Candidate for Goddess is set in the year 4048, over one thousand years since the Crisis of Systems, which resulted in the destruction of four planetary systems, leaving only a single inhabitable planet, Zion. Mankind is forced to live in space colonies, since that one planet is constantly being invaded by alien life forms that have come to be known as Victim. To stop the aliens and protect Zion mankind has developed five astronomical humanoid weapons, Ingrids, also known as Goddesses. At the G.O.A. (Goddess Operation Academy), young men from colonies are trained to pilot the Goddesses and are partnered with Repairers, whose sole job is to provide assistance to the pilots and maintain the vessels they pilot. Each of the pilots require a blood-type of EO have a special power called EX, which varies from pilot to pilot. The time that a child can control a Goddess is limited and replacements have to be found after a moderate length of time.

One can easy enjoy the whole uncompleted series, because there was not a point in which there was nothing to enjoy. The fact that there was no resolution to the series should not affect it negatively, it should be viewed as room for an unknown future, though admittedly one can be a bit upset that they canceled the series and never reinitiated it. The opening scene and just Zero's personality can hook someone onto this series as well as the humorous repeated failures of Clay. The fact that he always believes retreating is an option makes him vulnerable with a average life span of ten seconds in battle. The story was original, regardless if it had some aspects of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gundam intertwined within it.
