THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The fight was meh this episode and obviously obstructed by the black bars. It looks like they are ready to take on some cockroaches as the team is assembled in full now.

Anyways, they managed to land safely. Setting reminds me of the OVA a bit but with the cockroaches there of course.

Well of course, they are on Mars now and facing the same situation as in the OVA.

Lolyeah. I don't think there exists a worse way of censoring than this. It makes this anime feel like a bad comedy show.

And another episode of Terra Censors--or, excuse me, Terra Formars. Looks like they're fighting quite the intelligent enemy. And so much for "Target Locked."

This is ridiculous. Everyone from Earth is getting slaughtered by the Terra Formars as my screen is getting slaughtered from the black bars. I don't know what to think of this.

The story is moving well and other aspects of production continue to deliver.

Unfortunate that the censoring is so seriously damaging the enjoyability of the show...

After the excitement of the first two episodes, this was meh largely due to the messed up censoring.. blacked out bars/ traingles/circles and what not .. I mean, this show is largely going to ride on action .. right?.. then thats a bummer bcoz censoring of that level is going to take the sting out of it .. get it? :P

I mean the show is rated and all for 17+ and blah blah then why?... maybe bcoz of the time of airing in japan is early instead of late at night.. this could easily have been the best anime of the season for me but now :/

I mean, on the first episode it was three quarters of the screen, now it's dark circles.

I don't know who has less personality the cockroaches or are main characters, i mean half of there team was killed they should have some emotonal development but it feels like they skip that to show more gory dark scenes which are all still shots which they use to emphasize the gore but what's the point in emphasizing when you don't show the gore. The characters are bad, the story is getting boring, the animation is inconsistent the only good thing about this show so far has been some of the OST

I think people are more annoyed that it was aired on a channel that would censor this sort of stuff. It blows my mind when this happens, it ruins the selling point of the series. Who is going to bother with BD's if the airing was this obnoxious? I'm teetering on the edge of dropping. At least the censoring serves to push people even further towards the manga, which is the whole point in making anime anyway for the most part.

Then they should've pick a better time-slot. Watch Hunter x Hunter or this season's Parasyte. They pretty much were able to put gore in the anime. It just require a little more fantasy and a little less greed.
Right now it looks like some game, where part of it was scrapped and developers said: "You want it? Then buy DLC".

So, a woman peeing in her pants in suspended animation was an OK viewership for TV broadcasts, ripped hands, limbs, and the puddles of Ichigo's 58 liters of blood were also OK, but at least some of the scenes here did not require the Gantz BallsWaiting Room! (not to be confused with the scan group)

There's one good thing about this episode: it's the first episode that was properly adapted with good pacing.

Btw, each episode introduced a new way of censoring:
Episode 1: Black bars
Episode 2: White bars
Episode 3: Black circles
Episode 4 will probably be white circles.

I don't even think the censoring is anywhere near the worst thing about this. The plot is full on retarded.
Twenty years worth of effort produces this? Jesus Christ, these people can't be human. Humans are far more intelligent than these dipshits. Even the explanation of the enemy is unscientific nonsense, they could not exist. This isn't science-fiction, it's frigging science-fantasy.

It's safe to say I would've dropped it at this point even without the censoring
Bye bye worthless anime, you're actually worse than Tokyo Ghoul, didn't think I'd see the like again so soon.

Episode 5 might be black squares, and by the end of the series we're going to get censorship in all the geometrical forms...

I think the producers have sorely miscalculated with the way they have used censorship here. So many people are going to be turned off. The characters and writing are not exactly stellar and if you remove 'good' looking action scenes from the equation, you're left with very little.

Does anyone have an idea how the Japanese viewers are taking this?

Oh my goodness gracious the censors are absolutely ridiculous. i had no idea what was going on half the time... thank god i had already read the manga so i knew what happened but I could definitely see how confused non manga readers will be when watching this. I don't know how to feel about this anime tbh. Even though the manga is one of my favorites the rushed pacing and censoring is completely ruining the anime for me. Definitely extremely disappointing. For everyone who is dropping this series, I don't blame you. I'd highly recommend the manga though, it is 1000000X better than the anime so far.

I was told this was a 17+ action gore anime. I am extremely disappointed. I've seen more gore in romance animes. I have no idea in hell what was up with the censoring. The censoring is so annoying and lousy that it looks like they're using microsoft powerpoint to do the censoring. Like what the actual hell. They're barely showing the cockroaches encounters with the humans. The fight scenes are being kept to a minimum and I'm getting a hella lot of fillers. Shocking. This should be a PG-13 anime if they're going to keep this farce up.

I might drop this. The next episode needs to be dramatically better otherwise I'm waiting for the BD's. To be honest I'd prefer a completely remake of the whole anime series. I was so looking forward to this. What a massive disappointment.
