It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Aldnoah Zero is one of those shows that is stuck halfway up the ladder. It hasn't reached "great", but is out of reach of "bad".
While there are better alternatives to this show (Code Geass, and Neon Genesis Evangelion, for example), that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it. It has enjoyable fighting scenes, a pretty neat soundtrack, and interesting characters, and quite simply, is entertaining.
The disappointment lies in the direction of the show. It started off with a riveting premise (I actually thought it would be another Code Geass), but it fell short of expectations, which is why I think this show receives substantial amounts of hate. Just to clarify, the ending wasn't bad, it just wasn't satisfying.
So if you're bored, and can't find anything to watch, you might as well settle for this average show, just don't expect much. Enjoy it for what it is.

I highly recommend this series to anime fans, especially in the 13-14 age group. The show has both funny and serious moments, and the plot is clear and understandable. The artwork is outstanding down the the smallest detail. I watched the dub and it was worth the hours i spent completing the series.There is a mix of epic battles and emotional drama (not to deep for a 12 year old) I still listen to the opening (1 is best) from time to time. As far as recommendations go, This is an anime you will want to watch, especially for teens.

There is only one other review that seems to be conveying the same point I will make. While I don't deny this was a really great series with good action, animation, music, and decent character growth, the last 10 minutes or so completely negate anything good about the rest of the series. Warning: spoilers aheadAfter investing everything in basically the 2 main protagonists, and the thoughts of a decent, albeit "happy" ending, they are needlessly killed at the most inopportune time by the character you have been rooting to come up and do the right thing and basically his "captor" with absolutely no explanation as to why they had to be killed at literally the last minutes of the series. If you do watch this you will understand why I say this, but I implore that no-one else invest any time or feeling into this 12 episode series and come back to say that the whole series can be redeemed from its horrible ending. It cannot. I also cannot stress enough that for all its pros, the ending completely ruins the entire series, and I am extremely disappointed that I invested the time to watch the whole thing. Anyone else who's reviews says otherwise must be completely honest with themselves and re-examine their "glowing" reviews. If you do truly like it, all I have to say is shame on you.

I am writing this as another reviewer had the nerve to give it one star because he disliked the ending. I would honestly give this a 9 but I am giving a 10 to try and counteract the troll 1* vote.So you understand my taste in anime, here are my other 3 favorites: FMA, Code Geass, Attack on titan. I would put this up there with them. Watching recent animes is always a pleasure because the artwork is stunning (as with attack on titan).It has a likable main character who's genius and cold-humanity are a joy to watch. The other characters are pretty cool too and there are a lot of them. The abundance of interesting characters can be daunting in the first 3 episodes. To be fair I thought the protagonist was boring in the first 3 until the action began.Spoilers:the ending is a real shock. The other reviewers hatred I think is because he's empathising with Slaine. He is torn between races, Martian or Terran? His emotions are also split: His love of Asseylum and the sympathy he has for Asseylum's assassin. I do feel like they could have written Saazbaum's tragedy a bit better.All in all worth a watch. Especially if you like the other animes I mentioned at the beginning.
