Warner Bros. Japan is continuing its approach of putting out a good bit of actual spots for the fall 2014 anime series Terra Formars. We got three spots over the weekend and now they’ve landed a fourth one that focuses on the characters of Adolf and Eva, which certainly sets a few ideas in your mind as to what they’ll be like. The series is set to premiere on September 26th, 2014. All of this comes after a couple of waves of voice actor announcements that has helped to beef up the show as well as a look at the OVA series that’s being produced. The series, which Viz Media acquired the manga for back in October of 2013, is created by Yu Sasuga and Kenichi TAchibama. The anime adaptation was announced earlier this year which adapts the Annex 1 arc along with an OVA that will adapt the Bugs 2 arc that has gotten the green light. Originally starting publication back in 2011, it has nine volumes released so far.
The series stars Yoshimasa Hosoya as Akari Hizamaru, Hidenobu Kiuchi as Shōkichi Komachi, Shizuka Itou as Michelle, Kaito Ishikawa as Marcos, KENN as Alex, Ai Kayano as Sheila, Daisuke Ono as Keiji Onizuka, Chiaki Takahashi as Kanako Sanjō, Aki Toyosaki as Yaeko Yanasegawa, Tomokazu Sugita as Ichirō Hiruma, Koji Yusa as Adolf Reinhard, Akira Ishida as Joseph, Unshou Ishizuka as Sylvester, Tetsuo Komura as Liu Yiwu, Ayane Sakura as Eva Frost, Kenji Akabane as Ivan Perepelkina, Romi Park as Elena Perepelkina and Toshiyuki Morikawa as Shichisei Hiruma.
The anime adaptation is being produced at LIDEN FILMS with Hiroshi Hamasaki directing based on scripts by Shogo Ysukawa. Character designs are being done by Masanori Shino while Satoshi Kimura is doing secondary character design work.
Plot concept: With the space program attempting to travel to Mars, 21st century scientists were tasked with warming up the planet so that humans could survive on its surface. They came up with an efficient and cost effective plan of sending cockroaches and mold to the surface so that the mold would absorb the sunlight and the insect corpses would serve as a food source for the mold.
It is now the year 2577 and the first manned ship to Mars has landed on the planet and the six crew members are ready for their mission. But what they find are giant mutated humanoid cockroaches with incredible physical strength. The crew members are easily wiped out, but not before sending a transmission back to Earth. Now, humanity will send elite warriors to exterminate the mutated bugs and claim back Mars.
