The time is 1969. Mysterious aliens known as Invaders are revealing themselves among humans, wreaking havoc all over the world. AEGIS (Alien Extermination Global Intercept System) is an organization dedicated to stopping the Invaders, gathering young people with special powers to help them fulfill their objective. AEGIS' recruits have the ability to open and close different kinds of interdimensional gates that are used to fight the Invaders, thus they were called Gate Keepers. Gate Keepers is about a group of young people tasked with the responsibility of protecting and defending the Earth from Invaders, which is certainly not the most original concept around (think "Evangelion" and "Pilot Candidate" among others). Gate Keepers dances around the whole save-the-world drill sans mechs, spaceships, and the like however, because each Gate Keeper possesses unique gate powers that they can channel in various ways. They use these powers to deal with the enemies directly -- charging at their targets without any armor or vehicle and then engaging them in hand-to-hand combat (well, some of them have simple weapons such as gate-power-enhanced bows and arrows, etc.). As a result, each Invader encounter is nothing short of exciting and action-packed. This somewhat interesting series has now been complemented by the second half, known as gatekeepers 21 or GK21. Which continues the story after the last episode, "For the smiles of tomorrow." Very interesting series, I'll see about posting some screen shots. Cheers.

Well, here in the Philippines, I saw the anime gate keepers in AXN. AXN does show a great show of Gate Keepers! That's why I LOVE it! But, there is no Gate Keepers yet in AXN. Maybe it would be back soon! Gate Keepers is really a nice anime! I also like the couple there~~ Shun Ukiya and Ruriko Ikusawa!!

Here's some facts on the anime: Title:Gatekeepers Category:TV Total Episodes: 24 Genres :Action, Comedy, Science-Fiction Year Published :2000 Studio :GONZO = = = It's 1969, and Japan is in the middle of a large economic boom. That doesn't mean that all is well, however. Mysterious beings, called "invaders", are infiltrating Japan at an alarming rate. Earth Defense Organization AEGIS has a secret weapon to battle the invaders — Ikusawa Izuniko, a schoolgirl who can open a dimension to another world and draw devastating supernatural powers from it. One day on a routine assignment, AEGIS sensors detect an immense Gate Power source in the area — one Ukia Shun, an estranged boy who was completely unaware of his amazing power.

Yep I agree..really cool pic. 24 episodes isn't really that short.. a lot of anime these days are usually about that much or 26 episodes... the more traditional anime such as Sailormoon, CCS, DB is much longer ^_^ Like in Ayashi no Ceres, Fruits Basket, Evangelion, and DNAngel there's only 26 eps. But Ah! My Goddess only has 5 epis That's what I call short. Anyhow, I like the girl with the two balls on her hair ^_^ Looks cute..Somehow, these characters remind me of Sakura Wars.

The girl with the two balls in her hair, in a red shirt or something I think is Fei, the chinese gatekeeper with the Gate of Fire.

Basically, each 'Gatekeeper' can summon their own gates, which draws power from an alternate dimension. For example, the Gate of whirlwind which Shun Ukiya has, gives him the power to create wind based attacks.
