Aldnoah.Zero 2
MUCH better than the first episode - the way it captured the hopeless atmosphere was amazing. My only complaint is that CGI does NOT mix well with 2D animation at all.
So, the Princess is alive but instead of going up to a Martian mech and being all like "Yo, I'm like alive, so stop this ****, teehee" she's just letting a massacre happen until she can reach official channels?
I'm calling it now - the Princess knew all along that Saazbaum was going to orchestrate an assassination and use it as a means to start a war with Earth. Knowing that a war was inevitable, she faked her death so that she could expose Saazbaum. I really hope it turns out that Cruhteo is the real mastermind though, as Saazbaum just seems too obvious.
Also, all the school friends will be dead before the series ends. I knew the one who died in this episode was going to die the moment I saw the trailer, so I'm going with my other hunch - all of them or at least most of them, will be dead by the end.
In fact, I hope everything I've just predicted is wrong.
