OBSOLETE（オブソリート）
OBSOLETE
⚡ Polarizing
In a trade deal for Earth resources, aliens known as Peddlers barter their supremely advanced Exoframe technology — robotic mecha controlled by neural linking. But access to that extraterrestrial technology threatens to fundamentally alter human civilization, especially when it comes to the theater of war. (Source: Sentai Filmworks)
