How terrible was that running on the spot? Yeah, not a lot explained very well. But a big set up for a possible second season... or a push to read the manga. I got that there was a team which betrayed everyone, but was I supposed to know who Rahab is? I seem to recall that name in the OVA as well.

I'll give it a 5, in that it was terrible and I loved it.

That was a freaking massive cliffhanger, i hope there is a second season. Also everyone should go read the manga, it's amazing.

Last episode with many battles, but I found a development well fast of them

I also think that the plot was not very clear to anyone who does not follow the manga, many information were passed at once, but generally it was a good episode

The anime in sum was very jumbled by censorship at the beginning and the plot has fallen short of the quality that the manga has, but it was still a good adaptation, but recommend the manga that is much better ..

Wow this show was bad. Meh characters, non-existant storyline, mediocre fights. It felt like almost every episode was simply killing a bunch of roaches!

Season 2 when? Which chapter where the anime stop?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Series really picked up steam during Adolf arc and onward, some things came together in the finale. Get the same feeling watch this as I did with Gantz, just good fun with a nonsense backdrop for a story. A 2nd season doesn't seem so far-fetch for this series. Just a matter of patience, I look forward to it.

The directing of the action scenes in this episode was so messy. At times I'm just like wtf even happened. Felt like they were trying to speed up the action so they could put as much as they want.

So they went for the cliffhanger route. If I hadn't read the manga I would certainly do so now because wow, what a place to end at. The Chinese. It's always the Chinese. I would be up for a season two if that ever happens because there's another character that I really like due to his back story, just like how Adolf was awesome because we all feel for him.

Just checked and I would say chapter 53-ish. They rushed this last episode and switched some things around I think.

Pretty exciting last episode. I guess there's not a single doubt this was left open for a second season but let's see if they actually do it...I hope so.
As many have said this was not a great show but it was cool an entertaining.
I would definitly watch a second season. :)
Final score: 6/10

I had hopes for this anime but it turned into a boring comedy.
underdeveloped characters getting a half-assed back-story before being killed off, in an episodic-like storyline with mediocre action scenes. A narrative voice explaining science stuff, killing off moments of tention and excitement. And who can forget the laughable censorship?The only worthy mention here is Adolf.
Sorry not sorry.... but really.

I'm totally okay if you liked this anime but you have to be ignorant if you disagree that this anime was incredibly poorly executed, which made it into crap. *sigh*

No I'm not butthurt, i thought it was sad, but pretty funny xD On nyaa, someone in the download section posted a picture when a squad got censored. He drew smiley-faces on them.

I never thought I would say this (in the case of this series), but the final episode was far too action packed. The plot was rather hard to follow.

Fine, I guess. Still, I do hop there will be another season.

If this doesn't have a sequel I will be very dissapointed. Till know we get pretty much no story, just fighting.

Eh it was ok. I actually preferred the beginning, the premise was really cool and interesting but then it got into the characters. But it never made me actually care about any of them, I found them all rather forgettable in the end it just got kind of boring.

The problem I had with this series is the characters dying without much back story. Their death has little to no effect on me. Despite saying that I know I can't expect much for a 1-cour. Although Adolf character was handled quite well.

Great OP/ED though.

overall 5/10

So finally caught up and finished the season. I have to say that I had high expectations for this anime and it wasn't as great as it could have been.

I felt that the whole season was an introduction to the main characters from each country with a bit of a storyline thrown in to tie it all together. I thought Adolfs arc was the best!

I really hope that they do a second season to this as I felt the second half of the season was where it started to pick up. Plus, those damn Chinese at the end being the betrayers makes me want to know more about what their deal is! Also, knowing that their is someone back on Earth that isn't going to abandon the survivors is definitely worth getting a second season for!

All in all, this was a decent anime! 7/10!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

Great watch especially postseason that the censoring is gone. These 13 episodes were more like an introduction so I'd be really disappointed if there won't be a second season.

Nth anime who wastes the potential he had, not being able to go beyond the surface with respect to the real story, relegating the narrative to a mere container full of fights and things predictable.
Somewhat as poor quality of the drawings and animations of mediocre level.
I hope you do better next season.
My vote is 6/10!

I found this anime interesting. The plot is definitely... well, it was something and I could see potential in it but somehow there's something wrong with how it was executed.

The cliffie ending also didn't really do it for me. I'm sort of curious in what happens afterwards but I don't think I'll watch the next season if there ever will be one. I'm even surprised I managed to watch this anime all the way to the final episode. :p

Well, I think the concept is really interesting, and that the plot have potential......but they didn't do well to use them. Still, fuck me cause it is still a pretty fun watch with all the killings, gore, their powers, and that narrator ahahaha.
I would watch the season 2 if they will make one. I might read the Manga someday. Time to watch the OVAs next. Thank you ^^

I don't know what to think about the show. The action (-early censoreship) was quite nice, but most of the plot was shallow/phoned in/predictable and the general flow was skewed. I would've like to see the stories prio to the fighting and not amidst the action.
Still a 6/10 for what it was, now they just need to announce the second season.

Well I watched this uncensored just to get that out of the way.
Anime reminds me of some Japanese X-men. Not my style of entertainment, I hate when there are too many overpowered characters.
The actual plot was hit and miss, there were some good episode and some really boring ones (surprisingly enough the flashback episodes were more fun to watch than the pointless action). Speaking of flashbacks, it's a poor way to develop characters (showing their past selves instead of developing them as a series goes on).
Animation was good. This season was pretty much the "introduction" to the characters (not even all of them) and the universe.
Overall pretty mediocre but not too bad. With the censoring it would be even worse though.

Woah. I almost gave this semi-high production a skip due to the negative reviews and average score but I must say that I am glad that I picked this up. Terra Formars at least put all the Marvel animes to shame. I have enjoyed the wild ride myself and definitely would love to see a second season, might consider reading the manga too.

I enjoyed it. Character designs and art were great. Story was lacking and so were the main characters especially Akari with his generic personality. They could have also make the roaches look more believable. Apart from that everything was pretty good especially Adolf's character. It was disappointing when he died. I really hope they make season 2 but I highly doubt it. Overall 7/10.

everything after adolf was crap.. starting with boxing dude

first half was epic as fuck with all the gruesome and unexpected deaths

could use a bit more fan service and plot development though.

dragged out shit about each characters way too long, although adolf was an exception

8/10 first half, 6/10 second half

7/10 overall

oh ya.. nice to see the cockroach leader got pwn by #1 ranked dude as well

Interesting show, brutal and quite emotional in some episodes. It was good to see characters background and they did really good job with that but 13 episodes of fighting with not real story, meh.
It was entertaining but thats about it, im looking forward to season 2 though.
