The story of Jinki: Extend takes place in a futuristic world where robots known as "Jinki" are used for various purposes, including military combat, transportation, and building construction. The show's main character, Aoba Tsuzaki, is a high school student who lost her mother in a tragic accident involving a Jinki. After the incident, Aoba's father, a scientist, disappears without a trace, leaving Aoba alone and traumatized.

Years later, Aoba is invited to join an organization that specializes in Jinki research and development. It is here that she discovers her father's whereabouts and the truth about her mother's death. Alongside a group of other young women who operate Jinki, Aoba fights to protect the world from dangerous forces while trying to unravel the mystery behind her father's disappearance.

Throughout the series, viewers are treated to action-packed fight scenes involving the various types of Jinki, each with unique capabilities and weapons. The mecha designs are well crafted, and the battle choreography is fluid and exciting to watch. However, the show does not solely rely on action to tell its story; it also delves into the relationships between the characters and their struggles with personal issues.

One of the strengths of the show is its diverse cast of female characters, who each bring their own personalities and strengths to the table. From the reserved and serious Rui to the confident and sassy Akao, the characters all have distinct voices and add to the depth of the series. Additionally, the show explores themes such as loss, acceptance, and the ethical implications of using technology for warfare.

Jinki: Extend boasts solid animation, with detailed backgrounds and character designs. The soundtrack is also worth mentioning, with a mix of hard rock and techno tracks that fit the show's futuristic themes. Overall, the show is a great blend of mecha action and character-driven storytelling.

In conclusion, Jinki: Extend is a must-watch for fans of mecha anime, as well as those interested in character-driven stories. The show's unique take on the mecha genre, coupled with its diverse cast and themes, make it a standout series that is worth checking out.
