ALDNOAH.ZERO – 24 (END)

「いつか見た流星 -Inherit the Stars-」 (Itsuka mi ta Ryūsei -Inherit the Stars-)
“Shooting Star of Yesteryear -Inherit the Stars-“

Fair or not, anime are always graded on a curve. And it’s a tough week for Aldnoah.Zero.

「祈りの空 -The Unvanquished-」 (Inori no Sora -The Unvanquished- )
“Prayer of the Skies -The Unvanquished-“

Aldnoah.Zero is certainly true to itself, right to the end.

ALDNOAH.ZERO – 22

「邂逅と訣別 -Out of the Past-」 (Kaiko to Ketsubetsu -Out of the Past- )
“Chance Meeting and Separation -Out of the Past-“

Does it still count as being NTR’d when the guy deserves it this much?

ALDNOAH.ZERO – 21

「夢幻の彼方 -The Fortune’s Fool-」 (Mugen no Kanata -The Fortune’s Fool-)
“Beyond the Dream -The Fortune’s Fool-“

This is starting to smell quite strongly of a tragic ending, at least for the principal characters.

ALDNOAH.ZERO – 20

「名誉の対価 -The Light of Day-」 (Meiyo no Taika -The Light of Day-)

「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.

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.

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.

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.

「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?
