Four years have passed since the final battle between Celestial Being and the UN Forces. Humanity, having established the Earth Sphere Federation, forms an autonomous peace-keeping force, A-Laws, separate from and above the formal Federation army. Given unfettered discretion, A-Laws is charged with the duty to further unify nations, enforce the will of mankind, and dispose of terrorist cells. Unknown to the general public, however, is that the A-Laws misuse their power and employ inhumane tactics to oppress freedoms, doctrines, and ideologies, all in the name of 'unity'.

Another show ruined by Studio Gonzo. FMP started off good with the first half of the series that was based on the original comic. But when Studio Gonzo started writing their own plot lines into the show, it turned into another one of their wasted and over-rated shows. The characters are all typical anime cliches and plot lines. But the good animation, music, and the first 12 episodes serve as the shows only saving grace. Hint of advice, forget about the 2nd half of the series, it just serves to disapoint... Still it's an alright series, but Mediocre at best.
