LAGRANGE – THE FLOWER OF RIN-NE (Rated TV-MA) depicts

from invading space aliens. Madoka Kyono is an energetic girl who is full of
passion. As the proud, and only, member of the Kamogawa Girls’ High School Jersey
Club, she goes around helping people in need. But Madoka’s life is turned
upside down when she is suddenly asked by a mysterious girl named Lan to pilot

Madoka agrees to pilot the resurrected Vox robot to fight against
extraterrestrials that have come to attack Earth.
