I would’ve watched this anime nearly a decade ago if it weren’t for all the negativity I saw around the series second half. This anime is the definition of underrated. I don’t get how people were dogpiling this. Welp, now I learned to not believe bandwagoners anymore

The second half of the series was pretty bad. That deserves all the hate imo.

I get you. I liked the first and the second half.

The plot got a little weaker in the second half and I didn't agree with the way they side stepped the princes when it came to romance . But not everything can be perfect I guess.

Everything other then that was fun.

This show and Iron Blooded Orphans are clear examples of people how toxic if their unexecutable expectations not fiiled.

Me with Sword Art Online. Re watched it. Almost 95% of it was enjoyable.

I felt the same after seeing the hate for season 2 I was surprised. But looking back the second season was definitely a little bit weaker than the first one and the second half was extremely rushed. I don't mind the ending I thought it made sense but you know how anime fans are when it comes to endings (or basically anything), they will hate anything to the ground that isn't what they wanted. Overall I enjoyed s2 as much as s1.

What? This anime is absolute garbage. The characterization was terrible and the series was filled with convoluted narrative nonsense. There are way better mech series out there.

@Ninjanime I thoroughly enjoyed it. What they set out to do with the story was satisfying from start to finish.

I always ignore hype. I don’t really understand why people like Franxx~

Has been a while since I watched Aldnoah Zero.

If I recall correctly, the world building is alright, my biggest issue is the protagonist, can be considered a Gary-Stu~

Mech designs are dull as compared to Gundam, Macross. Even isekai such as Muv-Luv or Knights&Magic have better mech designs than Aldnoah Zero.

Furthermore, Aldnoah Zero has been outclassed by other mecha war stories such as Gundam, etc.

I won’t recommend Aldnoah Zero nor Lelouch Of The Rebellion as entry into mecha genre. Both have similar issues. But Lelouch Of The Rebellion is more nonsensical, pilots magically coming back alive after their mechs blew up.

Well, other than some of the UC Gundam anime, mecha genre is kinda weak nowadays as compared to decades ago.

@NewestPersonHere Random question but can I watch UC Gundam without watching the original series? I know there’s some timeline that connects them all, but not sure how relevant it is to enjoying UC by itself. I gave the original a try a few years ago and it wasn’t doing it for me

@kuga86 For your information TPN never had a S2.
And even if it did, saying that is ass won't change the fact that the second season of this was bad as well.

@Reshiram_IX
Not recommended to watch other UC Gundam, without original. The original Gundam anime is very important to the whole timeline.

The original Gundam anime starts slow with all the characters adapting to the current war situation. Amuro is an anti-sue so he takes longer to develop into a warrior as compared to other characters such as Hayato or Sayla.

The timeline that connects all Gundam timeline is Correct Century in Turn A Gundam.

@Zhenro look past the romance and simping the princess wasn't the world to get ptsd, she was never romantically involved I watched it as 12 yo kid and I still liked accepted mc being by himself

@Reshiram_IX you are right, this is one of the greatest mecha of 2010s romance isn't all there is to life

Mal score represents mass appeal which is not that useful. I suggest ignoring scores.
