About Gad Guard

If you are hunting for a new adventure series, Gad Guard (ガドガード) deserves a look (2003). The setup goes like this. In short: Several hundred years in the future, the resources of the Earth runs out, and the progression of the human race has stagnated. The world is now divided into "Units".

Along the way, a boy named Hajiki Sanada lives with his mother and sister in Unit 74, in a place called "Night Town", in which all electricity is shut down at midnight. The key in this story is an object called the GAD. GADs have the ability to reconstruct materials while reacting to feelings of an organic life.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Hajiki Sanada (Kenichi Suzumura) and Katana (Junichi Suwabe) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
