Alice Gear Aegis

Alice Gear Aegis (アリス・ギア・アイギス) is a Japanese multimedia franchise created by Pyramid and published by COLOPL. The series originally started as a mobile game in 2018 and has since expanded into multiple media, including console games, anime, and various forms of merchandise. Set in a futuristic world, the story revolves around humanity’s defense against mechanical alien invaders called the Vice. The defense is carried out by young women, known as Actresses, who pilot advanced combat suits called Alice Gears. These Actresses serve not only as warriors but also as public figures and symbols of hope, blending their roles as defenders with the fame of idol-like celebrities.

The narrative explores their relationships and the complexities of balancing fame with the constant battles against the alien threat. With its combination of mecha, idol culture, and sci-fi elements, Alice Gear Aegis offers a unique take on the mecha genre.
