Gunparade Orchestra : Ao no Shou - Hikari no Umi kara Tegami o Okuri masu

About

Gunparade Orchestra is a sequel of Gunparade March. It?s a sequel in the sense that they are (supposedly) set in the same universe, but there is no real continuity from the first series. In fact, the GPO has quite a different feel in terms of character and mecha designs that give it a lighter atmosphere. Just like in the original series, GPO is about a world that has been plagued by monsters called genjuu for fifty years and Japan is one of the few places on the planet still holding out. A Diet act was passed to conscript children to be pilots for HWT (Humanoid Walking Tanks), a new weapon developed by the Shibamura Group in 1978. Each high school has a company of HWT pilots and areas designated for military use. The pilots are drafted from the school population based on compatibility tests and have a seperate class of their own. In the original series, there was also a special genetically modified child who was responsible for activating PBE bombs which generate mini-blackholes that are used to destroy genjuu brain units.
