| Yeah, I feel like the Teraists had a lot of potential, but they end up being kind of boring and one dimensional. |
| The narrator more or less spoils shit by saying what's going to happen before it does. Like at the end of an episode you might get straight up told what's going to happen five episodes later or similar. Don't know what was up with that :s That was the only complaint I had constantly from start to finish (other than the animation quality but I can live with that) |

| I'm probably the only one who thinks that terrainism cult represents how the far right actually is in the real world. At least in my country, where religious groups/parties and the mullah have a lot of influence...like the cult in lotgh, they want to turn back time and take us all in the stone age, they're irrational, stupid, bigoted, often times violent (if not physically then verbally), and they provoke religious sentiments of the conservatives. Seriously, The terraists are like a cheesy version of the religious far right of my country (and probably most of muslim world) |

| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| The nobles were mostly portrayed as one-dimensional jerks (except Mariendorfs), but it had a point. It was obvious that they were first big obstacle for Reinheart on his way to galaxy domination. Terraists however were introduced well later. It was even implied that they might be the most dangerous element Loengramm is going to face - a completely irrational suicidal group of people with huge influence and ties to the government. The possibilities for interesting conflicts were endless, just like chankljp said above. But they ended up being a bunch of crazy people, blowing shit up all over the place. Huge wasted potential. They did manage to kill, however, one of the smartest people in the Empire, my personal favorite - Oberstein. Though, I choose to believe that it was intentional on his part, narrator wasn't even sure himself. I would say Terraists were the worst part of this show. |
| I agree. The Terraists were a rather one dimensional lot and sometimes came off as if they had wandered in from another shot. But I suppose that people like that can exist in real life too. |
| I disagree, I think the weakest aspect are the following characters. 1. Julian 2. Merkatz 3. (TBA) Fortunately, one of them has ceased thanks to our great handsome Kaiser. |

Confucius said: I disagree, I think the weakest aspect are the following characters. 1. Julian 2. Merkatz 3. (TBA) Fortunately, one of them has ceased thanks to our great handsome Kaiser. What was your problem with Merkatz? OT: I see the role the author intended for the Terraist cult, but it did come off as a crazy group just for the sake of being a crazy group. Their unlimited ability to infiltrate anything was also an irksome issue for me. |
