How it feels

In a world where magic is normal, a princess named Ange is exiled when she cannot use mana. She must pilot a mecha to fight dragon-like monsters while also dealing with betrayal and uncovering awful truths about her society. The show mixes mecha battles, nudity, and over-the-top drama with a parody tone.
