Chrome Shelled Regios


In a desolate world there are mobile domed cities called Regios that battle each other in contests for control of the devices required to operate the cities. The cities exist because the atmosphere is polluted to the extent that it is unlivable. There are also creature called Filth monsters or contaminoids that live in the polluted world and are drawn to the cities. Among one of the cities exists an elite group of fighters known as the Heaven’s Blades. Among them was once a young boy by the name of Layfon Alseif.  A very powerful young man who decides to go to a different city to study, after having been banished from the Heaven’s Blades. On the day of entrance he save another student from being injured and gains the attention of the student president. The student president is in control of the city and put Layfon into the military arts program and grants him a full scholarship, against Layfon’s wishes that is. Layfon doesn’t want to fight anymore so he makes an attempt to hide his true abilities from his platoon. Although it doesn’t last for long because there becomes a need for his strength and he must defend his friends and city. The fighters  use an internal power known as kei to enable weapons known as DITE. They transfer their kei energy into the DITE to use them as a weapon. The only problem is that Layfon’s kei is so powerful that normal DITE cannot handle it. He destroys DITE very quickly when he releases his kei into them. The DITE mechanic  for his platoon creates special DITE for him to use, but the only weapon that can handle his kei so far has been the heaven’s blade that was once his. I loved this anime, and wished it had further seasons. The animation, character development, and all around storyline are incredible. If you are a fan of fighting, magic, post-apocalyptic, or any similar genre, I would definitely  recommend this series.  Enjoy!!
