A terrible catastrophe destroyed the world, and only the fortress city of Tokyo, protected by a powerful force field, remained as the last fragment of humanity. This is what 17‑year‑old Ayo Kamino, a Tokyo schoolboy who thinks he leads a normal life, believes. That life ends with the breach of the force field and an attack by strange fighters that are opposed by even stranger combat machines. In the ensuing chaos, Ayo encounters a young woman named Haruka Sito, to whom he immediately feels an odd attraction… Thus fate, in the form of Haruka, leads Ayo to a godlike being named Ra‑Zefon, a mysterious giant that can be called a robot or an instrument for tuning the Universe. With his help, Kamino, like a chick, hatches from the shell of ignorance and begins to search for his true place in the world. The main themes of this magnificent anime, densely woven from the traditions of the mecha genre, ancient history, philosophy, and mysticism – Time, love, and music.
