Also, the really cool organic-looking transformations now have glowing parts and sound effects that make it feel like a superpower. Even kids show knows what they’re doing and uses those tropes in an entertaining way. I was mentally screaming at the screen that I’M NOT WATCHING A KIDS SHOW. Color saturation went WAY up, they totally lost the visual atmospheres, the tech and uniforms look cheap as fuck, the humor is now totally reliant on anime tropes so the maturity of the show is tossed in the trash with cartoony reactions. They pretty much took EVERYTHING that I said was good about season one and said FUCK THAT SHIT. This is Terra Formars REVENGE is black & white 2. I’m not a gen1 cultist in Pokemon even though I’ve been playing it every generation (other than gen3) I am a big gen5 fan but god black & white 2 was disappointment, the game. I wasn’t impressed with ONE PUNCH MAN season two, but MOB PSYCHO 100 took everything they did right the first season and made it even better. Sequels are hard to live up to the hype and I understand that. I know I’m comparing it with the previous season, which is not really fair sometimes. Terra Formars REVENGE is an absolute Shounen TRASH, and not in the good way. The OP is a BANGER, even they did narration of the animals right, much love. If you haven’t watched this anime, I fully recommend giving it a watch. The character backstories pull you at your heartstrings, the low-saturation color pallet reminds me of western movies, the pacing, the mystery, the absolutely grotesque but admirably overpowered evolved cockroaches, everything about it is FANTASTIC. I’m lumping the two episodes of the prologue OVAs in season one because the aesthetic and quality are on par.

It’s gritty, it’s violent, and as a bug enthusiast, the whole concept of “what if these insect powers were scaled to human ratio, pump steroids, and become this badass human/bug hybrid” is insanely good.

I have to say SEASON ONE is one of my favorite Seinen genre anime.

It’s been 3-4 years since I first watched Terra Formars and I was reminded of this series through an ad so I revisited season one and it was A BLAST. It’s a bad habit I’m trying to break out of, but I get to re-watch some favorite shows in the background. Order to combat my weird anxiety attacks, unless I’m working on something that needs my full attention like thumbnailing and writing, I tend to half-watch-listen to movies, youtube videos and anime in a mini window while I’m doing grinding work.
