Still...I think Rebecca is being way too generous and merciful on her evaluation of AZ's ending.
Yeah, maybe a fitting one for the messy pacing overall, but still... |

Thank you, Rebecca, for validating why I gave up on this show after episode 8 (it would have been episode 4 but I wanted to be fair). And thank you Aniplex for overpricing these sets (I usually pony up the bucks if I like a series via this outfit) to the point where even a touch of senility wouldn't sway my creaky, dusty old wallet from releasing that shiny new chip-encrusted cc to the light of an A-Z redemption.

Any hard data on how well the series (both season) did in japan? The general response I usually see for it is between average to mediocre but I'm wondering if it did well in japan.

This is one of the few anime that I hate. The shows characters and plot are just so stupid. You are totally right that this series should have ended at episode 12, to me that would honestly be perfect. Inaho was just such a dumb character. Oh the cool silent type that can make ridiculous leaps of logic to save the day. spoiler[Him becoming basically a robot in season two is perfectly fitting, matching his robotic personality.]

This makes me glad I stopped after season one.

Didn't finish the 1st series. Had no feeling for any of the characters and generally lost interest.

Wow I don't agree with this review, Aldnoah Zero was actually pretty awesome from start to finish, the ending was perfectly fine to me so I don't know where this idea of it being "rushed" comes from. Also
>overall C >production values get high scores Why bother rating animation and music again? This is pretty much A material. I'd call it best of 2014, but Nobunaga The Fool exists so.... Yeah. |

Personally I didn't really care for the story of Season 2 but I did like Season 1. What kept me watching was the fact that I thought the Martian Kataphrakts were very cool (well I personally thought Saazbaum's mech was the lamest since it was just all the others before combined. It also made it seem stupid how ALL of the other ones had only one special ability while his had three) except for some glaringly obvious design/strategic flaws (I'm looking at you Femianne and Mazuurek). I personally feel that they should have left Orlane's Deucalion's anti-gravity ability for another mech they actually fought since it would actually would be much more versatile than most of the other abilities we see. I would have liked it better if all the characters that "died" in the Season 1 finale actually died since it felt like the writers were just trying to extend the story with Season 2.
Overall I thought Season 2 was a bit of a let down because Inaho was still overpowered and made the rest of the Earth soldiers seem like incompetent idiots and the Martians look like they were "one-trick ponies" (which to be fair they were). |

This show was decent at the start, starting crumbling after, and shattered into dust in the second half. A terrible waste of my time. That ending was one of the worst I've seen in recent memory. But the build up to it was already bad.

Because some people - actually, a lot of people - do care about those two categories in particular, and want to know specifically how good or bad they are. I'm not such a person but from time to time even I find music and animation grades useful.
I would like to believe that you're just kidding with that comment, I really would... |

Why? Nobunaga The Fool is the best anime of 2014 and it is the second best of the decade only after Aquarion Logos, it his every note it was supposed to, everything was consistent, it took a specific style (in this case theatrical) and executed it amazingly, it was actually serious, there was plenty of action, the production values were top notch, and nobody in the cast did anything bad. In fact the only reason I don't put it in my top ten is because the music was subpar (a historical-based Sci-fi series with thematic tones and you got JAM Project? I like them too, but they just weren't fitting and like everyone they can be hit and miss).
I'd love to meet people other than me that take those seriously, at least ones that don't go "plot and characters are everything". |

Your entitled to your opinion Duel but just because you think it's the best title of 2014 does not mean you can be condescending to others who think differently. Reviewers or normal users. It's a bad habit you show constantly where you look down on those who do not share your opinions of shows whether it's when you think a show is bad or good. People can in fact have differing opinions.
As for wanting to meet those fans who take the music and animation seriously you must have blinders on because plenty of people here, again reviewers and normal users, constantly mention the importance of both to them. Music in particular. There have been reviews where the music has been one of the selling points of the show and lifted it up a little bit in grading. Terror in Resonance comes to mind right off the bat. People are entitled to their opinions but your constant negative opinions all the time are real downers. |
