The show is set in the future years after a devastating earthquake wreaked Tokyo. To aid the rebuilding robots known as Boomers were used but now these Boomers have started to go out of control. The police set up a specialist unit called the AD Police to deal with these incidents but they are underfunded and understaffed. As such the responsibility of protecting Tokyo falls to a group of vigilantes called the Knight Sabers, who are all young girls in hightech suits.
The premise is pretty much what you would expect and this anime offers no real surprises. The plot is OK the acting is OK the characters are OK and yet... I quite like it. I don't know why but I do. It is not amazing but is is a solid show and I enjoyed it.moreless
