Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The original 2014 anime was written by Gen Urobuchi for the first cour only, which explains the dramatic tone shift in season 2. This compilation finally unifies the vision with new material.

Cultural

Aldnoah.Zero became a case study in 'wasted potential' discourse, with its divided fanbase literally splitting over which male lead deserved the princess. The Re+ release is A-1 Pictures' attempt at historical revisionism.
