Aldnoah.Zero

[lelouch]

Nah dude that's not right

[Ryllharu]

I watch this show for Inko.

Though it was pretty clever of Inaho to rile her up to use her as a baseline. We also saw how much more of it is in him. It's a lot more than just a cyborg eye, they gave him brain replacement parts and additional processing power.

His personality is also changing a little. The old Inaho didn't seem like he would ever tease Inko like that. Rayet noticed what he was doing even if Inko didn't.


I'll also admit that I like the fake princess a little more this episode. Cliché as it may be, I do enjoy, "I'll steal everything from you!" characters. It shows the viewers more about the other characters. Slaine's already falling for it, even if he pines after Seylum in the tube, the Emperor was happy to see her alive at all that he doesn't bother looking harder, Inaho will already be disgusted by her, etc.

[fireheart]

Yes they are. Lelouch is 100% strategy. Inaho is 100% tactics.

Doesn't really matter since it doesn't change the points I mentioned. Unless you refute those points my statement stands that they're not really that different.

[KrayZ33]

Nah dude that's not right

It's correct...

A strategy is a campaign plan, a tactic describes the actions to gain an objective of said strategy/plan.

Lelouch did indeed handle both sides.

What the fuck is this "wind" that they keep referring to?

I always thought they meant the gravitational pull caused by the asteroids
Which is why each bullets goes left, then up, then down, then left etc.... which is weird but meh.

[Ryllharu]

Fine, then don't call it "wind".

Wind in the context of space means one very specific thing, that isn't what they're using it for.

edit:

Buff answered it too before this silly debate about how to compare Code Geass to this.

[shinta|hikari]

The new OP and ED suck, at least in comparison to the ones in the first season.

I find it funny how "No differences" was playing while Earthlings and Martians are killing each other.

Hey, the sky is blue for a different reason in A/Z. I don't mind them using a term differently. They even call their mechs "horses/steeds."

[Buffalobiian]

?

I thought we established last time that the Rey-whatever effect was actually a thing and probably does contribute to the blue in our sky.

[shinta|hikari]

Okay I got confused. What was the reason Slaine mentioned again?

[Ryllharu]

I can't find the exact wording because I can't find that scene where she describes it and Inaho gives her an "Um, Actually...", but over the years, Slaine has told both Princesses that the sky is blue using the explanation usually given to children, that it is because of refracted light.

Inaho described the correct answer to Asseylum, Rayleigh scattering. Blue light gets scattered more, thus the sky appears blue.

[MFauli]

just watched the new episode.

so .... why dont terrans implement the technology of inaho´s eyes into their kataphrakts, so thatt eeeeverybody can calculate ideal shots? And in case you want to say "it would still lack inaho´s mind skills", that´s bs, unless this version of earth has shitty coders who cannot create an adequate software.

man, even though slaine is such a bastard, im rooting for him to beat inaho.

why would they even need to pilot the mechs themselves if they could do that? Let "AL" handle it.

Episode 3:

---------------------------

Well that was unexpected. I don't fully understand Slaine. I hated both Saazbaum and Inaho as characters in the beginning. As soon as I start liking either of them, he kills them. Now I don't like him. Will he kill himself?

[KrayZ33]

It's cool how things turned out for him... it was really odd when he spared Saazbaum back in Season 1. Turns out he used him to climb up the ranks to change into Evil-Suzaku, so he can "change whats wrong from withing"

HS - Episode 04

------------------







Aldnoah Zero - Fight between two supercomputers.

I just realised Yuki is the only person who can get Rayet to smile.

The gravity knight better survive. With Asseylum out of the picture he's the only one who can start some meaningful Martian-Earthling conversation.

[Ryllharu]

I'm just glad that there was an episode that almost didn't require Inaho. Marito and Yuki figured it out all on their own. Someone else intelligent exists!

Any orbital artillery unit could have provided the attack they needed to damage the kataphract. Inaho was more for the "reuniting" with Yuki than his actual assistance.

What I don't care for is Slaine being played up as a tactical genius all of a sudden. The guy was an idiot last season. His skill is almost entirely from the kataphract. Outside the cockpit he's still an idiot, the bastard princess is playing him like a fiddle.

[Xelbair]

I think that his sudden increase in tactical and political skills is due to:
a) Saazbaum teaching him over the time
b) He's using Tharsis to gain insight to the future.

[shinta|hikari]

Agreed. It's still annoying as hell, though.

[MFauli]

I never got the future seeing thing. How exactly is he enabled to do that? You mention the Tharsis. How does it work?

As for the episode, can I claim to be as intelligent as Inaho now? lol :P
Dropping something onto this Aldnoah-powered Kataphrakt was exactly my train of thought. I only wondered what they could use for it. Of course, Inaho had a satellite up there i

[Buffalobiian]

It's just some sort of prediction/calculation engine, much like Inaho's eye. The difference being Tharsis outputs this visually as to require less thinking. It also has superior performance to earth units such that it can also react to said predictions.

HS - Episode 05

--------------------------------












Fret not, Inko. You don't need a diet.

This episode's dialogue moved the story further than the other 4 did. There's been action, but really nothing's happened since it's just Earth vs Mars. Internal investigation like what Slaine did last season is what's required.

Fight-wise, there's no competition other than Inaho vs Tharsis. Everything else will just die in the wake of either of those. The princess needs to be careful too. I do believe she underestimates Slaine if she thinks she can free herself from his cage just by being an entitled princess.
