*And my final negative point is the same like in my review of the first season, the open ending. Did they do that to apply to a broader public? Lidenfilms made quite the misjudgment there because they lost the interest of all the original watchers. Let’s get rid of the dark animation, the blood, the gore and the overall depressing mood and replace it with simple, more colorful animation and lame comedy. It was like they took the first season and flipped it over completely. Why? Why put such lame ass comedy in an action, horror anime like Terraformars? I wouldn’t have minded some comedy in this second season but it was so stupid, the cringe was so real. *Now for all the gore that they erased from the anime, something came in return, the comedy. But now in this second season they just erased all of the gore, almost all of the blood and therefor the violence and fights were so much lamer than in the first season. That’s what made Terraformars enjoyable to watch at. Where was all the gore? The violence, the blood, the gore, that’s why we watched the first season of this anime. But that’s not really helping here since there was nothing to censor anymore. *Now you could say that there wasn’t that horrible censoring anymore from the start of season 1. I liked the dark animation from season 1 a lot more like probably almost every Terraformars watcher.
Why did Lidenfilms, the studio, completely change the animation and art style of Terraformars? The whole dark and depressing atmosphere that was present in the first season was gone through this new, simpler kind of art. I think that everyone who watched the first episode of this season had a heart attack whilst watching it. And yes they were quite some problems with this second season. Now the negative side of this review because I think that everyone who watches anime has seen or read some of the reactions that were released after the first episode. But remember that these are my personal thoughts on this matter and it could be total bullshit. Am I the only one who immediately thinks of the Arian race as portrayed by the nazi’s in the second world war? Again, it’s just too much coincidence that the strongest guy in the anime looks like that. Super strong, blond hair, blue eyes, comes from pure bloodlines. I mean the roaches are big, buffed and the whole facial structure resembles that of the black stereotype a bit too much to be coincidence in my opinion.Īnd if we look at the other side of the perspective: Joseph, number 1. But if I look at the roaches with an objective eye, I can’t help but make that link. Don’t they look suspiciously much like the stereotype of a black person? I’m not trying to be racist, I want to make that clear here. If we’re all very honest for a moment and look at the design of the roaches. How doesn’t this anime cause more controversy when it comes to the design of the characters. *And the last thing that I want to say isn’t really a positive point but more of an overall thought that I can’t get out of mind about Terraformars. Whilst on one hand we still saw some epic fights between our characters and the roaches, they also had to fight each other in order to survive. And this double fight added an extra layer to the anime. *Next point was that this season diverted a bit away from the first since in this season we don’t only get the battle of man versus roach like in season 1 but also the fight of man versus man. I really liked Adolf and his story and this season’s characters didn’t came close to his level. They were still good but by far the best arc in this entire anime was the one of Adolf in the first season. Now expect for him, the other backstories didn’t came to the level of those from the first season. He had, in my opinion, the most compelling backstory combined with what happens in the anime.
To me the saddest backstory of this season came from Alexander. That’s something that Terraformars fortunately kept from the first season. *Continuing on the characters I have to say that some of the backstories of the new characters were pretty sad. On that note I also have to mention that the second season puts a lot of focus on completely new characters that get introduced in stead of building further on the important characters of season one, I mean they’re still there but they don’t get as much time and development as they got in the first season of Terraformars.įor a video review, check out my Youtube channel.
And here he played an important role instead of just having his own arc like in that first season. Now next to number 1 I was also glad that Keiji returned in the second season since he was one of my favorite characters in season 1. In the second season we finally get to see the strongest fighter of the crew or at least he is according to the MARS ranking. *My first positive point was one of the reasons I really wanted a second season of Terraformars and that was number 1.
