Under the Dog is a Sci-Fi anime set in Tokyo in 2025, 5 years after a specialised terrorist attack on the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The UN have formed a covert forces branch in Tokyo to sought out the terrorists and any of their connections. An international school was set up to recruit gifted high school students with special abilities and enrol them into the elite death squad. To ensure that each squad member is at their peak and do not cross, their loved ones are embedded with a micro cranial bomb so when an agent goes out of protocol their loved ones face the consequence. The Agent’s speech and actions are also constantly monitored through a chip in their brain.
