About Ozma

If you are hunting for a new sci-fi series, Ozma (オズマ) deserves a look (2012). The setup goes like this. The premise: In the far future, the elevated irradiation from the sun has destroyed the environment of the earth and the birthrate of humans has drastically decreased. The government controls society with an army of cloned soldiers called "Ideal Children (IC)".

Beyond that: Sam Coyne is a trader in a desert. One day, he saves a beautiful woman Maya, who has been chased by Theseus, a corps of IC. He shelters her in his trade ship, but the destroyers of Theseus surround Sam and Maya.

With sci-fi at the core, ideas, tech concepts and production design set it apart. Narrator (Shou Hayami) and Sam Coyne (Tetsuya Kakihara) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among fans of futuristic settings and big-concept stories, put it on your list. With 6 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by GONZO and Planet, so the studio's house style defines how Ozma looks and moves on screen. Within the sci-fi category, ideas, tech concepts and production design set it apart. With a 5.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Shou Hayami as Narrator, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2012, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
