Synopsis

During the 21st century, humanity attempted to colonize Mars by sending two species which could endure the harsh environment of the planet to terraform it—algae and cockroaches. However, they did not anticipate the species' remarkable ability to adapt. Now in the 26th century, a lethal disease known as the Alien Engine Virus has arrived on Earth, and the cure is suspected to be found only on Mars. The problem is, Mars in the present is overrun by creatures known as "Terraformars," incredibly powerful and intelligent humanoid cockroaches that mutated from those originally sent to the planet.

The Annex I team, consisting of a hundred men and women genetically enhanced with characteristics of powerful organisms from earth, has been sent to Mars on a mission to find the cause of the Alien Engine Virus and to help cure humanity—signalling the start of the crew's fight for survival.

t's really hard for me to find an anime that interests me. I usually watch 1 or 2 episodes daily, but this time it was different. I watched Terra Formars in one day and I really enjoyed it.

The plot is simple, but the show is still really interesting. I think it is just satisfying to watch these violent scenes of murdering croaches. I didn't pay attention to bad storytelling, worldbuilding, or character designs (which I don't think are all that bad). Things like art, sound, or story are average, but enjoyment is still outstanding. I feel like this anime is totally underrated. I recommend it ...

Well, this has been on my list for a very long time. I have also not watched any anime consistently for about a year now and I AM BACK BABY! So, I wanted to start with something that been lingering in my ever expanding list for a while. Enter, Terra Formars.

I'll start with probably the worst part about it, the music. It's bland. Very bland. Ideally in any form of story telling medium with music, it must be used to service and expand the experience of the visuals. Here in Terra Formars, it's just there, like a crap conservatory, it's there, but, makes your house ...

The plot shows promise, drawing one in with its intrigue, but unfortunately, many elements fall flat. The only driving force seems to be the question of "how did this happen?" There is definitely some dark politics at play behind the scenes, and the concept of futuristic gene modifications adds an intriguing layer.

However, the fight animations lack fluidity, appearing rather stiff, and character development is almost non-existent. This makes it hard to form attachments or feel the impact of their demise.

Overall, it's decent, but it lacks that spark of greatness. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it to others. A waste of time, in my opinion.
