About elDLIVE

Meet elDLIVE (ēlDLIVE), an action, sci-fi and shounen anime by Studio Pierrot (2017). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: Chuuta Kokonose is an orphan who lives with his aunt. For as long as he can remember, he's had a voice in his head, but other than that he's a normal boy—right until the day when a peculiar-looking thing follows him home and teleports him to a place filled with more fantastic.

As things develop, it's a space police station, and Rein Brickke, the Chief of Solar System Department, tells him that he's been chosen by the computer as a possible candidate to join the police force. Misuzu Sonokata, a girl from Chuuta's school with an angelic face and ill temper who turns out to be one of Rein Brickke's subordinates, doesn't think him suitable for such a job. Chuuta, who was shocked at first, chooses to take the aptitude test after being urged by the voice in his head and to prove Misuzu wrong.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Studio Pierrot is the studio behind elDLIVE, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.2/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Released in 2017, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
