It's not even that. I didn't hate Slaine throughout the anime and thought it would be nice if he got back to the princess' side but his actions in the last 2 episodes are ones I didn't like at all. It's like, he freed you and gave you the option of being on the Terran's side or theirs, no string attached. It felt like the choice was clear considering everything so far then he ends up doing actions that go against that (don't care if he's conflicted, we only saw so much evidence for that) with his latest one having the princess killed. It's like, you knew he was going after the princess yet you allowed him to live after Inaho was finishing him off then went into rage mode killing him after he killed the princess. WTF?

To top that off, despite Inaho being a prick in that last part, it was clear that he was important to the princess based on her being happy that he is safe. If he cared for her, he should've shot him in his arm or something to prevent him from firing the gun but he went for the head (or so it seems). Seeing as his death was onscreen, the chances of Inaho surviving that (could always say it hit the side of his head and knocked him unconscious heavily bruising him or something I guess to keep him alive) is very low, essentially zero depending on the explanation. Really, they never even mentioned he died in the end, just that there were many casualties in the war so being optimistic, that could mean he survived and he's in some coma or something. meh, one can dream

That activation of Cruhteo's drive seemed like bs to me. I mean, there was nothing in the anime that indicated he could and even he was hoping he'll be able to but didn't think he could. Unless there was some secret kept from him about his own abilities to activate it, felt like it came from thin air to me aka plot convenience. I too would like to know what his dad discovered as well though we know part of his past with the princess. I'm still pissed that Inaho who was looking nigh impossible to kill with all his smart actions against superior mech units would die like that. It just feels out of place and he was my favourite character

Shit, that episode suddenly bumped the from decent to good. I can understand the decision of Slaine killing Inaho. Inaho pretty much called him his enemy before. And I mean, what would you do if someone is turning with a gun on you? Calmly shooting his arm? I guess not. But I can't understand him serving Cruhteo calling him "Milord". The fuck? I like how they had the balls to kill both, the princess and Inaho. I hope they don't get "revived". Also, Yuki seemed to be right about Inahos feelings.

You meant Saazbaum right?
If so then that part is pretty hard to understand. Could be that the Count's talk before that about Slaine's dad saving his life before and he "saved" Slaine's life and then let him freely choose his side has made him confused. Or Slaine has identified Inaho as his sole enemy and thought that by saving Saazbaum he could convince him to not kill the Princess somehow.

I ... I .. I ... I .. I hope slaine burns in hell.

at least we get a romantic(in a sense) end for Hime-sama and Inaho. Both of their lives ended with each other being in the same place.

FUCK THIS SHIT.

Yeah I was just over-reacting at Slaine's action. He is not the worst char out there by any stretch but his decision in this ep is clearly the worst one. He is willing to die to for Princess and keep fact about her being alive secret, but his emotion got swayed after some guy who is after the Princess "rescue" him. On hindsight, Slaine did not realize Cruhteo's change of heart and still thought of him as another bad guy may be?

I don't blame Slaine for killing Inaho actually. Inaho has been a dick to Slaine all along. I, in Slaine position, would probably think of myself as someone who is capable of protecting the Princess and rather get rid of that dick Inaho. Either way, the way Inaho died is just dumb, but at least it stayed uniform to his crazy yolo character. But him surviving that would be even dumber, I mean is he a god or something. They gotta pull something out of their ass to save his life though.

The Aldnoah part is really bs yeah. I tried finding some info in previous episodes but there aren't any. I hope they have some proper explanation to make and not just something from thin air again T_T

ya, I know. It's just really irritating to me that he's never done much aside from crying her name out etc... while Inaho has been a boss throughout the whole show. Came up with the plan against the first kataphrakts, beat the second one near the ship all by himself then helped again for that third one with the arms. He also ended up defeating that last one though Slaine stopped him. Basically, he's been smart, calculated and despite looking like he's emotionally dead, has been a much more enjoyable character imo than Slaine was after he was taken in by Sazzabaum. I don't buy this whole emotional conflict that Slaine has.

yes, I realize him killing Inaho isn't something to blame. I'm sure anyone who has a gun turned on them would shot as fast and would be less likely to choose where to hit. Who knows? They never did say he died. The princess was shot in the heart and head I believe and they said her whereabouts are unknown indicating that she's gone. On the other hand, they said there were casualties and Inaho could've easily been mentioned in there like they did for the princess but nope so I'm choosing the route that he's still alive somehow but in critical condition after all. Maybe there's a lull in fighting as the Martians decide on their next action and he's recovering in a coma or something, quite possible but who knows.

yes, it was bs lol. Never any indication he can pilot it, plot convenience really.

Here's the Wiki page for AZ's tagline,

This fragment is the most relevant:

aye, totally agree. Basically the ending has many flaws and potential flaws in the future that make it feels weak. And giving a season gap break before the show resume in Jan2015, I hope I don't completely forget about this show by then

is it about someone is not 100% dead until he is confirmed 100% dead? i.e: missing/doesn't have corpse mean still alive and hiding somewhere
or is it about Slaine action that he just happened to kill every one due to his anger?

Slaine didn't exactly do nothing. He helped them out when the four armed mech attacked them, and then Inaho shot his plane down for it. Then he got tortured pretty hard core cause he was trying to protect the princess. Also, he's had less time than Inaho, so he hasn't had as much time to do stuff.

Most importantly Inaho better stay dead, for the sake of show's integrity. I expect him to return somehow, but I really hope he doesn't.
