Synopsis:
Quote:
In the late Edo period, Japan had experienced an unprecedented crisis by Kurofune (Black Ships), the ships from foreign countries. But a giant robot called Onigami, which has existed since ancient time, dispelled the Kurofune ships and the exclusion of foreigners was accomplished. The story begins in Japan where Meiji restoration in 1868 didn't happen. The tagline says, "I can be the greatest man in the world, because I am a virgin!!"
I love the fact they emphasize the fact that the difference of where the Meiji restoration era didn't happen when they have giant mechas in the formula. This alternate Japan is different with or without the Meiji restoration when you have giant mechs.
