This is pretty neat. It’s like a Meiji-era Hellsing. It has a real strong Gothic Horror vibe to it. The overall aesthetic is pretty cool, too. It calls to mind anime titles of the late 80s/early 90s, really simple and clean artwork. Think Ninja Scroll or Fist of the North Star. Soundtrack is pretty decent, too. Glad to have found this here, I randomly came across the title on Google and wanted to check it out.
I don’t watch Anime, but being an Aries, I had to check it out based on the name. I’m still trying to figure out what Mars has to do with ANY of this, but I’m only 3 episodes in… So far it’s VERY misleading, and also extremely slow…
That’s a really weird way to choose what to watch. As for misleading….astrology.
So far, astrology has ZERO to do with any of the plot. Do you think someone flat out stating they were curious about something due to an astrological reason doesn’t GET astrology? FOH with that mess.
I really dont understand how someone can see a title a ‘mars red’ and deduce it is about astrology…
but I also dont understand how someone can mix aries the god, aries the astrologial sign, choose something to watch based on that and then complain it is misleading
that just confort me into the fact that ‘astrological’ people have no logic at all
so thanks, I guess…
and BTW, just so can end complaining, ‘Mars red’ is just the name of a color, a type of red, of course…
you see the point with vampires or will you look for connections where there is none, as a good ‘planets dictate my life’ believer? ;)
Aries (♈︎) (Latin for “ram”) is the first astrological sign in the zodiac, spanning the first 30 degrees of celestial longitude (0°≤ λ <30°), and originates from the constellation of the same name. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this sign from approximately March 20 to April 21 each year.[2] This time duration is exactly the first month of the Solar Hijri calendar (Arabic Hamal/Persian Farvardin/Wray). [3]
According to the tropical system of astrology, the Sun enters the sign of Aries when it reaches the March equinox, which occurs on average on March 21 (by design). Because the Earth takes approximately 365.24 days to go around the Sun, the precise time of the equinox is not the same each year, and generally will occur about six hours later from one year to the next until reset by a leap year. February 29 of a leap year causes that year’s vernal equinox to fall about eighteen hours earlier—according to the calendar—compared with the previous year. From 1800 to 2050 inclusive the vernal equinox date has (or will) range(d) from March 19 at 22:34 UT1 in 2048 to March 21 at 19:15 UT1 in 1903.
~HERE’S the clincher wiseass…~
Ares, in Greek religion, god of war or, more properly, the spirit of battle. Unlike his Roman counterpart, Mars, he was never very popular, and his worship was not extensive in Greece. He represented the distasteful aspects of brutal warfare and slaughter. From at least the time of Homer—who established him as the son of the chief god, Zeus, and Hera, his consort—Ares was one of the Olympian deities; his fellow gods and even his parents, however, were not fond of him (Iliad, Book V, 889 ff.). Nonetheless, he was accompanied in battle, by his sister Eris (Strife) and his sons (by Aphrodite) Phobos and Deimos (Panic and Rout). Also associated with him were two lesser war deities: Enyalius, who is virtually identical with Ares himself, and Enyo, a female counterpart.
In short, anything RELATED to Mars is RELATED to Ares (Aries in current parlance).
Now sit down and close your gobshite.
The only thing I can think of is Mars (the planet, not the God of War) is red because of iron oxide and so is blood. That’s really roundabout but, again, the only connection that comes to mind. Like you, though, I only made it to episode 3 so far.
Also, I just noticed your spelling. Aries, the God of War and the astrological sign, ares, are two very separate things. lol
