Sci-Fi/2002/Action/OVA Titles

#
Sci-Fi: (Setting) Self-explanatory. Anime of this category should contain Science-Fiction elements.

Action: (Genre) Lots of shooting, explosions, and the like. Contains subcategories of more specific types such as "Gun-Action", "Martial Arts", and "Swordplay"; see also: "Fighting".

OVA: (Type) OVA = Original Video Animation. These are the direct-to-video anime titles done in Japan. Often, OVAs can start a franchise (Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki), start a TV series (Mahou Tsukai Tai!), be a sequel to a TV series (Love Hina Again), or be a stand-alone title (Aa! Megami-sama! OVA). Sometimes, the OAVs are named the same as the TV series and thus will sometimes have the term OVA listed after the title's name to separate it.

Gate Keepers 21
Watch It is now 2001. It's been 22 years since the War of the Gate. Ayane Isuzu is a 11th grader by day but a Invader Hunter by night. Turns out that the invaders have not left Japan. They have developed new ways to infiltrate society and are actively taking over people instead of replacing them. Since it's been 22 years, technology has advanced and now the Gate Keepers can create 'artificial' gates that can simulate the Gates that other people have used. Not as powerful, but very useful. After defeating the Invaders, Ayane reports to her 'Captain' a man who drives a powerful car and looks VERY familiar.
