Valvrave

Valvrave, or Valvrave the Liberator, is an anime series that came out in April of 2013 followed by a manga series and light novel series in the summer of the same year. It takes place around the 71st year of the True Era (unspecified) where seventy percent of humanity have moved from Earth to a Dyson Sphere that encloses an artificial star. There is a war between the totalitarian and militant Dorissa Military Pact Federation and the liberal and economic Atlantic Rim United States. There is another nation known as the technologically advance Japan and Islands of Oceanic Republic that is neutral. The primary mechs are known as Primate Frames, which are the most common. But Valvraves are different. Valvrave is an acronym for VAmpire Link Vessel Rune Activate Vital Engine. In other words, they turn people into something called a, Magius which is sorta like some sort of energy-based alien race yet uses humans as hosts and feed on blood.
In the NewVerse, the Primate Frames are usually used for combat and some heavy construction. Valvraves, not so much. Not a lot of people want to be some sort of alien host vampire in order to pilot the superior mechs. In other words, the Valvraves are a double-edged sword. They do have some ships and they are great for short distances. However, Valvrave is known for the artificial suns and Dyson Spheres.
