Tokyo Ghoul Root A – 08

「旧九」 (Kuzen)
“Kuzen”

Honestly, between the first and second halves of this season of Tokyo Ghoul √A, it’s almost hard to believe it’s the same series.

Guardian Enzo February 22, 2015 February 22, 2015 ALDNOAH.ZERO / First Impressions

ALDNOAH.ZERO – 19

「楽園の瑕 -Here to There-」 (Rakuen no Kizu -Here to There-)
“Stained Paradise -Here to There-“

The arrow is loosed, in more ways than one.

Tokyo Ghoul Root A – 07

「透過」 (Touka)
“Permeation”

And just like that, Tokyo Ghoul is all the way back. Raise your hand if you saw that coming.

ALDNOAH.ZERO – 18

「深い森を抜けて -The Rose and the Ring-」 (Fukai mori o nuke te -The Rose and the Ring-)
“Through the Deep Forest -The Rose and the Ring-“

Aldnoah.Zero is predictable, but it’s predictably unpredictable too.

Tokyo Ghoul Root A – 06

「千路」 (Chiji)
“Thousand Paths”

That was certainly a change-of-pace, in a good way.

Guardian Enzo February 7, 2015 February 7, 2015 ALDNOAH.ZERO / First Impressions

ALDNOAH.ZERO – 17

「謀略の夜明け -The Turning Wheel-」 (Borya ku no Yoake -The Turning Wheel-)
“Dawn of Intrigue -The Turning Wheel-“

Aldnoah.Zero continues to be the same combo platter of reward and frustration it’s been (almost) all along, but the overall result is still pretty entertaining.

Tokyo Ghoul Root A – 05

「裂目」 (Retsu)
“Fissures”

Wai! More effing named characters to keep track of!

Guardian Enzo January 31, 2015 January 31, 2015 ALDNOAH.ZERO / First Impressions

ALDNOAH.ZERO – 16

「熱砂の進撃 -Soldiers’ Pay-」 (Nessa no Shingeki -Soldiers’ Pay-)
“Advance into the Storm -Soldiers’ Pay-“

Here’s the thing about Aldnoah.Zero – it is what it is. Whether that’s good enough is up to you.

Tokyo Ghoul Root A – 04

「深層」 (Shinsou)
“Deep”

What a weird series Tokyo Ghoul √A is turning out to be.

Guardian Enzo January 25, 2015 January 25, 2015 ALDNOAH.ZERO / First Impressions

ALDNOAH.ZERO – 15

「旋転する罠 -Toll for the Brave-」 (Senten Suru Wana -Toll for the Brave-)
“Pivoting Trap -Toll for the Brave-“

Is it me, or has Aldnoah.Zero actually started to make sense?
