In the distant future, the nature of war has changed. "Objects"—massive, spherical tanks impermeable to standard weaponry and armed with destructive firepower—rule the battlefield; their very deployment ensures victory, rendering traditional armies useless. However, this new method of warfare is about to be turned on its head.
Qwenthur Barbotage, a student studying Object Design, and Havia Winchell, a radar analyst of noble birth, serve in the Legitimate Kingdom's 37th Mobile Maintenance Battalion, tasked with supporting the Baby Magnum, one of the nation's Objects. Unfortunately, a battle gone awry places the duo in a precarious situation: mere infantry stand face-to-face against the unfathomable might of an enemy Object. As they scramble to save themselves and their fellow soldiers, a glimmer of hope shines through, and the world's perception of Objects is changed forever.
Heavy Object follows these two soldiers alongside Milinda Brantini, the Baby Magnum's pilot, and their commanding officer Frolaytia Capistrano as the unit treks all over the globe to fight battle after battle. Facing one impossible situation after another, they must summon all their wit and courage to overcome the insurmountable foes that are Objects.

Where it came from
Heavy Object debuted in 2015 as an anime adaptation of the light novel series authored by Kazuma Kamachi. Produced by J.C. Staff and directed by Takashi Watanabe, the series explores a futuristic setting where conventional warfare has been rendered obsolete by the invention of massive, autonomous spherical weapons known as Objects. The narrative follows two young soldiers who find themselves constantly pitted against these overwhelming machines, emphasizing a theme of human ingenuity triumphing over insurmountable technological power.
The character designs were handled by Atsuko Watanabe, who aimed to blend the gritty, high-stakes military aesthetic of the source material with the expressive, character-focused style typical of the medium. The series was met with interest for its unique premise, which subverts standard mecha tropes by focusing on infantry characters engaging in tactical sabotage rather than piloting the machines themselves. It is recognized for its lighthearted banter contrasted against the high-concept science fiction environment.
