The story is set in the sort of post apocalyptic world (although it could still be the apocalypse) where cities are encased in these large domes that float about the land. They are controlled by these so-called spirits of the cities that try to avoid these monsters that look like giant ugly insects. There is one city though that actually floats towards all of these monsters probably for the soul purpose that there is a special team (the Heaven's Blades) that can defeat them by the power of Kei (the more they defeat, the less there are and you get the picture). So the main character, Layfon, gets into this academic city where he wants to live a normal life but eventually finds out that he cannot due to his special skills using Kei. It is revealed that he was the keeper of the twelfth heaven's blade at his original city and the president of the academic school finds this out and quickly moves him to the military arts program where he joins the 17th platoon. The leader is a rambunctious girl, Nina, who lives for fighting and desperately wants to win and be called the best. After seeing Layfon's true power and getting over the fact that he hid it, she is excited about the possibilities of being the best in the city. Layfon sees this as naive because she has no real sense of battling the monsters or how terrifying and dangerous it really is. The other teammates of the platoon are soon whipped into shape as eventually are seen as the best. There are many back-stories to this anime. There are four girls in love with Layfon, and being the typical anime character, he is clueless to this or doesn't care to turn off any of their affections. Leerin, his sort-of girlfriend back in his old city is being befriended by the queen, who is undercover, for some strange reason, while all of this is happening. There are also random clips of a different anime that are about two minutes long and are almost a complete back-story to the entire series, but that isn't really explained or known unless you read the manga. This back-story also has something to do with Leerin and the queen's fascination with her.
It is an emotional roller coaster of an anime but very good until the last drop. There is action, romance and even a little comedy. I fell in love with the anime style, and especially the characters; they were extremely in depth and I couldn't help myself rooting for Leerin to be the main love interest for Layfon. So I highly recommend this anime, it was honestly one of my favorites and I am determined to read the manga and watch the origins to see how we get to this point in the series where it starts.
But anyway, I am very sleepy so I will continue all of these new posts tomorrow! Goodnight!
