Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. One day, humanity was invaded by another world. Having experienced that battle, known as Other World War I, humanity moved to marine floats, built for emergency evacuation purposes, as soon as Other World War II began. It's around that time that Kizuna Hida is summoned by his elder sister and visits the Strategic Defense Academy Ataraxia where he meets Aine Chidorigafuchi, a girl who uses Heart Hybrid Gear Zeros to fight the otherworldly enemies. The chemistry Kenji Akabane and Akari Kageyama bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It first aired in 2016.
