Plot Summary: {From Wiki} Set in a slightly futuristic world, Earth has been invaded and is at war with aliens from another dimension called the Nova. In order to counter them, Pandoras and Limiters, genetically modified girls with super fighting skills and their male partners who use special "freezing" powers to limit their opponent's mobility, are made to fight against the Nova. The series focuses on Kazuya Aoi, a Limiter whose late sister was a Pandora, and Satellizer el Bridget, a powerful Pandora with a cold personality, both who are enrolled at the West Genetics Academy, one of the many academies where Pandoras and Limiters are trained. In spite of the warnings of all his friends about Satellizer, who has intense aphephobia {fear of being touched} , Kazuya decides to be her friend and Limiter. The story follows Kazuya's friendship with Satellizer, the students of the Academy and Earth's war against the Nova.
Thoughts: Even with all the nudity this show wasn't all that bad.... I had initially dropped it at episode two but gave it another chance when six episodes were out..... The following is a post I had done at the half way point....
Half Way Mark.
Earth has been invaded and is at war with a race of Aliens called the Nova. Genetically enhanced females called Pandoras and their male partners Limiters are the only defense against the threat.
Kazuya Aoi
-Younger brother of Kazuha Aoi, A very talented Pandora who gave her life to destroy a Nova
-Newly Enrolled in West Genetics Academy.
-Has a bit of a sister complex.
- Causes Satellizer to loose her Number One Rank when he pounces her in the beginning, Allowed Gennesa
Roland to defeat her and take the Number One position.
- Persistent. Bent on becoming Satellizers Limiter.
- Uses the Limiters skills {at a very high level} without being Baptised.
Satellizer el Bridget
- The Untouchable Queen, She hates being touched to the point of killing most who do so.
- Has a strange soft spot for Kazuya.
- Wears glasses when not fighting.
- Very anti social.
- Loves to eat Hamburgers....
- Thinks of the Baptism as Dirty, Doesn't have a Limiter because of this.
Little Bits, Most of the show has been Kazuya trying to become Satellizer's Limiter and her slowly warming up to him. As of episodes five and six however there is another girl who wants Kazuya to be her "Soul Mate" {Limiter}.
Rana Linchen
- Enrolls at Second Year Level, Even though she's new.
- Physical fighter.
- Has six stigma's or "Tears of Kunlun"
- Wants Kazuya as her "Soul Mate" Limiter.
- Can hold her own against Satellizer. {they fight for Kazuya in episode six}
- Seems very friendly so far...
Why? Surprising enough there's more to the show then chicks kicking ass while getting their clothes ripped off. With episode four, Ingrid Vernstein a third year student who lost a very close friend against a Nova a year ago.
While they were still second year students, Marine {her friend} gave her life to protect the first year students from a surprise attack by a Type S Nova. Ingrid had always been angry and believed that the first years ran away and abandoned Marine but that wasn't really the case... Marine knew the first years didn't stand a chance so she basically sacrificed herself so they could escape.
The episode made things feel a bit deeper, Gave better character to Gennesa, Kazuya and a number of the other characters.
The End 7 to 12
It's been a while since I've watched these episodes, I stopped around episode nine and then restarted just recently... The whole series almost seemed like character building to lead up to more episodes but all we got was a three episode Nova battle.
In the end? After some of the students were absorbed by the Nova and turned into Nova Form Pandora Slaves, A fight ensued... Most people survived. At least the important ones. Satellizer finally wants to preform the baptism with Kazuya and all is happy.... Okay. Bad explanation.
I'm still not sure why I liked this series.
Favorite Character{s}:
Chiffon Fairchild ~ The Smiling Monster; Fox Like even.
Cassie Lockheart ~ She wanted to be a writer but, Her father forced her to become
a Pandora. She's the highest ranked third year fighter but doesn't "feel" or act like
she is...
Least Favorite Character{s}: Most the Limiters ~ They were just kiss ass little boys in most cases, Kinda useless too...
