What happens

Divergence Eve (ダイバージェンス・イヴ, Daibājensu Ivu) is a thirteen episode Japanese anime television series created by Takumi Tsukumo and directed by Hiroshi Negishi, with production by Operation EVE and animation production from Radix Ace Entertainment. The series is a science fiction story set in the far future, incorporating aspects of space opera. The character-driven storyline focuses primarily on the psychology of the main character, her social interactions, her inhuman abilities, and the conspiracy surrounding them. The technology is often secondary to this, but it is not ignored; several aspects, including their means of faster-than-light travel, are explained and loosely based on modern physics. The series was a hit in Japan, which led to the creation of a sequel, Misaki Chronicles, which also ran for 13 episodes. In North America, the television series was initially licensed by ADV Films and was released in three volumes on VHS and DVD. Sentai Filmworks re-released the series in a box set, including Misaki Chronicles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
