    Aldnoah.Zero

    http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/7/60263l.jpg

    Plot:
    In 1972, an ancient alien hypergate was discovered on the surface of the moon. Using this technology, humanity began migrating to Mars and settling there. After settlers discovered additional advanced technology, the Vers Empire was founded which claimed Mars and its secrets for themselves. Later the Vers Empire declared war on Earth and in 1999 a battle on the Moon's surface caused the hypergate to explode shattering the Moon and scattering remnants into a debris belt around the planet. Cut off from Mars, the remnants of the Vers Empire established several massive orbital space stations within the debris belt and a ceasefire was established. 15 years later, in 2014, an attack on the Vers princess during a peace mission causes the Empire to launch a new attack on Earth, this time determined to conquer it once and for all



    Making thread since none of you lazy fucks did!

    This was probably my 2nd favorite new anime of the season. Original story, first episode started off a bit slow but things got going by the end. Will definitely be following this one.

    Seemed like nice quality, but a slow starting ep.

    Reserving my judgments after a few more episodes, still not convinced it won't turn out in another very generic thing of the genre.

    Music was superb. Dat animation for the impact, along with the music. I'll watch this for the music alone even if the story somehow turns out to be not amazing.

    Second episode had a bit more action in it. Series got listed as 24 episodes instead of 13 now, so I can see why they are going a bit slow. I do like the Mars robot units.

    This reminds me so much of Zone of the Enders, and I love me some Zone of the Enders.

    Probably my biggest complaint about the show so far. Shitty MC.

    It's definitely annoying, but from the very beginning it seemed to indicate there's something really wrong with him and his reaction in ep.2 seems to confirm that. Other than that, they're obviously going the calm (as fuck), analytical type route.

    Better than the type of main characters like the one in Accel World.

    I knew MC would be amazing from the get go. Once he nonchalantly said "There are missiles coming." and everyone looked at him with confused faces I was sold.

    God damn that was good. Main character is actually shaping up pretty good. Not just an emotionless dude.

    All I could think at the end there was "Welcome to Earth." It was awesome either way.
