I'm just a few episodes away from catching up to all my 22 current animes. I will have a look at Aldnoah then. I will try really hard not to bore myself to death. *fingers crossed*

edit: Watched first ep. Now I know why it's so popular. It tries to be as unspecial and mainstream as possible. And succeeds.

edit2: Can you get more predictable and generic? Ep 2 and they're still doing nothing but pulling all the tropes they can find. Please someone tell me how this anime is better than others except for the production values.

You know, you made a post a week or so back about how people shouldn't just bash certain anime, since all have an audience. I think that would apply here as well

I personally find Aldnoah.Zero great and I don't usually like most of the mainstream anime. 

I apologize for the harsh tone and I had it coming. I tend to react overly negative or positive when confronted with something new.

I've watched 4 episodes now and I still don't see a single element in this anime that would make it better than other animes. It's like they took the most generic pieces of other scifi/mecha/war animes and added a bit polish to it.

Neither story nor characters seem compelling(read not special in any way) to me.  There has to be more to it seeing who wrote it. I am preparing to see some MC death.
