description Aldnoah.Zero Overview
The discovery of a hypergate on the Moon once allowed the human race to teleport to Mars. Those who chose to settle there unearthed a technology far more advanced than that of their home planet, which they named "Aldnoah." This discovery led to the founding of the Vers Empire of Mars and a declaration of war against the "Terrans," those who stayed behind on Earth. However, a battle on the moon—later called "Heaven's Fall"—caused the hypergate to explode, destroying the moon and leading the two planets to establish an uneasy ceasefire. Their peace was a fragile one, however.
help Aldnoah.Zero FAQ
Did Gen Urobuchi write Aldnoah.Zero?
Only partially. Urobuchi is credited with the original story concept (under the Olympus Knights label), but series composition and the bulk of the scripts were handled by Katsuhiko Takayama. Urobuchi's day-to-day involvement was limited compared to works like Madoka Magica or Fate/Zero.
Who directed and animated Aldnoah.Zero?
Ei Aoki, previously the director of Fate/Zero, helmed the series. It was a joint production between A-1 Pictures and TROYCA, with a widely praised soundtrack by Hiroyuki Sawano.
Why did the Vers Empire declare war on Earth in Aldnoah.Zero?
A hypergate discovered on the Moon let humans teleport to Mars, where settlers found the advanced Aldnoah technology and founded the Vers Empire. Tensions exploded into war after an assassination attempt on Princess Asseylum Vers Allusia during her goodwill visit to Earth, building on the earlier 'Heavens Fall' catastrophe.
How many seasons of Aldnoah.Zero are there?
Two cours totaling 24 episodes: the first aired in July 2014 and the second in January 2015. The story ends with that second season, with no continuation produced since.
