Interesting to hear it's a whole new epilogue episode. Aldnoah.Zero was among the best mecha anime in decades. It, Fafner Exodus, and Silver Will Argevollen are better than most modern Gundam entries, and were the last time I felt the mecha genre had solid representation in the world of anime.

I think the tv series was released a decade ago. Still, I already recall the criticism the two protagonists suffered a lot. Inaho was stoic as heck with overpowered tactics that led to memes about the only thing he was concerned was buying eggs on sale. Slaine was more human in contrast but the way he ended in the second cour felt like the writers hated him even more than how Tomino hated Kamille before the Zeta Trilogy's retcon

Always felt that Aldnoah.Zero was an under-appreciated series, and also that it could have benefited from a proper epilogue. Sounds like this one offers that, so hopefully CR (who still has the original series) will pick it up at some point.

i highly doubt it.
personally , the TV series should have used the manga ending!
especially concerning nao & slaine.
it was pretty clear to any gundam fan out there that in the anime the directors hated them with a passion though not enough to kill them off in the end! definitely remenscent to not only how kamile was treated in gundam zeta , but that same distain was also included to the MCs for both gundam zz as well as for gundam thunderbolt!

I have no idea where this idea of Tomino hating Kamille comes from, given that he gets a happy ending, at least in every animated version of his story. I guess lots of people still haven’t watched ZZ Gundam.
Back to this though, Aldnoah.Zero was nowhere near as good, or as bad, as people were saying it was at the time. I felt that the second half was really messy but not necessarily bad. It had really cool fights and the story was still intriguing in that back half, even if the first half was better, and it would've been more interesting if they actually had the nerves to stick with the ending to the first cour. I’m glad this does have an epilogue though, because I hated ending to this show. It seems like what they added in the epilogue might be enough to salvage the ending.
