Buddy Complex

On the day a massive battle mech tears through the city, Aoba Watase, a regular high school student, escapes thanks to a classmate who pilots her own machine. Impressed by the rescue and the world it hints at, she accepts an offer to join the alliance backing the pilots. Suddenly schooling gives way to aerial skirmishes, political maneuvering, and the tense rhythm of coordinated fighter sorties. As Aoba adjusts to cockpit duties and the expectations of a team, she finds herself navigating more than just enemy fire, balancing friendships, rivalries, and the costs of war.

Production details such as the director and whether this title is adapted from existing material aren't provided in the available data, so official release notes and source material can't be confirmed here.

The series has drawn a modest following among fans of mecha shows, thanks in part to its all star voice cast. The ensemble includes Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Koki Uchiyama, Saori Hayami, Aoi Yuuki and Tomokazu Sugita, which helps attract attention from the broader anime community online and offline.

The show sits at the crossroads of school life and sky bound combat, presenting duty and loyalty as pressures that shape relationships. Viewers get a sense that personal goals and friendships must contend with the costs of conflict, a theme that sticks with the action. A coming of age note.
