Aldnoah Zero Season 2 |OT| Inaho or Out, It's All The Slaine

I imagine somewhere between ep 10 and 11 there was an off-screen meeting in which all the adults just went "Fuck it, let's give command to the kid. If we are to die, let at least die in the most stupid way possible". Ah and he did not disappoint with his "Let's drop a lot of shit and hope to overwhelm their defences, even though we don't really know how they work". Tactical genius indeed.

About to crash this space ship... with Aldnoah/Zero survivors.
Specially shitaho, betting on him getting the martian kat, fuck whoever thought this was a good idea.
Well, I mean he's the only one who has gone toe to toe with Martians, and won. Plus, he's stoic as shit yo. I'd follow that dude to my death.
I'm pretty sure all the survivors are still in the Earth HQ base by now.

At this point it seems he's the only one in the show who might actually do something productive with it
I think this is precisely where some of them are going now.

Why didn't Sazabum nuke the Duke Onkled when he had the chance?!
Probably. I wouldn't even mind that much since at least then his absurd efficiency against Martians would make a little more sense. Plus Slaine is too cool for mechs anyway.
I loled.
Hahaha, poor Slaine.
I recently discovered this anime, really good stuff. I even like the guy with Aspergers.
I loled.
Haha, this is good.
I loled.
Just can't win. Even when he "wins" he loses.

Nah he will keep using Sky carrier
These 3 teaming up has the potential to be hilarious and awesome. Form like their own rogue squad. Slaine Team 6.
Oh, please no. Can't stand Rayet or the chibi.
Preview for episode 12 is just a single shot of the landing castle in the snow and the usual narration, so it reveals nothing, but in case you want to watch it:

Not even the preview screens indicate anything more than what was going on at the end of episode 11:
Who's ready for the climax?

It'll feature an overly literal stint in the belly of a Martian space whale.
Pretty much every episode title is a homage to some book, either in Japanese or in English. Gotta love pretentious writers.
And in this case the Japanese half of the title is たとえ天が堕ちるとも, which I'm pretty sure is just a translation of "though the heavens fall". So that's an extra few points for using part of their series tagline.Pretty much every episode title is a homage to some book, either in Japanese or in English. Gotta love pretentious writers.
At least it's better than Captain Earth, which was boring enough to just title its final episode "Captain Earth".

bah! I didn't catch any of it past the obvious first episode. Still neat, the writers have read some stuff I guess, better than average anime writer. Not that it has helped them here...

Episode 12
Oh Fuck off.
That said, I can't wait for next season. Damn you for your cliffhangers telling me to wait until the Winter Season
Oh Fuck off.
What the fuck Slain, that was like the absolute worst case scenario ending. You fucking save Shaazabom for him to kill your Girl, then you kill Inaho when you're on the same damn team. AUUUUUGH, I literally flipped all the chairs in my room in anger.

I really don't get the character motivations in this show. First off was Inaho punting Slaine after he fights alongside them with the only explanation being "You are an enemy" or whatever. I was giving things the benefit of the doubt that Inaho had some elaborate plan to use the Princess to destroy the martians or something and didn't want interference, but there was never any real hint that I noticed of why he did that.
Then we have Slaine who is with a guy who is just rubbing it in his face constantly that one of his biggest goals is to go kill the Princess again after his first attempt failed. I don't understand why he didn't just kill him straight off let alone do anything to help him. I could maybe understand some hardcore honor code for having saved his life, but he doesn't show any rationality at all where the Princess is concerned in any other case so I don't see why that would apply here. He goes from psycho murder rage on that first guy that admitted to trying to kill her, to boo hoo what do i do with the Count who ordered her killing and then back to psycho murder rage again with the Count.
It was a fun show, I'm just not a fan of characters doing things because it's where the show wants to go and they couldn't think up any good reasons.

I really don't get Saazbaum's intent near the end, it's like he had a different personality.
Slaine is an idiot.
