Description: 10 years after the Great Tokyo War, each prefectures in Japan had split up into independent nations. Each nation is ruled by a prophet called "Mosa" and an army called "Mob" as they start to compete to take over other countries. Four "Mob" girls from the Saitama clan, Nozomi, Yukina, Ai, Chiaya are ordered by their “Mosa” to travel around Japan riding their motor cycles to mediate multiple battles between nations and clans as they emerge.
I have no idea how to describe the plot of this series, so I'm not even going to try. Description lifted from ANN.

Uhh...

Did you like Attack on Titan? I bet you did. The same company developed this. It's not even remotely the same! But it does have the same director who worked on Gin no Saji...and it isn't like that at all either. Maybe the art palette. Lots of watercolor and saturated colors.

If I had to compare this to anything...it would be a combination of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=5580), Uchouten Kazoku (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=9782) Busou Renkin (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=4516), and Kamikaze Girls (http://youtu.be/cbFEPS8PPic). If that doesn't make any sense, I think you understand what I'm trying to say here.

In the first episode, two super powered girls, referred to as "Bests" in the translation, fighting head to head in order to take over the territory the other represents. They are supported by a legion of "Rests" who do a lot of support tasks, blocking off the area, inexplicably cleaning up trash, helping their Best win the fight, or scheming and cheating.

And it goes crazy and nonsensical from there.

There's a clear subplot where the main character wants to help the leader she looks up to, while the leader doesn't want the main character involved in any kind of danger whatsoever.

The graphics are crazy, the fights are well animated (hopefully they stocked up on all that Attack on Titan cash) and often there is simply too much going on to concentrate on everything there.


In conclusion, I have no idea WTF I just watched but I want more of it.

After ep 1, feels like your average wtf show. I wonder if I can get some enjoyment later.
