As humanity adopts biological enhancements in attempts to achieve perfection, a terrorist organization uprises to prevent what could be the eventual extinction of the human race. Two former LAPD SWAT members join a special mech-piloting, military force to take down the leader of the terrorist organization.
Funimation will release the series in limited-edition DVD/Blu-ray Disco combo pack for US$69.98 on June 4. A regular edition DVD/Blu-ray Disc combo pack will also ship on June 4 for US$64.98.
