Aldnoah Zero Thread
Why is the OST so damn good?
Why are the martians so incompetent?
Why is Slaine so moe?
>>111090647
Can you imagine Slain being a true terran and Inaho sided with Mars? Would the show improve or not?
>Why is the OST so damn good?
It sounds like a rehash of the SnK OST.

[ Wooooaahhh intensifies ]
it is rare to see renewed ED after 3rd EP
and its fucking awesome
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS0HIFMLg9A
The episode was too straight forward.
>>111090647
Shit taste.
Bad writing and teenager pandering.
You are a sick psycho.
>>111090751
A copy of a good thing is still a good thing.
>>111090737
Depends on how many facial contortions we get.
What's your favorite track from the OST so far? For me it's the insert song that played in ep3, when they disabled bowlcut's cameras
>>111090817
Oh boy here we go.
>>111090817
But every anime is shit that panders to teenagers with terrible writing.
>>111090860
this one? >>111090243
if so, I totally agree.
Inaho>Slaine
There, I said it.
>>111090886
Had some slight Last Exile vibes here. It's been far too long since I last watched a tactical show.
The more I see Inaho, the more I get convinced he isn't a human being.
>>111090751
Personally it reminds me more of Guilty Crown. But what does nitpicking matter, Sawanos OSTs all sound the same anyway.And I love his work everytime anew.
>>111090933
Exactly that one
>>111090976
>Sawanos OSTs all sound the same anyway.
Unicorn's OST is clearly superior to the others.
>>111090955
>A.Z
>tactical show
Stop baiting and reverse trolling.
>>111090937
Both are interesting in their own way.
>>111091069
Nishishishishishishishi
>>111090860
Bus track from episode 1. Nothing else really stands out so far.
>>111091094
Inaho has less personality than an egg
>>111090998
Perfect example.
>>111091055
Are we really this paranoid nowadays? Haven't been to /a/ much as of late, but damn.
>>111090860
ED2, track used to wipe terran scum.
>>111090751
>tfw I found out Sawano composed the OST for SnK because it sounded so similar to Unicorn
>>111091190
But it's interesting to follow him, even if just for the hilarity of his stoicness and/or becoming warmer towards Inko.
>That ED
>>111090933
Best one by far, can't fucking wait for the ost
>>111090955
You mean that scene from the first episode with the guys doing rank battle from the sides of the ships?
That's kinda what I thought too.
Rat da best Martian, other Martians are even traying
>>111091275
But still he's a terrible character
>>111091373
Rat isn't a martian though
>>111090647
Friendly reminder.
I'm still enjoying the show though.
>>111091338
Yep. That whole nonsense about fair warfare amongst nations governed by an extraterrestrial elite. Sure, it's still a stretch to compare Last Exile with Aldnoah.Zero, but getting those kind of vibes is a good thing.
>>111091497
>full pacifist mode
>shoots down guy without thought
>>111091608
You should try reading at least one entire sentence before answering, you know.
>>111090860
That one and I SAY FRRRRRRYYYYYYYEAAAAAAHHHH are tied for me.
>In the end, Inaho will suffer and show more emotions while Slaine will kill everyone like it's nothing.
>>111091608
>without thought
That's wrong and you know it.
>>111091275
>towards Inko
You mean Hime-sama.
>>111091646
did he have to kill him?
>>111091703
You're talking about the Knight? Yes. He's a traitor who only wants to create war and suffering. Killing him is actually a pacifist act. Not a non-violent one, sure, but still.
>>111091789
if he wants peace killing him isn't going to help is it? He could have at least tried to get some sort of confession, right? Use that as pressure. Or give him to the terrans or sth
>>111090841
The SNK OST was hus weakest effort
![[HorribleSubs] Aldnoah Zero - 04 [720p].mkv_snapshot_21.51_[2014.07.26_16.01.43].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/DopbUBH.jpg "[HorribleSubs] Aldnoah Zero - 04 [720p].mkv_snapshot_21.51_[2014.07.26_16.01.43].jpg")
I kind of like this guy.
>>111091954
KLK was. And I still loved the shit out of it.
>>111091923
>killing him isn't going to help is it?
It is. It wasn't the best solution, you gave some examples of better ones, but still, it helped. One less war-mongering scum top-brass always helps.
>>111091789
I don't think he shot him because the guy wanted the war.
Slaine shot him dead because he threatened to personally kill the princess himself.
It was merely an act to protect the princess, nothing to do with pacifism.
>>111091977
Why?
Because he slaps one shota with his popostick?
>>111091954
Nope, kill la kill is his weakest so far.
Unicorn > Crown > Titan > Exorcist >>>>> kill la kill
Aldnoah is closer to Crown
I fucking love Sawano but jesus man it's like he uses his SnK OST and just adds a twist to them.
Can't you change it up.
>>111091977
>Slaine a loyal warrior.
>Beats him to shit because he's a terran who has been serving the Princess for ages.
Nah fuck that faggot. Hope he gets back stabbed by one of his Mars knights.
>>111090751
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZCePLzF8zo
>mfw
>>111091977
He's totally going to do a 180, isn't he? I'll be disappointed if he doesn't.
>>111092001
Yeah, maybe you're right, I guess we'll see. I bet his "I want to get revenge" at the end of this episode is just a lie because he knows she's out there and wants to see her again, though.
I like the MC, and how he isn't over dramatic, and they don't pretend he is a genius. His plans are simple and effective, and he remains completely calm while executing them.
>>111092033
It's the loyalty. Everything for him is for the Princess and shit. I like the super loyal characters.
>>111092185
I think the same too. But I'd like to see some a little of emotions.
>>111092124
This song and scene are my favorite part of the series so far.
>>111091977
Yeah I like him too, but I'm not sure why
When is Slaine going to git gud?
>>111091378
I don't agree with your opinion. I find Inaho to be subtle with his emotions, and blunt with his opinions. Unlike with the trash tier whiny and near useless mecha MCs we have have been provided, Inaho has actual resolve and isn't a beta max. I feel that his character type helps progress the plot much better rather than some like Vulvarape MC who required another protagonist to move the plot for him while he whined and bitched for two seasons.
This MC is refreshing and naturally positive in comparison to the run of the mill edge Lords recent Mecha anime has given us.
On the side note, who will Inaho get, Princess or Childhood friend?
>>111092304
Most likely to become the Jerid of the series.
>>111092308
>who will Inaho get, Princess or Childhood friend?
It's not so much which one he will get because he could have both, it's who will get the Inaho.
Inaho is hilarious.
It is like someone took an absolutely devoid of life teenager and injected him Lelouch skills.
>>111092304
I bet he's going to kill some other people
>>111092371
Is this bait?
>>111092185
>and they don't pretend he is a genius.
>trained soldiers fail miserably
>no-effort MC saves the day
>>111091977
Me too for some reason. He seems more like a really strict dad than a scheming asshole like the other Martians.
>>111092334
Inaho is a girls name?
>>111092304
Slaine is going to become a Trojan horse.
Fucking up Martians from inside.
I bet you he will go into battle, kill all martians, go back to Count and repeat the process.
>>111092371
So it's like Lelouch?
What happened to that REMOVE MARTIAN youtube video? I can't find it anymore.
Dammit.
>>111090647
>Why is the OST so damn good?
They need to stop with the WOAHOAH WOAHOAAAAAH that's in every fucking episode
>>111092371
>>111092434
Don't compare this shit to Geass.
Geass had TACTICS with decent villians like Cornelia.
>>111092294
It's probably because he's not obviously corrupted unlike the other knights. The show depicts him as stern, but not unreasonable. The dynamic between him and Slaine over how to best pursue the princess' wishes is bound to be the main drama.
>>111092457
This one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EgbUznxnIg
I can see this happening between Slaine and Inaho.
>>111092506
Someone badly needs to replace Slaine by Rat. It doesn't make sense.
>>111091608
>>111091703
>without thought
You must be blind.
>did he have to kill him?
Yes and no. Yes because he took the gun and left himself with no other options, no because he could have not taken the gun. He wasn't thinking rationally at the time though, it was an emotional outburst.
>>111092492
Schneizel > Cornelia
>>111092427
That would actually be really cool. It would work too because Martians don't seem to actually work together that much and just chase after personal glory.
>>111092492
Geass was a different kind of show, more flamboyant than grounded. Of course the villains in Geass will be more interesting overall by nature of design. So far anyway.
>Slaine without fear
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atkaQrHWN1Q
>>111092651
Yeah, Schneizel was top tier and only lose because Lelouch went all out with his Geasshax.
>>111092652
That's probably what's going to happen, at least the Trojan Horse part.
>>111090751
>Guilty Crown
>SnK
>Kill la Kill
>Adnoah Zero
It's pretty much all the same shit. Sawano is the go to guy for music that all sounds to same at the base and can mask bad writing when the time comes for it.
>>111090755
Remember when people thought this guy would be all honorable and shit?
>>111092819
>bad writing
It amazes me that people still use this retarded buzzword.
>>111090751
Reminds me more of Kill la Kill, but at this point it's fucking shitty rehash. It doesn't fit and isn't exciting.
>>111092863
>he uses a sword and defeats enemies like true knite!
>very honor!
keked then, keking now
>>111091954
Not trying must make it better then
>>111092893
Sawano just got lazy.
Ao no Exorcist had its own style
So did Basara and Guilty Crown
SnK, KLK and A/Z are too much alike.
>>111092962
Is Sawano the Hans Zimmer of anime?
>>111093003
Hans Zimmer was good at some point?
>>111092124
So many good things came together in this scene, and it all syncs together with the music.
>>111090751
What a retarded
>>111092890
>bad writing
>buzzword
Criticizing a show is now a buzzword. Great.
>>111093043
As opposed to Sawano who's still good.
>>111092890
edgy m8
>>111092962
This. Unicorn and Ao no Exorcist are the best. The rest is repetitive garbage.
>>111093070
Not him but I don't see any criticism anywhere.
Saying 'bad writing' without even saying why is pretty much equivalent to using buzzwords.
>>111093070
Criticizing a show isn't a buzzword, it's that on it's own 'bad writing' is fucking worthless.
>>111092893
I think it does fit, and that it is exciting. Funny how opinions work.
>>111093104
Sawano now is okay but again: Lazy
Unicorn was great.
Guilty Crown, Ao no Exorcist, Basara were still very good.
Everything after that is just him clinging to one style.
>>111091978
>>111092050
KLK was actually his most distinct OST in years. SnK was just a rehash of Unicorn's
>>111093070
Just saying it has bad writing without stating why is not critizing, it's whining like a bitch
>>111091254
I hear ya. I'd probably defect to Mars if that played when shooting Terrane.
>>111090647
Based Hiroyuki
No mass organization between the knights
Devotion to the princess
>>111093152
>>111093150
>>111093170
I guess that's fair, but you could just say that and not use that shitty word. It only brings shitposting.
>>111092050
Exorcists OST shits on both Crown and Titan. Fuck off
Why didn't he just bring a ranged weapon to a gun fight?
>>111093169
Unicorn wasn't filled with stupid vocalist insert songs.
Are they really going to be able to wrap this up in 12 episodes? Doesn't seem like much time to tell the story of an interplanetary war. I mean we are already 1/3 of the way through.
>>111093162
I still think Blue Exorcist is his weakest work followed by Basara.
>>111093245
Isn't it split cour?
>>111092415
>no-effort MC saves the day
Both times the trained soldiers were the first line of defence. Inaho had time to formulate plans (obviously he's still quicker thinking on his feet than average), plus he had the initiative.
>>111092952
Not really
>>111092050
>>111091978
Also wrong. KLK has a lot more memorable and distinctive tracks than the GC and SnK OSTs. Aldnoah Zero looks like a retread of the GC OST only with even less memorable tracks and shittier vocals.
>>111093224
Because nothing can beat Martian technology. It's folded over 1000 times and can cut through any bullets.
>>111093273
It is
KLK is the single good Sawano OST since Unicorn. It has distinct themes and (some) songs have actual melodies. Titan's and Aldnoah's is generic progression and Unicorn rehashes.
>>111092050
>Crown > Titan > Exorcist
HOLY FUCK GET SOME TASTES. The Exorcist OST is Sawano's last truly good OST after Unicorn.
>>111093284
>memorable and distinctive = good
It is slightly different but also shit, so it doesnt matter.
>>111093043
Yes. Crimson Tide, The Last Samurai, etc.
>>111092371
He comes equipped with CQC skills and athletic ability to call it up though. He's a bit like Tatsuya but with an older sister instead. My favourite MC so far this season.
>>111093343

But Guilty Crown was also really strong.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG7b-W0ktps
And Unicorn is still his masterpiece

Blumenkranz? Attack on Titan? Meh.
>all these fedora tippers hating the ost because it sounds similar to sawano's previous works
Sasuga /a/
>>111093355
I didn't say it wasn't shit just different shit from the Unicorn retread which was the SnK OST and the (only one good track) Crown OST.
>>111092371
Except Lelouch had exactly two plans he continuously fell back on: pull some bullshit using the terrain or cheat with his Geass. Inaho uses what he learnt in a high school physics class to effectively counter the Martians.
I wanted to stay inactive in this thread but some fools really decided to call shit on the Exorcist OST. I won't stand for that.
Also I like how Inaho checks every single munition he has to come to the conclusion what his enemy is capable of and what not.

The only vocalist song I remember was "don't lose your way"
Jesus the shameless plot armor in this episode reached galactic proportions . It's fine if you want to roll that way, it's cool you dont want your characters killed, but for fucks sake, don't flaunt the enemy invincibility and killing power 2 minutes earlier, fuck. It feels really silly when the evil uber mech is slicing everything apart and killing trained soldiers in droves then is stopped in melee by a fucking kid in a training mech.

>>111091977
Yeah, same. He's racist but at least he isn't a traitorous bastard.
So i just finished watching EP 4 of this series. i have to say i'm impressed. I kept waiting for the MC to suddenly come into possession of some kind of super-power mecha that lets him effortlessly wipe the floor with the bad guys. I was waiting for useless teen angst and characters crying like little bitches every time someone dies. Instead i get a competent story with somewhat believable characters.
I might actually stay and watch the series till the end.
>>111093541
It's like you aren't even watching the show anymore. The trained soldiers were fucking unprepared, Inaho was. Inaho was keeping him at a distance until he figured out the limits of the Martian.
>in a training mech
He pushed it to the limit. The Martian noticed it was about to give way, even, except Inaho had his plan.
>>111093774
>doesn't care about the princess "dying wish" because he wants to fight

>>111093853
I honestly don't like her voice in the ED song. It just doesn't suit it. I wish he'd use more than 1 vocalist for all of his recent works but she probably gives great head so we'll be stuck with her for a while.
>>111091977
He seems like a cool dude. Might be a villain, yeah, but he seems like he's open to the option of cooperating with the Terrans.

Sorry, I only meant to reply to the guy who only remembered Until My Body Is Dry.
>>111093485
>Inaho uses what he learnt in a high school physics class to effectively counter the Martians.
He should be flunked, because i don't remember him asking himself why the Martian mecha was still visible even if it absorbed em waves.
>>111093953
ED is by mizuki
Sawano always has a few vocalist tracks.
The problem isn't its style. The problem is how the director is using the tracks.
Some do a good job. Some less.
KLK for example loved raping the shit out of the character songs.
>Ragyo shows up
>BLUMENKRANZ
>Nui shows up
>Her theme
>Monkey stands up
>His theme
>>111093769
This is so fucking good, almost as good as Mobile Suit.
>>111094000
Pardon my ignorance.
>>111093930
What are you smoking
Some of the tracks this episode made me wonder if they just attached some left over KLK tracks. Some of his music is so hard to differentiate between series since they all sound so fucking similar.
>>111093749
It's not necessarily the vocals themselves, it's the cringe-worthy English/German lyrics.
>>111094021
Yeah, Body Motion is one of the best SnK tracks if not the best.
>>111093541
But he didn't get wrecked by a kid in a training mech. He got wrecked by a cargo crate and the Wadatsumi.
You people can not stop bitching about how Inaho keeps showing up the armed forces, but he's really not. Along with the constant regurgitation of "bad writing" and generic "shit taste" remarks it's getting to the point of shitposting.

Frodo pls
>>111094034
Yeah man! Pingpong Circuit felt exactly like something from the SnK OST
>>111094019
To be fair, KlK was just that kind of show. Characters entered and exited the screen with flashy and daring fanfare and a blast of their theme. It was just how they did things, they had tonnes of style to cover the lack of substance.
Aldnoah has a lot more going on behind the curtain and the music often feels like it's fighting for control of the scene rather than supporting it.
>>111094063
> it's the cringe-worthy English/German lyrics.
To be fair, a lot of song lyrics make no sense anyway
>>111093998
>Why are stars visible if they absorb all the radiation that falls on them
Didn't you cover black body radiation in your physics class? Absorbs everything that falls on it, then re-emits its own radiation.
>>111093933
Welcome to /a/. Deal with the shipfaggotry or go back to /m/. Preferably the latter.
>>111094111
>hur durr Aldnoah light bullshit
Fuck off.
>>111094159
Atleast they are correct in terms of grammer.
>>111093541
The "trained soldiers" (which were probably conscripts like Yuki) spent half their battle shooting at a building and the rest was spent shooting at the kataphrakt at melee range.
The first soldier got killed fast, the second soldier panicked and tried to back away, the third ran out of ammo and had nothing more he could do.
Inaho engaged the kataphrakt at long range, had the opportunity to observe what was happening to the bullets and act accordingly. He also had Calm flank the kataphrakt from the beginning and also had Inko set a trap.
Even if the first group of soldiers could understand the heat effect and switch to AP rounds, they would still have gotten killed the same way. Inaho and the rest would also get killed if not for the distance and the long-range fire support of a ship and a billion cataphracts. Direct confrontation with the Martian always leads to defeat, Inaho understood that thanks to having survived and defeated one of the enemy. He's the only guy to have done both while the soldiers stll believe that shooting at the kataphrakts will be useful.

Don't worry, they've dropped the lyrics in favor of whoaaaaaaaaaa.
>>111094180
>Being this Terran
>Being this godless
>>111094098
Stop using that fucking term, you clearly have no idea what it means. The soldiers were taken by surprise and overwhelmed, THEN Inaho went in.
>>111094019
SnK and GC had very good track usage in my opinion. The only actualy problem I have with Sawano tracks is the vocals in full versions of songs. The parts used for anime are nice.
KLK is the worst offender with its nigger rap shit.
The song that played when Aldnoah highschoolers began their operation in episode 3 was amazing and added a lot to the scene.
>>111094122
Are you dumb? Of course specific tracks don't sound exactly the same. But there are many that do sound similar between the two.
>>111094218
The ED this week was in Japanese, right?
>>111094073
Except I haven't said he wrecked him anywhere, can you read?
I said he stopped him from cutting him up after doing some crazy dancing moves which apparently are impossible to do for a trained soldier, but not for a genius pilot Inaho, apparently.
>>111094231
>But there are many that do sound similar between the two.
Yeah man, BLUMENKRANZ sounds directly from something in the SnK OST
I wish IRC would go back to SAO already.
>>111094019
>KLK for example loved raping the shit out of the character songs
Yeah, that was seriously annoying. They eventually lost their effect because of that. Nui's theme was so chilling the first time you hear it. It was just perfect. But did they really have to play it every single time she was on screen? They should have just played it two or three times. Same with Blumenkranz.

>Except Lelouch had exactly two plans he continuously fell back on: pull some bullshit using the terrain or cheat with his Geass
That's not really accurate.
a) He did have several plans that involved the terrain, but they weren't all the same.
b) Likewise, he used Geass in different ways, some of which were more interesting than others and relied on additional factors too.
c) He was also capable of manipulating or fooling people without either of those moves.
It's also rather silly to call the titular power behind the show a "cheat" unless you're being cynical as hell to the point of irrationality.
>>111094211

>15 years of preparations
>>111094229
Yeah, Episode 3 had good placement. This week however i am not exactly happy about it because like >>111094133
said the WAWAAAWAAAW and FIRE where mostly there to create an impact rather than supporting the scene.
>>111094229
The rap part almost never showed up in the show
To sum it up, Is Sawano the Yuki Kajiura of anime?
>>111094228
>living in A.Zverse implies you get down syndrome if you are 19-years-old or not in the MC's buttbuddies group
No, it is just shit plot armor, because he is the cool MC and every other soldier has an ass instead of a head.
>>111094329
>15 years of preparations
Oh look everyone, another idiot who didn't pay attention to Marito's bar scene.
>>111094369
No, Sawano is the Kalafina of anime.
>>111094360
Reading comprehension.
>>111094315
>Sawano full version of the most important song
Not even once
Same shit happend with Attack on Titan and LOSE YOUR WAY.
>>111094267
Yep. The chorus is Engrish though.
here's something about the plot that irritates me though. The Martians going to war with Earth is in and of itself a useless gesture. It fact its stupid and infantile. There is no way they can win. Earth has superior numbers and resources. I doubt the Martians number even 1 billion. If the war continues then the Earth will be devastated and it won't be worth living on. Humans will use nukes eventually to try to take out the Landing Castles and the stations in orbit. It seems utterly ridiculous for them to even be fighting. Also its only been 15 years since Heaven's Fall and a total of 40 years since the discovery of the hypergate. Mars has only been colonized for 20 years maybe. And yet somehow they've developed a culture of snotty aristocrats and super technology? The anime is kinda stretching things.
remove martian REMOVE MARTIAN
genocide of vers best day of my life
>>111094327
Also they were times where Lelouch did TACTICS and it didn't work due to how weak his pawns were
>>111094229
My favorite track from ep 3 was when princess reveals her true form and goes "SAGARINASAI, BUREIMONO" Pure instrumental too.
>>111094383
Orange a best though
>>111092468
>They need to stop with the WOAHOAH WOAHOAAAAAH that's in every fucking episode
Seriously man.
It's like Sawano doesn't know any other way to pump up a scene than WOAHOAH WOAHOAH WOAHOAHHHH over and over again.
i find it funny that most of this today's post is btiching about Sawano work... also why x amount sound similar vocal wise is because "Aimee Blackschleger, Mika Kobayashi & Cyua" among others.
also i don't have a favorite anime album by him enjoy them all.
>tfw Iwasaki is getting bad and irrelevant
>>111094375
Yeah man, if you were one of those soldiers you would have instantly come up with a plan to defeat the enemy while retaining your complete composure against a guy that is impervious to your weapons.
>>111094329
I feel dumb for just now realizing that all those students ARE the their 15 years of preparations. They trained kids their entire lives to be their soldiers and now they're proving their worth.
>>111094444
Not Sawanos fault. He just creates the OST.
The director/audio director is responsible for the track placement.
>>111094229
>SnK and GC had very good track usage
>>111094460
Said noone, ever.
>>111094381
Oddly enough students with no preparation are better than soldier with 15 years of preparation.
>>111094410

>>111094460
Noragami was great but Mahouka is kind of meh. But i would also blame the direction there.
why is MC the only one who can come up with plans to defeat them
>>111093541
>>111092415
To be fair, inaho didn't even really stop him, he just distracted him whilst the real soldiers prepared their actual weopon
>>111094469
No, obviously I wouldn't, because I'm not the teenager MC and I'm not allowed to have a brain.
>>111094488
Well, it's curious how a few recent Sawano shows all get their OSTs used in similar ways, to the extent of being jarring
>>111094569
He's the only one Gary stu enough
>>111094546
Mahouka is good, the problem is that there aren't many parts where they can showcase off the soundtrack. The last two Monolith Code episodes really showed how good the OST is.
>>111094327
>a) He did have several plans that involved the terrain, but they weren't all the same.
Half of them involved collapsing the ground and the other half involved stupid shit like erupting volcanoes.
>b) Likewise, he used Geass in different ways, some of which were more interesting than others and relied on additional factors too.
Sure, he was creative. But half of the time his win condition was basically to get in view of the other guy. That stops being impressive after a while.
>c) He was also capable of manipulating or fooling people without either of those moves.
Yeah, I forgot about this. Watching Lelouch playing people was actually one of the things I found most enjoyable in Geass.
>It's also rather silly to call the titular power behind the show a "cheat" unless you're being cynical as hell to the point of irrationality.
It's not necessarily cheating except that in-universe the odds are stacked hugely in his favour in like 4 engagements out of every 5.
>>111094569
'cause he's the MC
>>111094460
>Iwasaki
>getting bad
He's probably the most consistently awesome composer in anime and unlike Sawano has some actual variety within his work. I would never say that the TTGL OST sounds similar to the Soul Eater one.
>>111094542
>Suzaku
>not in opposition to Lelouch and in favor of the bad guys for like 40 to 45 episodes
>>111094425
>I doubt the Martians number even 1 billion
They number less than a million.
>If the war continues then the Earth will be devastated and it won't be worth living on.
They can terraform it back.
>Humans will use nukes eventually to try to take out the Landing Castles and the stations in orbit.
If we can build anti-missile technology in real life, they probably have Aldnoah bullshit ready to intercept any nukes that get fired.
>And yet somehow they've developed a culture of snotty aristocrats and super technology?
They're literally just roleplaying as knights and they can afford it because their mechs are almost untouchable. It's like if you had an alien space pod fall out of the sky behind some guy from /k/'s house and it spat out a giant robot mech for him to pilot and he figured out how to make it walk around and shoot things. He could go on a reign of terror for awhile and be unstoppable, but eventually someone's going to start figuring things out and actual experts are going to create a way to defeat it.
None of the Martians are professional soldiers, they're just a bunch of forced labor and researchers who got weapons and decided to roleplay.
Besides, Earth is already immensely damaged from Heaven's Fall and Mars is already half-terraformed. They have plenty of room to grow.
