One episode devoted to romance subplot and no story progress. I cannot wish for less... She acts like a complete ditz. She's good natured and graceful but she's still a ditz. The episode progressed: bad guy got Slaine. Not enough to justify your statement about Hime... Oh ok, but can you find any serious people her who agree with you that is a story progress? Compred to how much subplot we are getting and how many potentials wasted? |

| to think that cruhteo will be the man who stop this war (via slaine of course) vanished after saazbaum come and kill him first i thought cruhteo is the bad guy just hated a terran (read:slaine) but his swear to asseylum is real, so the only bad guy is saazbaum. i wonder what will happend to slaine in the next episode.. |

Ah well a guy can dream (Oh, haven't seen that comment.) Yes, please. I was thinking the same. An angry wounded martian count going rogue is perfect. And I will be very disappointed, if they don't show what happens to the Cruhteo's castle afterwards. |
| F*ck why did they have to kill off Count Cruhteo, that is some straight up BS at the ending. Finally grown attached to his character, and then the ending happen. My god Slaine and the Count are sworn loyalties to the Princess. I felt really bad for Slaine; being captured, tortured, and then being captured again by Saazbaum. One thing we know is that he is the one for the assassination attempt of the Princess. |
| The Terrans are all boring.. |
| Inaho really was a dick for shooting down Slaine last episode if Slaine was gonna end up in the torture chamber. I suppose Slaine went into the interrogation thinking Count Cruhteo was one of the bad guys and the plot twist at the end was that Cruhteo was actually loyal to the princess. |
 |
| Are people REALLY trying to argue against cruchteo's survival by arguing realism? This is the kind of show that would be perfectly fine with revealing that he had some uber super duper aldnoah teleporter and escaped it that way. Or got saved by aliens or whatever. Expecting logic, reason and realism for this is... fst said: Kaioshin_Sama said: The characters are too flat and one note to have any sort of meaningful romance though that doesn't mean it can't happen. There's already plenty of ship tease with Slaine and the Princess. Whatever happens, it can't be worse than Gundam romance.  |

I feel like it is going down, not progressing. Again, I don't see SlaineXHime drama could contribute anything to the plot except at the end, Hime points her gun at Slaine to put him out of misery. Then I will reconsider this episode. But if they just reunite happily, I will call it a meh. Spending the whole episode just to highlight the "dramatic" reunion is really stupid. novian14 said: to think that cruhteo will be the man who stop this war (via slaine of course) vanished after saazbaum come and kill him first i thought cruhteo is the bad guy just hated a terran (read:slaine) but his swear to asseylum is real, so the only bad guy is saazbaum. i wonder what will happend to slaine in the next episode.. Let me tell you. Saazbaum will trick Slaine and give him Nikorelas. He will send Slaine to go after Inaho group to 'rescue" Hime. Inaho and Slaine will fight. Saazbaum will gain Slain's trust to find out more about his father. I can't see another episode of torturing Slaine with the "kissing scene" keeping flashing in front of my eyes. I have enough this episode already. Remember to thank me if I'm right. |

Just proving that there can be way worse than worst gundam romance in mecha, by posting a pic of the worst girl. |

| Yo, don't be hatin' on ma gurl Shouko. |
| Like some have commented, I think I thought Cruhteo's shift in personality at the end was way too sudden. His attitude has been consistently along the lines of *Terrans are cockcroaches* and now suddenly after working things out regarding the princess, he thinks Slaine is a hero? Come on screenwriter... Inaho is so incredibly meh... |

D: I would hate it to end like that. |
| O MY GOD. SLAINE WHY CANT YOU CATCH A BREAK, MAN? I guess he used up all his luck when he crashed onto Mars right in time for the Princess to give him mouth to mouth.. Count Cruheto is dead there goes the last chance for peace. I wonder why that guy wanted Slaine, wouldn't of been better to eliminate the witness to the Princess? Or does he want her location from him? |
fst said: Yo, don't be hatin' on ma gurl Shouko. sorry,was that her name? I don't seem to recall the worst girl mary sue's name. The only thing i selectively chose to remember from that mess was best girl Saki. |

I have enough this episode already. Remember to thank me if I'm right. If im Slaine, I dont need any motivation to go after Inaho. Slaine would probably beg the Martians to let him go after Inaho. It is on!!! Maybe. And Saazbaum agree that Slaine will be the one who 'rescue" Hime. Enough to gain his trust. And more, When Inaho sees Slaine piloting Nikorelas, he will assume that Slaine is the one who killed his friend. That should be fun. And we can count Hime's misunderstanding too when Slaine will try to kill Inaho. I feel like I am spoiling. |
| Damn I thought that Inaho and the gang would have captured Slaine but Instead he got picked up by the bad guys and now he's miles away from the princess and Inaho after being so close! I always thought Cruhteo wasn't in on the plot, he was one of the few truly loyal to the princess and I actually felt bad for him they way he was annihilated before he became a powerful ally. At this rate Slaine and Inaho will almost certainly be set against one another as Slaine thinks he must 'save' the princess. |

They could give him another mecha, but that only if he has the aldnoah power. |

D: I would hate it to end like that. The Aldnoah Zero poster depicts Inaho with Orange and Slaine with Nikoleras. I don't think they put it like that without a reason. And from what I can see from ep5, Nikoleras was found by Saazbaum and it was pretty fine. He should have the ability to fix that Kat. Put Nikoleras aside, I have a strong feeling that Slaine will go to "rescue" Hime and cause a misunderstanding. What if I tell you Sliane will kill Yuki and cause Inaho emotions to break? That's one hell of an interaction between Inaho and Slaine, which certainly help Inaho grow . (they stated that Slaine will help Inaho grow) |

Inaho is so incredibly meh... Remember the comment from Rayest about "commoners working to prove themselves in battle"? For Cruhteo, Slaine probably clicked from being "worthless terran" to "common martian loyalist". |

At this rate Slaine and Inaho will almost certainly be set against one another as Slaine thinks he must 'save' the princess. On the episode 7 forum, I said that Slaine is Luigi from the Mario Bros. Luigi doesnt get to save the princess. Mario gets to save the princess (Mario is Inaho). Toad is that short chick thats always next to the princess. Im a Slaine fan, so Im being fair here. Omg, that little girl is totally Toad. That explains why I find her so annoying. |

They did say something about the Nikoleras, you're right. Though I didn't think that he was necessary standing next to his own mecha on the poster... On the other hand, that's a mecha without an owner now. I, personally, don't look forward to it. Nikoleras was designed better than Argyre, but it is still ugly, and I hoped to see prettier mecha for Slaine. Compassghost said: Does anyone feel like Cruhteo's "Ready my Tharsis" is a running gag? I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned several times already, and never has Tharsis actually been seen. Yep, that was funny in a way. But I wanted to see Tharsis, since it is named after a giant volcanic plateau, that has several giant volcanoes on it, so it should be an interesting mecha, armed with something that has high temperatures. |

They said it in this episode but it escaped me. No wonder, since she is called something like Edelruttio. Edit: Eddelrittuo, to be precise. She is too short for such a name. |
| Slaine got tortured pretty badly geez... but seriously Cruhteo went from whipping the shit out of him to being all sorry and sympathetic. Of course just when Slaine got on Cruhteo's goodside and Chruhteo knows the truth about the conspiracy he gets freaking killed by laser sword. Oh well.... looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| Slaine is going to be brainwashed by Saazbaum into thinking that Cruhteo was the one behind the assassination faction, and is probably going to become an antagonist, so that either Inaho or Asseylum will end up killing him.My feels! |
| oh ffs Cruhteo gets killed a minute after it is revealed he is a good guy... hope he survived. him being good was an actual surprise. the series gets a +1 if Crutheo emerges in his tharsis next episode to chase Saazbaum |
| Calm not being true to his name when in the presence of Asseylum XD That was harsh. Real harsh. Then again, it did prove to Cruhteo how loyal Slaine is to Princess Asseylum. Hope Cruhteo isn't dead. And now Slaine will have to go through more suffering... |

 |
| Poor Slaine ... :( He didnt deserve this torture !. He is just too loyal to princess...:( If only Inaho didn't leave him there...Baka Inaho. |
| How can those characters be so awful? There isn't one likeable and properly written character in this whole damn show. At least that ending was interesting. I think I will now start cheering for Count Suuzbahm. I hope he will wipe out that Android together with Stalker. And what is the purpose of Princess again? Totally useless character. They could at least provide some fanservice so she would have a reason to be there. Anyway, I'm looking forward to character development in hot spring episode. |

I am not defending the Princess as a character but she does have a point... even if it's a moderately convenient one. She's the one that will grant the terrans with the Aldnoah power. She's one of the characters I am least angered by because she at the very least has a personality even if it's 1-dimensional and awkwardly written. I'll admit her flipping the soldier was completely unnecessary though. lol Now... her little helper loli... THAT is an annoying useless character. Also, if there is a hot spring or beach episode. I am done. One of the only things that would make me drop the show at this point. I guess it does depend on the execution but still. |
| Why didn't Inaho and the rest of them captured Slaine,after they crashed him down,for interrogation for example,not leave him,so that the Martians can beat him,them hug him,then blast him,and then pick him up and hug him again :D |
I'm old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway |
| One of the strongest episodes ive seen this season |
slovak125 said: Anyway, I'm looking forward to character development in hot spring episode. That would be a bit hard to pull off, since they're going to Russia, and it's always winter in anime Russia, but if they stop on Kamchatka, there's a good chance. |
y123y said: A-Knight said: Princess is actually a decent character. She's a good female leader and not one of those annoying feminist types trying to prove something. So you have no problems with her slamming that guy in the beginning for no reason at all? And then she proceeds to claim she is "friendly" right after slamming that guy... |

He will not be such antagonists, I guess. He will be like Athrun, a hero on the wrong side. But still, I bet he will be brainwashed by Saazbaum like you say and go after Inaho. And I have a strong feeling that Yuki or one of Inaho's friends will be killed by him. It will be more dramatic if Hime kills Slaine herself. And that would give this episode some credits. |
| Slaine!!!! 😫😫😫😫 My precious Slaine! 😭😭😭 |
| I seldom doubt Saazbaum is going to let his prize go into a dangerous battlefield by himself. Unless Slaine tries to escape and he has to tail him so he won't die. |

Throughout the whole show she has done nothing, besides trembling in a corner. And now finally, she revealed herself and ofc she must did it in style using martial arts on random guy because why not. Women are strong! is the message i think. I expect something more from every character, more dialogues to show their motives, personalities. Not showing 103523x f***ing kiss scene. I'll vomit if they put it in there again. It must take considerable skill to screw every character that hard. Hats off to whoever wrote script. |
