the death of that one girl at the start
. I'm tired of all the shounen and anime cliches, like hand holding explanations and too much information. as well as the scientific retardations. the anime had such a potential to create a great atmosphere, but instead they butcher any chance for it by retarded breaks and scene switches. the director/writer should be shot. one of the only things I like is that there's a story before this story, the one about the first trip to mars, gives some sense of continuity and creates a dangerous atmosphere.
well, I guess I shouldn't have expect much from a shounen anime, I knew it was going to be bad from the trailer, but what can you do when there's not much to watch, so you sometimes gotta take the risk in hopes of finding something decent or actually good. there's just so many throw-away and just plain stupid anime that I lost count. i'm kinda sad that I already watched most of the few good anime that are out there.
I know where youre coming from. Having read the manga before watching the anime made me raise an eyebrow at how rushed they decided to start it.
In the anime most if not all characters are cliché'd and have little to no significance to however is new to the story. It tries to create tension by all the killings and stress out all the japanese nationalism but i found it sub-par to other animes ive watched including other shounen. It goes into a somewhat lengthy infodumping process that takes up good chunk of the eps, personally i thought that these dulled the momentum but i understand that they are there for however doesnt know the backstory.
Also , to anyone interested, just watch the anime for the shounen action because the plot is pretty much standard. And dont try too hard to introspect on deeper connotations of the anime because there isnt any. Put short , the roles of both species are reversed. We use to kill roaches just because, they kill humans....just because.
Also , GG on calling your German character "Adolf". I cant even.
All and all i would give the anime a 4/10. It fell just short of being average because of those reasons. Its not that i didnt enjoy it but i found a lot of the stuff there rushed and contradicting some of the stuff in the manga pretty much. It felt like a somewhat decent Gantz knockoff and believe me when i say that i found Gantz's ending to be really fucking terrible enough to hate it. For me it felt a little bit smarter than "people die when they are killed", but a little bit dumber than "fun things are fun".
