Description: Xenosaga: The Animation
It's been 4000 years since mankind left the Earth to venture out into space. However, humanity faces a new challenge called the Gnosis, an alien species that is threatening the colonists. In the midst of this crisis, a new battle droid was created to combat the threat of the Gnosis... its name is KOS-MOS, and is a female android with amazing battle capabilities.
When a ship comes under attack, KOS-MOS is activated and manages to rescue her creator Shion Uzuki. However, KOS-MOS defies Shion's orders to fulfill her own mysterious agenda. The situation gets more and more complicated when Shion's ship is destroyed and she is forced to defend herself not only against the Gnosis, but the U-TIC Organization as well.
What is KOS-MOS' true purpose, and will Shion and the rest of humanity survive the Gnosis onslaught?
This anime is based on the first game of the Xenosaga series, "Der Wille zur Macht" (The Will for Power).
