Times are changing in MegaTokyo. Boomers are no longer seen as a scourge, but rather, the city’s saviors – heralds of a new, prosperous era. With the Knight Sabers’ mission supposedly accomplished, their leader, Sylia, suddenly disappears, leaving the team to go their separate ways. In the meantime, a dangerous cabal of power-suited mercenaries start hunting for a revolutionary AI that’s about to change the world. Keenly aware of the consequences, Sylia gets the band back together. Equipped with even bigger and badder hard suits, the Knight Sabers now find themselves entangled in a conflict seemingly orchestrated by a voice from the past.

About the author

Rouven Linnarz

Ever since I watched Takeshi Kitano's "Hana-Bi" for the first time (and many times after that) I have been a cinephile. While much can be said about the technical aspects of film, coming from a small town in Germany, I cherish the notion of art showing its audience something which one does normally avoid, neglect or is unable to see for many different reasons. Often the stories told in films have helped me understand, discover and connect to something new which is a concept I would like to convey in the way I talk and write about films. Thus, I try to include some info on the background of each film as well as a short analysis (without spoilers, of course), an approach which should reflect the context of a work of art no matter what genre, director or cast. In the end, I hope to pass on my joy of watching film and talking about it.
