LatestThe No. 1 and No. 2 divisions have walked into a trap set by the Chinese team. They manage to neutralize the Chinese' superior weaponry, but they still have a few tricks up their sleeve, and their transforming power is greater than it may appear!
Twenty years ago, Shokichi Komachi was part of the Bugs 2 mission to Mars that discovered Terra Formars, human-cockroach hybrids that resulted from a terraforming accident. Shokichi was one of only two survivors. Now, the AE virus that came from Mars is raging wildly on earth. Shokichi boards the spacecraft Annex 1 to go back to Mars to find a sample in order to create a vaccine. They will face an unanticipated accident, a multinational conspiracy, and even more advanced Terra Formars.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga author Yu Sasuga is a massive entomology nerd—every Terra Formar design is based on actual cockroach biology pushed to absurd extremes.
This anime bombed so hard it killed studio LIDENFILMS' ambitions for a third season, becoming a cautionary tale about adaptation pacing.
