Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid
Created by Hiraku Kaneko, Yosuke Kuroda
A high-energy action anime built on the romantic and physical intimacy between two girls, where transformation into weaponry is both the mechanism of power and the expression of their bond.
Tokonome Mamori is transferred to Mermaid - an artificial quarantine island for people with superpowers. When Mamori is attacked, a newly transferred girl named Mirei saves her. The enemy doesn't stop, however, and the two are soon cornered. Just when they think all hope is lost, Mirei kisses Mamori, and Mamori turns into a sword. Mirei then wields the sword and launches a counterattack against their enemies.
