Spoiler for 14:

*Beep* Analyzing weight.... *Beep* Analyzing emotional state...

Wow Inaho teasing a girl.... wow. Unexpected.

The mech battles are great to watch as always.

Spoiler for Episode 2:

Best episode so far, finally our boys know each other name. Also the OP might give us a hint that there might be a possibly that these two will work together. It look like our new princess really has a thing for Slaine and it really seem like they are going toward Inaho x Asseylum judging by the OP.

I really like the Ed, but ALIEz can't be topped.

But not before they fight for the girl.

Spoiler for Ep14:

That was a pretty good episode. They really know how to make good use of the OST. The hype building up as Inaho and Slaine are approaching each other while in combat is pretty awesome. Inaho might be an oddball, but it does allow him to be a force out there. Kind hilarious that in his trainer unit you still have no doubt he can fight head to head against Slaine in the Tarsis .

There is a lot of manipulation and messing around going on with the Marsians. No surprise the younger princess is frustrated, angry and trying to steal everything from her sister. Although she's really only stealing things that don't matter. Go ahead and steal Slaine . She's got a ugly side to her personality, but can definitely see where that came from.

At the same time Slaine is doing what he thinks he has to in order to accomplish his goals. While back to being manipulated by that count. Gets a great force on the battlefield and he can stay nice and safe while I presume his new unit is being put together.

Not surprising that Inaho wanted to get as much confirmation that the Asseylum on the video is a fake as possible. Of course leaves him not knowing what her condition is or if she's even alive right now.

Not a bad episode .

And yet again, Inaho is the only person who can do anything. At least this time it's clear it's because of his cyborg eye.

Ah that might explain why he didn't take that shot

If it's his cyborg eye, it's pretty stupid that the Feds don't have that technology built into their targeting computers.

It would make a lot more sense if Inaho was using the same Aldnoah power that allowed Slaine to dodge his shots.

But knowing this show, it's probably the first.

[DevilHighDxD]

Slaine also seem to relinquish his Aldnoah that was granted by Asseylum and become her sister's knight. So now only Inaho possessed the Aldnoah that was granted by Asseylum. Talk about loyalty...

[Sixth]

Princess Lemrina: I will take everything from you and make it mine.
Princess Asseylum: Go ahead...I have better deal.
Princess Lemrina: WHAT?

and Orange Kat is OP. Stomping Mars since episode 3.

Even Inaho knew that his "orange" color kat can strike fear into the enemies's heart just from looking it.

and the opening and ending theme in the S2 are horrible.

the cybernetic eye only gives him more information. It doesn't tell you where exactly to aim or dodge to. It's up to people to use that information. And it's obvious that inaho is the smartest person in the earth's forces so he just makes the most use of it.

Not everyone can calculate all those math equations in their heads. It's for geniuses like Inaho.


regarding the episode, i'm a bit ehh when Inaho said all those things to Inko :/

[Stark700]

That cybernetic eye is quite something....didn't know it had those capabilities.

Idk why but the pacing felt odd this episode. The first half was slow with Slaine while the pacing picked up fairly fast in the second half. Slaine (Bat) vs. Inaho (Orange) already huh? Well, this definitely won't be their final encounter for the season.

Regarding the OST, I think they played a new one that I haven't heard before.

[lubczyk]

This episode had some good bits, but Inaho becomes more savant and unbearable by the week. How can Inaho fight as well in space as he does on Earth with no training? How can he figure out Hime is a fake though voice reflection? Did he have training on that too like his training on fighting in space? It's Gary Stu to the highest order.

[hai_san]

Well that was a beautiful ep, the fight was great... Inaho now own the mars mechs easy... 1-hit 1kill... no more invincible shield with an achilles heel from mars kataphracts?

Slaine now has newtype-abilities?...

It was already episode 14, yet you guys still complaining how awesome Inaho was. Do you realized that Inaho is going to be like that to the end of the series? If you cannot accept this, you should stop watching it. Keep bringing up the same old thing is starting to get old.

Inaho had seen Tharsis's ability. I wonder, how Inaho going to deal with this. More science??

It's because that attribute is getting worse and more pronounced as the series goes by.

I'm dying to photoshop "She wants the D" onto Inaho's info display when he was looking at Inko....

This one actually made sense. Her broadcast had her say something incorrect about why the sky was blue, which I believe he told her correctly about in the previous season. Since the fake Princess was taught by the same person who gave the real Princess the incorrect information that Inaho corrected, he knew something was amiss.

This. Plus, it's not like much else is really happening so far. Almost entirely just ground work being layed, which doesn't breed much conversation until its eventual payoff.
