Invertia (meteor storm)… an unprecedented disaster that struck the world during the 20th century.
Because of this disaster, numerous cities around the world were destroyed. However, within the meteor, an unknown element called mana (the all-encompassing element), was discovered, which allowed human technology to make rapid strides.
This also gave rise to a new species of human born with unique skills – the Star Pulse Generation (Genestella).
The setting for the world’s greatest comprehensive battle spectacle, the Festas (Star Warrior Festivals), is an academy city above the water surrounded by six academies called Rikka also commonly known as Asterisk. Having transferred into Seidoukan Academy in order to fulfill his own wish, scholarship student Ayato Amagiri swears he too will fight in this city.
Burning souls race…
The curtain rises on this school battle spectacle!

Where it came from
The Asterisk War, produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Kenji Seto, debuted in 2015 as a television anime adaptation of the light novel series by Yuu Miyazaki. Set in a futuristic city known as Asterisk, the narrative follows students gifted with special abilities who compete in a high-stakes tournament called the Festa. The series was produced during a period of high demand for light novel adaptations featuring school-battle settings, aiming to capitalize on the success of similar genre entries while emphasizing high-fidelity animation sequences during combat.
The character designs for the anime were crafted by Tetsuya Kawakami, who adapted the original illustrations by okiura to translate the series' distinct aesthetic into a cohesive visual style for television. The production sought to emphasize dynamic, fast-paced action through A-1 Pictures' signature polished digital aesthetic. Upon its release, the series received attention for its polished visual presentation and technical execution, though it was also noted for adhering closely to the conventional tropes and structures characteristic of the mid-2010s fantasy-action light novel market.
