| We all think the ending sucked. Should we think we really need an alternative, better ending to this one? |
 |
| I think that only a remake can help. The setting is fundamentally flawed - nothing can change that. The few memorable characters have been way too twisted by the bad writing. |
| The story isn't done yet. If it were, then yeah, gimme a sequel where Asseylum never wakes up, Slaine kills Inaho, marries Lemrina, beats the UFE and destroys the barriers between the Vers Empire and Earth through unification. |
| The anime was so bad imo |
 |
| I would say it needs a continuation more so an alternative ending. So lemme get this straight. Inaho "saves" Slaine because Asseylum "asked" him to...BUT by doing that, you're just imprisoning him for essentially life for all the atrocities that he committed against the UFE. I mean, he can never be free now because they did declare he's dead. Asseylum wanted to have mercy on him, but his punishment is essentially WORSE than death. They never did solve the whole Lemrina issue either and then, there's the whole issue about Asseylum betrothing herself to somebody she barely knows? (I have less of an issue on that one since I wouldn't have cared if she ended up with Inaho, Slaine, or neither)...but it felt like a pretty groan worthy moment since I think her whole point of doing it was just so she could claim leadership of Vers. Um...okay...WHY? You're the fucking Princess of Vers? Why do you need to get married to take over leadership? Just grab it by the balls and saying "alright, this shit sucks. I'm taking over leadership of the country and putting a stop to this foolishness." It's obvious that her dad was just a raving lunatic at that point that no one took seriously. Hell, he was already being used as a pawn because he was so God damn delusional. You know Vers is a messed up society when their leader is such a senile, delusional psychopath on his death bed and they just follow his orders anyway...or use his orders for their own personal gains. I hate comparing Asseylum to Cagalli from Gundam Seed Destiny (because that's probably a comparison no one wants), but that's the sort of leadership role Asseylum could've taken, without obviously being a bitch of a character like Cagalli. On the whole, I'd say Aldnoah.Zero was just average. I wouldn't call it bad, but I'll admit the ending was rather weak for a series that was pretty decent leading up to it. I think if it got a continuation that kinda alters the scope of everything, it might be a better series. |

kymano said: Counts lacked leadership positions, their only leader is on a deathbed, their previous leader got imprisoned, their new leader is a big sell-out .Yeah Vers is totally screwed. In their situation they should lament the daeth of Slaine. He was the least of evils for them - dedicated, hard-working, not looking for a chance to run to the Earth to see birds, formally a son of Saazbaum. You can even expect them to take his name on a banner, because of his martyrdom. "Even a lowly terran could understand that our cause is just and fought for us at the very top!" |
| This series should have a completely different sequel. Inaho should have died and the Princess as well also that Count that make Slaine a villain. Slaine should have been a avenger trying to avenge the Princess and saving the Earth that the Princess love so much by what TheIMF said. |

kymano said: Inaho's visit to Slaine on the Asseylum's "peace" day is something I still wonder about, Inaho is a Captain or Lutienant under the UFE military shouldnt the UFE be worried that one of their highly privileged soldier is not present on a very important event? Unless he is a general, as people joke, I don't think his presense is that important. The officials must attend, I doubt military personnell is that important. And if he is off-duty, he can do whatever. The question is why he chooses to do so. And why Asseylum doesn't question it. As for the accepyance of Slaine's death - what can they do, if he is announced dead? |
kymano said: No, im stating why did Inaho choose "that" particular day to visit Slaine, it would create less commotion if Inaho chose another day instead of "that" one. Counts need a leader, Asseylum is now their leader yet ,she doesnt understand them well enough to act without dicussing anything with them.Counts are not only the military they are also the Politicians , i'd be a problem if the UFE began offing Counts one by one since they can now harness the Aldnoah. But even if Inaho has a high military rank, it's not that he has been appointed the official representative of the Earth in all matters. He doesn't have obligation to attend all the official gatherings. But yeah, his visit to Slaine on exactly that day (though was it necessary that day? or just some day in the happy ever after?) seems as another unnecessary pandering to fujoshi, to be honest. Normally he shouldn't have, unless he means it as a gesture to Asseylum or Asseylum specifically asked him to. Also I mean that if Slaine is announced dead, counts don't know that he is kept in a prison and won't attempt to free him. Only his name can be used. As for Asseylum not managing to unite all the counts - it was to be expected. Though I am surprised that the writers didn't opt for a completely happy ending (well, outside the Slaine's suffering, but it's a norm). |
| An alternate ending? I must have missed a scene, surely, because I didn't view an ending of any sort when watching S2. You can't have an alternate ending when there was no ending in the first place. Just saying, like. No matter what they do now, the series is screwed. Gary won't die, Slaine won't stop being emo and Princess Moe won't stop being Princess Moe. The series was done from the moment it continued from the S1 cliffhanger with no-one dead. Or maybe that moment when a "lowly terran" so easily become the supreme leader of Space Nazis hellbent on the genocide of his kind. Or maybe when Gary's eye ate his brain. Anything added or changed now would be entirely superficial. |
| no it needs an alternate anime |
| After ep1 of S2 the series was already so far beyond saving, it just needed to be put down. |

| Aldnoah Zero reminds me a bit of Guilty Crown. Visuals and sound were good, some action scenes were good as well, but story... To many loose ends, some parts made no sense at all...I doubt that I need to list them all. We all know what I am talking about. To decide if it actually needs a remake is quite hard. Personally I still believe that most of the problems could be solved with sequel/OVA to make watching it much better experience... |
