There's one good thing about this episode: it's the first episode that was properly adapted with good pacing.

Btw, each episode introduced a new way of censoring:
Episode 1: Black bars
Episode 2: White bars
Episode 3: Black circles
Episode 4 will probably be white circles.


Episode 5 might be black squares, and by the end of the series we're going to get censorship in all the geometrical forms...

I think the producers have sorely miscalculated with the way they have used censorship here. So many people are going to be turned off. The characters and writing are not exactly stellar and if you remove 'good' looking action scenes from the equation, you're left with very little.

Does anyone have an idea how the Japanese viewers are taking this?

idk if i can review anymore the censorship just takes away from the excitement. I like this kind of censorship tho as opposed to TG cuz at least i know for sure the blurays will be uncut.

Oh my goodness gracious the censors are absolutely ridiculous. i had no idea what was going on half the time... thank god i had already read the manga so i knew what happened but I could definitely see how confused non manga readers will be when watching this. I don't know how to feel about this anime tbh. Even though the manga is one of my favorites the rushed pacing and censoring is completely ruining the anime for me. Definitely extremely disappointing. For everyone who is dropping this series, I don't blame you. I'd highly recommend the manga though, it is 1000000X better than the anime so far.

I was told this was a 17+ action gore anime. I am extremely disappointed. I've seen more gore in romance animes. I have no idea in hell what was up with the censoring. The censoring is so annoying and lousy that it looks like they're using microsoft powerpoint to do the censoring. Like what the actual hell. They're barely showing the cockroaches encounters with the humans. The fight scenes are being kept to a minimum and I'm getting a hella lot of fillers. Shocking. This should be a PG-13 anime if they're going to keep this farce up.

I might drop this. The next episode needs to be dramatically better otherwise I'm waiting for the BD's. To be honest I'd prefer a completely remake of the whole anime series. I was so looking forward to this. What a massive disappointment.

Apart from the censorship, I actually enjoyed this episode. Those cockroaches are terrrifying as hell and they seemed to be ready for the humans. Ironically, the humans die like roaches. I get the feeling all of them would die though.

Can't wait for the next episode. Haters gon' hate.

LOOOL Those black circles xD That's even worse than covering half of the screen. It looks out of place so much xD Man it's actually getting quite humorous. This has to be a joke. As somebody else mentioned before I've seen more uncensored brutality and gore in romance anime.

I really thought the story was fine and worth to watch but if they continue like this it's just exhausting. I basically have yet to see a proper combat scene. The only uncensored one was when Michelle killed that one cockroach on the ship and that was over so fast that I didn't know what happened even after watching it a second time.

But enough about censoring. It was kinda obvious that at least one team had to attacked by roaches right after landing :P Although I didn't expect two to be attacked. But even the one target was quite obvious. Joseph just seemed like that usual "bad luck" good guy.

I really like the manga but the censorshiop is really bad. Like in Tokyo Ghoul (although that adaption was butchered) the censorthip didn't look terrible atleast. And one of the values of Terra Formars is the ridiculous killing scenes and blocking it out is terrible and destroys the original source.

And come on ripping off a head is reasonable censorship but you have to censor a god damn arm getting cut off?

Aaand dropped. Kind of hurts the impression when an action/horror anime refuses to let us see its action and horror. The premise, story and characters aren't good enough to compensate; maybe things improve later on, but that doesn't excuse this opening.

It's a shame, too, because the music is decent and I really like the art.

Maybe I'll give it a second shot once the uncensored blu-rays make it online. Until then, just no.

The true enemy of this show isn't the roaches, it's the black bars of death!

Seriously, what's the point of sticking this show in a late-night slot if it will still be mutilated to the point of becoming nearly unwatchable?

Can't believe people rate a show due to its censoring. The only way it can air on TV is with censors, so if you care that much about seeing heads ripped off, wait for the uncensored version. Don't bitch about the actual anime.

yeah i think people are too harsh but the censoring here is just absurd. i wasn't complaining until this episode where it really took away from the story.

Just start from the very beginning. One of the biggest complaints about the anime is its rushed pacing. It completely skipped BUGS 1 and they are basically cramming BUGS 2 into two OVAs so they skipped ALOT of scenes and character development for the characters. So yeah, just start the series all over in the manga and pretend you never saw the anime. You will be surprised at how vastly different and improved the manga is when compared to the anime.
