The Story ...

Centering around five students at the prestigious Rosenstolz Academy, this anime is as beautiful to the eye as the story is compelling to the mind. Join Orpherus, Eduard, Ludwig, Naoji, and Camus on the trials and triumphs!

Very strong on plot, this anime is a study of characters and the impact they have one one another.

During the first series/season, we're introduced to each of the characters and given hints as to their backgrounds and their rivalries.  The two polar opposites--Orpherus and Ludwig--are as different as night and day ... or are they ...? Both long for peace in a time of turbulence, and they, with their friends, learn that perhaps by working together, they can forge a new path to the future ...
