In the 21st century mankind was on the brink of destruction. Through genetic engineering however they eradicated such feelings as love and the desire for power. Since women are naturally less agressive than men, women to man ratio was set to 9:1. Now people are engineered to have skills that others view as being necessary. There is a giant ring that now orbits the earth, that sits there and relays information back to an alien race that sent it. Now a team of five women will try to eradicate the alien threat.

Where it came from
Gene Shaft was released in 2001 as a twelve-episode anime series produced by Bandai Visual and Studio Gazelle. The project emerged during a period of experimentation within the mecha genre, attempting to blend high-concept space opera with a distinct, character-focused noir aesthetic. Its narrative, centered on a pilot tasked with tracking down those responsible for a planetary destruction, leans into themes of moral ambiguity and isolation that were prevalent in early 2000s psychological science fiction.
The visual identity of the series is characterized by a stark, angular design language that emphasizes the bleakness of its setting. While the show is remembered as a niche title, it serves as a representative example of Bandai Visual's efforts to diversify its portfolio beyond mainstream franchises during the turn of the millennium. It was met with modest critical attention, often noted for its stylized animation choices and its departure from the more bombastic tropes of the era’s robotic combat shows.
