LAGRANGE – THE FLOWER OF RIN-NE depicts the adventures of a 17 year-old girl whose mission becomes to defend her city 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 a robot. Motivated by her desire to protect the people and city of Kamogawa, Madoka agrees to pilot the resurrected Vox robot to fight against extraterrestrials that have come to attack Earth.
LAGRANGE – THE FLOWER OF RIN-NE was produced by Studio XEBEC (Broken Blade, Martian Successor Nadesico, Fafner), created by the famed animation studio, Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell S.A.C Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings), and directed by Tatsuo Sato (Martian Successor Nadesico, Ninja Scroll: The Series, Stellvia). The robots were notably designed in collaboration with Nissan Motor Co., LTD's creative team and selected from more than 60 designs from an internal Nissan design competition.
“With a cast of stylish lead characters, innovatively conceived robots, and rich visual production, LAGRANGE: THE FLOWER OF RIN-NE will make an upbeat addition to anime libraries this summer,” says Charlene Ingram, Senior Manager, Animation Marketing. “The series delivers a colorful and spunky mix of action, comedy, drama and science fiction that has entertained fans across North America ever since it was simulcast on VIZAnime on the same day as its original Japanese debut. Take a journey to Kamogawa City and join Madoka and her friends for interstellar alien battles, laughs and fun in this new DVD and Blu-ray release!”
