Unlike other nonsensical series like Elfen Lied, Terra Formars became more of a chore to watch. I'm a completionist, the only reason I even finished this nonsense was because of the short run time. Just a fodder fest of people we don't give a fuck about. Not only giving you no time to even care about them, but it also broke immersion when death is treated with no tension. It seems like characters were only introduced to be killed by the next episode. Especially if we don't even remember them by the time the 20min run time is up. Throwing in a depressing backstory doesn't qualify as proper characterization. They mostly follow the lines of common fodder or OP roach killer. There's more depth in your run of the mill shounen protagonist than any of these "characters". They didn't even manage to make them 2 dimensional. I'm not even sure this cast can even be considered "characters". Of course, it will all be forgotten almost as soon as you're finished with the series. Each character's voice actor matched their given traits, standouts being Michelle K. They simply serve to follow the scenes, but does nothing to heighten them. Nothing worth listening to on its own and nothing that really grabs your attention. The same tracks were played continuously, showing no variation at all. The only noteworthy mention should be about the grim backgrounds of the Mars environment. It feels like no effort or love was placed into this series. The character designs, also deserve special mention for looking rather stiff. And to top it all off, it's simply the same design copied and pasted. You'd think by now that CGI will be used in better effect in complimenting a show, right? Well, Terra Formars spits on the face of innovation, giving us hoards of horrid CGI cockroaches that rival that of Gonzo's track record. This co-dependence on the source material to make a cohesive story is just lazy. The show treats the material as more of a glorified add to read the manga than a stand alone work. like slowly going up the rails of a roller coaster and getting ready for the ride but the ride never happens. Plot points that go nowhere and simply end abruptly. Story? What story? Government conspiracies, the mission of Bug II and anything else the show brought up remains unresolved. Some notable cases include Elfen Lied, Gantz, Mirai Nikki, Deadman Wonderland and now the next anime to carry the torch Terra Formars, has stepped up for the challenge. These shows tend to focus heavily on shock factor deaths as a one trick pony, which in turn removes any integrity it may have. An unforeseen accident happens, and while Akari and the others fight the roaches to try to escape, humanity is fighting with each other behind closed doors.Every now and then there's an anime that's released that walks the delicate line of being called absolute garbage and absolute FUCKING garbage. In order to find a vaccine for the virus from Mars with a death rate of 100% called the Alien Engine Virus, Hizamaru and the crew went to Mars to get a sample of one of the giant cockroach creatures, otherwise known as Terraformars.
