![]() 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. Worth a watch.I'm an avid follower of the Terra Formars series and I was very hyped to hear the manga was getting an anime adaption. There's plenty of violence, but the censoring takes care of that. Without revealing spoilers, the ending only makes sense if a second season is planned. A few more episodes and a better resolution and it could have been a great show. ![]() While the storyline is interesting, there isn't enough depth into it. That's the general premise of the show, and I thought it was interesting. The humans need to bring back some cockroaches to aid in developing a vaccine for some disease that's killing people on earth. They have to battle giant, mutated, humanoid, super intelligent cockroaches (yes, really), who kill humans with the same indifference we have to killing cockroaches. There's an ensemble of characters from different parts of the world, who have banded together to fly to Mars and colonise the planet. ![]() Interestingly, there's no real central character, as in most animes. I don't know who censors these shows, but it gets so bad it's almost unwatchable. ![]()
