Synopsis:

At St. Ignacio's School for Girls, the members of the Etiquette Club find their academic pursuits unexpectedly intertwined with high-stakes combat. Transformed into "Extars," they pilot advanced mecha known as Battle Skippers, tasked with combating global threats.

The series presents a blend of high school drama and science fiction action, offering a somewhat lighthearted exploration of responsibility and teamwork. While the premise embraces a playful tone, it also touches upon themes of leadership, rivalry, and finding unexpected strengths within oneself. The animation style and character designs reflect the mid-1990s era of mecha anime, providing a glimpse into a specific period of Japanese animation history.
