I love Japan and as always Japans reputation for excellence in manufacturing and craftsmanship and the best animation-making country can be attributed to several interrelated factors: Cultural Emphasis on Quality: Japanese culture values precision, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence. This is evident in traditional crafts as well as modern manufacturing. I must say, I’m very impressed with Terminator zero Japanese production. There’s only one issue that is bothering me about your production Mattson Tomlin and you fuck this thing up big time, for your information cause I don’t think you are aware of this, but when it comes to Terminator universe the durability of the T-800s Terminator varies across different timelines but one undeniable fact is that the construction of the T-800 series has been waaaayyy accelerated by Skynet in the current or even alternated timelines, helping 800 series to stand out against more advanced weapons, like plasma, rifles, as the war against the humans raged on. Skynet either developing and/or adopting Phased Plasma Rifles, it ended up being a blessing and a curse for both sides in the Future War, but ended up benefiting the Resistance in the end the brief Future War scene in Terminator 2: Judgment Day we see that both the Resistance and Skynet are using Phased Plasma rifles, with T-800s being able to be taken out with "relative" ease. To combat this Skynet made even more-advanced endoskeleton more durable, by utilizing Coltan in the construction of 800 series, making them far more heat resistant. While it’s still called a Hyperalloy but now is more enhanced, by containing half a percentage of coltan, which became one of the components of Hyperalloy. Colton allowed to have much higher melting points, making it a superior alloy for the advanced terminator series. Now regarding that scene when T-800 is fighting off hundreds of INNO robots, holding on for so long as possible then all of a sudden getting torn apart little by little till nothing of T-800 remains and I got to say it’s bullshit, you fucked it up. How the fuck could you do that to the T-800!?.. So the only way those bots could have deactivated the T-800 would've been to use their power in numbers to hold it down and just remove its chip. I seriously doubt, and there’s no way that these cheap looking inferior INNO fucking robots would have the power to tear through reinforced Hyperalloy. You made the T-800 extremely weak in this anime even a human female was able to best it in CQC.
