Anime Like BASToF Syndrome
SYNOPSIS
In 2097, Xenon's most addictive entertainment is a mecha battle game where pilots jack into cyberspace to pilot bio-mechanical robots. The catches are stacking up fast. Reality bleeds into the virtual arena: damage dealt in the game manifests as destruction across the city. It starts with anomalies. Players experience shared hallucinations, a woman's anguished cry, spectral imagery, an overwhelming stench of citrus. Something's corrupted the system, and nobody knows what or why. The game's architect recruits three of Xenon's most talented but volatile pilots to form an elite investigation squad. These arrogant teens clash constantly, each carrying their own baggage and psychological barriers. They're forced to shed their egos and confront real fears while hunting down a conspiracy that runs deeper than any high score. What begins as debugging a glitched game evolves into uncovering something far more sinister threatening both worlds at once. Their teamwork determines whether Xenon survives or collapses entirely.
