The Art of Trigger Animation Studio 9 Space Patrol Luluco

"I'thou Luluco. Ogikubo—an abnormal town that's the only one of its kind on Earth, a Space Immigration Zone where humans and aliens live together—is where I live with my dad as a completely normal middle schoolhouse student. Just to be honest, I hate this weird town. I want to live a normal life, like people in other towns exercise."

And then begins Luluco's narration on what seems to be a relatively normal twenty-four hour period for her, waking up and having breakfast with her father Keiji. Merely when he accidentally bites into a cryonic pill and turns into a Man Popsicle, she is forced to take over his job as a member of the Infinite Patrol to brand ends meet and pay for his unfreezing.

Space Patrol's Hot-Blooded skeleton leader Over Justice equips her with a suit that transforms her into a behemothic gun, sending her to root out criminal offence in her school and encounter her new law enforcement partner, who turns out to be a New Transfer Student named Alpha Omega Nova. Luluco isn't also certain about the whole Space Patrol matter, merely this mysterious blonde-haired boy makes her heart skip a trounce. If the Large Bang was the moment when the universe began to aggrandize, is our 13-twelvemonth-onetime heroine about to have a Big Bang of her own?

Welcome to Studio TRIGGER's Milestone Celebration.

The anime aired as part of the Leap 2016 Anime flavour, and also ran during the Ultra Super Anime Time block. An English dub was provided by Funimation and released in October of 2017.
