Synopsis

The world of Lingalind is surrounded by a mystical wall with seemingly nothing beyond its confines. Worshipped as the mother of the land, the wall delivers celestial gift capsules called "Rakuho'' to locations across the continent. Arriving once a month, the capsules contain metallic armbands that allow the wearer to transform into a mechanical being known as a "Briheight." As a result, Lingalind is thrown into constant turmoil by its warring nations, all hoping to strengthen their military prowess by procuring the offerings for themselves.

One day, a Rakuho crash-lands in the countryside with an unexpected inhabitant—a mysterious black-haired man. All eyes are set on this strange newcomer, who calls himself "Back Arrow," when he claims to have hailed from a place beyond the wall—a revelation that can potentially unravel Lingalind's entire dogmatic foundation.

Im not really a mecha fan. Ive seen Code Geass and Knights & Magic. But if Mecha anime are like this, then I guess I am officially a mecha fan now.

Also, Im not smart. I cant tell you if the art is good, or if the sound design is good or if the voice acting is good (mostly cuz I watch shows dubbed so it wouldnt matter to most of you). I can say the animation is splendid, but I know that its because I can see how much fun animating this show was for the creators. And that really comes through in the animation. ...

Well, that was weird..
I went into this show thinking it would be yet another boring blueprint isekai.
Little did I know the writers were on crack, the animators were dropping acid, the producers were high af, and whoever was in charge of the storyboard was doing highballs.
I don't really know what to say about this show, I guess in a way it was entertaining, if you don't care about understanding whatever the hell is going on.
The best way to describe it would be that it's a mixture of cirque du soleil and tom green, except it's anime.
It's okay if you really have nothing else to watch, ...

A story that starts with groups of people from different backgrounds using weapons based on their convictions in the conflict. That sounds like a story with "text" behind it, doesn't it? No, it doesn't. Back Arrow is a big pile of clichés, not only of mecha but of anime in general, this is not necessarily a bad thing but Back Arrow is a stupid story that keeps you wondering whether to take what is being said seriously or not, because although everything seems to be done automatically, the anime does take itself seriously. If there is one thing I will take for life that I ...
