Season second is about to be released soon. Before its premiere let’s have a look at the previous storyline for a quick catch-up. The story goes around the life of a high schooler, who unknowingly bears the burden to lead a cadet group. As the anime starts, we see that a war has been going on for a period of three decades. Starting in 1973, the human species was facing a crisis as they were battling against an alien species- BETA.
A high schooler named- Takeru Shirogane, who is also the main lead, comes into focus, after his nightmare, which revealed the defeat of humankind in the long going war. Waking up he realizes that it wasn’t just a dream. Instead,it is the reality in an alternative universe.
The moment he understands these dynamics he grows weary and decides to come to the forefront. Eventually, as a strategy, Alternative V is followed. The plan consisted of transferring as many people as possible to space in order to save humanity. Though millions were transferred, millions were left to face the cruel war and side effects.
When Takeru learns about the whole picture, he decides to take action. In order to safeguard everyone, he joins a military base camp in Yokohama. The camp was situated in the same place as that of his former high school. He approaches the vice-commander and leaders of the plan of Alternative IV to explain to them what he has seen. He urges them to do something to prevent the plan Alternative V from happening.
In order to do so, he was instructed by the leader- Professor Yuuko Kouzuki to fly the Tactical Surface Fighters. He joins his fellow cadets in the fight. Though for this, he needs to master his training within a span of two months, which is very short for such intense training. How he will master the training alongside preventing the disaster remains a question.
