Its still not the choice of the animation studio to censor it like this. If you want to blame somebody, go rant about the tv station. ITIS a choice of studio to omit crucial parts of storyline though and rush it. |

| ughhh i didn't really care for censoring in tokyo ghoul but in terraformars it literally is unwatchable they just cover half the god damn screen >.< |
| There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!~Zoro |
| I already read the manga so whatever with the censoring :) The Mega N!gga's have arrived XD JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ JOHJ These are the gruesome deaths with organs and sh!t, maybe they'll turn it down later with the non gory deaths. |

| I will do the same as with Tokyo Ghoul and just wait for the Bluray for this... |
 |
| I'm surprised people complain mainly about censoring instead of it being pretty badly written. Transitions are bad, characters are bland and it would be hard to have death flag trope be more in your face. True, censoring is really badly done but it's not like showing that gore would make that show good. By the way, shouldn't they carry these drugs with them all the time? E. g. have syringe with it incorporated into these stupid looking suits. Kind of a dumb idea to go fight aliens with your only weapon stored away. Not even safely at that. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| wow what's whit the sencor, that's so annoying |
 |
| The censorship omg! wth?? I was thinking about dropping this & wait for the uncensored version..... |

CookingPriest said: What's more, the show also rushed through(read: skipped) a huge part of character development for characters, so even if the violence was present, there's no reason to feel ANYTHING for these characters getting murdered. We literally saw in this episode that they took a thing they didn't show in the first episode (Komachi talking to Sheila whilst she's crying) and presented it as a flashback. In fact, pretty much all they skipped was backstory or can easily be made into a flashback when it's relevant. Showing it in a different order is just adapting the story for TV. Animes don't need to follow mangas to the letter like everyone seems to think they do for some stupid reason - they can change when backstory happens to fit with the new form of media. Just because they didn't show it yet doesn't mean they won't show it at all. |

bloodyfox said: MEsoJD said: Really, what do you want them to do about the censorship? It's obviously gory like Tokyo Ghoul and I'm pretty sure a lot of those scenes aren't tv friendly. Don't hate on the show, just for that. What the fuck are you all talking about? Horriblesubs rips all their shows from Crunchyroll and other sites like that. Crunchyroll could have an age restricted version without censorship, but either they don't give a fuck about their clients or the studio that produced Terra Formars wants to boost the BD sales. A service like Crunchyroll would need to come up with a deal/more money for them to show an uncensored version before bluray release. A lot of their shows are just the network versions. |

| Feels like someone wants all Seinen Series to flop and not surpass OP. Kingdom, TG, TF are being censored to death, though Kingdom got by far the worst treatment with that awful CGI effects in Season I. |
| I didn't really mind the censorship cause I read the manga beforehand but I love how they adapted these scenes! They're almost exactly like the manga, the animation is pretty solid. I might wanna buy the BD's just for the uncensored version. This anime has such good production values, I really hope they don't rush the crap out of it like they did with things like Tokyo Ghoul. |
| I really enjoyed it, I don't even care so much about the censoring, although without them, it would've been way better. I like the OP and ED, though. :P |

"Yes let's add character development at the end AFTER everything that that characterdevelopment was supposed to make us feel for" BRILLIANT IDEA.... I didn't say the end, oh my god. There's literally episodes of footage before anything impacts a lot of these characters, and plenty of space for flashbacks. In fact, sometimes placing flashbacks during/straight before a traumatic event has a bigger impact, such as the flashback in the first OVA of . All the trauma at once has a really big impact. There's also flashbacks right at the point when that they can just add more flashbacks into to give a bigger blow. It's not like we don't Obviously they're not going to show it all at the end, you're just being ridiculous because you don't want to give the show a chance because they're not just animating the manga word for word. Animes adding their own twist on the story and sometimes adding new scenes is part of the excitement. That's why it's an adaptation, not just "manga in colour and moving ON TV!". They change books for movies in the west and it's often for the better - it's a different media. Saying a show is shit just 2 episodes into a 13 episode run because they moved a flashback is like reading the first chapter of a book, seeing something not explained immediately, and closing it in frustration. |
| The censorship is indeed bugging me, because I'd like to feel the fullest fear in these scenes but the half black screen just distracts me. But oh well, will keep watching, aside that I'm enjoying the setting and the characters so far. Nice OP btw. |
 |
| I blame the girl who wished that they never made it to Mars. She stuck a death flag on half the people on the ship. |
 |
| I'm not going to bother commenting on the censorship, because a lot of people have done that already. :P I'm pretty sure everyone is thinking this question, but I'm wondering how the cockroaches managed to get on the ship? Hopefully, there'll be at least a decent explanation. I will admit that this episode was better than the last, but this episode...well, it was good. Not great; just good. I, too, blame Eva for wishing they never made it to Mars. Now I have a feeling at least half the crew will be dead. The only other thing I got confused was how some people (Including that big-boobed chick) knew Sheila liked the Captain. At least she said, "How did you know that?" |
| Hmm interesting. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| So I'm guessing the roaches can survive in space and they used the ships that past crews arrived in to get there. That's all I can think of for how they got on the ship lol. |

| censorship was annoying but i can tolerate it, things are getting interesting |
| Another failure like Tokyo Ghoul, 'cause of this censorship.. too bad |
_Kudo_ said: Another failure like Tokyo Ghoul, 'cause of this censorship.. too bad What makes you think think Tokyo Ghoul was a failure? The BD/DVD are selling pretty well for an adaption that was rushed and it helped the manga sell more than 500k each volume. |
| I'm just gonna drop it cuz of the horrible composition. How sad. |
CookingPriest said: Can you imagine watching the first Alien movie if everytime something SCARY happened, the screen would turn to kittens? Your analogy with Alien, failed since there was not a lot of gore, and death shown in the oringal Alien movie. It was based more in the idea of isolation, and the horrors of technology and birth trauma than this show. If you used Starship Troopers as instead it would of been better since they fit each others motifs pretty nicely. We shall see if it gets as smart as Starship though later on. So far I think not. Finished up watching episode two. While the censoring was not as bad as it was put out to be, it was still done extremely lazy by the studio. They could of done it smartly, by cutting away to another view or to a character reaction, or use the idea of camera feeds cutting off one by one as something like that happened. Instead, blocks to censor. While the studios say how much needs to be censored, and uncensored blu-rays will always drive demand, they could of done it better. I would like to see more char development, and stop with the lazy romantic relationship thing. Animation is okay, and there has not been much action as touted so I do not want to base it on this. Still the potential this show has is dwindling fast so far. Probably stick with this, since once the bu-rays come out I would of forgotten about it by then. |

| I am starting my own blog now; but you will probably not like it. https://goodbadotaku.wordpress.com/ |
| Ohh this turned out to be quite interesting. Although it's kinda predictable. => Eva: I wish we'd never arrive at Mars. My thought: Be careful what you wish for. Next scene: Cockroach appears on the ship. Me: I knew it. Obviously the censoring is really advanced. Last seasons it at least encouraged your imagination(in Tokyo Ghoul you did see half of the screen most times) but in Terra Formars it's just leaving you with nothing to even think about imagining what could have happened in that moment. |
| STOP CENSORING STUFF PLS. YOURE TAKING AWAY THE TERROR OF THE SHOW! |
 |
| Welp... That was pretty bad. The plot is pretty boring so far and with all that censorship it's pretty much pointless to watch. I read a few comments where some people were complaining about people complaining about the censorship. I think if one would be actually interested in watching this, the only redeeming factor of it would be the violence and gore. But since none of that is visible all you're stuck with is a really bland plot. I'm assuming the manga is better? |
| I tried. And I gave up. I'm just going to avoid anime that have gore as their selling point from now on. |
| Personally, I have been pretty disappointed by the anime adaptation of Terra Formars so far, which is quite strange since the manga is one of my favorites. I think the biggest problems, however, stems mainly from the fact of how incredibly rushed the series feels. The manga has around 9 to 10 volumes right now, and it just isn't possible to fit it all into 13 episodes. This series could've easily have been a full 25 episode series, and it would've benefited much from it, especially with the BUGS 2 arc that would've been much better as part of the main series instead of as an OVA. Alot of the complaints about no character development is reasonable, considering how rushed the anime is compared to the manga. In my opinion, the anime would've been 100000X better if they had followed the format of the manga more instead of rushing it and attempting to cram it into 13 episodes. Terra Formars is an excellent series, and it deserves a complete, full series. I am definitely disappointed to see its adaptation being rushed so much. All in all, this anime adaption does not do the manga justice, and I encourage those who were disappointed with the anime as I was to give the manga a try, since alot of the issues with pacing and character development are addressed in a much better manner in the manga than it is in the anime. My complaints about the anime aside, the OP and ED were pretty good. |
| La familia es todo. |
| The censoring is way too obvious D: |
 |
| Terra formars look like monkey ( their faces : 0 ) OMG they went after their medicine. Do they have intelligence or someone is controlling them? Poor girl in the shower ( Crushed ) Dat guys arm and then smashed. Poor guy with the machine gun getting his head ripped off with his spinal cord too. Then he was used as a sword? Sliced the other peoples heads off? Eva NOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
| This is what I wanting, more blood and gore, but too much censoring, just way too much. The opening to this anime is amazing though. Cant wait for next episode!! |
 |
| That is the worst way to handle censoring. |
 |
| Sheila x Ivan OTP Captain x Shaila OTP, anyone? |

| I dont think the anime should be rated by the censorship. It#s not actually part of the content, you know. It's just something they slap on extra. Just wait for the uncensored bluray then, geez. I dont find anything pleasuring in seeing ripped off body parts so i am totally fine with as it is. Definitely watching next episode. |

Though it's the worst censoring I have seen, I agree. That action part wasn't the main part of the episode so I don't know why people are crying about it. |
