Aldnoah.Zero: Ame no Danshou - The Penultimate Truth Review

Overall Rating 5.3 out of 10 - Epilogue that makes bad ending of second season even worse

I do not recommend watching.

This OVA was released at rather inconvenient time. I already forgot how I disliked the ending of the second season but still remember that I liked the show overall. Thus, I jumped rather enthusiastically on this one only to be disappointed. 

This OVA has all I hated about this show and almost none of what I liked. Complex and well thought plot twists, spectacular and tactically though through battles, brightness and ingenuity of main characters are all thing of the past. Instead, there are just dialogues that try to sell authors' values to the audience. Suddenly this show tries to be philosophical and existentialist but fails to say anything significant.

Seeing Slane in prison is too hard and unpleasantly sad, yet that is what they do in this in OVA pretty much the entire duration of the show. When it's not prison, it's the girls who were never this show's strong point. 

Overall, only achievement of previous seasons of Aldnoah.Zero prevents me from just giving it 3 and move on.
