I recommend you read the manga and watch the OVA episode 1 of Terra Formars before even thinking of dropping it. If you can overlook the censoring for now, the series will definitely be enjoyable. The adaption so far hasn't been promising, I'm disappointed in the amount of censorship and the animation in general. If you're a side character you die, that's pretty much their job in the show. The manga had a whole chapter showing their past and why they ended up taking the surgery. The anime doesn't show us how Alex, Marcos and Sheila ended up at U-NASA. The anime adaption doesn't build all the characters properly, they feel distant compared to the manga where all the main and supporting characters had proper flashbacks and build up. The soundtrack gives an eerie feeling to the show and creates a very spooky atmosphere, they did good on the soundtracks at least. The ending theme, "Lightning" was a surprisingly good choice for the ending theme of the series, it wasn't a letdown. The opening theme, "AMAZING BREAK" is a fitting theme for the series and the theme animation is great especially the part featuring Alex Stewart and Marcos Garcia. did this, it'd been a whole other story.īoth opening and ending theme are performed by TERRASPEX. Liden Fails did a bad job on this, if Madhouse e.g. Some faces are animated really derpy, as you can observe in the 'Characters' section of Terra Formars. Only reaction you'll have is: "WTF, why?!". Overall the action scenes are pretty much unwatchable. Just wait for a Blu-ray release and hope that they uncensor this. As some of you have probably heard, the series have an atrocious cringeworthy clusterfuck of censoring. First of all, the animation itself is pretty generic, nothing to praise about, it's quite a lackluster to be honest. This is their first anime work that has alot of brutal deaths, and it shows. The animation is done by a relatively no-named studio named Liden Films. While the idea of giant humanoid cockroaches might be ridiculous, the series are very enjoyable nontheless and the fighting scenes would really deliver, if it wasn't for the crippling censoring. This is what makes the series so interesting. No one is safe, anyone can die in a few seconds. Terra Formars can be compared to Shingeki no Kyojin in terms of atmosphere. Let's not get over our heads though, there's series where this is possible, in Terra Formars. It goes without saying, an insect wouldn't be able to survive in a climate that cold, a cockroach is no different. The idea itself is interesting, as ridiculous as it might sound to send some mold and some roaches on a planet where the normal temperature is -60☌ and in the winter up to -125☌. There's no way of cultivating the virus on Earth, thus they need to get samples from the source of the virus, Mars. Sources indicate that the virus is of maritan origin. The reason U-NASA has decided to send another manned ship to Mars is because Earth is plagued by a virus that has a 100% mortality rate, the Alien Engine Virus. The captain is Komachi Shokichi, one of the BUGS2 survivors. This time with a crew of 100 physically modified humans, all who have undergone the Bugs Procedure. U-NASA plans on sending a third manned ship to Mars, ANNEX1. The anime adaption starts 2619 A.D., 20 years after the failure of BUGS2. In the end only 2 of the crew of 15 survived to tell the tale. The crew contested the cockroaches but were way outnumbered. The BUGS2 was an utter failure aswell with the crew being almost annihilated soon after touchdown. This allowed the person to undergo a mutation that gave the user higher physical endurance, speed and strength, along with unique insect abilities, depending on what insect they used as base for the surgery. The crew of BUGS2 were all physically modified with a surgery called the Bugs Procedure. In 2599 A.D., 22 years after the demise of BUGS1, U-NASA sent another manned ship to Mars, BUGS2, to exterminate the cockroach threat. Before their demise they were able to send a transmission to earth briefing their situation. But shortly after arrival the 6 crew members are brutally slaughtered by giant mutated humanoid cockroaches. The mission was simple, capture 10 living cockroach specimen, both female and male and return to earth. The plan was to send cockroaches and mold to the surface of Mars so that the mold would absorb the sunlight and the insect corpses would serve as a food source for the mold. The plan itself would take five centuries to come into fruition.įinally in the year of 2577 A.D., U-NASA sent the first manned ship, BUGS1 to Mars. In the 21st century scientists came up with a plan that would allow humanity to inhabit Mars. Here is my indepth review of the anime adaption based on 3 episodes released so far. I'm an avid follower of the Terra Formars series and I was very hyped to hear the manga was getting an anime adaption.
