Terra Formars

Everything you loved from cheesy 80's movies, all the fighting and action of the JoJo series set in a world inhabited by mutant bug men from Mars, like in the old black and white horror movies people used to watch. If you don't like violence then this just isn't your show, not worth watching the censored version. But it isn't 'vile just to be vile' and it doesn't seek out fan service like other shows people watch that ruin the pacing with bad comedy or skin. SJW's will pull out certain scenes from the show to make it seem like there is an agenda, but it doesn't have one. It's a show meant for older teens who grew up watching Saturday mourning action shows in the early 90's, where the good guys go up against the bad guys. I like watching this more then DBZ super, naruto and bleach because those shows have gone on so long they're really just anime crap at this point, unlike shows like this or yu yu hakusho or Attack on Titan. The second season isn't bad either, again people just were pulling out scenes with no context and reading too deep into caricatures.

I was extremely impressed with the anime. I've fully read the Manga and noticed very little to almost no changes in the anime. It is one of the few anime out there that follows 98% of the Manga to the letter. It's also delivered non-stop action in the uncensored version along with a spot on back story for everyone just like in the Manga. I highly recommend others to watch the anime and to read the Manga in hopes for more seasons to come. However I still have to state to only watch it uncensored due to extremely graphic content consistently happening in almost every episode. If you like GANTZ, or other violent/action sci- fi, this is the series for you.

An incredibly interesting concept that is completely flushed down the toilet by awful execution. The art is pretty good and I liked the technical end of this anime but the writing and characterization were in most cases sub-par and in some cases genuinely bad. Near the end of season 1, I found myself desperately hoping that it would just end, as I just plain didn't care about any of the still-living characters or what they're doing, mainly because frankly they weren't doing anything except for punching monsters in character-unique ways.

In complete fairness, maybe season 2 fixes everything, but I never bothered watching it because season 1 was botched on so many levels. It's not a complete waste of time but I wish I had watched something else.

Both seasons are disappointing for different reasons.

Season 01: (4/10 Stars) Gore porn. I've seen reviews talking about how the brutality was key to the story and I'd buy that if they were consistent with it, the story was stronger and the brutality was logical.. Ripping someone spine out and then using it as a sword is just plain dumb. The one thing it did have going for it was killing off or crippling characters right as you "slightly" invested in them or they got interesting.

Season 02: (0/10 Stars) They took everything remotely good and flushed it down the drain. They strangely trying adding some Ecchi to the whole thing, cutesy word bubbles, blushing females flirting with the male characters, bad jokes and a complete lack of deaths (Other than random redshirts that have no names until after they die) Oh, and all the characters got insanely stupid, making criminally bad choices for what are supposed to be the elite of the elite..

Season 1 is the best(uncensored) its amazing and the character building is fantastic. In season 2 they ruin everything great they built up. They change from a thriller-ish dark style which makes you actually fear the terraformars to a light and colourful world were characters who were hard suddenly went girly. They changed a lot like this and took away most of the good story they built up.

Simply explained watch season 1 and keep it as an open ending because season 2 is just bad...
