Everyone seems to have forgotten how bad S1 was EDIT: not saying this episode was good, it was trash Compared to this first episode, season 1 was a fucking masterpiece even tho it was far from it and full of problems. That only shows how bad this atrocity of episode was. Worst April fools joke ever. I don't even... |
| Someone saw the first season and said "This needs more bad humour. BAD humour." |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
BlightBoy17 said: the problem is this. The animtion, the opening, hell everything they changed doesnt fit with the tone of the manga. its supposed to be dark, gritty, hopeless, full of despair with blood and gore everywhere. thats just how it is. This....this isnt that.I didn't have any problem with the second season. The opening and ending are suiting the anime, not the best opening yet not bad. I am not used to the art and the animation is not as good as before, but i have no problem with that, i don't demand much for something most of us here watch for free. I also like how the show becomes a little brighter with some humor, i just doubt it will stay this way the whole season and to be honest i had enough of the season one gore, so i have no problem at all to see the current group survive the upcoming death. I gave the episode 5/5 because i enjoyed it and i think its unfair how people rate the anime bad just because of the used budget. |
 As of now, please try to refrain from looking at MAL. its a complete mess right now T-T People of anime have whooped, roasted, beaten, and tamed my ass. I have learned my ways and will never speak that horrible word. But, believe me, MY DAY OF VENGEANCE SHALL COME(please dont take this seriously, just "trying" to be funny lol |

DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm a new OP song...not really sure how I feel about that part tbh. The art style feels rather a bit different but I think it's easy to adapt with. Those cockroaches are still butt ugly though. And also, the way this episode started gave me the impression of a gross feel related to the conflict humanity is still engaged in. Those screams though...I bet the VAs had a lot of fun.  what cause they look like black people racist bigot ? |

| i am disappointed ,the anime has become closer to Cgi and lost his style |
| ......."sou ka". Now I'm going to wonder if this absurd comedy was from the manga, and it was just removed from S1 (like many adaptations. Ie: GANGSTA), only to surface in S2. There were some jokes in S1s, such as the boys and Michelle, and they came off as dry. If it wasn't, well...The huge jump to dark to light (and the manga was nasty) was pretty big. I could say that I didn't mind that much. Maybe it's just for this ep? It's just weird to get a breather after a couple of years of waiting for S2. The animation for this was obviously....different. Been explained to death already. The first ep is roughly a repeat of S1 first ep, cept the kid replacing the little sister. That's actually not out of ordinary as Akari shows that kind side. This is considered to be a part of the "Sendou" genre (fighting), so they really really have to fix that martial arts movement. I think I can imagine improvement as some of the S1 fighting was swift or at a standstill. |

BlightBoy17 said: I gave the episode 5/5 because i enjoyed it and i think its unfair how people rate the anime bad just because of the used budget. Unfair?? What happened to the heavy atmosphere, horror feel and cool art style? What happened to the battles to the death where humans and cockroaches beat the crap out of each other? The gore, dark and gloomy environment, weird looking/silly/scary alliens, serious characters and the strategic fights by using the unique insect abilities in a life or death situation were the charm of this anime and now it's completely gone. Now we got some stupid PG-13 LN harem adaptation with cheerful and colorfoul atmosphere, comedy and cheesy character dialogues... and those boring fights? WTF?? Are you fucking kidding me?? Now they can only throw punches with action scenes even worst than Dragon Ball Super with no sense of danger or tension at all. It's like i'm watching teen titans or something. They also completely changed the characters personality. Like someone here said, they all went from "we came here to earn money for x reason, but now we are doomed to die" to "sigh, oh well, im here and shit, but that's ok. Let's have some nakama fun with ecchi moments". Michele, for example, is completely unrecognisable. I never seen such 180º turn in a show before. It's like your favorite metal band started to release Britney Spears like albuns..lol. Sad part is, there are people who actually liked this abomination. Like i said before, season 1 had it's problems, but this episode was just.... i don't even.... not like this, not like this... |
| Terra Formars YAY...OMG new style 0____0 |
| Oh shit I hope this is an April Fool's joke... otherwise what the fuck am I watching |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
Sanji-sun said: I think this season is beter then the first one, i love the art still but didn't like the op :P How can you say this "season" is better than the last one after watching only one episode? You can say you like the first episode, but you can't say it's better than the entire last season. Of course this goes both ways so i won't complain yet. Let's see the next 2 episodes first. |
I despise woke people. |
| Can I point and laugh at all the fucking people who watched 1 PV and thought that this was going to blow the first season out of the water? This shit was fucking garbage. The art and animation are both bad. The bgm is terrible now. They switched over to some moe, school-life SoL shit as soon as the fighting stopped. All of the characters look sorta similar now and quite generic, ffs Michelle's face was redrawn 12 different ways in this episode alone. Half the time she looked like a dude. There was an entire line she spoke and the character mouth didn't move. The abundant use of cheap ass CGI on the roaches is pretty bad too. The fighting has been kiddied down now. Before they'd attack roaches and their limbs and blood and green fluids and shit would be flying all over the place. Literally every time Michelle would touch someone the chemical reaction would make them explode with guts flying. Now they blow up in flames which makes no sense. Or they just drop dead with no gore. Every character now became an expert martial arts user. In season 1 humans were frail. A roach could use a make shift gun or toss a stone at 100mph and kill one of the characters in a split second. The whole point was to not get hit because they'd 1HKO you. The bug powers were always heavily used because that was their only means of attack. Now every character who fought was just going in hand to hand like it was no big deal, not using any powers whatsoever. And they could take hits like it was nothing. Season 1 was so much better. It was dark, gritty, mature. The characters all looked distinctly different. They all fought differently. There was always high tension and the threat of instant death looming. No character was safe. There was no time for dinner and shower breaks with happy music playing in the background. Honestly the only bright side of this new season is that it looks like they're shipping Akari and Michelle pretty hard. Which everyone is ok with. |

Ok lets complain, but without getting delusional, shall we? This episode was basically Michelle and Akari fighting and they always destroyed the roaches. No one else fought. Alex protected some guys, but the roach he grabbed wasn't one of those strong ones. You can even see those weak roaches killing almost everyone leaving just that blond girl and that was because the captain and those two guys arrived and saved her. I fail to see this "Every character now became an expert martial arts user". Can you point where you saw this? |

Honestly the only bright side of this new season is that it looks like they're shipping Akari and Michelle pretty hard. Which everyone is ok with. Couldn't agree more with this. I watched the uncensored version of S1 in early January so it's not to far out of mine. There is the brutality or darkness to this series, hell there isn't much blood either. Previously arms heads and blood went flying now we see complete corpse bugs. The thought of a MC dieing at any point seems to all but be gone. Before you couldn't tell who was going to get axed next (like akame ga kill) style. Now it seems mostly everyone is safe that made it through S1. Hopefully it turns darker soon or otherwise it's a shell of season one. The art style is also pretty lame but whatever, I could deal with that if it was the same everywhere else but that just adds to the frustration. I am wondering if they are going to release a Bluray with a totally different experience, maybe that's why they are holding back already. I know season 1 censorship was horrible so maybe that's why they dialed it back. Either way it seem pretty bad 1 episode in right. Here's hoping for a much better Ep2. |
 |
| So mostly everyone is crying like a little baby because of the animation change? Grow up people, if you don't like how it looks just make your own animation or not watch it at all. I for one don't care how the animation looks, I just appreciate that the creators took time off their hands to make the anime for people to enjoy. |
| We got to love the trolls...lol. On popular series they spam the number 1 rating, but in garbage adaptations like this one they give it a 5. That only shows how bad this season 2 is xD I almost fell off my chair laughing at the number of people that rated "5" and even "4" in this episode! You guys made my day! |

| Oh man... that was bad. REAL bad. Like, I don't even know where to begin. The first season wasn't amazing, but it had a lot of things a liked: the dark palette choices, character designs, the almost constant tension hanging over the cast as almost every time they let their guard down someone got their head ripped off, etc. In combat things felt weighty where they should, and fast where they should, the Terra Formars would obliterate weaker crew members in a single hit, and all but the most durable would be notably damaged from a single punch, and the cast members were the same, bulky characters would have strong hits that would kill or damage the bugs and fast characters would dispatch them in the blink of an eye, while weak characters, fast or slow, would do next to nothing. There were some animation flaws, and occasionally someone would have a nose so big it could trigger a jewish person, but in terms of atmosphere, fight choreography, etc. the first season did well. Better throw all that shit out the window, right? The color tones are bright and vibrant now, characters even shine like the sun when transforming, which cuts the gloomy horror atmosphere right off the bat, makes it feel so much more like generic shounen, which I don't think works in the shows favor. Akari is almost unrecognizable from his season 1 look. Hits don't seem to count for much now, literally the first episode and Akari gets taken into the sky and wombo comboed and doesn't seem really damaged till he crashes back to the ground, and on the reverse, he does a dumb little combo on the mole Terra Formar and none of the hits produce visible damage till he does a roundhouse kick to decapitate the damn thing. The tension is also totally fucked once the fight is over, jokes are being thrown around, Orca guy has the embarrasment/fear lines I would expect from a slice of life shoddily put over his face, just... christ. Almost nothing feels the same, and literally nothing seems to have changed for the better. Guess I'll just start reading the manga. Fuck. |
| Much better than the first season, the changes made were all to target a much broader audience and it appeals to me now, probably not the manga readers but its more than obvious that this anime isn't for the manga readers. Shueisha is really pushing this series the anime together with the live action. |

| Well... It's time to start read the manga I guess! I really liked the first season but this... |
 |
| so fuckin weird to start with... i think they're input some trash joke into them, it's absolutely annoying... i mean this is high tension anime show |
 |
| ummmm.... what did I seriously watched?! This starts off worst than Schwarzesmarken... like seriously?!? Liden Films did a better job on Schwarzesmarken than Terra Formar Revenge... weird. |
| Well, at least I really liked the opening song... |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| better episode than the first season lol haters gonna hate anything that doesn't have schoolgirls |
| I miss when even the lowest of the roaches can kill a human with a single blow, that makes every fight tense and trilling, because every blow could be the last for annyone, that really makes things serious and desperate to survive, but now they can punch and kick each other like they are doing some friendly spar, omg, even naruto taijutsu fights looks better than this u.u, "brilliant" way to take away the gore producers pussies ¬¬ |
| A life is a history with no end...it continues to be told by others endless. We do not own lives, we own histories! |
| OMG! What have they done to this show?! I'd rather have S1 censorship than this PG13 crap. Also, the animation looks horrendous for a 1st episode. I can only imagine how later episodes will look. |
