Sakura Wars : Le Film

A late-century Japan revives old wounds and trains an army of pretty girls in giant robots disguised as stage props. The only pilots strong enough to fuel the mechs are teenage women, so they double as a traveling theater troupe and triple as cannon fodder. They call it diplomacy; the audience calls it the most confusing dress rehearsal in history.
