It is certainly true that the creators of the "Freezing" series wanted to create something that was serious and sexy, and they did exactly that mixing it with some sci-fi technology. That sci-fi only provides mechanisms for a plot and drama, but the series itself is actually about the people, the beautiful and sexy young women - called Pandoras - who are genetically modified to become powerful fighters and warriors to fight humanity's extra-dimensional enemies, the Nova. What the Nova exactly are and why they've come to fight humans on Earth is nebulous, but an unimportant concept. We only have to know that they are there, they kill people, and they have to be fought for humanity's survival. The gorgeous and scantily clad female warriors are aided by their ultra-loyal, young male counterparts to form a fighting team; the males are Limiters, who are able to counteract the Nova's freezing paralysis, or, alternatively, cast their own freezing field; this enables the young women to fight the Nova, who are still deadly with their freezing ability held in check.Satellizer is one of the most powerful Pandora, and her partner, Kazuya, is a powerful Limiter, making them an effective team; it takes some difficulties for them to get there, but eventually they do. Much of the story is about Satellizer getting situated in the school with the other women. She is an astonishingly beautiful and sexy character who, despite that, becomes a sympathetic character that we want to see succeed in her life both as a Pandora and a person. Some of the high- powered females in the school give her a hard time, as you might imagine, with all that power and ego they possess which is necessary for them to put their lives on the line and fight some pretty scary and horrifying alien beasts. Satellizer has to grow up some more and come of age to be an effective Pandora fighter and develop into a normal, unaffected adult, which is difficult for her due to an abusive background, which we eventually get to see, and which has made her hateful of being touched by or intimate with anyone, giving her the moniker, "the untouchable queen."The art is quite beautiful and the battle scenes graphic and moving as these young people risk their lives to fight off the alien enemy. But the strength of the series is the portrayal of the inter-relationships between the young females and males as they interact, go through real and dangerous training battles with each other, and try to find a way through all that to have some kind of normal life with friends and mates that they care about. As a sci-fi author myself, who enjoys good anime - which this is - one can see that the creators worked hard to display this struggle between the characters, which is routine and difficult enough for normal teens, but is even more difficult for these modified, powerful teenagers who must sacrifice a lot to go to war against those deadly alien creatures, where they could easily die and in fact many have. The series is well-done, visually stunning, emotionally gripping at some points, and an adventure that should keep you glued to the story until the end. The sexiness and nudity of the females, where you would think it doesn't belong, is instead an integral part of the characters' persona, providing a positive developmental evolution for them in that environment; it is a necessity for these young, battling females, who must maintain their personal pride not only as warriors but as feminine females, always remaining youthful, attractive, and powerful, while it does give viewers an eyeful of feminine beauty they will not soon forget.

I think that this show is better than people say it is. If only it was still going, but it isn't. The focuses on two people with different stories who meet up and form a bond. Kazuya Aoi, who lost his sister comes to the school to become a limiter. Satellizer L. Bridget is a second year pandora who has a fear of being touched and after an incident with Aoi she is stripped of her rank and loses it to Ganessa Roland, a violent pandora who's desire it was to fight the untouchable queen and win, but after Aoi interfered with their fight, they wanted a rematch, but Satellizer ultimately won. In the heat of all of this, Kazuya ended up touching Satellizer a few times trying to apologize, but Satellizer feels that it isn't in a bad way so she decides to give Kazuya a chance eventually. I think that I can live with the high amount of female nudity, but I still wish the show hadn't stopped and kept up with the manga.

...but i could understand why others wouldn't...some people are going to be put off by the continuous and unnecessary panty shots and semi and completely naked chicks (just because they are animated?), but if u can get past that, its actually a really cool series...Kazuya is following in his older (deceased) sister's footsteps and joining an academy that trains teenage girls to become fighting machines, called Pandoras, to defeat the NOVAs. They are some sort of alien intent of destroying (just Japan?) earth and they use a technique that freezes everything around them making movement impossible.The girls are given some sort of physical enhancement that makes them tougher and able to heal from devastating injuries with no problems...there Kazuya meets a bunch of (sexy) fighters who are all maladjusted young women, and are mostly scantily clad or not at all...the boys at the academy become 'limiters' who form mental bonds with the girls to help them fight and unfreeze the NOVA's freezing field, allowing movement for the Pandoras...Kazuya's first encounter is with Satellizer (love that name!), the so called 'Untouchable Queen' who hates human contact and violently punishes anyone who touches her...definitely not for kids, there's lots of nudity, violence, blood and sexual innuendo, but for me that all makes for a winning combination!
