Has anyone else watched this yet? Anime take on an alternate history version of Terminator. 8 episodes about 30 minutes each.

It was pretty good in my opinion, the second half of the season was where it shined. I'm interested in they'll keep it going, which I think they'll do if it gets the views.

 
I've watched half of the first episode and, for anime it seems alright.


@2:15

In the opening action sequence a T-800 with a minigun couldn't hit a woman while she's running away from it.

A T-800 with a minigun should only hit what it doesn't want to hit.

Anyway thats just my impressions and I'll keep posting in the thread as I watch because I consider the first two Terminator GOAT-tier films.
 
Nah, gotta check it out
 
Just finished the second episode, and...

Without going into specifics I'll summarize my praises with this line - By the end of the season, this will probably be the best Terminator-related content the franchise has had in 30 years.

That is a praise, but not high-praise, because it only has to contend against Terminator 3, Salvation, Genysis, Dark Fate, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Only complaints so far are these -
*The sub-plot with the daughter running away with the robot cat and the sons persuing her... definitely hasn't been worth its runtime within the show, but its only been the 2nd episode.
*Eiko, the female 'Kyle Reese' character, either has the Captain America super-soldier serum, or she's the typical action-anime character that can perform amazing physical feats.... because she's the action-anime character. This is one of those tropes in anime that is more of a clichè.
 
I Had to turn the subtitles to English but yea it was surprising good.
 
stumbled on this last night watched 2 eps very good.

Wood recommend.
 
Episode 3 impressions -

Without question the weakest of the three episodes so far.

Malcolm has to convince virtual representatives of Skynet to spare humanity's existence? The whole scene represents the fatalism of nihilism, which views personal existence as just the persuit of pleasure and nothing more.

This episode was mostly built around the Terminator hunting the kids and Eiko saving them by going 1v1 against it. While it is supposed to make her look strong it ends up making it took extremely weak.

If you ask any Terminator fan who are the two most intimidating Terminators of the franchise the answers will always be Arnold as the T-800 & Robert Patrick as the T-1000, everything in the four movies and one TV series after that haven't come close to replicating their levels of intimidation both in their performances and what's written for them in the script.

With this Terminator... he may actually be the absolute least intimadating one of the entire franchise.
I would have thought Japanese animators would have at least drawn an average-looking Terminator, but with the emo-haircut and later the business suit he just looks pathetic.
How in the hell could a cybernetic behemoth such as a Terminator lose a physical confrontation with a woman half its size, a fraction of its weight, and decimal points of its strength? It got in a fight with a character with plot-armor and Mary Sue characteristics.
 
Yeah, I certainly enjoyed it. It took a bit for me to wrap my head around watching anime Terminator. After awhile it wasn't an issue and I thoroughly enjoyed it. They got a couple good voice actors for the English dub with Timothy Olyphant and Rosario Dawson.
 
binge watched it on a hangover monday, wasn't bad.
but wasn't great either.
 
I've seen the first two episodes and im liking it so far.
 
Started it last night and had a hard time stopping. Loving it.
 
Oh yea I saw it in Japanese the other day. I got bored because I didn't want to read subtitles. Thanks. I didn't know it was dubbed as well.
 
Put it on my Netflix watch list. I'll watch the first episode tomorrow.
 
For someone that doesn't really watch anime, I thought it was good. Not sure if it's supposed to fit in to some kind of Terminator timeline or not, but feels like there is overlap w/ T1
 
Good not great best Terminator content since Sarah Connor chronicles.
 
Enjoying it so far, about to start episode 5.

No shot resistance lady is human
