In L.C. 922, people faced a sudden crisis.
In Tetra Heaven, the land of legend, a hundred years of war had come to a close. The gods who lost the war searched for a new place to live, and found it in Septpia, the human world, which they proceeded to attack. The Logicalists attached to ALCA, a special police agency whose duty it was to protect cities from assaults by foreigners (angels), were compelled to act in defense of cities, whether they wished to or not.
And depending on their ability, Logicalists could initiate trance with goddesses from the other world, and stand a fighting chance on the battlefield.
A civilian named Tsurugi Yoshichika, who lacked Logic and lived happily with his family, was caught up in an attack, and took shelter along with many people. He meets a beautiful goddess named Athena. In her hands, she had the Logic that Yoshichika lacked. Now both Yoshichika and Athena head to their destiny.

Well... I've reached the age where I can't just enjoy flashy fight scenes for their own sake anymore. There needs to be substance behind them, and I did not see that in this first episode. That being said, this was still an enjoyable by the numbers 'sci-fi super soldier redemption' story that was somehow slightly better than the sum of its interchangeable parts. You should know if this is a show for you by the header image alone, if you've seen your share of modern anime. The question is, will this do more than remind you of better shows that have an almost identical premise and execution? Let us know below.
