comment
Mars Of Destruction is an anime OVA made by Idea Factory, animated by WaoWorld, and directed by the Ed Wood of anime, Yoshiteru Satou. The anime is an adaptation of the game with the same title, and it's also regarded by many as one of, if not the worst anime of all time. No, really, it is, look it up.The plot goes something like this: some time after a space mission to Mars ends in destruction, strange monsters called "Ancients" begin appearing around Tokyo. A group of specialists consisting of three girls and one troubled young boy must fight the Ancients until they can come to understand exactly what it is they are fighting.Unrelated to Sands of Destruction.

Bloodless Carnage: Zigzagged, one of the girls has her head blown off in a bloody mess from one of the aliens at the start of the film. However later on, when other aliens fire on some citizens, they just leave holes in their body without a drop of blood.

Takeru's unnamed father seems to be one for Gendo Ikari. They are both Mad Scientists who force their sons to pilot an experimental piece of military tech (a Giant Robot in Neon Genesis and a suit of Power Armor in Mars) to fight monsters. In addition, they are both Abusive Parents.

Death by Adaptation: In the game, one of the soldiers is never shown getting her head blown off, which would explain why it seems so hastily edited in.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Turns out one of the girls ended up taking this school, missing EVERY shot she sprayed at an enemy while charging them (With a rapid-fire weapon no less). Later on, she outright has to put her gun up to the invader's body in order to actually dish out damage.

Expy: There are few for characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Takeru is blatantly one for Shinji. Both of are young boys forced to fight monsters by their abusive Mad Scientist fathers despite their reluctance and end up psychologically scarred as a result. Takeru's unnamed father seems to be one for Gendo Ikari. They are both Mad Scientists who force their sons to pilot an experimental piece of military tech (a Giant Robot in Neon Genesis and a suit of Power Armor in Mars) to fight monsters. In addition, they are both Abusive Parents.
