So on the one hand there was a lot in this episode that didn't fully make sense, as there has been with every other episode of Aldnoah Zero. It doesn't seem that the vast quantity of inconsistencies is going away any time soon or that the people behind this will make an effort to pay attention to the details they're creating.
I mean, when your great idea for an enemy mech is that it's literally blind and needs remote cameras to see, but also needs receivers for those cameras and couldn't also just fit on a camera too... Hell, why not put the receivers in the damn feet? It's not like you need line of sight for wireless communication, especially not when you have technology that can absorb literally everything. Quote:
Throwing all the crap spewed out by this episode aside, I can say that I was at least entertained. Even if AZ has the attention-to-detail of a kindergartener's stick figure drawing of his family, at least it's fun to look at and talk about. Plus, the one redeeming part of this episode was the very end. Now THAT is how you end an episode and make your audience happy. That one scene gives me a slight bit of hope that AZ will turn itself around. So what's going to happen now? My favorite theory is Cruhteo, Slaine, and the gang fighting against other Orbital Knights who were in on the assassination plot. My expectation is that that's too complicated for this staff to handle in terms of details and that Slaine joins up with the princess and they fight Orbital Knights like normal.

Sorry for the image quality, it was hard to capture the Asseylum's gun.

Also, she places stopping the war at a much higher priority than anything else, so I don't see why she'd hesitate to follow along a plan that might help achieve her goal. She planned to contact the Lords somehow. In episode 1 she wanted to go to the embassy but finds out that that's impossible and ends up getting dragged along with Inaho. She probably thought Inaho's plan was her best bet to get in contact. If they defeat the suit she could still use the communication device and of course it gave her the opportunity to reveal herself, although that backfired since Trilliam wanted to kill her in the first place. |

Or it could be that the princess getting in Terran side so she can contact the Terran Government, thus calling out the war and getting peace at the same time.
She can't go back to the Martian side for now because she must be aware that by killing her in the peace talk, it's the warmongering Martian who got their wishes. Not Terran who doesn't want to be invaded again. Showing herself to the knight is a no no, particularly since she can't make it WASN'T the Faction that doesn't want her dead. And judging by how bloodthirsty and dismissive the rest of Martian shown in earlier episodes, I think we can conclude that the majority of the invading Martian did want to invade Earth. The Earthling that was shown, at least, doesn't want to continue fighting. Yes, I recognize there must be some who wants to go to war, but most Earthling shown would pretty much stay in peace. I mean, getting bombarded from space, who wouldn't? |

Please, DON'T make me bring up the infamous cabbage incident again, please. They're not necesarily the same gun. The same make, possibly--it would make sense all the weapons are made from the same manufacturer on mars.

But I guess you could be right. Future episodes could clarify things here. Quote:
Trillram never tried to kill her in the scene where she appeared before him. Which is notable because he had a chance to.

I think, unless she knows or finds out the truth behind the assassination, she's still going to try to get in contact with her people. None of what's happening should surprise her. She should know what her people are like. Someone on another site joked that the reason that she seems that she knows how to fight and shoot a gun, and yet didn't know how to take the safety off said gun, was because Martian don't have safety catches or trigger discipline for their guns. But anyway, I think that she's still for her people and she feels responsible for what they've done. Yet, she took Trillram to task because he was going way beyond normal warfare procedure, even for her people. It's her job as heir to the throne, to keep her nobles and knights in line. They still look similar to me, just with different animation and detail quality.

Ep 3
Well, this ep was a pretty good one, but the series still isn't really strong enough to keep my interest and I have too many other things on my plate at the moment. Maybe I will steamroll the series after it is done later on, though. ^^ Dropped for now....

The implication is basically that the princess is either all-knowing, or she was OK with Earth getting massacred for a couple days so she could hang out with remnants of their species.
Seriously, the dude was just standing there at the end of the tunnel. There's no other conclusion to draw from this episode where the princess is concerned beyond: She genuinely didn't give a shit about their survival. That's a massive, glaring inconsistency.

Also Asseylum's gun seems a lot bigger than Slaine's. Either way, it's a weird thing to point out.

BTW, the gun probably isn't bigger with the Princess - the shot is closer to her, physically, than it was in this episode with Slaine (Thess, I'm wondering if she gets the gun from him, that's why I was curious) |

I don't think being cautious and using a double is necessarily the same as "It's okay I'll let these Earthlings suffer for a few days"
I'm starting to wonder how much actual power she has It's possible that the princess is the equivalent of the WW2 Japanese Emperor, who while commands a lot of respect, has limited power to oppose the military I think they all made a mark in their own right, except for Calm Craftman Inaho had that prodigy tactician going on Inko is the dojikko sniper, but is actually a pretty good shot Princess knows how to handle a rocket launcher and henshin! Traitor-chan wants revenge

To me Trillram is like the Joffrey of the show. A bully with powerful toys and ultimately not as intelligent as someone else in his position should be. And not to mention so arrogant that he can't compute the possibility that his dogs can bite back.

Trillram definitely seems like someone who got his position due to his lineage and sucking up to his master. He was also given a job that was more about his loyalty than ability, and given a mech that normally would have more than sufficed for his task.
