## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Amaim Warrior at the Borderline is an original Japanese anime television series animated by Sunrise Beyond that originally aired from 2021 to 2022. Set in the year 2061, the story takes place in a world where Japan and the rest of the globe are consolidated under the rule of four trade blocs, leaving the Japanese archipelago under constant occupation and oppression by multiple states.

The narrative centers on an introverted boy named Amo Shiiba who has a chance meeting with an autonomous AI named Gai. Through acquiring the AMAIM Kenbu, Amo begins a journey to take back Japan alongside a reticent and frank 16-year-old member named Gashin Tezuka, against a backdrop where humanoid war machines patrol the streets of the frontline conflict zone.
