Terra Formars is a talked-about TV anime that will begin broadcasting this fall. This anime adaptation is based on a manga of the same name by Yū Sasuga and Kenichi Tachibana that is currently serialized in Weekly Young Jump (Shueisha).
After cockroaches are sent to Mars to terraform it they evolve strangely and humanity finds itself in a life and death battle against this new enemy called “Terraformars.” The series is filled with impressive highlights including its large scale, the action, and the story.
Included in Vols. 10-11 of the manga to release Aug. 20 will be the OVA “Bugs 2 Arc” and the soon to be TV series “Annex 1 Arc,” respectively. Continuing from the previously announced cast of “Bugs 2 Arc,” the cast of “Annex 1 Arc” has now been announced as well.
Many popular and talented seiyū from “Bugs 2 Arc” are returning, which is enough to feel an anticipation for the anime. The first point to mention is Akari Hizamaru, the main character of the “Annex 1 Arc.” Akari will be played by the well known Yoshimasa Hosoya whose past roles include Shichika Yasuri from Katanagatari and Sentarō Kawabuchi from Kids on the Slope.
Other cast members include Shizuka Ito, Kaito Ishikawa, KENN, Ai Kayano, Daisuke Ono, Chiaki Takahashi, Aki Toyosaki, and Haruka Tomatsu. Continuing from “Bugs 2 Arc” are Hidenobu Kiuchi as Shokichi Komachi and Tomokazu Sugita as Ichiro Hiruma.
“Annex 1 Arc” takes place 20 years after the Bugs 2 tragedy. On Earth, the unknown A.E. Virus that came from Mars is becoming stronger. To make a vaccine for the virus, a sample must be acquired on Mars. The survivor of the Bugs 2 expedition, Shokichi Komachi, boards the large spaceship Annex 1 and heads back to Mars once again. On Mars live the Terraformars who have evolved even more than last time. An accident also occurs that involves every nation on Earth. An unmissable story will unfold.
Yoshimasa Hosoya will also be on the web radio show Radio Terraformars - Bugs 2 Voyage Record which will start on July 19 and broadcast every Saturday on HiBiKi Radio Station and the Internet radio station, Onsen.
