When you die, according to this series from director Ichiro Itano, there’s a chance that instead of going to heaven or hell you will end up in a vacant Tokyo apartment where a giant black ball will order you to put on a high tech battle suit, pick up a gun and go out and kill aliens. If you do what the big ball asks you get a chance to go back and lead a normal, if alternative, life among the living, at least until the ball calls you back for another assignment. If you don’t complete the mission you will die, again and for the last time. It sounds weird and, to be honest, it is. But the series is also addictive, thanks to some amazing artwork and a rotating cast of characters who make each episode play on its own unique level.
