THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Oh boy, we get some Slaine''s mental breakdown this episode...thought this might of came sometimes this season.

At least the series got back somewhat into action mode again?? although pacing of the first half is slow. Actually, there's barely any action this episode at all lol.

One interesting part I think is how it transited with Mazuurek's mission to find the princess. Dat charm though and memories though. I think Asseylum is remembering more and more. Meh probably more action later...

So who was saying that Slaine is still perfectly sane?

Hmm actually there's more action than I had thought for first 7 or so minutes but didn't get what I was expecting. Hope it gets more intense soon, which is something I would expect with all this buildup. Inaho needs to be careful..

No I watched whole thing but couldn't remember all of the first 10 minutes. Basically, no one important died as I was expecting more of a full out invasion war to be main the focus this episode.

I liked the fact that for once, Inaho and the Terrans got rekt....The battle wasn't as hype as I thought it was going to be but it was still intense....Those mechs used were pretty awesome and as a unit they were pretty OP...RIP random fodder

Fake Princess really is a dumbass and I still don't feel an ounce of pity for her at all....But looks like she knows that Seylum is back

Slaine accepted that he'll never be happy and I laughed at the fact that he want's Seylum to never remember anything.....Even so his tactics in the battle were great and I like how even the Terrans are giving him respect in that aspect

In regards to Inaho, I will not be surprised if this guy's eye takes over him and he goes full cyborg without a mind of his own...That would be a huge shock for me O_O

Other than that, the episode was pretty decent I guess.....And thank you god, Seylum remembers everything.....Bro Orbital Knight, you did good my friend *Thumb up*

Inahos usage of his robo eye is starting to take its toll.

We learn that Slaine is planning to kill off Lemrina eventually.

The earth leaders seem to want to send earths forces to a quick death.

Slaine won't be content untill Earths forces are obliterated.

Slaine made it obvious he despises earth.

I thought we would see a major death this episode.

Aldnoah zero you tease!

Well no one expected Marbaredge to do a point blank strafing run and landing in the middle of the battlezone to save the gang. So her strategy was unconventional but effective even if some of their systems got fried by lightning.

Throw sheer numbers at them. I guess there really is a mass production of mechs and human pilots somewhere, where the central command can just say "you know what, we are cannon fodder, so let's just throw more lives away."

So it looks like by the time Inaho and the Asseylum meet each other, Inaho would lose a "part" of himself because of the side effects of his robot eye.

And a toast to Lemrina who will start her Yandere love on Slaine because of her discovery that he's been going to Asseylum and lying to her.

Either Lemrina will try to screw Slaine's plan to rise in power, or she will try and get rid of Asseylum. I hope she secretly sends Asseylum back to earth away from Slaine to get rid of her.

Well this episode set up alot, things are going to get interesting from here on out.

While i expect it to come into play, i'm unsure that inaho will die, my guess is that he's going to have some kind of handicap show up either at the end of the show, or during the the final phase of the anime he's going to end up like asselum and lose most of his memory, albeit probably a more permanent situation, just a guess as considering the type of show this is.

And while i'm not surprised on slaine's insanity coming to light (not a fan of slaine), i didn't expect him to go from being somewhat of a unfortunate albeit incompetent villain to being a outright genocidal monster in the span of a few episodes, so bravo on that one.

WEll this episode pretty much established Slaine as an insane genocidal psychopath. Good to know.

Every episode makes me despise Slaine so much more as we see the scope of lives he has ruined with his actions. Inaho, Aseylum, most of earth, even the psychobitch Lemrina. What he did to Aseylum's life is especially infuriating.
All of them got their lives destroyed by his bullshit. And Mazuurek is sure to die from his hand as well now.

And in this episode we see him trying to manipulate Edelrittuo telling her what she wants to hear(that he doe sit all for princess, blah blah).

I do not remember a character I would be made to hate by narrative so much in quite some time.
I hope the pay off of his fall will be magnificently satisfying.

Hopefully next episode the princess escapes. It is hilarious though that Slaine's locket, yet again rings death and destruction. And this time a thing Slaine gifted to her is crucial to her bond with Inaho.

not knowing the personalities involved, Mazuurek took some real risks.

Inaho must have had a huge effect, really put the bug in M's ear to an extent the story didn't emphasize.

Well then whatever is Slaine hiding from the fake princess meant that he's busted, so will the fake princess go against him, do something bad to the real princess or will she just stay dumb like nothing has happened?

disagree; Slaine appears to have normal emotions. He appears to empathize with Seylum for example, or when he shouted Eddy down recently he knew immediately how she felt.

Not a psychopath, maybe insane, probably genocidal.

What this ep showed clearly for the first time, IMHO, is that Slaine's completely about Slaine. for S, Selfishness RULES.

So a 16 year old has detailed knowledge about biomechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics (standard with engineering I suppose), chemistry, classical literature and music and history (among other things that they probably haven't shown us). Japan has some amazing students! He didn't even finish high school yet and knows all this!

Interesting how the eye just randomly can do things now like picking up radio signals, who knows what power it contains still! You know, I think my biggest gripes with this show is that they try to put too many scenarios to make inaho look awesome and it's just badly done.

If they had reeled back in the "awesome" and done things a bit simpler the show would have been a lot better for it. This guy with the cloning mech, obviously didn't think it would make sense for his mech to carry a weapon for whatever reason... I suppose he thinks that it might make too much sense? Things might be too effective or easy? Who knows. Slaine's storyline is at least good but that's mostly because of his political movements rather than him being awesome.

I do not see him empathizing with Seylum, tbh. I see him empathizing with how HE feels about it. And a lot of what he says or does feels more like he is playing Edelrittuo(just like Lemrina) than empathizing with her.

And both this and previous episode shows that he considers the possibility of offing either of princesses the moment they become a problem.

Honestly the fight at the beginning was lame, they built it up last week to be some kind of epic deciding battle and nothing big really happened. They won, but they didn't kill anyone important. Boring.

I really liked that small scene at the beginning showing Sauzbaum having the princess looked after. There was some feels. I miss him now, its understandable why Slaine had him killed but I kinda wish he didn't. Seemed Sauzbaum was regretful for trying to kill the princess out of anger.

On another note...the duplication ability. Seriously? That's almost as cheap as the future-seeing ability. Maybe even more. Can you image what you could do with that technology? This is bloody magic, screw sci-fi.

Slaine isn't playing smart with Lemrina at all. He really out to actually appreciate her. I mean she's fully devoted to him.

good points both - excessive reactivity makes him even more suited as Inaho's opposite or counterpoint.
