Summary:

In a world that's been ravaged by super contagious and deadly virus known as Gastrea – which also happens to spawn things like giant jumping spiders after killing its host – mankind has been driven back into a corner. But if there's one thing that mankind knows how to do, it's punch adversity right in the face and push back against oppression. With the discovery of an element known as Varanium and its unique effect against the Gastrea (think of Superman and Kryptonite), mankind has erected huge walls known as monoliths around their major cities to keep the monsters and the virus at bay. But just like how Kryptonite doesn't instantly kill Superman, Gastrea-spawned monsters sometimes make it past these barriers, and if not handled properly could create a pandemic. That's why something called the Civil Security Companies were created, private organizations that utilize a Promoter/Initiator combo to deal with the Gastrea threat. The Promoter is the one in charge of battle logistics while the Initiator is the fighter who also happens to be infected with the Gastrea virus, but has built up an immunity to the thing–granting them superhuman powers.

Own opinion:

When you want something like scince fiction with lots of action then you should watch this. And in this anime you will see lots of badass little kids, specially girls. If you are a loli lover like me then watch this! Add in the emotion that came from a scene that drove home how the Gastrea is a virus that kills you without any remorse. This is really an amazing anime you have to watch.
