All You Need Is Kill

Keiji Kiriya is a new recruit in the United Defense Force, fighting against the alien Mimics that have invaded Earth. Equipped with a powered combat suit called a Jacket, he is sent to the battlefield with little training and dies on his very first deployment.

The Republic of San Magnolia claims to have ended casualties in its long war against the Giadian Empire's autonomous drones, the Legion.

Within the Plantations, children are raised for the sole purpose of piloting the Franxx in boy-girl pairs, knowing nothing of the outside world. Hiro, a former child prodigy, fails out of the piloting program after falling out of sync with his co-pilot. His existence seems unnecessary, as not piloting a Franxx is the same as ceasing to exist. Skipping his group'
