This was a difficult, but good episode to watch. At least, it seems to like doing that to its characters. It’s like being kicked while you’re gasping for air Terra Formars likes to rub your face in the dirt as you’re being kicked and struggling. A cheating wife, a child that’s not his and it’s such a downer story. He’s the most broken character introduced in Terra Formars, and it’s really hard to hate him after seeing what’s brought him to this level. He’s very determined, and as we learn from his backstory, he’s willing to make this a suicide mission, as nothing on Earth is going to be welcoming him back. He’s completely focused on his mission, and as dedicated as he is, he seems as though, no matter what, he intends to do it as precisely as he can. Perhaps Yū Sasuga was inspired from Monster for Terra Formars’ Adolf, but the resemblance to several of the characters in it is rather uncanny. Naoki Urasawa’s Monster from 2004 is perhaps where I’m drawing a lot of these criticisms from (and I absolutely recommend that series, seriously) but their German representation there was the same as Adolf’s. What I mean by that is, the German people are represented in media like this as somber, resentful, and seemingly apathetic and dreary. German officer Adolf takes center stage this week, and we’re shown how he’s ended where he is in regards to the Mars expedition, and it’s an almost “German” story we’ve seen a thousand times before. Terra Formars tries its hand once again to provide us with some backstory, and while it’s compelling, it takes us away too much from what we’ve come to expect from the series thus far. This show is by no means worthy of the attention the first series garnered and is deserving of, save your time and watch something better, like Parasyte! Kamui is the only mildly interesting segment of the show, and it’s scary to even anticipate how they will screw his character up. Psycho Pass has been an absolute mess this season, and this is simply a taste of all of the bad, stupid, and ludicrous things wrong with what has become of what was a great series. I understand they were hacked and that you also felt the need to display to the civilians all of the bloody, catastrophic damage that they were causing (that’s sarcasm by the way) but not having a failsafe for your drones, that’s utterly ridiculous and hard to swallow. Also, as technologically advanced as this city is to have the ability to see any and all civilians “hue” and read their danger readings, how in the hell do you not have a true counteraction to your drones going AWOL? It’s utterly absurd to think a department can be run this poorly. Even after a huge explosion in an ammunition warehouse takes out a bevy of drones, they still insist on running about, rarely conversing. Every single Enforcer has a communicator, yet no pertinent information about the drones weaknesses are shared, not until it’s seemingly required. I didn’t think Gen Urobichi’s absence would be so substantial, but I desperately need him back, and need his writing to bring this show out of the stinker.Ĭontinuing where we left off, the drones are still in the hands of the public, innocently gunning down any and all that around, with the MWPSB being nothing more than cannon fodder for most of the episode, Akane scrambles to solve the issues, but not before cementing the fact that this show is so poorly written, you’d wonder how it even got to air. I’ve been hard on Psycho-Pass’ second season (and don’t worry, I still will be for the time being), but mainly because I’ve held the previous series to such a high standard to see it fall so far, so fast, it’s embarrassing.
