Review of Terra Formars

Fuck, man. I..., yeah. I am writing this segment in order to fill the space required of me to post this """"review"""". I was unreasonably well entertained by this show, so much so that i ended up wanting to read the manga. Even after spoiling the whole story for myself on the way, because i couldn't take it anymore. It's Cockroach Callisthenics, Attack on Titan, Mars of Destruction, the Power Rangers and my 7th grade OCs all in one. What more would a growing boy need?I could say, that Terra Formars has changed my life: even now, I'm listening to Amazing Break as I write this garbage.

The basic premise of Terra Formars is, that it's a collection of flashbacks of the many characters in it's story. This is sometimes interspliced with cockroachmen killing or being killed in surprisingly creative and horrifyingly satisfying ways. This is carried by the unironically great animation, music and sound design. At first, I laughed, but every time one of the fuckers shows up, I just want to cover my apartment in insect repellent more and more.

The offerings of the show are many: gore, suspense, revenge, hearwarming stuff, the sads, biology, history, really stupid anachronisms, philosophy, political intrigue, family, love, hate, netorare, cage fighting, boxing, baseball, bug eating, drugs, bugs on drugs, infiltration, religion, technology, the russians, anthopology or... katsaridology?

In short: it has everything and nothing. You could say Terra Formars is the meaning of life decrypted and summarised while simultaneously being the aimless hurry and pointless ponder that defines the human condition.

Overall it is probably the best japanese animated television series i've seen since the unfortunate end of plastic neesan. Highly recommended.
