It is Tokyo, 1969. Earth is under the attack of the "Invaders." Fortunately, though, the public is unaware of this. But to the secret orginazation, A.E.G.I.S., the threat is very real, and it is up them to stop this invasion. One day on his route to high school, Ukiya Shun observes a battle between a young girl and a group of Invaders. He ends up helping her and discovers that much like the girl, he possesses the ability to generate a "gate" of special power that only a few other people are gifted with. As a result, Ukiya then joins A.E.G.I.S. in an effort to recruit other Gate Keepers in order to protect the city, all while doing his best not to imitate his late father, whom he dispises.

Where it came from
Gate Keepers was produced by the studio GONZO and released in 2000 during a period when the studio was actively establishing its reputation for integrating high-end digital animation techniques with traditional cel work. The series serves as a reflection of late 20th-century Japanese pop culture, combining the aesthetics of 1960s science fiction with the character-driven tropes of the mecha anime genre. It was conceived as a multi-media project, bridging television broadcast with radio dramas and manga adaptations to maximize audience engagement.
The character designs, which lean into a nostalgic, retro-futuristic style, were handled by Keiji Gotoh, who aimed to evoke the charm of mid-century hero stories while grounding them in a more contemporary dramatic structure. Upon its release, the series was received as a stylish, albeit conventional, addition to the genre, noted primarily for its distinct visual flair and its focus on the 'Gate' phenomenon, which served as a creative metaphor for the anxieties of the transition into the new millennium.
