With Earth now left in ruins following the "Nano Hazard," most of humanity has abandoned the planet they once called home along with their physical bodies and rebuilt their digitalized minds into a society within the cyber universe of "DEVA."
A.D. 2400, DEVA's central council detects an incident of unauthorized access into their mainframe. Someone on Earth was trying to hack into the system. The only information DEVA was able to retrieve was that the hacker referred to themselves as "Frontier Setter."
To investigate the mysterious hacker's motives, the high officials of DEVA dispatch System Security Third Officer Angela Balzac to the Earth's surface. Equipped with a prosthetic "material body," Angela attempts to make contact with a local agent Dingo, but what awaited her instead was a swarm of Sandworms now infesting the Earth's surface. Angela intercepts the gruesome pests with her exoskeletal powered suit Arhan.
Will Angela and Dingo be able to find Frontier Setter on this devastated planet?
Their journey to explore the secrets of the world will begin now...!

There are a few action scenes, a bit of mecha, and some philosophizing... Unfortunately, the animation was all too obviously done on a computer. Fortunately, the characters were likable (Dingo even exceptionally so), and I found all the musings on topics like "what it means to be human" and "what is the essence of human freedom" actually quite entertaining. Of course, the execution and answers are nothing too shocking for someone who has seen The Matrix and perhaps Short Circuit (I was reminded of both those movies), but why not... 5,5/10.
