I liked Akagi. He's not so much the best Mahjong player as he is the best gambler. He's skilled, but when he can't win through shill he cheats, and when he can't cheat he gets lucky. He's incredibly ballsy.

I started watching Aldnoah.Zero the other day too. It's pretty cool so far, though holy crap does life suck for poor Slaine.

SpoilerAm I missing something, or do Saazbaum's plans make no sense at all? How does assassinating the princess and starting a war get him the revenge he keeps talking about? "I hate the government because they started a war and got my girlfriend killed! Now I'm going to start another war and that will get me my revenge!" How...? What...?

PS: It's weird, but almost from the beginning I've been getting a Blue Gender sort of vibe from the show. No idea why, they're not really anything alike outside of giant robots, but that feeling just won't go away.

PPS: Is it just me or does Asseylum's 'civilian' disguise look like Leia from Tales of Xillia? It's kind of distracting.

Yea Aldnoah.Zero has become my favorite of the season, as well. Also really really really like the OP for it.

Hmm, looks like you're right. My usual source for music has not been updated in a while, where do you usually acquire these things?

According to a quick amazon search the OST and Heavenly Blue are available. $40 for the OST, and ... the pricing on the single ranges from $12 to $21.

Ouch. And it doesn't even say what songs are on there. I could see myself considering it if I was certain it had Heavenly Blue, aLIEz and Bre@th//less, though either way I'm going to wait a month and see if it gets a digital offering(that isn't a ******* music box version) that's cheaper or just generally price drops.

$51 for twenty songs?

Here's the tracklist for the OST according to Nipponsei, though I can't imagine at this point it would sway you towards purchasing it. Sounds like straight highway robbery. Spoiler

02. AZPV
03. A-0picturez
04. MKAlieZ
05. 20140910
06. AZ-Kat
07. Kanascene
08. AD2014-7.5/7.9-0A

10. The Call to Arms
11. Troyard
12. Kasei

For the lulz(I'm broke til Friday, so it doesn't accomplish anything), I found it on a Japanese site for 3100 yen(US$ 28.98). Better than $50, but still more than I want to spend at the moment.

Aldnoah.Zero

Wait, what?

WHAT?! What just happened here?!

Well, can't say I'm terribly surprised, but still... what the flying fu ck... Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

edit: SpoilerApparently this has been a foregone conclusion since the trailer. The tagline "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall" is a reference to Piso's Justice, explained briefly here.
