Kicking off the new autumn anime line-up with some rather gruesome (though thoroughly censored) violence is highly anticipated bug invasion anime Terra Formars, delivering on its promise of visceral combat with its initial episode and even offering some emotionally driven backstory to support its gory escapades.
Omake:
After reading it.. the sNk comparison is actually quite shallow.
So, we’ve got some human-like things terrorizing humanity. The similarities end there. In fact, it’s actually progressing faster than Titan and they actually take a moment to explain what the f♥♥k is going on.. Until the the Super Roaches show up- Then it’s all motherfucking Fist of the Joeseph Joestar.
I can already smell a cross over with Dynasty Warriors…
I don’t quite understand the hatewave this serie is getting. Yes it is a Shingeki no Kyojin wannabe, but how does that make it a bad manga? You people are bitching as if 80% of shounens out there aren’t also One Piece or Dragon Ball wannabes.
It has more plot complexity, character depths, and researches(albeit half-assed at times) poured into it far more than most other action animes(lol SAO and Mahouka).
I don’t mind people wanting to be haters, I am an avid SAO hater myself, but only because I can list detailed paragraphs of the reasons why I hate it. When you say “this thing sucks, I can’t explain why but it just does”, then that’s a little juvenile.
So you can list hundreds of detailed paragraphs for anything that you hate? Allow me to doubt that.
And NO! You don’t need to list countless of tl;dr reasons to be able to hate on something. That would just be ridiculous, not to mention a waste of time.
The hate is from the blatant racism, i believe. the roaches are so obviously black people it hurts
False, they are based on the Homo Erectus fossils/reconstructions. It’s trying to imply the roaches are following the same evolutionary stages as humans.
alright then I’ll do it.
-It’s a Shingeki no Kyojin derivative, and I dont even like SnK to begin with so I like a derivative even less.
-It’s sadistically violent in a way that surpasses SnK and just becomes goreporn
-The plot is absolutely ridiculous and takes itself way too seriously despite this
-the characters are incredibly flat
-its another of those series that think making everyone die makes it ‘deep’
so yeah I have plenty of reasons to hate on it regardless of whether or not its popular.
-Hating on the fact that it’s goreporn is kinda meaningless, considering half of the other crowd bitches about the censoring. I don’t enjoy goreporn but I don’t hate on it either, if the majority of modern animes rely on boobs and lollies to sell, I don’t see why a goreporn would be a problem.
-How is the plot ridiculous? It’s unrealistic, yes, but its a scifi and it operates quite well on scifi standards. The author at least tried to do some researches before writing this story, once again I admit it’s rather half-assed at times, but he tried, which is much more than can be said for other animes. If you can enjoy stories that use magical logic, I don’t see how Terra Formars is “ridiculous”.
– Characters are flat, yes to a certain extent a good amount of them are, but once again, still deeper and more believable than SAO and I daresay, actual Shingeki no Kyojin(Mikasa and Levi has near zero depth and their expressions certainly prove that, yet they’re still extremely popular).
– Yes, the way it handles death is kinda dumb because it underutilize the character’s potential just for the sake of shock value, but once again, I don’t see how it’s different than other series such as all the Urobuchi stories.
Terra Formars is not a masterpiece, it’s an okay anime/manga that deserves okay treatment, that’s why I’m not getting why it’s so hated here.
The *sniff* f****** *sniff* censors.
If you always wait for the BDs this is hardly a problem.
Crap to the censorship.
Spoiler alert:
People here are nubsters.
