not like they have a choice. They can't retreat, and even if the Orbital Knights would accept a capitulation, which is doubtful, it would only lead to even more people dead. So as long as they can destroy kataphrakts faster than they can be replaced (so far, none got replaced...), they are winning. The UEF central command isn't exactly doing anything, either, so even if Slaine or whoever takes them out, the rest of the forces, esp. the Deucalion could simply continue. The Orbital Knights can't, without Kataphrakts. |
| Impressive development! Really like where this is going. |
 |
| Not sure why so much hate on Slaine all since S1. I don't dislike anybody, but I definitely prefer a dynamic and realistic character over Inaho, but this is my opinion. My only hope in this series that remains is in Slaine. |
 |
| Asseylum: Slaine...Slaine....Slaine....Slaine....Slaine.....Slaine.... Slaine..... Slaine: Bitch, I heard you the first 3 times. Oh snap, an actual challenge for Inaho and co. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
Good episode. More Slane development and how he broke after the princess Assleyum finally woke up. It was a rather overwhelming scene. Of course, things go south because she's now interested more in Inahi-kamisama than Slaine... Slaine has a lot of power now, and seeks to end the war. I wonder how things will end up, well, I more or less have an idea. PD: Stupid Inaho smiling after the Princess refered to him while in the castle. What? Now he has a super ear too? I didn't know I would end up disliking him so much =( PD2: Slaine's office looks rather dull for a Count but, with those stairs it's sure that Lemrina won't come to annoy him jaja. He's a genius!

Yeah, it's been played way too much. It's good but it got tiresome and lacks of the impact it used to have. |

| Dam it they are finally going as a team those Martians with their Vers. I really hope no non-background character dies next episode. |
| Asseylum: Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, Slaine, just stop!!! Meh, i don't feel any tension. Inaho is there, the bad guys will be defeated by him in the next episodes. 2/5 |

| Slaine why are you crying xD. |
| Ah, Asyllum now awaken. Why that chibi servant do not tell the whole situations to the Slaine and Asyllum? Her role was also confusing. Shit. So much unexplainations make the whole story felt cracking over and over again. In the name of durations and make the battle epic, the story felt slow on this point. My dream here was Asyllum tell the truth of Inaho to Slaine, and that chibi servant aggrees with it. Her reason for the peace in the earth must be explained to him too. But no, son. The whole point got blurred because of her confusion really frustating to seen. Poor her sister, i hope she just end up with Slaine, and let Asyllum goes in to inaho. Happy ending for both of them, in the peace treaty of earth. However, since this show really like to blow up some mind, and try hard to put up some twist, the simple problem can be a great deal. Surely Inaho comes to rescue, and rekted all of the reckless people. Bad end for Slaine, cause his role was absolutely understandable, a villain. Lets see how smooth the plot and the storyline goes to that end... |

| Slaine is so jealous of Inaho lolololololololol xd |
 |
| Slaine is such a manipulator, in just a short span of time, he not only convinced Lemrina to support his cause, but Lemrina herself became Slaine's useful tool, his personal bitch. The love here is not mutual little birdie. It gives me great joy knowing that Slaine actively hides the fact that Asseyleum has already awoken from her coma to Lemrina, that brainless fool. Welp, time to demolish Earth and its inhabitant I guess... Unless ofc, the Terran armies aren't as incompetent as they always were. |
  |
| I really hate Slaine. He's definitely the villain of this series. He lacks even a basic understanding of what his cherished Princess Seylum actually wants. And I hope Seylum's awakening will change things, somehow. |
 |
| Man, her sister sounds so happy that she's dead because she can finally replace her. |
| Get the feeling Slaine is going to be in for a conga line of disappointments soon. |
