In the future, the world is at peace thanks to the infinite energy provided by Manifestation Engine. However, a new threat appeared in the form of a huge, mechanical monster that seeks to destroy the massive engine-complex that provides this energy. Isshiki Akane, granddaughter of one of the scientists that created this engine, is called to don the Palette Suits to battle the threat.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: Prof. Isshiki. For the sake of world peace, do not interrupt his research! [[spoiler:Later on, his body literally become absent of mind, because his mind is transferred to a ferret doll.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Akane for Aoi, in episode 1.
* CrazyPrepared: Prof. Isshki has an emergency bunker under his house that can withstand a nuclear strike.
* ConspicuousCG: Mainly for the military, but better blending for everyone else.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Rei.
* {{Expy}}: The mechanical monsters (called Alone), who are [[StrikeWitches almost-Neuroi]]. The very first of them to appear also bears strong resemblance to [[FinalFantasyVII the esper Alexander]].
* ForeignQueasine: Akane's mayonnaise-on-rice. Yuck.
* TheHero: Isshiki Akane.
* HumanPopsicle: [[spoiler:To prevent the degeneration of Prof. Isshiki's body, his granddaughter literally stuffs him into their fridge, as per his suggestion.]]
* IWillFightSomeMoreForever: The military's initial response to the first Alone is to send a squadron of fighters to investigate. When the squadron gets shot down effortlessly, their next plan of action is to ''send more'' fighters in. Slightly justified in that they're trying to defend the Manifestation Engine (which supplies the energy for the whole world) so they have no choice but to fight it head on.
* IgnoredExpert: Prof. Isshiki was aware of the threat the Alone posed to humanity for years, but nobody believed him and he was cast out of the scientific community.
* MagicalGirl: With a decidedly scientific tone.
** MagicalGirlWarrior
* NiceGirl: Oh, Akane...
* PantyShot: [[{{Fanservice}} Awww yeah!]] In fact, the very first scene has sunrise as seen through between Rei's thighs. This is also what caused many fans to consider this a SpiritualSuccessor to ''StrikeWitches'', for better or worse.
* ParentalAbandonment: Akane's father is deceased, her mother is in the hospital due to an accident, [[spoiler:later on, Prof. Isshiki's soul is transferred into a ferret doll while his actual body is effectively dead.]]
* PowerSource: Manifestation Engine provides one for the whole world, making war for resources a moot case for the most part. [[{{Phlebotinum}} It's also an Alone lure]].
* PrimalFear: Height, for Akane. Caused by the tragedy that put her mother in the hospital. This proves to be quite a problem for our hero.
* RedShirtArmy: The fighter pilots and battleships sent against the Alone.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: DoubleSubverted. Prof. Isshiki used to be one of the leading researchers of the Manifestation Engine, but after he tell the government that [[CassandraTruth there are dangerous aliens out there]], they booted him out, forcing him to continue his research by himself.
* StarScraper: The Manifestation Engine complex. It's easily over 1000m tall, as its internal lift indicates.
* SuperSentai: A combination between SuperSentai, MagicalGirl, and ''StrikeWitches''.
* TakingTheBullet: Amagi Mizuha does this for Aoi, using her jet fighter! She managed to eject, though. [[RedShirt Her squadron mates, not so much...]]
* TransformationSequence: One that is conspicuously lengthy.
** TransformationIsAFreeAction: It doesn't even seem to take place in the normal space or time.
* TransformationTrinket: The Key that Prof. Isshiki invented. Akane's is red.
* TwentyMinutesInTheFuture: Besides the Manifestation Engine, the technology level still isn't all that different from the modern day. Actual-paper newspapers and cord phones are still used.
* TemptingFate: "The world sure is a nice place", Akane said to herself. That's not going to last...
* ThemeNaming: Color. ''Aka''ne is red, ''Aoi'' is blue.

When the squadron gets shot down effortlessly, their next plan of action is to ''send more'' fighters in.

* IgnoredExpert: Prof. Isshiki was aware of the threat the Aroun posed to humanity for years, but nobody believed him and he was cast out of the scientific community.

* PrimalFear: Height, for Akane. Caused by the tragedy that claimed her mother. This proves to be quite a problem for our hero.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Averted. When Prof. Isshki invents the Manifestation Engine, he uses it to provide the entire world with cheap, clean, infinite energy.
