is a Japanese anime spin-off from the game, Gunparade March, produced by Brain's Base. It was broadcasted on Japan's TV Asahi from October 5, 2005 to March 29, 2006.

Plot
In the same universe, the story revolves around the 108th Guard Squad, a poorly equipped unit with very little military standing, thus often viewed as a 'reject camp' for pilots not making the grade for the elite units based in Hokkaido. The apparent helpless nature of this force is hardly a deterrent for the encroaching enemy armies, ever closing in on both the 108th and the rest of the empire. The young pilots of the 108th, who had dreamed of returning home, are plunged forcefully and unwillingly into a war.
