Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In a distant future, humankind has destroyed the natural habitat of its homeplanet Terra and colonized other stars. Humanity is controlled by supercomputers, and children are born in test tubes and then handed to suitable foster parents. All children go through a psychological maturity check at the age of 14, where their unnecessary childhood memories are erased. The children, now blank slates for propaganda and brainwashing, are taken to space stations for further education.However, a new race of psychic humans have emerged from the maturity checks; they are called the Mu and and are considered a threat to the strictly controlled society. The Mu stay hidden, trying to rescue as many Mu children as they can, while they long to return to the fabled homeplanet Terra. The Mu have physical defects and are weak compared to normal humans, to balance out their extraordinary superpowers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Toward the Terra, also known as Terra e... or To Terra..., was created by mangaka Keiko Takemiya, and was originally serialized in Gekkan Manga Shonen from 1977 to 1980. It was first adapted for animation as a 1980 film. In 2007 the manga was adapted again, this time as a 24-episode anime series. Thus far, the tropes listed on this article mostly concern the anime version, as the manga, anime and movie all have large differences in plot details and characterisation.Toward the Terra is a Space Opera of epic proportions, covering approximately five decades worth of events. It's an old school sci-fi series with complex Character Development, starting slow but gradually building its story to an extremely emotional ride through the galaxy.Now has a character sheet. |

Anyone Can Die: First example is Shiroe in episode 9. The rampant character killing spree continues throughout the series; only a few significant named characters make it all the way to the ending. |

| Toward the Terra (Manga) / int_21f3aa44 |
comment |
Good Is Not Nice: Glaive Murdock is portrayed as a generally jealous and arrogant jerk, yet when push comes to shove he's one of the most consistently moral characters in a series full of Grey-and-Gray Morality - he pretends he didn't receive the command to hunt the survivors of Nazca, refuses to Colony Drop a colony full of Mu hostages despite a standing order to do so when attacked, and performs a Heroic Sacrifice to take out the last Megiddo before it can destroy Terra. |

More than Mind Control |
| Toward the Terra (Manga) / int_28e90e30 |
comment |
More Than Mind Control: It's what Mother Eliza does to younger Keith in the anime. She uses some sort of hypnosis on him, but a lot of her control relies on orchestrating/influencing the key events in Keith's life, playing a caring mother-figure and talking him into following her orders without question. |

Parental Abandonment |
| Toward the Terra (Manga) / int_297ab1b9 |
comment |
Parental Abandonment: The SD system has done away with most of the significance of "family," completely doing away with natural reproduction in favor of government-controlled laboratory conception of children who are placed with designated parents. Once they're fourteen, most of their memories of their childhood are erased during the maturity check and they don't see their parents again (Jomy's are shown to have even moved out of the house he was raised in). On the Mu side, most of their number escaped from government labs or were rescued from the system after their powers emerged. It's not until Nazca that they start a natural-born second generation raised by loving parents, and even the Nazca kids don't get much of a childhood thanks to the destruction of the planet and the psychic acceleration of their aging. |

Limited Wardrobe: Played straight with the Mu in the anime, but the human characters go through a variety of outfits, usually as they age and/or gain higher military ranks. The manga pretty much averts this trope, however. |

Jomy giving Tony the go-ahead to kill surrendering human soldiers and being willing to let Keith drop the aforementioned space station also count. |

Bittersweet Ending |
| Toward the Terra (Manga) / int_40cc0c7e |
comment |
Bittersweet Ending: They did manage to make peace between the Humans and the Mu, destroy the SD system and generally make the world a better(?) place, and Jomy and Keith met each other after being reincarnated in the Distant Finale. However, most of the cast die to get there, and the children of Nazca leave Terra to avoid becoming humanity's new enemy. The manga, isn't much better, Terra is destroyed by Gaia's Vengeance, Physis is last seen surrounded by escapees in what may or may not be their final moments, Tony is utterly broken by the trauma of everything, the other surviving Nazca children have become Energy Beings and simply take him to where he can't see Terra. The Distant Finale shows some of the humans who left Terra for colonies far away deciding to pay a visit to abandoned Terra. Two kids met each other, implied to be the reincarnations of Physis and Blue. |

No Hugging, No Kissing: Even if there is plenty of Ho Yay, the situation is far too Serious Business for any romance between the main characters except for Tony in the manga, who gets together with Artella, although she ends up dying soon afterwards. However, this isn't the case in the 1980 movie, where Jomy is Tony's dad. |

Adaptation Distillation |
| Toward the Terra (Manga) / int_5a40d6a |
comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The anime managed to update the series for a modern audience while still remaining true to the spirit of the original. The movie similarly retained many of the major thematic elements and characters of the manga while simultaneously streamlining and rearranging the story to fit a two-hour run time. |

| Toward the Terra (Manga) / int_7831b670 |
comment |
The manga, isn't much better, Terra is destroyed by Gaia's Vengeance, Physis is last seen surrounded by escapees in what may or may not be their final moments, Tony is utterly broken by the trauma of everything, the other surviving Nazca children have become Energy Beings and simply take him to where he can't see Terra. The Distant Finale shows some of the humans who left Terra for colonies far away deciding to pay a visit to abandoned Terra. Two kids met each other, implied to be the reincarnations of Physis and Blue. |

Spell My Name with an S |
| Toward the Terra (Manga) / int_89a17726 |
comment |
Spell My Name with an "S": Naska/Nazca deserves a mention, but the most notable example is probably the official subtitles' use of "Makka" for Matsuka. This is carryover from the official translation of the manga, which was done without a pronunciation guide and confused the "tsu" character with the small "tsu" which duplicates the next consonant sound, the difference between Makka (マッカ) and Matsuka (マツカ). |

Physical God: Type Blue Mu subvert this. They can singlehandly destroy starships, affect people on great distance, create living organism from organic matter via telekinesis (in manga at least) and generally are far more powerful than other Mu. But they may even die after using too much of this power, because their bodies are very fragile. In bad circumstances even normal weapons present a threat. |

Nuclear Weapons Taboo |
| Toward the Terra (Manga) / int_cdaa029f |
comment |
Nuclear Weapons Taboo: The Megiddo Averted in the manga, where the weapons used are actually described as being nuclear. The Megiddo was invented for the anime. Even in the anime there is still a very (very) brief mention of arming all weapons, "even nuclear ones" early on in the series. But it's not at all important to the plot, and is easy to miss — curiously, the casual use of nuclear weapons is given no attention at all, probably because it's in space. |

Morality Pet: Keith has two: Matsuka and Sam. His loyal friendship with Sam while they are both students provides a humanizing influence while Keith is young, and when Sam is mentally broken by the Mu it's the start of Keith's ruthless crusade against them. Matsuka, meanwhile, keeps Keith from becoming completely emotionally isolated during the last stages of the story, and his death saving Keith from Tony has a profound effect on Keith's attitude. |
