ALDNOAH.ZERO
アルドノア・ゼロ
En 1972, la mission Apollo 17 découvre à la surface de la Lune un hypergate menant à Mars. En se posant sur la planète rouge, les astronautes mettent la main sur une technologie mystérieuse appelée plus tard « Aldnoah », qui leur confère une position de supériorité. Bientôt, de nombreux humains s'installent sur Mars et deviennent les « Martiens ». Lorsque la princesse Asseylum descend sur Terre pour tenter de signer un traité de paix entre les deux planètes, la guerre éclate et les soldats martiens se mettent à envahir la Terre.
