In the near future, humans had overcome energy crisis with an ultimate energy generator called "Manifestation Engine" and had been enjoying the peace. However, mysterious beings called "The Alone" emerged and broke the peace. But Dr. Kenjiro Isshiki, a developer of the Manifestation Engine, has developed "The Vivid System", an anti-Alone combat system, in preparation for the incursion of the Alone that he expected. Akane Isshiki, a granddaughter of Kenjiro, and her friends uses "The Operation Keys" which are the keys for starting the system for them to transform to be the worriers by wearing the ‘palette suit’ which allows them to generate extra-ordinary power and fight against the Alones to protect human from their danger.
This animation was the latest one directed by the director Kazuhiro Takamura, who also directed "Strike Witches" and was welcomed with great expectations among the programs started in the New Year of year 2013.
The story starts from designing the palette suits worn by the palette team (some suits profusely emphasized their ‘buttoks’) including heroin Akane, and active participation of each character with great individuality can be watched alternatively in the following episodes. (I personally love Himawari chan in the yellow suit). Should you not miss the cuteness of girls.
In addition, as may be expected of the director Takamura showing the military related story in the ‘Strike Witches’, the actual equipment of the united defense force against the Alones are shown another and yet another. The striking force of CV ‘George Washington’ and the convoy of type 90 tank shown in the opening gives me goose bumps. Another one to focus is homage for other works. What I want to recommend most is a series of 7th episode "Unrelenting Wish" and 8th episode "More Vivid Than Today" . It is a story to strike back Alon who invades Blue Island via from Tohoku to Tokyo by spreading electromagnetic wave. It can be said that it is "Mothra"＋"Evagelion 6th episode" ＋"Evangelion 16th episode"＋other.
Cocoon grows at tall town and striked back by beam after defending attach by barrier. It is a detailed part, but in this story, director of control section of Blue Island recommends to the prime minister to drop all SGF bombs existing. This reminds me of the Eva 16th episode, Dr. Ritsuko Akagi recommended dropping large amount of N2 into the Dirac sea. Mika Doi, the voice actress of Shijou director also played a role in Evangelion. She played a role of Doctor Naoko Akagi who is mother of Ritsuko. I was impressed that both mother and daughter recommend dropping of large amount of arms to destroy human beings.
Well, as I explained above, there are many higylights to see. So I guess verious aspects are possible. Please enjoy.
