Synopsis

As mentioned above, the anime falls under the mecha genre, thus, introducing us to a futuristic world. It tells us the story of post-war Japan, where in the country is divided into four different sections. However, instead of being glad that the war is over, these sectors fight against each other to be in absolute power over the country.

We are then introduced to our main protagonist Amou Shiiba, who is an orphan. Shiiba is seen working on rebuilding Kenbu. Kenbu is an old and abandoned AMAIM robot. The AMAIM robots were mecha machines that were used during the war. After a while, we come across an AI character named Gai who needs help from Shiiba. This act, however, turns into something dark as Shiiba is deemed a terrorist and kicked out of the society he was staying in. Fortunately, this doesn’t really dishearten him as he strives to fight against the injustice going on in society by becoming strong. Like every “mecha-shounen genre” anime, he comes across many friends and foes.
