Plots(1)
In the late 26th century, overpopulation on Earth is reaching breaking point and humanity must find new frontiers. The terraforming of Mars has taken centuries but is now complete. The colonization of Mars by humanity is an epoch-making event, but an unintended side effect of the terraforming process unleashes a horror no one could ever have imagined. After humanity's first manned mission to the Red Planet was lost, a second expedition arrives. The explorers prepare to exterminate the cockroaches that were used to transform the Martian environment. They are shocked to discover that the insects have mutated into giant, aggressive humanoids with one overriding goal to exterminate the humans! But this crew of explorers has each undergone the Bugs Procedure, terrifying experimental surgery designed to make them more than human. (Manga Home Entertainment)

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.
