ガンパレード・オーケストラ , GPO
The Gunparade series is set in an alternate reality. In 1945, near the end of World War II, an alien race called the Genju suddenly came down to the war-torn Earth to take it over. All at once, the world had something far bigger to worry about than pride and land. These aliens intend to wipe out the human race. United for the first time in human history against an unprecedented threat, mankind has fought the Genju for over half a century, only to watch their world slowly be swallowed by the devastating foe invading the planet. Jumping forward to the present day, sometime in 1999, in the Japanese region of Kyushu, we find that humans are fighting back with newly devised weapons known as Humanoid Walking Tanks (HWT),and with the hideous power of the PBE bomb against the Genju "Brains" leading the assaults on the few safe havens that remain.
