Synopsis:

Beneath the surface of a seemingly ordinary idol production studio lies a hidden world of conflict and responsibility. Five teenagers – Hishou, Ginga, Ace, Hayate, and Ikazuchi – navigate the demands of their manager, Reiko, while secretly operating as the Reideens, a team dedicated to combating supernatural threats. Their battles against the enigmatic Super Devils, dispatched by the unseen Lushu, are far from isolated incidents. As the series unfolds, the true nature of these adversaries and the purpose behind their deployment slowly come to light, hinting at a larger, more intricate narrative woven into the fabric of everyday life. The anime explores themes of hidden identities, teamwork, and the burden of protecting a world unaware of its peril, all within a backdrop blending the vibrant energy of the idol industry with moments of intense action.
