Synopsis

Several months after a probe returning from Mars burns up during reentry, strange creatures dubbed "Ancients" begin to appear throughout Tokyo. Aggressive and dangerous, they cannot be killed with ordinary weapons. As scientists struggle to find the cause of their sudden appearance, the monsters wreak havoc across the world.

Humanity finds hope in the form of the MARS suit—a new weapon developed to take down these enemies. The suit, however, can only be worn by those with specific DNA. Enter Takeru Hinata, an ordinary teen with a troubled past and one of the few capable of piloting the only weapon against the Ancients. With the help of the AAST, a special police force established to defeat the dangerous creatures, the young man battles against demons both personal and global whilst trying to discover the true nature of Earth's new aggressors.

I am beyond speechless right now ngl. I was planning on doing a normal review of me just talking about this anime that I happened to watch yesterday because I was thinking and hearing about how it has a cult following because it’s that bad but as I was coming up with what to write for this review, I realized that there are some things out there that are really beyond description.

A fair warning to new anime watchers. You will be recommended to watch this.
Please do not. First it is a really heavy piece to start with, second you will not appreciate the amount of greatness this anime shows in art and sound. You should have a profund knowledge of the history and making of anime.

This is a psychological anime driving deep into the consequences on going to unfamiliar environments, and how its curses could spread into our society. The characters are struck by different personal issues showing affect during the show. It is not a mecha anime, please don't watch it for that.

For me this ...

After hearing about this absolute train wreck of an OVA my curiosity was peaked so it had to be checked out.

The story is an absolute mess and has the subtlety of a large neon light encrusted house brick being thrown at you, basically alien invasion humanity fighting them etc, there's a twist at the end that's so typical and cliche that it made me laugh out loud and ironically made me wanting more to see where else the absurdity of the plot could go to.

The character designs look kinda cool though for a mid 2000s OVA, the voice acting is really bad and ...
