Around the the 37th year of the Meiji Era (1904) in the midst of the Russo-Japanese war, the small Japanese army, in need of assistance, uses its special flying (thanks to a benevolent demon) ship, the Amanohara, to attack Russia's major base at Port Arthur (Lushun).
Umakai Shintaro, a Russian diplomat originally from Japan, defects and goes to Sapporo to teach at a girls academy. However, that girls academy is not typical - it is on board the Amanohara, and the five girls Shintaro teaches are known as the Raimu Unit - girls with the ability to summon powerful beings to fight for them. Shintaro eventually becomes their teacher and general in battle, and so the six embark on a weird and excessively erotic journey, as Shintaro helps the girls overcome their weaknesses, become stronger for the final stand at Lushun, and also understand the motives of the "Russian Spiritual Corps" that assist the opponent, which, unfortunately, has one member whom Shintaro knew well...

Where it came from
Lime-iro Senkitan was produced by studio KSS and released in 2003 as a thirteen-episode television anime series. Set against the backdrop of the Russo-Japanese War, the narrative follows a protagonist who encounters a group of five young women serving as the 'Lime Troop,' who utilize mystical powers derived from traditional Japanese poetry to combat supernatural threats. The series emerged during a period of experimentation within the anime industry, blending historical military motifs with the burgeoning aesthetics of character-driven bishoujo media.
The character designs were illustrated by Akahito Arakawa, who sought to blend early 20th-century aesthetic sensibilities with the stylized visual tropes popular in early 2000s animation. Upon its release, the series received a polarized reception, noted primarily for its unconventional tonal shifts between historical drama and magical action. It has since gained a modest legacy as a niche representative of the era's fusion genre, often discussed for its distinct visual direction and its unique, if polarizing, narrative structure.
