Everything you loved from cheesy 80's movies, all the fighting and action of the JoJo series set in a world inhabited by mutant bug men from Mars, like in the old black and white horror movies people used to watch. If you don't like violence then this just isn't your show, not worth watching the censored version. But it isn't 'vile just to be vile' and it doesn't seek out fan service like other shows people watch that ruin the pacing with bad comedy or skin. SJW's will pull out certain scenes from the show to make it seem like there is an agenda, but it doesn't have one. It's a show meant for older teens who grew up watching Saturday mourning action shows in the early 90's, where the good guys go up against the bad guys. I like watching this more then DBZ super, naruto and bleach because those shows have gone on so long they're really just anime crap at this point, unlike shows like this or yu yu hakusho or Attack on Titan. The second season isn't bad either, again people just were pulling out scenes with no context and reading too deep into caricatures.

This series tries hard to give the feeling 'Attack on Titan' has by presenting individuals fighting for humanity against an enemy with no fear/pain/individuality; but sadly has WAAAY too many holes in its poor plot and has poorly scripted attempt at connecting us with the individuals and their heroic sacrifices.Most of the characterization feels like a needless filler, since they come right before character sacrifice him/herself. It is an attempt at us feeling something for what is about to come, but unfortunately does not do a good job in achieving that.For the plot holes / poor script: **SPOILER FROM HERE** Characters are 100 people whose mission is to go to Mars, fight primitive cockroach/caveman hybrid enemy and capture samples to bring back to earth as a 3rd mission where first 2 failed.Selected people go through extremely expensive surgeries to alter their bodies, and sent by extremely expensive spacecrafts. But for some reason fate of humanity is given at the hands of totally random individuals with no military experience/background or even combat tendency; whom are ONLY equipped with mutation based animal based powers which they are not even trained how to use in combat. They are not given even the most basic combat or formation training, and they do NOT have even the most basic weapons, let alone any military vehicles. They are fighting against primitive cockroach/caveman hybrids on Mars. And that is the problematic part. Their primitive enemy uses tactics, formations, weapons (clubs and slingshots), yet highly advanced humans fight ONLY with bare fists, and whenever it is required to defend against enemy attacks they open up their arms and stand in front of each other to absorb the blow (and die).Most basic attribute of humanity is its use of tools and intelligence against threats, yet we see none in this series. Good for action, but extremely poor in quality story telling we have enjoyed at series like Attack on Titan.

I was extremely impressed with the anime. I've fully read the Manga and noticed very little to almost no changes in the anime. It is one of the few anime out there that follows 98% of the Manga to the letter. It's also delivered non-stop action in the uncensored version along with a spot on back story for everyone just like in the Manga. I highly recommend others to watch the anime and to read the Manga in hopes for more seasons to come. However I still have to state to only watch it uncensored due to extremely graphic content consistently happening in almost every episode. If you like GANTZ, or other violent/action sci- fi, this is the series for you.

Set in a future where mankind has terraformed Mars something has gone wrong; during the process cockroaches were introduced and they have mutated into giant humanoid monsters dubbed terraformars! These attacked those who went to Mars five hundred years later. Decades pass before people will return to the Red Planet; this time they will be multinational team given the task of eliminating the terraformars, which have been linked to a plague on Earth. In order to have a chance the team members have undergone genetic modification which gives then the abilities of other creatures. As each of the team has different animal abilities they each fight in a different way. We later learn that the terraformars have also genetically modified so they are even more dangerous than first feared.When I started watching this it was a little difficult to see what was going on much of the time as the version available was so heavily censored; thankfully things improved by episode three or four. The cast is fairly large and many got killed off before one could grow to care for them. With each member of the team and different terraformars having different skills it felt rather episodic with each one getting to show their ability each week; we even had a voice over explaining which creature's skills each had. The show has a rather muted colour palette and there are no cute moe characters which gives the entire series a distinctly gloomy feel. The end of the thirteenth episode suggests that there is more to come… although there have been plenty of better series that left things hanging as second series failed to materialise. Overall this was a bit disappointing; if you want to watch people killing space-bugs just watch 'Starship Troopers'! These comments were based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
