「月の娘と森の娘」 (Tsuki no Musume to Mori no Musume) "The Moon Girl and the Forest Girl"

More Sumika flashbacks, some storybook art, and a test of friendship makes for a strong halfway point in Yuri Kuma Arashi's bizarre love story.

ALDNOAH.ZERO – 17

By Guardian Enzo February 7, 2015

「謀略の夜明け -The Turning Wheel-」 (Borya ku no Yoake -The Turning Wheel-)
"Dawn of Intrigue -The Turning Wheel-"

Aldnoah.Zero continues to be the same combo platter of reward and frustration it's been (almost) all along, but the overall result is still pretty entertaining.
