The 2000 mecha series Candidate for Goddesses has landed on Crunchyroll, complete with an English dub and subtitles. Produced by Studio Xebec, the anime adapts the manga of the same name and follows young boys with rare abilities who are trained to pilot giant mechs, known as Ingrids, to defend humanity's last planet, Zion, from the alien threat Victim.
Set in a future where humanity has been driven to a single planet, the series dives into the rigorous training and combat faced by the pilots. While the show scored a 6.96 on MyAnimeList, its premise offers a classic sci-fi setup that might appeal to fans of early 2000s mecha action.
With all 12 episodes now available, it presents a compact, self-contained story for viewers looking to explore a piece of anime history. The narrative focuses on the pilots' struggles and the constant threat of alien invasion as they become the last line of defense for humankind.
