''Toward the Terra'', also known as ''Terra e...'' or ''To Terra...'', was created by mangaka Creator/KeikoTakemiya in the 1970s. 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.
