 |
| Finally finish watching the first episode, not bad. The censoring is a bit too much imo. I read the first volume of this series since last year, I think I will catch up to the manga. 4/5 |
| TG is tolerable, this was like, 80% of the screen gradiented. New source for my Censorporn, but other than not being able to see much of anything for a few clips there, I'm sort of liking this story a bit. |
| So I'll be watching this and writing my thoughts down as I go along: Ok, well, I think I'll give this one more episode. If I don't like it, I'm dropping. I like that the characters are adults, and for the most part act like it. But the writing definitely seems amateur so far. |

| ^ If you wanna know, keep watching. |
| Are you serious? Humanity fights against giant cockroaches? Ridiculous. I really hope it gets a lot better. |

| I'm not gonna lie; the first minute of this creeped the fuck out of me. >.< The censorship kind of made me wonder what the hell exactly happened when Akari killed that bear (I know Akari stabbed its eye, but that's it). Although I'm, not surprisingly, no fan of censorship, I'm hoping it doesn't bother me too much. This was an okay first episode (Could've been better, but oh well). |
| Eh.... it was a nice episode though felt a bit different from the manga and a bit rushed and I don't mind the censoring |
| So far so good, it's got me interested. More back story about the giant cockroaches and Bugs 1 and 2 will hopefully come in following episodes. The only thing so far that I'm not liking are the censors but apart from that its very good. |

| It was a hell of a lot better than the OVA. |
Syran said: And another thing is, if such a huge ammount of people drop this because it's censored, they've already lost a ton of buyers. Nobody's gonna buy this just to get rid of the censors. The only thing censoring like this does to a show, is increase the ammount of piracy when the BD is out. Eh. I'm probably going to disagree with you on that bolded point. Adaptations are to promote the author's work. Sometimes censored material isn't normally what makes people drop a certain anime. Maybe it could be characters or simply the plot. Take a look at Tokyo Ghoul. As I mentioned before, maybe censoring is just one of the factors to dropping an anime. Some people were completely turned off and either stopped caring about the series OR moved onto the manga. People who enjoyed the manga a little more might to decide to buy a volume of Tokyo Ghoul. Or maybe people who were fans of the anime adaptation are willing to buy the anime because they enjoyed it or would like to support the SP and the author. Of course, no one is going to buy just to not only remove the censors, but also support the industry. |
| First anime of the new season! I'll keep on watching since it seems decent. Also ew cockroaches. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Akari! Alex! Adolf! Marcos! Komachi! I finally got completely caught up with the manga last week and was really looking forward to this. Unfortunately, the censoring has really pissed me off. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Wow the first episode......... was mediocre. Kind of confusing since the 1st OVA came out first, sort of rushed the whole thing, and the worst part is the censors are present in here. I was having some high hopes of this, but then I guess I was wrong. Although Michelle sort of save this episode, she looks interesting enough. Even though they are slamming information about the giant cockroach and the virus is spreading, it should give us more information about this, but I think they will explain it again in later episodes. Though I like the synopsis of this, so I will stick around until the end. Overall, sort of a weak start, but I hope it gets better in later episodes. The first episode gives me a 6/10. |
| The art tho. Reminds me of cartoons. Its okay so far i will continue to watch.unless its like 20 episodes |
| 50% censored to save their budget? |
| ALIEN VS. YAKUZA pretty alright. The cockroach design is silly i kinda love it, I'm considering this as kinda a lame/fun action flic and hopefully will enjoy it. |
| Alright first episode. It's nice to look at when it's not censored, but that won't hold my attention for long. |
 |
| First episode a bit rushed, only the story of Akari was shown, well if the anime has same only 13 episodes there is not much to do about it, but hopefully not run and leave important details backward I liked the animation and the soundtrack also seemed to be good, if continue with development of manga and censorship does not interfere, everything has to be among the best of the season .. |
  |
| Oh boy, that censoring is as real as it can get I wish we could've seen more backstory between Akari and his childhood friend and more of this AE virus. Also, introducing a shit load of characters and a timeskip to two years when they launch -_- Hopefully the pacing won't be that bad and killing off any side characters without any proper development won't happen every single episode. 3/5 |
 |
Moodie said: can't even blame funimation for censorship but honestly don't produce an explicit series just to have it censored there are parts in the manga that will probably never air if the censoring is this bad over the first episode ... What? Funimation has literally nothing to do with the censorship, and you think they produced Terra Formars? |
Winter_Fox_TamiSep 26, 2014 8:57 PM
| A little bit better than the ova but still the pacing is very fast & the censorship.....facepalm! |
 |
| Well, that was a decent start although the censors. How come a gore anime can be animated with censors? |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| I got some serious Nobunaga the Fool vibes from this (not the story necessarily, but it's "feel"/"atmosphere")... which doesn't give me high hopes for the rest. |
| Not bad. Animation-wise it was kinda disappointing, but in overall nothing cringe-worthy apart from those censored scenes. Hope we get actual character development before they start killing everyone. The cockroaches are soooooo ugly. Now imagine when we start getting fan art involving them and someone from the cast... "bonding"... (since there's a manga to this, chances are this already happened and... <get the chills>) Also, HS comments section never fails to lift my mood: "is terra formars the gayest anime of the year yes guy gets blowjob from bear then kills it because he's angry homo and then the enemies of the anime are cockroaches you ask wtf cockroaches are gay now oh of course they are bc COCK roaches got what I meant yeah gayest anime of the year bye ppl" |

| TerraCensars |
 |
| It was quite interesting for the first episode. Hoping that this doesn't end up like TG. |
 |
| best part is that the cockroaches apparently use guns. Thug life |
| A decent amount of anime I've seen paint rich people in a horrible picture. Why would a rich person go to a place like this, in which they could get robbed or killed just to watch some guy fight a fucking bear. It's so weird and random. |
 |
| Wow, that was bad. The animation is ugly, the character designs are bland, Akaris background story was as formulaic as it can be and the german characters are named Adolf and Eva? Really? Well, the censorship is not their fault, some of the backgrounds were decent and the soundtrack was listenable, but aside from that... |
| In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom. |
| Why do you even censor anime? It´s not like a live show. Gore in cartoon dosen´t scare anyone? Nailscene in higurashi and crying make you cringe. |
| Rushed. Censored. Sad. They should not be doing this :'( was awaiting the anime adaptation. And how rushed was this episode.. :/ Akari is fighting a bear and 5-7 mins later Marcos and Alex join the crew to undergo the operation.. if this lasts, some vital scenes will get butchered |
| 00:21 dat Beeburr 03:22 dat overweight 'Murican 04:03 saru ka, temee 07:40 HENSHIN 10:56 wutt 15:18 Eva<3 16:12 ohh yehhh 18:59 ..and fight aliens 19:23 bingo 20:29 so u have superpower too huh 23:31 dat Earth cockroach evolution into muscular humanoid lol 7.5/10 for this ep. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Hahahaha this is the bad way to start the series. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Rushed. Censors don't really annoy me but with the amount of killing and gore this show is supposed to have, expect a ton of constant dark-censored scenes. Yikes. That said, this wasn't particularly a strong first episode. 1-cour too...it's like Tokyo Ghoul all over again :/ (at least Tokyo Ghoul had a strong start) What I liked about this: Adolf <3! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Eh, I'll watch it anyway. I watched the OVA episode that's available before I watched this one, so I at least kinda had an idea what was going on, but not enough that it fixed the pacing. I actually thought I was watching a different anime in the beginning, though, lol. That censoring is going to be a bitch for the next 12+ episodes. |
  |
| This is going to be the biggest comedy of the year. |
| Pretty good stuff here! Censors are over 9000 though :( |
| Aside from the massive censor, I did not mind this first episode. It was quick but didn't mind it. I do agree that the censoring is going to be a huge limiter both on straight adaptation and thus enjoyment but shall see. So far I'm in for continuing this. The cockroaches do look absurdly stupid I will admit..which is going to be another limiter. |
