Star Driver is an action-packed anime series by Aniplex that first aired in 2010. The story follows a teenage boy named Takuto Tsunashi, who arrives at Southern Cross Island, a mysterious place that harbors a secret organization known as the Glittering Crux Brigade. Takuto's arrival coincides with the sudden appearance of the legendary mech, Tauburn, which has the power to unlock the island's secrets.

The plot revolves around Takuto's journey as he tries to uncover the mysteries of Southern Cross Island and the Glittering Crux Brigade while also battling their giant mechs, known as Cybodies. The series explores themes like friendship, self-discovery, and the consequences of power. As Takuto fights against the Glittering Crux Brigade, he discovers that everything is not as it seems, and there might be more to the island and its inhabitants than meets the eye.

The cast of Star Driver is filled with talented voice actors, including Mamoru Miyano as Takuto Tsunashi, Saori Hayami as Wako Agemaki, Jun Fukuyama as Sugata Shindo, and Akira Ishida as Head. Haruka Tomatsu voices the role of the mysterious Maiden of Zero Time, while Ami Koshimizu plays the brash and fiery Mizuno You. Chiemi Chiba and Ayano Niina voice two of the Glittering Crux Brigade's elite members, Benio Shinada, and Simone Aragon, respectively.

Houko Kuwashima plays the role of Takuto's mother, Keito Tsunashi, while Maaya Sakamoto voices the enigmatic voice of the island's AI System, Samekh. Shinichiro Miki portrays the charismatic and manipulative President of the Glittering Crux Brigade, Reiji Miyabi, and Shun Takagi voices the young and ambitious Ivan Romanov, who aspires to lead the brigade. Kenji Akabane plays the role of George Honda, a high school student who is initially hostile towards Takuto, and Ayana Taketatsu voices his twin sister, Yoko Honda.

The animation and art style of Star Driver are stunning and vibrant, with beautifully detailed character designs and dynamic action sequences. The mechs, or Cybodies, which appear in the series have a unique and distinctive design, with each one having its own special abilities and powers. The soundtrack of the series is also noteworthy, with a mix of modern and classical music that complements the story and creates an immersive atmosphere.

One of the unique elements of Star Driver is the concept of Zero Time, a dimension where the Cybodies can be summoned, and their pilots can fight without risking any damage to the real world. The series explores the psychological toll that this power can have on its wielders, as well as the consequences of using such powerful tools.

Overall, Star Driver is a thrilling and captivating anime series with an engaging plot and lovable characters. Despite its initial lighter tone, the series deals with some serious topics and themes, such as morality, power dynamics, and the line between fantasy and reality. The complex relationships between the characters, their motivations, and backstories, make the story all the more intriguing and enjoyable to watch. If you are a fan of mecha anime, action-packed battles, and rich storytelling, then Star Driver is a must-watch.

Star Driver is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (25 episodes). The series first aired on October 3, 2011.
