About

"A war crime disguised as a clean war"

In a nation that claims to fight a war with no casualties, autonomous drones called Juggernauts battle an enemy empire. The truth is uglier: young people stripped of citizenship because of their ethnicity are forced to pilot those drones and die by the hundreds, hidden from public view. The story follows a idealistic handler officer and the hardened squad leader she comes to know only by radio. It's a somber, tightly plotted military sci-fi with genuine mecha combat, but its real weight comes from grief, guilt, and the slow unraveling of a comfortable lie.

Watch it for

the quiet, devastating bond between a sheltered officer and the soldiers her country pretends don't exist.

Maybe skip if

you want lighthearted escapism, since this leans heavily on wartime grief and systemic cruelty.

Called “Juggernaut,” these are the unmanned combat drones developed by the Republic of San Magnolia in answer to the attacks by the autonomous unmanned drones of the neighboring Empire of Giad, the “Legion”. But they’re only unmanned in name. In reality, they are piloted by the Eighty-sixers—those considered to be less than human and treated as mere tools. Determined to achieve his own mysterious ends, Shin, the captain of Spearhead Squadron, which is comprised of Eighty-sixers, continues to fight a hopeless war on a battlefield where only death awaits him.
