Silent Möbius (サイレントメビウス) is a twelve-volume manga series created by manga artist Kia Asamiya. The series ran for 12 volumes from 1989 to 1999. It is centered on the lives of an all-female group of police officers dedicated to protecting Tokyo from an invasion of extra-dimensional creatures called Lucifer Hawks.
The series has been adapted into animation twice, first as a pair of films from 1991 to 1992 and later as a 26-episode television series in 1998. The first film was dubbed in English and released in the United States by Streamline Pictures, which was followed by a release of the entire anime by Bandai Entertainment with an English dub from Ocean Productions. The series also was adapted into the Japan-exclusive J-RPG Silent Möbius: Genei no Datenshi for the PlayStation in 1998, featuring an original plot.
A new manga series entitled Silent Möbius QD began in 2013 as a sequel to the original series and concluded in 2019 after five volumes.
Plot
In 1999, Gigelf Liqueur, aided by the Magician's Guild, set into motion a plan to open a gate between Earth and the world of Nemesis. The intent was to exchange Earth's polluted air and water with clean air and water from Nemesis. To aid in this endeavor, a huge cyclotron was built under Tokyo. However, Ganossa Maximilian, Gigelf's old apprentice, sabotaged the plan by opening the gate early and perverting the gate for his own means.
