VanDread
If the enemy doesn't kill them, their hormones will!
On WOWOW Prime
A high-energy mecha comedy-adventure built on gender-clash dynamics and escalating absurdity, where romantic tension and action sequences drive a fundamentally optimistic, episodically sustainable narrative.
Hibiki Tokai, a male third-class laborer from Taraak, ends up stuck on a battleship after a botched attempt at stealing a robot. When female pirates capture the Taraakian Vanguard, things don't look like they could get any worse.
