About Sca-red Rider XechS

If you are hunting for a new adventure series, Sca-red Rider XechS (スカーレッドライダーゼクス) deserves a look (2016). The setup goes like this. At its core: In the otome game, a world of godless people was being menaced by Nightfly O'Note, an enigmatic alien invader from a crimson world via the crimson barrier Scared. To counter the Nightfly O'Note's threat, the humans establish the LAG defense agency at the Ryūkyū Islands.

As things develop, the anti-Nightfly O'Note fighting unit Scared Rider valiantly stood against the threat, but was completely wiped out five times. So, the sixth and latest unit, Scared Rider Xechs, was assembled from five young men. However, at nearly the same time that SRX was formed, the Nightfly O'Note invasion stopped without warning.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Akira Asagi (Ayaka Shimizu) and Hiro Kurama (Hiro Shimono) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
