Hmm so we got some background storytelling this episode. Fair enough. I always thought Terra Formars is better when it concentrates more on characterization/background story.

What a guy though LOL. This episode was rather comical or at least the for first half. More dramatic second half.

This episode was funny in the first half and was dramatic in the second half!

I felt bad for Alexander.

That Asimov Family... They are surely interesting. Especially his wife and daughter. LOL
Sasha's determination... It's just too much he can't even think logically because of it. Even pay the "Ultimate Prize" for it. It's just too sad. :(

Damn man I didn't want Sasha to die. I really liked that line where Asimov said he didn't want his son to lose his family a second time.

They let go of more than the budget for this season.
Looks like the guy who was pacing flashbacks + present is also gone

This episode embodied what Terra Formars really should feel like. Alexander's tragic tale was rather engrossing, as were his feats against the Chinese unit. Observing the Division 4's supposed soldiers fare so poorly against a one-handed (yet determined soldier) was quite embarrassing, though.

I do hope this is the direction the remainder of the season will follow.

Yeah, the show could be great if all the episodes are as good as Episode 5, thank goodness they didnt screw up Alex backstory.

BTW, They actually used the chibi faces the right way this time.

Asimovs wife has Orochimarus voice, that made the whole scene with her and Gina punching Asimov very funny(Like I was watching a Gintama episode lol).

His hair never grew back? Jesus those punches made him permanently bald.

Funny first part, dramatic second half.

I knew he was going to die, he didn't look like the type who would live through to the end.

the best episode so far on this season, and maybe this style was the main reason i liked the first season to begin with, a background for a character before it dies.
no matter what was the result he fought , believing for what he wished for.

They captured the essence of Sasha's story perfectly. You just wish they'd go back to the original animation style so that it'd be a perfect adaptation.

New OP trying to set new tone, maybe they're listening to Japanese feedback. Still don't like that ED though.

Alexander episode almost rivals Adolf's two part episode arc from S1, his outcome probably even more sad since Alexander didn't accomplish killing his main target in the end despite hitting the apex of his resolve and determination.

To be able to take Asimovs punches to face repeatedly like that to get to Gina, the man had spirit.

Also side shoutout naked nipple-less Xi, guess that's way one to get nudity through without having to use weird blurs/cover-ups.

DAMNIT ALEX. Why? ;( Why did you have to OD!?

That was a good ep! I wish the design was fixed up a bit more, but I still enjoyed it! I completely forgot that was Asimov's daughter. What a family!

Whatever Xi is, there's too many aquatic (?) animals that can camouflage themselves.

And with a good ep, we get a rad OP! DEATH! SLAUGHTER! Keep it up, Revenge.

Gotta say, even though the show is complete trash in almost every aspect, I gotta give props to the story now.

Fighting the roaches was ok, but all of this political infighting and the alliances and betrayals and fights between squads is way more interesting.

Also, dem Barbie doll syndrome tiddies on the Chinese squad girl. Possible change in the BD? We shall see.

A rather decent adaption of Alexander's badass chapters, I remember really being sad after reading them, this was quite good.

If only they kept the same style though.. Sigh, the music is somewhat lacking but it ain't that bad, the animation and horror aspect is lacking heavily though.
The only thing this is motivating me to do is to continue reading the manga..
I remember reading until chapter 100 or 110 something only.

Alexander needs his own spin off set in the after life killing demons and evil spirits considering how bad ass he was in this episode. It hits the feels as much as the manga did rest in peace Alexander.

Good episode, doubt we'd feel this bad for Sasha if we weren't also exposed to his back story.

Dammit the feels is too strong. Baldy died for what he believes is right but these fucking traitors probably also have a good reason for doing this. I like how there are exactly no good or evil side, everyone's fighting for their own selfish reasons. Even the goddamn roaches are just defending their home.

New OP. Those X's, checks, and O's.

Alex fell in love with the oppai on first sight.

Asimov was like "Fock outta my crib." every time he punched Alex.

Hong-chan got some booty.

DAT INVISIBOOTY! DAT OPPAI!

Lack of nipples pains my heart.

RIP Alex.
