Just finished the 1s movie for Break Blade/Broken Blade. Really entertaining stuff! If you liked Escaflowne, BB will be for you.
In BB everyone can use "magic" which is the ability to levitate/move a crystal called quartz, which is used in everything from their guns, machines, transportation and of course, mecha. Then we have our hapless protagonist who is a freak of nature who can't use magic for some reason. Then of course his country gets attacked by some neighbouring country's superior spec-ops mecha and he gets thrown into some ancient junk mecha which he , surpise surprise, only he can pilot. The junk mecha seems to be using electronics from this era, and from a time when its pilot didn't need magic to use it.
There are various clues thrown in the 1s movie hinting that the world might be
which makes this a very promising show to follow. Can't wait for the next episode/movie.
