| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, that was actually intense considering a cockroach was being wrestled with. Neat transformations though. They also got rid of the censorship for most parts so the fight was decent imo. OST was okay I guess. They are getting teared apart quite a bit heh. Michelle kicking ass this episode. |

| So we got to see abilities and a few background stories. Pretty good episode but not that much progress. |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| Quite a bit of flashbacks in this show. Cliff hanger ending included in this episode. Overall it's a very average show. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Good episode. There was a chunk of flashbacks, but it was okay. Man that ending though. I hope Michelle will be okay. |
 |
| we got the background history of the characters the wrong way . anyway. better episode than the last couple |
| These flashbacks are still doing nothing. It's mostly just padding in between the violence and ruining the mood. Sakurato is a boy, right? Sounds like a boy by the voice and just the fact the name sounds like it could be a boy's name. But I don't think that's going to matter in the long-run. |

| Meh. Just a little bit better than before. But just a tiny little bit. |
 |
| -DAMNIT WOMAN!!!.......Kenshiro Would Be Proud -And THOSE GODDAMN FLASHBACKS!!!!!!.........So Annoying....... -Not to mention,The Cokroaches seem Rather Polite this Episode -When Do I Get to see Hitler Adolf Kick some Ass |

| cannot believe i am saying this but i loved this episode music, fight scenes, the way the flashbacks were done in this episode all around great episode |
| this show isnt great or anything close to it but damn is it entertaining ;) |
| They still are at the beginning. Nice flashbacb for the MC, and some explanatios. |
| I wish that like in the manga they'd explain more about the qualities of each of the base bugs. It's quite informative stuff. Cannot wait to see Adolf in action. |

| An episode devoted for character development? A bit too late, don't you think? |

| Michelle is too badass to die like that. She's gonna be OK... hopefully. |
| Second decent episode in a row. Astonishing. |
 |
| Can something happy happen please, I'm losing my sanity here. |
| A rather decent episode which is quite surprising to be honest. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| They added back some of the character development that they left out for Marcos, Alex, Akira and Sheila Now that the censors seem to be gone for the most part, it seems like this anime will end up being pretty decent....I'm still going to read the manga alongside it though Anyway, Michelle is officially now apart of my harem of ultimate waifus....She is so fucking OVERPOWERED lol :aww: Akira was pretty boss too But dat cliffhanger tho =o |

FaytNight said: The premise of the show is good and it's certainly better without so much censorship but I feel they've gone about this wrong. Rather than showing us flashbacks of a dead character which interupts the action on mars, if they had taken 3-4 episodes letting us get to know all the characters before they left for mars maybe all these deaths would have more impact. I find myself a lot of times going "eh, so that person died too, what was their name again?". Anyway I will probably keep watching so I hope it gets better. I agree, but that would be pretty difficult to do with only 13 episodes. This series definitely would've been better if it were a 22-25 length series. The rushed pacing is probably one of the main factors holding back the show from being better but overall this episode was not bad at all. |
| La familia es todo. |
| The exposition is so clumsy and intrusive. |
| Pulling the end of Marcos' flashback before the opening was a good choice. I wonder if the adaptation would shed more light on possible Fourth Generation with Sakurato, in case Annex I succeeds to investigate the virus and somehow deliver the info back on Earth. I liked the action, Michelle and Akari's fights being in focus is always great. |
| good action in this episode. much better without censorship. ^ Michelle -san was really badass ! I believe she is okay. |
| Akari is really overpower, he is the most badass character for me, Michelle also not far behind This episode had a small fanservice, plus some flashbacks, and good fights cons cheap Next episode will have Akari fighting again, I want to see how far the anime will cover of the manga .. |
  |
| Now I can say this is getting interesting. Michelle's pretty hot btw xD jk |
| Michelle please don't die TT_TT Every time i saw those strings from Akari, I thought they were going to cut through and chop the cockroaches to pieces but it never happened. 5 Episodes in and I am still not fond of the OP. |
| im not gonna lie, i find the cockroaches pretty adorable. they're the reason why i haven't dropped this series |
 |
| Locust roach arrives :O this means Jesus roach is upon us XD prepare thy selves. The flashbacks inbetween the Akari fight was meh at best :( The blast ant! thta was cool. |
 |
| Doubt Michelle is dead. Still think she's alive hopefully. Each episode feel dragging and slow. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 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. |
| It's getting better ... I guess. |
| Damn that cleavage..... I had a feeling she was gonna be grabbed from the water. Call it intuitive paranoia? When it got all quiet and she's splashing herself I was like....this is too quiet.. xD Was not expecting a roach to rocketship-in though. Dat guy on the ship should've snapped the little potion thing as soon as dat happened. Was good reaction from Akari though. Can't wait to see what happens next episode. I enjoyed the episode but like most, I agree they should've thrown the flashbacks before launch instead. I guess it sorta exposits backstory while showing his mindset as he rips apart enemies in one efficient clip but it definitely doesn't work out from a the viewer's pov. |
| NOOOOO! Do not kill the badass hot Michelle already. How can a woman that knows how to Kenshiro die like this? You better not dare!!! Btw she should have said to that cockroach that stood up behind her before it explodes "You are already dead". That would have been awesome. |

| michelle dead? pace seems to be a bit slow though. approaching half way through series and all they have done is land on mars and get rolled |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| It's gradually getting better, which is very good. Another episode without censorship! Sugoi ! Too bad it's a one-cour... So, I don't expect much. |
 |
| Hopefully nothing happens to Michelle. And also, what kind of moth is Akari? o__o |
 |
| Finally! I've been waiting to see some action in this anime for quite a while now. It was a pretty good episode, it seems like they are only censoring the human deaths because some of the roaches deaths seemed pretty brutal. |
 |
| Hmm... seems like the series is getting better and interesting because of the action scenes. Too bad it is kind of ruined by the flashback. Nice cliffhanger though. I hope Michelle is fine. Kinda seen it coming that an enemy will pull her down the water but it is still interesting. |
| I just kinda want a slow episode for once... |
 |
| Damn this episode was good. and that ending . . . like WTF now I have to read the manga cuz the suspense is chipping off my sanity |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| Those flashbacks and bar talks are getting annoying. I don't say they are useless, but the way they throw them off in the middle of the action is really getting on my nerve. The backstory should have been done before, I don't give a shit at this point. I'd also rather they make one half episode with just the talk at the bar and then we can move on and focus on the stuff that happen on Mars. |
