Synopsis

While reporting on a recently formed volcanic island, journalist Iwakura finds a stranded young man with no memories. News of the incident catches the attention of a mysterious person called Rush, who tracks down the amnesiac and explains to him the truth about his identity. The young man is named Mars and, like Rush, he is not originally from Earth. Mars was dispatched with one mission: to command a tremendously powerful robot named Gaia to destroy Earth when it becomes clear that humans are attempting to extend their influence into outer space. As a precaution, Gaia is programmed to self-destruct, taking the planet along with it, in the event that Mars dies.

In light of Mars' amnesia, Rush agrees to give him 10 days to study Earth's history and decide his course of action. Mars must now choose whether to follow through with his duty or fight to save humanity.

Mixed Feelings
New Century Legend Mars! Mars, the Legend of a New Century! The Legendary Mars in the New Century! Despite the awe-inspiring title, for years I've heard nothing but bad things about this 2002 show, ranging from "horrible animation" to "bad adaptation" and everything in-between. After finding the motivation recently, I finally sat down and watched this, and to spice things up, I did it while reading the manga side-by-side.

First, some background; the original five-volume manga was released in 1976 by Mitsuteru Yokoama - more on him in a bit - and it might surprise you to learn that this is actually the THIRD Mars ...
