This is a visual masterclass that treats 2D and 3D integration like actual storytelling, not a technical flex. The world feels lived-in and decaying in ways most sci-fi anime just describe at you. But the plot collapses under its own weight, refusing to explain what's actually happening until it's too late to care. If you're here for the animation and atmosphere of obsolete heroes in a world that doesn't need them anymore, you already know this exists. If you're here for narrative coherence, keep walking.

Nine ordinary people from different corners of the world are kidnapped and turned into cyborgs with remarkable powers, meant to be used as weapons. They rebel against the ones who made them and fight for justice and world peace. Decades later, the nine seem untouched by time, yet the world they now live in treats justice as something with as many shades as there are people alive. That leaves them with a question harder than fighting their creators: where do they belong now? The film blends action, adventure and science fiction with mecha elements.
