Dropping in the first episode, genius.

Well, not bad, not excellent, pretty decent, this may become interesting, or may not.


Clearly he hasn't heard of the 3-episode rule

Finally finish watching the first episode, not bad. The censoring is a bit too much imo. I read the first volume of this series since last year, I think I will catch up to the manga.

TG is tolerable, this was like, 80% of the screen gradiented. New source for my Censorporn, but other than not being able to see much of anything for a few clips there, I'm sort of liking this story a bit.

So I'll be watching this and writing my thoughts down as I go along:


Ok, well, I think I'll give this one more episode. If I don't like it, I'm dropping. I like that the characters are adults, and for the most part act like it. But the writing definitely seems amateur so far.

I have not read the Manga.

But come on ... introduce Adolf (from Germany!) and Eva together ?
Have a human improve program and fight vs a other race ?

That's kind of a odd way to start an anime!

I Hope my WWII impression will be proven wrong in the progression of this anime ....

Everyone whining about censoring - if it bothers you that much, you can start this episode for your 30 seconds of not censored next week, when it airs on BS11 and people can get raws from it.
The censoring is the least of my concerns...I can overlook it but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to mention how awful they are

I'm not gonna lie; the first minute of this creeped the fuck out of me. >.<

The censorship kind of made me wonder what the hell exactly happened when Akari killed that bear (I know Akari stabbed its eye, but that's it). Although I'm, not surprisingly, no fan of censorship, I'm hoping it doesn't bother me too much.

This was an okay first episode (Could've been better, but oh well).

So far so good, it's got me interested. More back story about the giant cockroaches and Bugs 1 and 2 will hopefully come in following episodes.
The only thing so far that I'm not liking are the censors but apart from that its very good.

And another thing is, if such a huge ammount of people drop this because it's censored, they've already lost a ton of buyers. Nobody's gonna buy this just to get rid of the censors. The only thing censoring like this does to a show, is increase the ammount of piracy when the BD is out.


Eh. I'm probably going to disagree with you on that bolded point. Adaptations are to promote the author's work. Sometimes censored material isn't normally what makes people drop a certain anime. Maybe it could be characters or simply the plot.

Take a look at Tokyo Ghoul. As I mentioned before, maybe censoring is just one of the factors to dropping an anime. Some people were completely turned off and either stopped caring about the series OR moved onto the manga.

People who enjoyed the manga a little more might to decide to buy a volume of Tokyo Ghoul. Or maybe people who were fans of the anime adaptation are willing to buy the anime because they enjoyed it or would like to support the SP and the author.

Of course, no one is going to buy just to not only remove the censors, but also support the industry.

Wow the first episode......... was mediocre. Kind of confusing since the 1st OVA came out first, sort of rushed the whole thing, and the worst part is the censors are present in here. I was having some high hopes of this, but then I guess I was wrong. Although Michelle sort of save this episode, she looks interesting enough.

Even though they are slamming information about the giant cockroach and the virus is spreading, it should give us more information about this, but I think they will explain it again in later episodes.

Though I like the synopsis of this, so I will stick around until the end. Overall, sort of a weak start, but I hope it gets better in later episodes. The first episode gives me a 6/10.

First episode a bit rushed, only the story of Akari was shown, well if the anime has same only 13 episodes there is not much to do about it, but hopefully not run and leave important details backward
I liked the animation and the soundtrack also seemed to be good, if continue with development of manga and censorship does not interfere, everything has to be among the best of the season ..

Oh boy, that censoring is as real as it can get
I wish we could've seen more backstory between Akari and his childhood friend and more of this AE virus.
Also, introducing a shit load of characters and a timeskip to two years when they launch -_- Hopefully the pacing won't be that bad and killing off any side characters without any proper development won't happen every single episode.

can't even blame funimation for censorship but honestly don't produce an explicit series just to have it censored

there are parts in the manga that will probably never air if the censoring is this bad over the first episode


... What? Funimation has literally nothing to do with the censorship, and you think they produced Terra Formars?

Not bad. Animation-wise it was kinda disappointing, but in overall nothing cringe-worthy apart from those censored scenes. Hope we get actual character development before they start killing everyone.

The cockroaches are soooooo ugly. Now imagine when we start getting fan art involving them and someone from the cast... "bonding"... (since there's a manga to this, chances are this already happened and... <get the chills>)

Also, HS comments section never fails to lift my mood:

"is terra formars the gayest anime of the year

yes

guy gets blowjob from bear then kills it because he's angry homo and then the enemies of the anime are cockroaches

you ask wtf cockroaches are gay now oh of course they are bc COCK roaches got what I meant

yeah gayest anime of the year bye ppl"

A decent amount of anime I've seen paint rich people in a horrible picture. Why would a rich person go to a place like this, in which they could get robbed or killed just to watch some guy fight a fucking bear. It's so weird and random.

Wow, that was bad. The animation is ugly, the character designs are bland, Akaris background story was as formulaic as it can be and the german characters are named Adolf and Eva? Really? Well, the censorship is not their fault, some of the backgrounds were decent and the soundtrack was listenable, but aside from that...
In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom.

Hm, I don't know how I feel about this. It wasn't necessarily bad but it deck butler wasn't as good as I was expecting. Best thing about it was the bear fight and Itou Shizuka voicing Michelle. I hope it gets better, so I'll give it a few more episodes.

Rushed. Censors don't really annoy me but with the amount of killing and gore this show is supposed to have, expect a ton of constant dark-censored scenes. Yikes. That said, this wasn't particularly a strong first episode. 1-cour too...it's like Tokyo Ghoul all over again :/ (at least Tokyo Ghoul had a strong start)

Aside from the massive censor, I did not mind this first episode. It was quick but didn't mind it. I do agree that the censoring is going to be a huge limiter both on straight adaptation and thus enjoyment but shall see. So far I'm in for continuing this. The cockroaches do look absurdly stupid I will admit..which is going to be another limiter.
