Within just a short period of 48 hours, this anime series has skyrocketted to being my most favourite anime out of 100+ series I've watched! It has redefined the definition of anime "masterpiece", and I too am saddened that this anime has received so little attention when it fully deserves a place in one of the top animes in history. Jomy is incredible. I haven't fallen in love with an anime character for such a long time. The change in him is absolutely fabulous to watch, from a typical teenaged whiny boy into the most charismatic anime character I've ever seen. Jomy was stunning, the ending was incredible. Needless to say, I loved Jomy. I loved Terra e. And I don't think I'll ever stop loving it. This anime needs a LOT more love. I am speechless at what a masterpiece this anime is!

Needless to say, I loved Jomy. I loved Terra e. And I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving it. This anime needs a LOT more love. I am speechless at what a masterpiece this anime is!

I've never even heard of this series before until recently because it was overshadowed by the anime that also came out that year, namely Code Geass and Gundam 00, which are both shonen meca with bishounens in it LOL. But I'm SO FRIGGIN GLAD I watched Terra e, and I'm currently still embracing the brilliance of it. I love the characters, the plot, the art, everything! Though, I wanted Shiroe to stay alive. I love his character, and I thought Jomy would save him. Oh but where is Jomy when we need him? Not far, only several hundreds of light years away. As someone else had said up there, I was really surprised by Keith's development, I thought he would question the mother system and destroy it or something blahblahblah. I never expected him to shot Shiroe (I kept praying that Shiroe survived), and killed (indirectly) SO MANY PEOPLE, and they are all my favorite character to top it with. D: Blah, I'm talking too much. Spread the love of Terra~! I can’t begin to tell you how much I love terra e.

And it actually happened because, contrary to the events of the anime TV series and movie, he was held back from going to help the Mu on Nazca by the elders, yet he could still feel and see their deaths, and the shock of witnessing that horror is what caused the loss of those senses. Really, the only major change is that Jomy communicates only through telepathy from that point on. Once or twice he is seen stumbling, as well. And this has nothing to do with his death, actually. Jomy dies, in all versions, at the very end, but losing his senses happened as they were leaving Nazca. Kikoyo, the children loving Jomy more than their own fathers is explained by something Karina told Tony, in part: because Jomy gave his blessing to all of the couples on Nazca who had children, in other words that he's the "father" of all the couples, that's why Tony calls him "grandpa". The other children also know that they wouldn't have been born if it wasn't for Jomy. One another slight difference in the manga: there are 9 children born on Nazca, not 7. One child is mentioned who is not born on Nazca, and Tony immediately exclaims that the child is not like him and the others born on Nazca.

The show is so much different than I expected. They are so many surprises that I never thought they would actually do.. I never did read the manga but I know that there are a lot of changes in it. To me, this anime is so dramatic, emotional, action and touching story..the most touching and unexpected part for me is when almost every single character died.. including the main character and all my fav character...I never watch any anime which every main character died.. Another thing, I think I prefer Jomi died rather than loses all his senses.. Usually, when a main character died you never seem to be satisfied with it. Well, I was..I never did want anyone to die..If it had to, than one or two would do.. Overall, It was nice...

It's true the style reminded me a lot to the 80s, but modernized, and i have to say that i really liekd it^^, and the charas wow. I have to say shiroe is my fav(;_;) and keith KEITH, the perfect soldier, but not yet a machine, you can see he is really troubled inside by all his choices.
