Synopsis:

In a vast, arid landscape known as the Grand Savanna, young Aoba finds her solitary life upended by unforeseen circumstances. Following the loss of her grandmother, she is unexpectedly taken to a clandestine facility where colossal, piloted robots are utilized in ongoing conflicts against mysterious entities called Ancient-Jinki. Aoba dedicates herself to mastering the complex mechanics and demanding training required to become a pilot. Her ambition isn’t simply to participate in these battles, but to unravel the deeper purpose behind them – a truth concealed within the mechanized warfare. The series explores themes of loss, determination, and the search for meaning amidst a world shrouded in secrecy, as Aoba strives to uncover the secrets held within the robots and the Savanna itself.
