    Synopsis:

    In a near-future world facing imminent invasion, Earth's defense relies on GEAR, an organization dedicated to safeguarding humanity from the mechanical legions of the alien empire Garufa. At its core lies GEAR Fighter Dendoh, a powerful war machine piloted by the unlikely duo of Kusanagi Hokuto and Izumo Ginga – two elementary school students unexpectedly thrust into a global conflict. The series explores their evolving bond as they navigate the pressures of piloting a formidable weapon while grappling with the weight of defending their planet. Dendoh's capabilities appear directly linked to the synergy between its pilots, raising questions about trust, teamwork, and the untapped potential within human connection in the face of overwhelming odds. The narrative blends action elements with character-driven moments as Hokuto and Ginga strive to master Dendoh and stand against the encroaching Garufa forces.

      In lieu of no reviews... this might be seen as yet another mecha anime, but it could be sweet... the way there's a motherly figure, the friendship, and the reversal of an 'evil' entity, while the position reverses for a brotherly figure... it is not quite as deeply philosophical as Evangelion, but it has a certain panache and an allure that can be both colourful and dark. It explores human relationships, yet is intimate with technology and lifeless (?) machines. Overall, it may be slightly repetitious and a classical shounen mecha, its music not outstanding, but passable, yet it can be charming and at times moving.There is some character development, but also 'technicians' with not much of a backstory...nnUltimately, it does have a potentially interesting storyline.
