Plot
In a near-future dystopian Japan, circa 2011, a mysterious organization known as the SSC has indoctrinated most of Japan into accepting the destruction of otaku culture, while their Shobon Army rounds up all otaku and their prized possessions into concentration camps. Resisting them are a trio of magical girls, named Anarchy, Blue, and Pink, guided by a young man known only as the Otaku Hero. After spending three years fighting for the remains of Akihabara, Anarchy decides to go on the offensive and reunite with her fellow magical girls to gain back the culture from the oppressive regime.
