The TV series will adapt the first arc of the manga on September 26th on Japanese channels. The OVAs that are being released adapt the second arc of the 10th and 11th volumes of the manga, where the first arc takes place 20 years later.
Hiroshi Hamasaki (Steins; Gate) is directing Terra Formars at Liden Studio. Shogo Yasukawa (Hyperdimension Neptunia) is handling the series composition, Masanori Shino (Black Lagoon) is handling the main character designs.
The story of Terra Formars revolves around a space project attempting to travel to Mars. 21st-century scientists were tasked with warming the planet so humans could live on its surface. They came up with an efficient plan: sending cockroaches and covering the surface with mold, so the mold could absorb sunlight, and the insect carcasses would serve as fertilizer for the mold.
Now, in the year 2577, the first manned spacecraft has landed on the planet, and the six crew members are ready for their mission. But what they encounter there are mutant humanoid cockroaches with incredible physical strength. The crew members are easily killed, but not before they send a transmission to Earth. Now, humanity will send elite soldiers to exterminate the mutant insects and reclaim Mars.
