Synopsis:
In the futuristic world of Danger Planet II, where remote-controlled automatons are integral to both sport and conflict, Kirio Nimura stands as the reigning champion. His skill with these virtual puppets is unmatched until his path crosses with Sairi Takahara. Sairi challenges him not with words, but with a singular demand: prove your worth by defeating her formidable puppet, Benkei. This seemingly simple contest becomes a central point of contention between the two, revealing deeper motivations and unspoken desires beneath the competitive surface. The series explores themes of ambition, personal boundaries, and the complexities of connection within a society defined by technological prowess and carefully constructed hierarchies. It offers a glimpse into a world where skill is measured through proxy battles, and true understanding requires overcoming individual obstacles.

User PunpunAZ (Score: 5/10):
This show is your typical mecha anime form the 90's, except this have virtual mechas. The art is suprisingly good, with modern standards too, the animation is not that good, but still enjoyable. The plot is mediocre, the characters don't have iconic personalities, but still you can watch it without being bored. For the sound, it is also mediocre, nothing special. Since this is a really obsecure anime it's hard to find, especially in good quality. If you were lucky enough to find it, it's worth a watch. One of Tsueno Tominaga's best work... between the hentais and Initial D. If you have already watch it, you canalso flex to your friends, you've seen a rare anime.
