With Earth becoming increasingly overpopulated, an ambitious plan has been put into place to terraform Mars using mold and cockroaches. Nearly 500 years after the plan, a mission to Mars, Annex 1, is under way to accomplish crucial research into the Virus currently plaguing mankind with the crew members who've been injected with various DNA of life on Earth in order to combat the Terraformars, giant humanoid cockroaches.

Season 1 (2014) (S01)
I am not too fond of insects, so practically any venture that focuses on eradicating this species has my full support. Unfortunately, I think this show handles the subject rather amateurishly, and the bugs in this show are more like something that reminds me of Mr. Hankey who spent a few years in the gym. In general, the animation is rather bad, and I did not find it very easy to watch. If the narrative and its rather strange logic and most of the main male protagonists are no good either, then it simply does not stand a chance of getting an average rating. If you only factor in the crazy censored version, we will get something somewhere on the border of BOO! and one star. Fortunately, this problem was soon corrected/resolved by the anime’s creators with the release of the uncensored version, and I could at least raise my rating a little bit because at least it has some good action scenes, gore, and violence. Yet, it has no other potential for me, so I dropped it after five episodes. 3/10.
