Summary:
To the south of Japan, there lies a lush green island called Southern Cross Isle. One night, a boy by the name of Takuto Tsunashi washes up on the shore of the island alone. Having swum from the mainland alone and without any possessions, this boy enrolls in the senior high level in the school on the island - Southern Cross High School.
With his bright and positive personality, he starts to mix with various students in the school and builds relationships with many of them, including Wako Agemaki and Sugata Shindou. But this school hides a deep secret. There are sleeping giants hidden under the ground called "Cybuddies".
There are about 20 of these giants, and they are just some of the various secrets kept by everyone on the island: The secret movements of the mysterious organization known as "Kirahoshi Juujidan". The songs of the shrine maidens. And even Takuto himself will soon come to embrace a great secret...
This island in the southern territories surrounded by the blue sea and the blue skies is the stage where the "Eulogy of Youth" filled with love, dreams and friendships, will begin.
I was really unsure with this anime too begin with and only started watching it when a friend told me about it. Yet after 4 episodes im finding myself wanting to come back to it each and every week. It may seem kiddy and outrageous, and the robot is different i might add, yet there is something about the show that just keeps you entertained.
only being 4 episodes in the story isnt in full swing yet, but it is developing. the characters are all fairly unique and some of the relationships that are blossoming so far are ones that people can relate too. The animation is superb, im really enjoying that aspect of the show and character design is quite similar to that of code geass in my eyes.
That being said, if your looking for an anime that can set out to entertain, dont look past star driver, it appeals to the child in all of us and has some cool robot bashing along the way :D
