The Invaders are aliens wrapped in trench coats, packing massive firepower, and sporting horrible complexions. They're taking over Tokyo, exploiting humanity's dark side to turn people into their minions.
It has been 30 years since the first round of major battles with the Invaders (chronicled in the original Gate Keepers series). In the 21st century the Invaders are still nasty, still lurking everywhere, and still able to meld with each other to form huge, formidable beasts and machines. Fortunately there's someone to stop them: the Gate Keepers.
'Gate... open!'
Ayane Isuzu isn't an ordinary high school girl. She's labeled a "weirdo" since she's a loner and is so into technology. (Does she carry that laptop everywhere?) Her sharp, cynical wit doesn't win her many friends, either. But there's something even more unusual about her, something most people don't know: She's a Gate Keeper!
To combat the Invaders, she can open the powerful Gate of Gales. And when armed with her laptop and arsenal of cellphones she can also confound the enemy with illusions and imitation gates.
The secret AEGIS Network organization has hired Ayane to not only fight Invaders but also track down other Gate Keepers. Ayane does this well, but will the team she assembles be enough to fight the power of the alien Invaders? What about Ayane's own past? Why does she hold herself at a distance, scorning the world? And most importantly, will her cold attitude put her at risk, since it's precisely these feelings that the Invaders exploit?
Over all it is a great series. It sucks that it is only Six episodes though.
