In Alcia everyone has a number tatooed on their body which counts a certain something such as walking a certain distance, helping others. When this number reaches zero, they are sent to the Abyss. Hina's mother was taken away from her when she was just a little girl and her last words was to seek the legendary heroes of the past Waste War known as "Aces" from 300 years ago.

After walking over 4km for 5 years in search of such Aces, Hina finally comes across someone who possessed one of their features, a white star and almost falls into the hands of a corrupt officer. Anyone with a higher count can command someone with a lower count unless they agree to a Star Stake battle. Ballot Holders on the other hand can have an accessory known as a "Ballot" that can help change that Count. However, a famous local pervert known as "Licht Bach" whose negative Count shows how many times he's been rejected and beaten by girls, saves her and turns out to be one of those Aces, "Flashing Strikes".

Despite Licht's best efforts to distance himself away from Hina to keep her safe, Hina's determination allows her to track him down again and again. As she journeys together with Licht, they meet new friends and discover the truth behind Ballots and Aces.

Picked this show randomly not knowing what it's about or what studio produced it.

You can pretty much tell from the story it was going to be a very silly show. Right from the get go, you have blatant fan service as a pervert openly goes around groping ladies and of course, get beaten in the process. Wasn't too impressed with the last Geek Toys show I watched, DErideD so I wonder if that's why they've decided to go with a fan service filled show instead. You don't actually see anything as with other fan service shows, it's mostly sensual poses, lots of sound, cleverly censored scenes and a lot of cheezy lines to go with it. Even the episode previews are just making fun of cliches.

It feels like a bunch of ideas very loosely tied together like a poor version of Gate. Some of the battles felt like the early Dragon Ball where the Count would determine how powerful someone is although, I guess the bounty in One Piece is similar in a way.

Despite that, things do get a little more interesting about 8 episodes in. There's actually romance too despite the harem element; Hina chasing down her and believing her man like Relena does from Gundam Wing. Second half of the show the story becomes more focused and character driven but the fan service also increases.

Nothing really stands out and it may seem like your average fan service filled action fantasy, harem show but there's the odd little twist to keep things interesting. It's not the kind that turns your brain to mush by focusing on fan service one scene after the other only either so at least that's good. It has its fun moments and while it's not the kind of silliness like from Trigger shows that are filled with energy and great animation, I still quite enjoyed it so kind of looking forward to a second season.

There's the odd episode with bonus scenes after the credits so don't miss those.
