Synopsis:
When a gate to another world suddenly opens on Earth, Mikado City is invaded by strange creatures known as "Neighbors," malicious beings impervious to traditional weaponry. In response to their arrival, an organization called the Border Defense Agency has been established to combat the Neighbor menace through special weapons called "Triggers." Even though several years have passed after the gate first opened, Neighbors are still a threat and members of Border remain on guard to ensure the safety of the planet.
Despite this delicate situation, members-in-training, such as Osamu Mikumo, are not permitted to use their Triggers outside of headquarters. But when the mysterious new student in his class is dragged into a forbidden area by bullies, they are attacked by Neighbors, and Osamu has no choice but to do what he believes is right. Much to his surprise, however, the transfer student Yuuma Kuga makes short work of the aliens, revealing that he is a humanoid Neighbor in disguise.
Plot:
Yuma and his dad, Yugo, were fighting for a small nation on the Neighbors' side of the inter-dimensional divide. His dad is a war hero and seems like kind of a stiff. We never get a clear look at his face, which is an odd choice. This effectively conveys that he was an enigma even to Yuma, but if they're trying to set up that he might resemble someone we recognize, it doesn't work very well. Either way, Yuma seems to resent him for taking up all the attention. Then, one day, Yuma snuck out to participate in a battle he wasn't ready for and was mortally injured. Yugo sacrificed his own life to revive his son, creating a Black Trigger that allows Yuma to live through a Trion body. However, this means that Yuma is permanently eleven years old. He also inherited his father's side-effect of lie detection, exacerbating his already flippant attitudes towards authority. Yuma was subsequently guilted into continuing the war effort in his father's place, achieving victory at the cost of his total disillusionment. (Although, once again, the emotional impact was ruined in some shots by giving Yuma his =3= face during serious moments. At least they didn't make him look like that during his father's death.) He came to Japan to see if Border has the capabilities to revive his father from the Black Trigger, and when he learns that they don't, falls into quiet despair. Yuma, sensing his friend's pain, gives him a new reason to live by asking him to join Chika's quest to rescue her friend and older brother, and they form a new Border trio.

Graphics:
8/10. I'd say it's pretty average, but I like it anyways. Pretty much the same as every other anime.
Overall:
8/10. Definitely give it a try, it's worth watching. A pretty good anime.
