Aldnoah Zero (SPA)

I’m gonna start off by saying that this is a cruel series. Not an Akame Ga Kill cruel, but a cruelty service to the views of this series. You have been warned! I am still kind of skeptical of the why things happening in the series and I don’t believe that the author did a good enough job of laying down a back story prior to getting into the middle of the series. That aside it was also a very short series with only 12 episodes, but that seems to be the new series length for most animes out there. There are rumors going about that there will be a second season coming soon (http://www.threeifbyspace.net/2014/11/aldnoah-zero-season-2-teaser-new-poster-raises-questions/).

Little bit of back story: So as the story goes, humanity makes it to the moon to find a hypergate. The hypergate leads to Mars and the people of Earth start to colonize Mars and in due time the Martian colonists break off and start a war against Earth using technology discovered on Mars during this conflict the newly formed Vers empire manages to destroy the hypergate and the moon causing a ring of debris to for around earth and from that the remainder of the Vers rebels formed orbital drop-ships of a colossal scale. The series starts after the princess of the Vers empire is killed in a terrorist strike on Earth to cause a war despite her mission for peace.

So If you end up watching this series and really enjoy it I suggest you stop at the 11th episode. As the title suggests there is a spoiler. Just don’t get attached to the main characters much like Attack on Titan people starting dying or are executed in the most anti-climatic way. To be honest I though this was a great series (especially because I’m a mecha addict) and then I get to the end and became so disappointed…. and surprised, but very disappointing in the way it was chosen to end the first arc.
