Why do people some people hate Aldnoah.Zero so much? Of all the anime it aired along with, I've seen nasty comments for season 1 and 2. Nor do I understand why the ranking is lower than 500.

The characters and story are crap. People dont 't like the CGI mechs. The only redeeming factor of this show is the ost.

They have too many expectations like "It's the Game of Thrones Anime" so when they saw it, they ended up hating it.

Because they thought it'd be a cool war anime with interesting world-building and a little bit of rivalry on the side, and what they got was Slaine vs. Inaho with not so much world building and a little bit of war on the side.

People would hate A/Z because of plot holes, unresolved questions, HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPENED (Still waiting how exactly they create a Cybernetic Eye on Inaho I mean COME ON! HOW COULD HE SURVIVED!) & etc. I mean sometimes they don't really explained shit.

Geez, for me, the vers enemies gets killed with NO last word before death & that's it, they're out.

Ugh! Why is this thing keep calling me in my head when it comes to this thought. I feel like THIS would be an another Guilty Crown meets Valvrave the liberator for crying out loud which I also got involved with these two! because it keeps replaying the scene over & over again and I can't let go NO matter how good/bad/batshit insane it is!

The truth of the matter is most people started hating it since episode one, when it was confirmed both Inaho and Asseylum survived. They just couldn't stomach the fact that people don't always die from a shot in the eye, and taking into account that this is the MAL, naturally absolutely no effort is made to consider something that is obviously outside of their field of expertise, so they just started hating and writing reviews and rating it with 1, from then on making up plot holes and asking stupid questions, e.g ''WHY WHY DO THE VERS KNIGHTS GO ONE BY ONE, NOT IN GROUP''. Then came the bandwagoners and hipsters, and combined they make up what's currently one of the most hated shows here.

(I'd say the most amusing ones are the people wanting an explanation on Inaho's cyber eye, like the guy two posts above me. Capital letters and exclamation marks make the situation all the more clear.)

AZ is in no way perfect, i'd say it's realistically a bit lower than season 1 in terms of quality, maybe with a 0.5 drop in score. However, it's in no way what alot of MAL users makes it out to be.

Probably the same reason people hate on Gundam so much, though I myself couldn't really tell anyone exactly what that reason is so I'm not sure if that helps.

People saw "Gen Urobuchi" and didn't know he would only write the beginning and end of the whole series... people expected lots of GORE and DEATH. Instead writers trolled by giving them SURVIVAL and LIFE instead. The kids did not get sweet food but salty food and started to throw a tantrum.

I don't remember anywhere where it was said he was writing the script for anything other than the first 3 episodes. Given his lack of any commentary on anything beyond that I'd say it looks like he's done completely with it.

This explains to me why NOBODY gives a shit over everything I post, nothing but reaction with exclamation mark. It's like I actually care about it but others thought I get involved with this anime till I feel overexaggeration all the time & take it so seriously. So what? I have a right to say something that really bothers me.

You think this is funny?! Probably they just ignored it & they wouldn't explain shit even though it's only 5 more episodes left?

For me, it keeps replaying the scene over & over again in my head after all that happened. IF you guys still don't get it, FINE. Whatever you say, people...

While I admit I wouldn't have seen this show if name Urobuchi wasn't attached to the credits, gore and death was not within my expectations. His cynicism has lessened in the last few years after all. What I expected was competent writing and characterization, not the biggest pile of wasted opportunity I've seen.

But it seems that is why it has so much hate. I doubt Aldnoah Zero would've been noticed this much if Gen was never involved. A lot of people expected much, but was greeted with incompetence. A disappointing show spawns much more hate than a bad show ever could.

People give Urobuchi way to much credit, this show would have gotten just as noticed without him. Especially with the studio, director, and composer that are behind it.

True, the cast and crew was of many talented names, so this would've been highly noticed either way. However, the fact that promotions went out of their way to mention Urobuchi whenever they could, despite only writing the three first episodes shows that his name carries weight. I definitely don't think that Aldnoah Zero's story would've met with much expectation if he was never involved.

I don't know about others, but I express a strong dislike for certain shows to offset all the overly-hyped opinions of others (obviously if I don't think the show is as good as they make it out to be). I've got led into a ton of crappy shows simply because I've seen enough people promote it through frequent image sharing, recommendations, list of favourites, and rankings (I know not to follow rank no. too closely).

People have splurged about Aldnoah, Sword Art, Initial D, and Lucky Star. Call it a personal preference, but I've seen better stuff that's unfortunately nowhere as popular.

And I don't think Slaine is a wimp nor a scapegoat. It's just that he put himself in such a position that he has nowhere to return to. He has to continue.

How about not joining in this war in the first place?
Or how about cooperating in ep 7 instead on acting foolish?
Or how about not siding, rescuing and supporting Saaz?
How about not doing everything to make this war go on and exploit Asseylum?
How about having something like loyalty, honor and integrity and not being a warmonger and a lying manipulative hypocrite?

Let me tell you how it is.
He chose to take part in this war.
He chose to act foolish in ep 7 instead on cooperating.
He chose to side, rescue and support Saaz.
He chose to make this war continue and he chose to exploit Asseylum for that.
He chose to not be loyal, to not have honor and to not have integrity and he chose to be a warmonger and a lying manipulative hypocrite.



Slaine had always the options, but because this moron either didn't want to think further or just didn't care, things escalated. He willingly dirtied his hands and he willingly let it go this far. His "tragedy" is only because of himself. He is responsible for his misery.

So his "tagedy" is not tragic, It's just a farce and a facepalmfest.

And if i'm a hater for pointing a the nonsense he does instead to judge his actions through pink fanboyglases, than i can live with that.

Well it's not as bad as Code Geass or Guilty Clown, so I guess it's got that.
Still, the second season is markedly shittier than the first, so much retarded bullshit that makes no sense. It's pretty obviously suffering from the same writing problem Code Geass did, they wrote one season and didn't have any proper contingency plans if a second got cleared, so they have to grasp at straws and make ridiculous reacharounds while stretching suspension of belief well beyond the snapping point to somehow get enough story for more episodes.

But the mecha pewpew is fun at least.

Jeffrey, lose not your hope!

There are decent people on MAL.

As to answer your questions, it is because several factions of MAL have collided, that haven't had an anime to ponder over since Code Geass or some other Psychological thriller.

Gundam is gundam, and is more shoot shoot than the talk talk of Alnoah.
Log horizon had the child arc and so not much going on there. The action fans already went all over Nanatsu no Taizan(probably mispelled) so this is a stand alone during this season.

I was pretty surprised at the rather low ratings myself.

But you should know that people who truly dislike the show will NORMALLY not watch more.

There's quite a few who will continue to watch, suffering and floundering over the countless plotholes they find, with inept Martians and greedy governmental earthlings.

And a few who dislike shows but will watch to the end.

Can't stereotype them all but there you have it.

Quite fun really ^_^

after seeing ep 21 i just facepalmed really hard

so the earth's plan is mounting an assault on THE LANDING CASTLES, but then we were shown the vers engaged them in a FUCKING OPEN PLAINS, and we can see a landing castle in the background

first of all, it's stupid, it's like sending the king out of the fortress walls to engage enemy's army by themselves. And where the fuck were the long range supports of the landing castles? By the end of the 1st season we were shown how formidable landing castles are with it's myriad of Missiles and Gun Batteries, and now not only it didn't do shit while the nobles were being butchered, it even let deucalion flying around like swag without any interference at all

I wanna praise the earthlings but the scenario is too stupid to allows me to do that.

and finally, that quantum teleportation dude, nothing prevented him to copy himself million times BEFORE the battle, or even put a copy of himself in a safe place. Yes, the teleportation range is only 30M, but after it's done, all copies are independent of each other, so it can totally do the 2 things above. The only reason it didn't is because dumb story is dumb.
