I dont know about you guys, but i know no anime/manga/light novel were the mc was permanently killed half way thru the series. To do so would be a guaranteed way to lose viewers or readers, which the writers dont want, because no viewers means no money.
What about

Slaine is japan's most popular character because they love their angst filled, flawed, conflicted, does stupid things, character type. he can't carry the show because he runs in direct contrast with literally every other character in the show. every named character has a defined function and they carry it out to the best of their ability. Slaine's function hasn't been defined and both he and his purpose have been so wishy washy that its makes for unpleasant viewing.

and if the princess is alive, you can be sure she'll want to be the one to put down Slaine. because from her point of view, regardless of their past, he helped slazzzbaumn take down Inaho. and slazzbaum wanted to kill her. how do you think she'll react when Slaine lets her know he killed Orange-kun? the good luck locket falling out of frame? symbolism.

Nah,Japan sometimes abandon characters that they feel betrayed them,even when they started out insanely popular.Slaine will get a backlash,how bad or lack of will depend on how the 2nd cour will go.

Not seeing a lot of backlash. I am seeing a lot of people celebrating some deaths.

Misunderstandings kill people. I called out Inaho's decision to make Slaine his enemy would come back to bite him in the ass.

Then let's agree to disagree. We'll see what happens.

I needed time to process that ending and calm down a little and I am having only little success.

Dioscuria continued showing how OP it was by having that abilities of the previous mechs but it was balanced it out with weakness and the fact that Inaho had experience against some of it's abilities. I actually got a chuckle out of Inko asking Inaho if she was a decoy. We also saw Slaine somehow activate the Thrasis and so far it seems to focus on speed.

Slaine interferes with Inaho's attempt to kill Sazzbaum which causes them all to crash into the chamber with the Aldnoah drive. This gives Sazzbaum the chance to kill Asseylum which makes Slaine indirectly responsible for her death. After that Slaine kills Sazzbaum which Sazzbaum more than happily accepted. Yuki was right and Inaho really did care deeply for the princess as we are treated to flashbacks of her from Inaho's perspective. Even the CPR scene was important to him. Slaine kills Inaho for going towards the princess's body and for pulling a gun on him. They recognize each other right before Inaho's death. Inaho seemed as if he was willing to accept death.

Guess all those predicitons about Yuki, Marito, or even Rayet dying were wrong. I am even see Rayet being a MC for season 2. I also doubt the princess's death since we were told her whereabouts are unknown rather than deceased. Now we'll see where Slaine moves on from here and his next course of actions. He will probably try to figure out why he can activate Aldnoah drives.

All in all a pretty cool season finale

Also a lot of people going back to see Slaine's torture scene, one even comment on how he want to play it on loop and with music and popcorn.

Slaine is popular not because he makes the right decision or people can relate to him
Slaine is popular because he is unlucky and he is the show constantly shits on him
it's schadenfreude/suffering moe

Slaine fans do NOT want Slaine to have a happy ending
They want Slaine to go down the most tragic and painful route possible
and he's on the right track

This episode will only increase his following
mission accomplished, I'd say

I am content.

Sazzbaum totally jobbed there though.

He also probably survived. I will laugh if that's the case.

Yeah, I reckon Inaho's still in there. Asseylum's about 50-50.

Me too LOL, I'm proper hyper right now. Aldnoah isn't perfect, but damn if it didn't shake me up. On top of Saazbaum's Dioscuria being an almagam of everything Inaho and co. have fought up to now, Saazbaum was emotionally charged, whereas Inaho kept calm under pressure, mirroring what Inaho said about the reasons behind war and how he didn't care for it, whereas Saazbaum found them worthy of justifying his hatred towards Terrans. This episode cemented that Saazbaum could never reconcile his hatred and envy for Earth and Terrans, despite the fact he knew it was something Asseylum's father cooked up just to rile them. It was that deep-seated. He knew the flaws of Martian society, but in the end, he couldn't escape it.

Hmm, yeah. A bit too much of a "controversy" ending for the first cour. We'll see whom survives to see the start of S2.

Inaho's not popular enough to be kept alive.

According to... you? Slaine fans want him to be rewarded. Please try to read his threads and the Japanese websites and you'll see complain about his suffering. They want Slaine happy, they tolerate his pain as long as there's pay off. His seiyuu is an example of it.

Inaho was right. Slaine was an enemy.

Man, Slaine really is the Suzaku of this series.

I guess Inaho could always come back just like Orange did in Code Geass, as a super cyborg.
