A teenager gets dragged into piloting a mecha he doesn't understand against an invasion he can't stop, and the show treats it like a quiet crisis instead of spectacle. The eroticism in the marketing is a red herring; what actually matters is watching someone ordinary realize that ordinariness ended the moment the world needed him. Three episodes means it commits to its premise without overstaying it, and that brevity is the whole point, this isn't a story that needed to be told across 26 episodes.
Kei spends his days dealing with schoolwork and trouble with girls until an unknown force attacks Earth with robotic war machines. He and his childhood friend Naoki are recruited into Spirits, a group overseen by the government that trains its members to defend the planet by piloting the Devadasy, a powerful mech found by Kei's grandfather. Much about the machine is still a mystery, and what nobody knows could put lives at risk. The three-episode OVA mixes mecha action with ecchi elements.
