| There is simply no tension at all, ever. Even if there is some interesting drama starting to hath, they rapidly cut it and newer talk about it again. Like for example there was a whole episode about Teppei father (which is weird and interesting considering Teppei is supposed to be an alien), just to never ever mention him again ... X_x |

| I fucking LOVED episode 23. Wanna know why? Because it acted like this entire trainwreck of an anime NEVER happened. |
 |
| its a real shame because its such a waste of porential. The tone of the show is completely schizophrenic too. Has anyone else noticed this? And whole scenes will be great... if taken completely removed and part of a different show |
CallMeIta said: I agree with you. Well for me the greatest plus is the fact I can have Kenichi Suzumura and Maaya Sakamoto together in important roles.Maybe I'm the only one, but I like it. I find it different from your ordinary mecha. I like the depth of the characters. I also like that they aren't trying to rush the young teens into a relationship. Everyone knows Magical Girl x Teppei was bound to happen, but I'm happy it didn't start showing until close to the end. I found episode 23 was a bit of a filler in my opinion, but I did like how it explored Captain's (forgetting the name at the moment) thoughts and made respect him even more. I think naked Hana is a bit of an overkill, but whatever. Edit: I agree that the different groups weren't explained too well, and I still have no idea what the computer has to do with any of this, or what the guy Kaiba (might be wrong name) has to do with it. I'm not so sure the different groups weren't explained well. Salty Dog were fanatics that wanted to save Earth their own way, sort of. Planetary Gears are "Space Vampires", as for Puck yeah we don't know shit and how Kube fits either, but it should be revealed in time. |

X_x This show is really terrible. Okay for one, Teppei is an alien, but they transferred his alien consciousness into a human body that was created with the DNA of his "father". So yes it was explained. But you're right he hasn't shown up yet, but the show isn't quite finished either. The bodyguard that died during the Bugbear arc was explained. It was a member of the ship that exploded and Baku brought back with his singularity. They wouldn't die until he willed them away by accepting his nature as one of the planetary gears. So a lot of this stuff has been explained and explored, but I guess not everyone understood it? Maybe that's why so many people seem to be hating on it? |

They wouldn't die until he willed them away by accepting his nature as one of the planetary gears.? Those were the best couple of episodes of the entire thing IMO, and yet his singularity was never brought back, was it? The dream at the end was explained to be an intrusion to try and disrupt the Link or something, did Baku do that? It was nothing like they showed before, his singularity was pretty good with an awesome backstory but never properly used again. |

| Time to write a list of things this show went wrong... - Too many characters The main four are already not developed enough or fleshed out. They tried to have too many one-episode arcs in the middle featuring the planetary gear characters. - Romantic/friendship potential wasted The episode where Hana and Daichi kissed showed that this show might have been better if it focused on the romance of the characters. It had a nice slice of life feel from the start and should have kept doing so. The childhood friends bond between Teppei and Daichi was really well done but not talked about later on. - Unfocused plot There was no clear goal since the start, just mecha action. In the last two episodes, they finally decided that the Amara and the other gears weren't the villains but the other guy. - Too much action I disagree with the person that said "not enough mecha for a mecha show". I thought it was too much action and not enough substance. Like I said, I wish it could be like Sidonia no Kishi where it did have good action at the right places but left time for world building and other daily life scenarios. |
| I kept watching, hoping it'd get better but the series was pretty average overall. Honestly the only reason I picked it up was because it was one of the better animated shows for that season. It was pretty to look at, but not much substance sadly. |

j0x said: nah if you watch a lot of mecha show then Captain Earth has average number of mecha battles I've seen a good amount. I'm not saying CE has more than them. I'm saying the action was not necessary when it couldn't tell the story properly. Less fancy machines fighting, more elaboration. And that's why I love Sidonia no Kishi! Minimal mecha but still good. |
| I just finished it...the main reason that i didnt even started was that many were calling it.....well not taht good show....and i had other things to watch.....but i picked it up yesterday and watched it whole....after the first 5 ep i just didnt understand why was all of you so angry at this show....maybe it just i wasnt expecting anything.....or that it would get boring....or just too much cliche after a while or that i was maybe targeted on younger audience....but this didnt happen....i enjoyed the whole show...from the start to the end.....it remainded me of many show...but mostrly probably the new aquarion and i think that it wasnt that much worse than that...in terms of story.....this is just my opinion ....and i am not forcing it on anyone....maybe i just like stories like this from time to time and just watched it in the right mood....donno....as i said overall...i liked it and dont regret time i spend on it. |

Glorfindel_ said: fairy tail my brotherI dont think it deserves to be called bad, but its nothing that blows you off your chair. I think the soundtrack and animation is decent, but the story and characters are a but so-so. I agree with the "average" stamp. |
| It's so average that I can give it more than 2/10 |

SalmonSandwich said: Also @Keten agreed definitely, the "if you think it sucks then don't watch the show" has always been an annoying rebuttal. No, that is just common sense. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| WOW! I do not know what to say, I don't hate this anime just that I cannot find a way to like it, its that anime I'm never gonna remember the ending of after the last episode And I know this is totally on me but what is up with taking all of "Humanity's Libido" thing, I mean they were saying this with straight faces so it should be a serious thing but it just made it more cringy to me And all the pointless information they put in this anime, so many specific terms that were unnecessary, so many scenes that could have been cutoff the anime and it would still make sense, i hate it when they do this 5/10 I guess #IknowthisisanoldforumpostIjusthadtosaywhatisaid |

| A lot of people like to complain about things that don't really matter. It's an over the top mecha coming of age story, and for that it's perfectly fine. |
