Oobari gives you mecha that move like they weigh something, not floating sprite animations. You're watching a guy pilot salvaged war machines to carve out space for people the world has already written off. That's the whole show, no speeches about destiny, just the specific weight of keeping someone alive when the system is designed to crush them.

After the fighting on the Hokuriku front ends, the Japanese people are given a new land run by the New Japan Cooperation Organization, yet life in Japan barely improves. Foreign powers still hold real control, and the oppression of the Japanese, though eased, goes on. On a remote island in the southern seas, the Oceania Army rules while the resistance group Hinukan fights back, until North American forces strike to take the island for themselves. This six-episode mecha ONA is a new entry in the Kyoukai Senki franchise.
