The Vision of Escaflowne

Macross Delta is set in the year 2067, eight years after the events of Macross Frontier in a remote part of the Milky Way Galaxy called the Brísingr Globular Cluster, which is plagued by the Var Syndrome, a mysterious phenomenon which turns people berserk without any apparent cause. A team of talented idols, the Walkure, uses the power of their songs to calm down the infected by the Var Syndrome, assisted by the Delta Flight, a team of experienced Valkyrie pilots. At the same time they are facing the interference from the Aerial Knights of the Windermere Kingdom, which found a way to exploit the infection in their favor as part of their plan to resume war against the New United Government for control of the Cluster.

The "Abductors", invaders from Altair, come to the planet of Vega with only one purpose: to harvest humans. Neo-DEAVA, a military academy based near the city of Neo-Kowloon, exists to train men and women to use technologically-advanced fighter planes known as "Vectors" in order to fight back against the Abductors, but members of opposite genders are forbidden from merging because of certain "Guize stones" that block such so-called "unholy unions". The story follows Amata's and Mikono's enrollment into Neo-DEAVA, their fight against the Abductors, and the discovery of their link with their counterparts from 12,000 years ago. Based on the anime that aired from January to June 2012. Link: [AnimeNewsNetwork](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=12547) (anime)
