Freezing



Freezing is an anime series adapted from the manga of the same title written by Dall-Young Lim and illustrated by Kwang-Hyun Kim. Set in a slightly futuristic world, Earth has been invaded and is at war with aliens from another dimension called the Nova. In order to counter them, genetically-modified girls with super fighting skills called Pandoras, and their male partners, called Limiters, who use special "freezing" powers to limit their opponent's mobility, are made to fight against the Nova. The series focuses on Kazuya Aoi, a Limiter whose late sister was a Pandora, and Satellizer el Bridget, a powerful Pandora with a cold personality, both of whom are enrolled at the West Genetics Academy at which Pandoras and Limiters are trained. The plot follows Kazuya's friendship with Satellizer, the students of the Academy, and Earth's ongoing war against the Nova.

 The anime was licensed in North America by Funimation Entertainment for simulcasting (in its 16:9 edited format) on their video portal.[3] Funimation later gained additional licensing rights to the series and released it in 2012 on DVD and Blu-ray.[4]
