Busou Shinki: Armored War Goddess - Complete Collection Blu-ray

In Busou Shinki: Armored War Goddess, set in the future, life has changed in a small but significant way: almost every household now includes a Shinki—a 15-centimeter tall, highly advanced "Armored War Goddess." These tiny partners are designed to assist, protect, and serve their owners. For high schooler Rihito, life with his three Shinkis (Ann, Ines, and Lene) is mostly peaceful—until a new Shinki named Hina arrives, and the small group finds themselves caught up in a series of miniature yet high-stakes adventures. From household chores and neighborhood rivalries to intense battles for honor, these tiny robots prove that even at six inches tall, they have hearts as big as any human's.
