After the outbreak of an unidentified virus in an event known as "Lost Christmas" in 2029, Japan has been under the control of a multinational organization called GHQ. Ouma Shu is a 17-year-old boy who has a power that can extract tools or weapons from people that reflect the nature of their souls. He becomes a member of a resistance guerrilla group called the Undertakers, whose members pilot mecha weapons to fight against the government and restore Japan's individuality.
Really cool anime involving a lot of futuristic tech revolving around a world where people's emotions are monitored and if it becomes unstable they are labelled "latent criminals" and taken down by the Public Safety Bureau. The specialised guns they use are badass, definitely worth watching.
