Dear anime/author. If you want us to feel for the characters, develop them first or give us these flashbacks early on. NOT after they die and we lose interest in them.

That's what the writer did. Your own fault for keep watching this half-assed adaptation.

Ok, at first I thought that it was the censors at fault, but now I see that the whole source material is kinda crap or maybe they just really compressed a ton of chapters. Don't know why this show is taking such a turn with all the sad flashbacks, like we will care about it.

1/5.


As other posters have probably already mentioned, this adaption isn't really doing the source material justice. Based on what you said after the bold part, it doesn't really sound like you have read it to know this.

As for your comment on the flashback. People "not caring" can also be attributed to the adaption not doing the source material justice. Almost any character that's worth a damn in the manga is developed enough for the readers to actually care when something happens to them, and that also includes Sheila.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

5/5

In a sense, be regretted for a character is a bit presumptuous for now.
Empathy grows with time and interaction, while being nice flashback I feel very involved.
The narrative is enhanced by the few or no complaints, the plot is interesting, even more because I have not seen the OVA that preceded the TV series.
Drawings and animations are decent, I have no complaints even for the rest.
I expect great things from the next episode.

Sheila's death and Marcos's sorrow killing spree didn't hit me this hard in the manga.

Is it bad I couldn't care less about Sheilla?

Majority of us feel that way too. You can't really expect viewers to care about a character that's been on for less than four episodes. Same with shows like Another and Akame ga Kill.

Yeah I completely agree, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I hope they try to develop characters before killing them in future..

Well, if they keep this up, they might just manage to kill off the entire cast by the end of the season.

Why is it the girls always die first?...

Got a roach problem? Get some spiders, I guess.

No idea that spiders are faster than roaches. Sheila kick bucket way too early though. Oh well, tough luck.

Fuck.......even Sheila?? I really thought that, along with the others, she will stay for quite some time :/ Her death scene was pretty well done, but I didn't feel anything cause yeah, she wasn't developed. Hmmm.....looks like I will have to read the Manga, then.
Sweet rage is sweet, and the OST was nice. So, that was the scene my friend told me, huh. I feel you, Marcos......I feel you.
Alright, kill them ugly shits with your cool powers!!
Time to eat first~

Sheirrra fell in love.. so cockroach dude blasted a hole in her chest. There's no place for romance in this show. Only blood and gore baby! Also her death's kinda meh because of how the things are being rushed and the way they tell the story sucks. What the hell are those two bastards talking in a bar for? That a flashback or what? Also the way they zoom the camera in their faces wtf?

RIP Sheila-chan.

I'm glad I'm watching the uncensored version of this series now. I saw the first two episodes in the initial censored version and it stressed me out.

Poor Sheila, but I couldn't care too much about her as she didn't get enough development. The finale minutes of this episode was done pretty well though.

Good epi - the women are dropping like flies it seems. It felt like it got a bit over-dramatic during Sheila's death/flashbacks with the music and all. Good to see them going into the MARS rankings now.

Sheila's death has been hinted in the OP because they didn't show her transformation but Marcos and Alex showed theirs.

Rest in Peace, Sheila... My feels just kept welling up and showing how good her character was before the launch made things sadder. Her lips looked so cute...

Those cockroaches and their power-stealing ways *-* Marcos was badass with his 9th ranked Huntsman Spider rampage.

At least Sheila got a more considerate death than the rest of them so far. She got to die in the captain's arms and all. No one could've expected the terraformars had palm beams.

Seems the terraformars have been the recipient of all the genetic experiments going on as well, with the only saving grace for the human side being that the "Bug Procedure" augments are outdated compared to the Mosaic Organ Operation. But who was the benefactor granting the terraformars access to the Bugs Procedure?

shouldn't have taken a break from watching this, watched the first 3 months ago, now I forgot a lot about where we're at.

Also these drugs cause their transformations and parts of their bodies become the animal, shouldn't they have immediately injected that girl that got the hole shot through her, and her body could've maybe regenerated the hole she lost with the new animal cells? idunno.

I guess you can tell from the get it's gonna be a show that likes to kill a lot of people off, so I guess the author didn't really care about saving her, and actually wanted her dead instead. But they did all seem crazy slow to activate their drugs considering the circumstances they were in. It's like the series needs and wants the deaths for the shock value and to set the tone it's going for, but it's like it sacrifices its character's integrity to do so. Characters who should know and perform better don't behave as they should, just so we can get more shocking quick deaths on screen. Maybe I'm rambling but I wish it was able to set the tone it's going for and feel more natural. I wonder how it differs to the manga, and if reading that I'd feel the same.
