Based on Yoshiki Takaya's popular manga, the series centers on a normal high-school student who is thrust into an epic battle of good and evil via a suit of alien robot armor that transforms him into a powerful mechanized warrior. But this remake boasts a more contemporary flavor with stunningly stylized animation and character designs as well as amped-up levels of violence and gore. Gearing up to appeal to a whole new generation of anime fans, this series continues with episodes 5-8.
