Okay, so I just watched episodes 1-5 of Aldnoah.Zero. So far I have to say that I'm fairly bored watching it. It started with a clumsy infodump of technobabble (or techno-fantasy-political-babble), and moved into a rather generic mech show with the super smart prodigy beating the bad guy (and some simple subterfuge (ep 5 spoiler: Is the emperor really so stupid that he would just believe that guy? He was just told by someone that there were factions in their midst, performing some unpleasant deeds and he just believes the other guy with no question. He seemed to be smarter than that...I mean, its obvious by how horrible the knights are that they hunger for war...)). I will say that the MC is kinda interesting in how placid he is, but the fact that he can figure all this stuff out and the trained military can't do shit is baffling.

Anyone got any counter opinions?
