I really hate Inaho's character right now. He has no motivation except to survive. Nothing fazes him and he never treats anything differently. He's just...there. The worst part about it is that since he is mostly the insight we have to the other characters (Calm, Rayet, Inko, ect.), they don't have a lot of opportunities to become characters with his 2 word answers to everything. However, if his character were to undergo a huge transformation that sends him over the edge or somethiing he could be the one that carries the show. But right now it's just the demi-God autist boy and his harem.

Then there is Slaine. Nothing about him as a character is remarkable, but nothing is terrible. The one potential great thing about Slaine though so far is that his personality is very dynamic. He shows a wide variety of emotions and has probably been the least predictable character in the show. I like that even though he has grown up with only 1 person not treating him like trash, he isn't weak and doesn't play the victim. The problem with him right now is he barely has any interaction with any of the main cast.


Slaine>Inaho
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Inaho has emotions, but we don't get enough emotion out of him. I understand him not being all that expressive. Him keeping a blank face most of the time I can completely understand. It's just that we don't really get any internal dialogue out of him. We need to know more about how he's feeling in certain situations. There also has been no hint at him getting any type of development in the future. At this point we need more foreshadowing as to whether or not Inaho has a past or not, or whether or not he will develop further. There is certainly room for development. One example could be with his motivations. His only motivation right now is to survive right. Well it could go in a direction of whether or not living for the sole sake of survival is a rewarding experience. Or at least something similar to that. At this point however Inaho is being portrayed as perfect in every aspect, so development with him doesn't feel likely.
Slaine on the other hand is above-average. He only has one motivation, which is to save the princess, but it doesn't expand further than that. His actions are honestly the most interesting part about him. It's because of how hopeless his entire situation with saving the princess. His actions are very drastic, but that's all he can really do at this point. He is not stupid like some people on this thread have stated. It's just that his position in the empire is bad to the point where anything he does will end in failure. But in the end it is commendable that he hasn't given up yet. Everybody has been treating him like shit since the beginning and honestly I feel bad for him. That reason alone is probably why people like him so much. Also the whole idea that Slaine's father was involved in Aldnoah research can open up a lot of new plot points in the second half of the series.
So Overall Slaine is the better character.

I like emotionless Inaho more because he's smart and dependable. Although he says it's because of war, I think he actually cares about the princess, Inko, and his aneki. I also consider Slaine to be a childhood friend of the princess, so there's no point rooting for someone who's going to lose out in the end.


Edited: Slaine piece of garbage should've just choked himself with his pendant seeing princess die, but nope he just kills Inaho and leaves that feg in the corner alive. Slaine probably gonna take princess's body to some private place, wash her off and start some necrophilia shit.

He wrote the base story and the first 3 episodes. He will probably write also the ending episode(s). IIRC.
Also, he clearly stated that the characters aren't how he wanted them to be. Always IIRC.

Yes, in his version of story there was only Slaine and princess. Inaho was added by director.

Slaine and Inaho's characters were polar opposites.

Inaho was a character base on an INTJ personality, someone who's emotionally reserved has a natural preference for logic and rational. He solved problems through careful analysis of the situation and logically thought up solutions. Slaine was the exact opposite of Inaho, highly emotional, reactionary, and rarely thinking things through. He was naive from the very beginning and never really grew out of it.

I like Inaho better because he's a rare character, and one the few INTJ based MC's out there. INTJ introverts are a rarity in society and their personality type often flagged as villainous or secretly psychopathic. People who live in the west, the US especially view introversion as some kind of mental disorder or suffering some short of trauma. Inaho I believe is getting the same treatment. Many are thinking that something horrible must have happened to him to make him the way he is. No one few want to believe that it's just how he is. There's nothing wrong with him he's just your stereotypical INTJ, someone whose emotional reserved and prefers logic to acting overly emotional.

LOL seriously, wtf? I feel like there've been multiple scenes where Slaine's getting shot at - but then the scene cuts to him getting inside a mecha without a single scratch on him, while the enemy soldiers shoot at everything BUT him and then scratch their heads helplessly.

Anyways, I like Slaine better than Inaho by far. Inaho's apathy is boring for me.

Well, between Inaho and Slaine, the latter was the most useless by far. While Inaho defeated multiple Martian mechs, the best accomplishment Slaine has achieved is to get his plane shot down just as many times lol
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Exactly what I thought. It's funny how people easily change trains. Except if Slaine suddenly change characters and become a huge dick, I still prefer him.

Yeah, he made a terrible decision, one in particular. But I find it boring characters who seem to succeed at nearly everything they do. I didn't hated Inaho, I just felt really indifferent to him. I felt like he was just there to drive the plot and show us some cool stuff. Even his last devellopement with the princess felt unnatural. It was so out of nowhere.

So you find those characters interesting whose only trait is how incredibly stupid they are. I can understand if you dont like emotionless characters, but liking braindead morons, I will never understand that.

He wasn't a moron, he was just really unlucky to be fair. He did some stupid decisions, yes, but I don't think killing Inaho was one of them. From our point of view, it is. But we know a lot of thing he didn't knew. Saving the Count was stupid, but I think it could be explained by his trauma of ''Orange'' (I'll explain that later in the post). Let me ask you something : in which way should he had felt empathy toward Inaho? We spectator saw his relationship with the princess from a different way. From his perception, this is the same guy who said that he would ''use'' the princess to save the humanity. The second time he see him, she in the fortress of the enemy (you know, a REALLY dangerous place where you shouldn't normally bring a princess, ya' know?) and she get shot right before his eyes. Let's not see it from a romantic POV, but purely factual. When I ''use'' something, it's not really for the benefit of the said object, it is purely for my benefit.

And here he is, bringing the princess and ''using her'' to desactivate the Aldnoah. Don't get me wrong, they had no other choice, it was the right decision. But you know what Inaho did wrong, exactly when he decided to stand against Slaine? It was to let him live. If he didn't let him live, nothing of that would have happened. He should have listened to Mike advice, ''no more half measures''.

That's the reason I'm not that mad against Slaine nor Inaho. I'm more mad against the writter, who decided to go with some cheap dark twist that wasn't necessary to make a good story. They wanted to go really edgy, the same mistake Code Geass did with Suzaku.

Slaine is the better character. At least he has a fucking personality.

I'm glad Inaho is dead(even though he probably isn't). He's an emotionless robot and a super genius. How many times have we seen this type of character, and yet people keep eating it up.

What I find hilarious is how people say ''these kind of characters are rare!''
Fu-cking-Se-riou-sly? Neither of them are original nor rare. Both are type of characters that have been used and overused. You can tell me that you love these type of characters, that's good, your tastes. But don't tell me they're rare. The stoic character that get shit done isn't something new, sorry to break your bubble.

Edit : Oh, and since I already see the ''oh yeah?? well names me characters like Inaho!'' reply, I won't bother to name them and just direct you to that page. Sorry people, I'm just too lazy to make you a list or whatever.

Problem with that claim is that the princess did not ACT like she was being used. She acted like she cared about Inaho's wellbeing. Slaine was just jealous and possessive. End of story. STop trying to glorify the pathetic wretch
