If you do have problems with them, then, you must be new to the Anime community. My problem regarding Terra Formars have more to do with elements regarding the story that didn’t make sense to me than the fact that it’s racist, misogynistic or whatever label you want to give him. What I am trying to get at is that you wouldn’t call Guillermo del Toro schizophrenic-phobic because of Pan’s Labyrinth’s ending (although, in this day and age you never know). The truth is that we never know what is in an author’s heart. Whatever narrative Yu Sasuga is trying to sell may be unconscious… or it’s a conscious one and his work is a sardonic look into the minds of current Japanese society or it’s a commentary, hatred filled narrative because he believes in what he writes. We can go around condemning people, labeling them, always seeing under the surface, trying to make sense of the narrative they try to portray, but this says more about us than the author. It is purely by the author to expand the views on Terra Formars.Ī simple Google search will take you on a journey through pages upon pages, condemning Yu Sasuga, the original writer of being racist and misogynistic. This is also not a slander to political agendas. Before we continue, let me make one thing clear, that I think it’s important to understand and the reasons I will refrain my personal opinion regarding the “hidden” messages of this work.ĭisclaimer: The following opinion piece does not reflect the opinion of Otaku Netizen Reviews.
TERRAFORMERS RACIST MOVIE
We will talk briefly about the animation, then the movie as an adaptation and finally Terra Formars as a live action movie. You may not want to hear what I have to say, though. Terra Formars was written by Yu Sasuga and illustrated by Kenichi Tachibana and started its publication in 2011 I was not able to find much information about the writer or the illustration, although I was able to find a debate regarding Sasuga’s political view which we will discuss.
TERRAFORMERS RACIST SERIES
I wasn’t acquainted to the series or the movie.Īt the time of publication, in the West, we started to see a sudden spawn of Sci-fi movies leading the theaters, from the remake of the Planet of the Apes, to Attack on the Block, through another Transformer movie, to Cowboys and Aliens, The Thing, Apollo 18, The Darkest Hour, Paul… 2011 was a feast for people with the desire to see a dystopian future caused by an alien race… in the East, Terra Formars was released. So, this is the first time I have watched any of this material. For some reason, I never got to check it out for myself, due to lack of time, energy and focus. But awesome.You see, this is a series that was recommended to me a long time ago when it started to be published by Shueisha. Humanity went up to check out what was going on, and was met with these freaky roach people.
But dig this - they were the cockroaches that humans set in the year 2577 (that’s the future!) in order to colonize the planet, along with some mold. In case you’re not hip to the Terra Formars jive, it’s an anime series you should absolutely be watching, with humanoid cockroaches hanging out on Mars. And it’s from FuRyu, who’s responsible for several other titles based on anime series. The game, tentatively titled Terra Formars: Akaki Hoshi no Gekito (Fierce Battle on the Crimson Planet), will follow Shokichi and the rest of the humans as they exterminate the Terra Formars themselves on Mars. It’s like a can of Raid, but for your Nintendo handheld. According to the latest issue of Weekly Young Jump, a Terra Formars game is headed for 3DS, for lots of maximum roach-killing action.
