An anime adaptation of the sci-fi manga Terra Formars was announced via a poster in the 8th volume of the manga. This was displayed on Shueisha POP Haishin Corner, a virtual service which displays material from books and magazines. The manga will get both a TV anime and video anime adaptation.

The manga is written by Yu Sasuga with illustrations by Kenichi Tachibana.

The story is set in 2577, centuries after humanity attempted to terraform Mars with cockroaches, only for the human settlers to be wiped out by humanoid cockroaches when they land on Mars themselves.

Already saw this coming from miles ago. The manga's selling like hot cakes and there have been like few crossovers with some other series.

Next, can't wait to see some people accuse this manga as racist for featuring neanderthals-like creatures

It's somewhat similar I guess but with more sci fi themes. Well, I'm still curious what studios will produce it. Given the fact that there are over 60+ chapters translated, expect 2 cour if done right.

I bet there will be some censoring...so they better remove that in BD's.

Yes, an adaptation of an popular manga is not going to be relevant. Makes sense.

dude, the anime was just announced and you are already bringing the hate? well I guess it's this type of counter hype so early that really does bring the full-on hype later on (like SAO, SnK).

I mean, like hell I would ever comment in a thread of an anime announcement for a manga I don't like. and lol but apparently you want it to fail because you don't agree with people who say the original work is a masterpiece? way to go letting other people's opinions cloud your own judgement.

and it's pretty relevant already: volume 7 of the manga dropped from the top50 japanese weekly comic ranking with 475,310 volumes sold. and since it has been more than 2 months since then, we can safely assume it reached half a million copies. does it still seems irrelevant to you?

that being said, I never read the manga, but I have been looking forward to an anime adaptation for this. pretty hyped, lots of seemingly good upcoming anime adaptations!

Attack on Titan had a plot, this is more like the next Gantz. Lots of mindless and senseless killings without any real plot.

The premise looks really comical. Then again I did love stormship troopers. Not expecting much from this though, might be good for a few laughs.

Yeah I started reading this manga when a few people were talking about it on the SnK forum...but it's nothing like I imagined. After reading 41 chapters, I was still like, "eh." Them cockroaches though, and the gore. Well time to catch up on the manga again.

The plot summary sounds kinda weird to me, but I'll probably give it a try, when it will be out.
