Synopsis

Set in 2045, the world has been contaminated by Irousu (the mysterious invaders who suddenly appeared), and humans find themselves confined by them. Then came the girls with the help of a new sensei (teacher) who can fight the Irousu without the help of troops and weapons. Shinjugammine Women’s School is a school for “Hoshimori” (Star Guardians), girls destined to fight Irousu.

Comments

The first impression of watching this anime is a bewilderment, because this anime does not have an initial introduction story like other anime in general. Well, it can’t be helped since this anime  is an adaptation of a smartphone game, so this anime is dedicated to the loyal players of the series. What I see in the first episode is that they’re showing every character just like in the game series. The curious thing about this anime adaptation is the presence of “Sensei” who actively supports and teaches the girls in Shinjugamine Girls School. In the game, the player takes the role of Sensei, just like how the players take the role of the Admiral in Kantai Colletion web-game. The anime is only recommended for players who have been faithfully playing this game series, and those who are new to this series are advised to play the game first before watching the anime adaptation.
