Slaine in the first half kind of comes off as this regular good guy on the enemy side, who tries to figure out the grand conspiracy independently from the protagonist and ends up teaming up with him.

That's what I thought until episode 12 happened. That left me with a "dafuq just happened?".

Aaaand then the second half rolled around and oh my god Slaine completely went off to the deep end.

The whole situation felt like those guys tried (and failed miserably) at making their own version of Kururugi Suzaku. His character crashed and burned (along with Tharsis lol) at the cringiest part possible. Granted, I never really liked Suzaku either, but he is a FAR more interesting character than Slaine ended up being.
