*cue Dr. Frankenstein* "It's alive!!! It's ALIVE!!!!!"
So yeah, I'm also relieved that Inaho survived and being rather well (can't believe there's no brain damage whatsoever, but who cares, right?). Even though AZ is just a guilty-pleasure for me (Gundam Build Fighters Try, Fafner Exodus, and kinda-sorta G-Reco are my main-dish mecha-shows this season), Inaho and his tactics pretty much the only thing that draws my interest in this series. As much as I dislike Inaho's robotic nature for no better reason than cool factor, watching his battles is the only thing that motivates me to finish the first season when all else failed (the story, the characters, the Aldnoah hocus pocus, the ladies, even the CG battles on its own does not interest me much). So yay, hoping for the next engaging Inaho-battles this season. That's all I ask from this series.

Also remember that while Asseylum has cried quite a bit last season, she never got hurt enough to bleed until the last episode. It would make since that the Aldnoah drive recognizes blood since the blood is what has the activation factor in it. As for Inaho realizes, I not so sure until he actually says so. Remember how long it took him to figure out that Seylum was the princess until she actually came right out and said so? Despite how many clues she gave? Yeah, he's still kinda daft sometimes...

Frankly, I can't tell if I should laugh or cry after every events that occured within very few minutes. Slaine's characterization is in shambles: I see no damn reason for him to save Saazbaum at all, as there is no way for Slaine to make sure the former would never lay a hand on Asseylium. Likewise, Saazbaum not trying to have his way now that he is completely fine is a bit silly. Also... how the hell Vers empire failed to completely conquer Earth within 19 months? Inaho being alive is already pushing too much the asspull there, but the fact he must be the only character that can devise tactics against vers soldiers make me facepalm like no tomorrow. Frankly, the "mob of the week" was a frigging sitting duck, and despite how long it took Inaho to reach him with his rocket J- I mean grenade dash, he just did NOTHING. The only thought I had at the end of the episode was like: that's it? All this wait for this?

Inko: What are we supposed to do now? Inaho: Charge to enemy castle. Inko: Reason? Inaho: There are 2 princesses for me to captur-save, I mean. Inko: Seems legit. |

Asseylum cried? Really? I don't remember. Hey, he had a right to be confused and surprised. I mean he saw her seemingly die right in front of his eyes. Twice! And we don't know for sure that he didn't figure it out before cosnidering eh practically never changes his expression. Quote:
Slaine didn't really have much of a choice. He couldn't really trust the Terrans thanks to Inaho and once earth had been conquered the princess wouldn't really be able to do anything about it. So Saazbaum really had nothing to lose. In fact, it's a better deal since he now has Asseylum trapped under his wing so she won't be able to go blabbing. Presumably, Inaho was fighting on the front lines before during those 19 months. |

Jesus Christ
Blood of Hime that was on his face is source of Inaho's Aldnoah powers That's asspull of the year and it's only 10 days into.

And then there's Asseylum who is somehow still in a coma after a year and a half, despite the fact that it looked like she wasn't injured half as bad as Inaho, with only a shot though the back and what looked like a grazed head wound. Anyway, it actually is surprising that Asseylum has siblings (if indeed Lemuria is her sibling) since her father died right before her birth and she was his first child, thus first princess. Lemuria could be her half-sister from her mother, but that wouldn't give Lemuria Aldnoah powers since that half comes from the father's side. Also, supposedly, Asseylum's mother died not long after her birth. So, I'm expecting a bit of an explanation. Ugh...

My other gripes with the Aldnoah activation is the fact that the Aldnoah drive is supposed to be shut down if the one behind its activation lose consciousness or dies.
Yet, they could activate it despite Inaho is arguably not conscious. What gives?

Yes Inaho lives. He also now has a mechanical eye and now has aldnoah rights. Slaine also now has decided to join Sazzbaum and the princess is in some sort of stasis. I wonder if she actually needs it or she is just being restrained through it.
Asseylum having a half sister does explain why they were not worried about losing their ability to use the aldnoah power.

Finally saw the subs.
According to Sazzabum. North and South America has fallen. Eurasia and Asia are still being contested due to the surrender of the landing castles in that area. Given that Inaho and company were in Asia I suppose it makes sense due to the losses the Martians took there that they lost the momentum. I don't know how else the UEF would take those landing castles given how powerful they are. Sounds similar to the One Year War. Quote:

The thing about comas is that once you slip into them, there's no telling when you'll ever wake up. True and exactly. She got shot in the back and a substantial amount of time had passed so she must have bled quite a bit. Significant blood loss coupled with the shot to her head which would certainly count as brain trauma could definitely cause a coma. Maybe it's like someone said and he had multiple wives. It only shuts down when they are clinically dead. Falling asleep does not count. Presumably, touching the drive or being near it is enough. Wehn we saw the princess activate the Deucalion's ddrive, she was clearly touching it or near it, |

Also, I really can't get what Slaine and Saazbaum are up to at this point, however, I have to say, that something about Slaine's sudden turn to helping Saazbaum and what he said about "taking care of the thorn in their side" makes me think that there's more going on here with Slaine. Unless they have the worst writers in the world, I think Slaine has some reason for his sudden turn to helping Saazbaum and that he's got a plan of his own that we don't know about yet. Quote:
Asseylum cried when her grandfather made the announcement. She cried a whole bunch when she pleaded before Rayet. She's your normal princess with the heat of gold in terms of the waterworks.
