I think they could have just left the "light being absorbed too" part off and it would have been fine, but the writer was a little overzealous.

There's no excuse, even from a Martian standpoint; Mars is notorious for its massive dust storms, how would Martian machines be able to operate in their native territory if they had such glaring weaknesses. |

This. It's much easier to hide an antenna behind armor then put a camera there. Eventually with all the random shooting at the mechs a round is going to hit that camera, leading earth to notice the gap in the armor whereas a round striking the armor isn't. I would think this type of battle is a one off. You can't rely only on a single guerrilla style op to defeat everyone.

As was the lack of onboard cameras. (Just use tiny lenses.) Also, Inaho was lucky the hole was big enough to pass a giant knife through. And what did Trillram think was going to happen when he told Slaine he'd tried to kill the princess, and would do it again? Still, the episode was fun. It made it easier to ignore how dumbfuck stupid the setting was. |

It not like we know every bits and pieces about the properties of Aldnoah Light(the light), also the animator will want to show us the actual chasing sequence with a visible machine rather a black mass of nothingness and there also the anime's logics. Overthinking about these trivial stuff isn't gonna give you the answer anyway, just focus on the ones that make sense.

I think Trillram really believes that Slaine is inferior to him and is too dumb and scared to actually say anything. To Trillram, it would be like yelling out your anger to a dog.

I have a feeling that any hopes of the Princess (or Slaine) finding support from Count Cruhteo may be quite short-lived. Saazbaum was already preparing a meteor bombardment from orbit, which was going to put the landing castle under a degree of risk; if he finds out that Triilram is dead and that the Princess is still alive, what is to stop him targeting Cruhteo's castle directly?
(At least seeing a castle be destroyed in such a fashion would show that they are not quite invulnerable.) At this point, I wonder if, rather than coming to her aid directly, Cruhteo's death (should it happen) may end up being the trigger for a VERS civil war, especially if he is able to send out a communication to the other clans before the meteors hit. A split between loyalist and opportunist clans on a broader scale might have a longer-term impact, and would mean that the Princess herself (and probably Slaine, too) would be more or less obliged to stay with whoever survives the coming attack rather than link up with a loyalist VERS force any time soon.

Then they should come up with a weakness that let them do all that while making sense. It's not really that hard you know. They fucked up because they were lazy. They know a lot of viewers won't care if the series makes sense as long as the production values are good and the girls are cute.

The armor stuff was a bit cheesy though. The mecha should have been pitch black and still the martians would have had the option to pulse the juice of the armor and to time data acquisition between 2 pulse of the armor.

Then looking at this picture of her with the Emperor, he too wears an interesting medallion necklace, also with a red jewel and what looks like a jeweled planet. Could these necklaces be related to their power? Also, no one else is wrapped up in winter clothing, and being from Mars the princess should be used to cold weather. However, still she wears a large scarf that hides her neck? Could it be that she's hiding the necklace that would stay the same no matter her appearance? Just a thought...

Oh wow. Trillram is a huge idiot, spouting out his traitorous intentions in front of Slaine like that. Isn't it odd how he murdered the assassins in episode 2 so they couldn't divulge the secret behind the assassination, yet he himself revealed it in front of Slaine, somebody whom he had no idea was in on the plan? He must be incredibly dense to think Slaine would continue to cooperate with him after saying that.
Anyway, this may be the first episode of this show I've enjoyed watching to some degree. The fight in this episode was fun to watch and fairly plausible, although I do wonder why the Martian sky cameras have to be so close to the ground. They have amazing force fields but bad camera zoom? And after 3(!) episodes Inaho finally got the chance to show how his analytical skill can be applied to combat. If this leads to a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure style of action where power levels don't matter and every possible weak spot and environmental element is exploited, maybe this show can truly impress me. That would require the Martians to not use brain-dead battle tactics though. |

This was a good episode but it was also somewhat disappointing. This series is on track to be something more like Valvrave or Code Geass rather than Gundam 8th MS team or Sidonia. It's unfortunate for those who wanted a realistic mecha show but I still think it will be enjoyable.
Looking forward to the next episode. |
