Series premieres in April on Crunchyroll, viz.com

Media distribution service Crunchyroll announced on Wednesday that it will stream the Terraformars Revenge anime sequel series as it airs in Japan. Crunchyroll will premiere the anime on April 1, but has not yet revealed stream times.

The stream will be available in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe, Central/South America, and the Middle East.

Viz Media will also stream the series as it airs.

Crunchyroll describes the story:

2620 A.D. In order to find a vaccine for the virus from Mars with a death rate of 100% called the Alien Engine Virus, Hizamaru and the crew went to Mars to get a sample of one of the giant cockroach creatures, otherwise known as Terraformars. An unforeseen accident happens, and while Akari and the others fight the roaches to try to escape, humanity is fighting with each other behind closed doors. The ultimate story of survival with Mars as the background... Round 2 is about to start!

The first 13-episode television anime series adapting the Annex 1 arc of the manga premiered in September 2014, and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired. The companion original video anime (OVA) project adapted the Bugs 2 arc on discs bundled with the 10th and 11th manga volumes. The Annex 1 arc takes place 20 years after the Bugs 2 arc.

The sequel's staff will differ from the first season. Michio Fukuda (Hyakko, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan: Demon Capital) is taking over for Hiroshi Hamasaki as director at the studios Liden Films and TYO Animations.
