old anime in 2006, but i just download it few months ago.

well not really a bad anime, especially if you love watching girls kissing each other. hahaha...

it's about a world with 3 nation with very different culture,

the first is the nation with high technology but it's very polluted with smoke and a new disease that plague the people, so they have to use full body protector and a glass googles,

the others, a nation with religious culture that can fly an ancient engine that can fly freely in the sky as a prayer to their god. but now the techno nation wants the engine because they think they the engine can solve their problem for polutted sky and because the engine can become a powerful weapon.

the last nation is very similar with the second, but very poor and so want the resource from both others nation.

so three of them hated each others, cannot speak with each other due to different language, and they want to capture the second nation's engine.

i guess it's so complicated story about hatred and nationalism. how far can you go for your nation?

the other weird things about the anime are they all born as women, in the techno nation, when the babies born, the government will select the gender and operate them. In the 2nd and 3rd nation, the individual can choose the gender after 17 years old. But due to the war, the 2nd nation try to postpone the gender choosing because only the sexless people can fly the ancient engine (by kissing of course)... hahaha... it's not that funny you know if you watch the anime, actually it a kind a serious thing for the culture.... the pilot also act as a priest because flying is the same as praying to god.

the ancient engine it self are very mysterious and even the technician from 2nd nation only know very little about it. If a group of priest fly it in the sky and form a picture, various effect will come that can be used as a weapon. Some dillema for that country because the priest actually didn't like killing.

the anime will tell the story from the 2nd nation team of pilot or priest that trying to understand what this war about, about their duties as a priest who worship god or a citizen that defend their nation, their gender choosing, their attraction with flying and so on.

well that's it

next review will be a bout Heroic Age,
