'' (女神候補生 ''Megami Kōhosei'') is a
Japan ese
Manga created by
Yukiru Sugisaki . It was adapted into a twelve episode
Anime series in 2000 by Xebec, a subsidiary of
Production I.G . A thirteenth episode was released in 2002 in the form on an
OVA . This episode is currently unreleased in North America.
The anime series, entitled '' for its American release, was broadcast briefly on
Cartoon Network 's
Adult Swim block in 2002, though it was originally intended to be broadcast on
Toonami and edited accordingly. It was poorly received by the American audience and has yet to be reshown on Adult Swim. Bilingual DVD's were released by Bandai Entertainment, and it is currently available in a complete series boxset.
It is the year 4088. It has been over one thousand years since the Crisis of Systems (Lost Property), which resulted in the destruction of four planetary systems, leaving only a single inhabitable planet, Zion. Mankind is forced to live in space colonies, since that one planet is constantly being invaded by alien life forms that have come to be known as Victim. To stop the aliens and to allow people to land on Zion, mankind has developed the astronomical humanoid weapons, Ingrids, also known as Goddesses. At the G.O.A. (Goddess Operation Academy) young men are trained to pilot the Ingrids. Each of the pilots has a special power called EX; this can consist either of the ability to freeze time or to move at extreme speed. The time that a child can control a goddess is limited and replacements have to be found after a moderate length of time.
The intro on the American Adult Swim broadcast actually shows a part of the anime that should have happened in a future episode.
