Break Blade Episode 1

< >

The people of this land are able to wield the crystals from the ground for whatever purpose they desire. Yet one person, Lygatto Arrow is not. He is an un-sorcerer a person unable to wield the crystals. But this characteristic will enable him to pilot an ancient mecha one strong enough to put up a fight against the invading army of Athens.

It’s not animated and even if the manga format may not quite suit the action the

settings strongly reminded me of Escaflowne probably stretching the comparison a bit too far but it’s just that feeling the characters and the premise are perhaps the strongest aspects of this manga with a protagonist who has no powers.
