Lol, Cockroach girl, since it's Rie I'm gonna try it <3

Japan is probably the only place in the world where roaches can be moe. And get anime adaptations. And get freaking Rie Kugimiya and Mamiko Noto to voice roaches.

I just imagined Shana and Enma Ai as cockroaches. Oh God.

Took them long enough. =/
Cast is half-good too!
Mamiko Noto is the best choice ever.

Producer 1: “We need a new moe anime.”
Producer 2: “How about Cockroaches?”
Producer 1: ”What?!”
Producer 2: “They are voiced by Noto and Kugimiya.”
Producer 1: “...that might work...”

Moe cockroaches? Who knows what this is going to turn out like, probably bad. Having said that, the moe charcoal anime was actually pretty good, so who knows?

O wow that was fast, the mangaka only made like 2 chapters of the manga. I guess after how well squid girl did they need some thing in-between until squid girl season 2 is ready.

Wasn't this the manga that was co-produced between Japan and the US to show kids in Japan how the US will take care of all their problems or something? Like, the freaked out girl is Japan, the boy is America and the boy squashes the cockroach which is supposed to be an enemy.

I could be wrong...

Loli cockroaches, I'm not sure I want that (I'm not that desperate for loli) but Rie is voicing one of them so it could be at least ok and worth a chance.

The title is an absolute turn off though.

the manga is pretty likable . the anime could be a good kid's show, what with animal mc thing happening and kids being able to relate to small animals for some reason.
though..god knows they're probably gonna chuck in some fan service and all that crap for the sake of sex sells and horny manchildren . argh.

To understand "moe"fication of cockroach...

There is a Japanese nursery rhyme, Tenohira wo Taiyou ni (The sun through my palms)
Lyrics Tenohira Wo Taiyou Ni

This song says...
Even the worms, even the crickets
Even the water striders
We’re all, all alive
We’re all friends

Even the dragonflies, even the frogs
Even the honeybees
We’re all, all alive
We’re all friends

Now, new one, cockroach have been added.

But... there already is a season two.

Cosmic horrors? Okay.
