Reference excerpt

Ragnastrike Angels (ラグナストライクエンジェルズ, Raguna Sutoraiku Enjeruzu) is a Japanese short anime series airing on TV consisting of 12, 30-second long episodes airing from April 3 to June 19, 2016. It is based on the video game of the same name released on December 15, 2016 in Japan for iOS, Android, PC; and ended its service on December 31, 2017.

Plot The year is 2035 E.R. Giant living creatures called Fiarem have suddenly appeared on Earth. Although mankind tries to oppose them by releasing a large number of Ectis, a type of battle android, they are undeniably inferior to face the Fiarem, which are over 50 metres or 160 feet tall and overwhelmingly powerful. In order to overcome this situation, the Japanese Diet makes the decision to use Cell Growth Factor CGF-3 technology, which enlarges living beings, for military motives and send humans into battle as giant weapons. Six heroines are selected as appropriate subjects for enlargement, and enter the Anti-Fiarem Specialists Unit, Ragna Strikers. These young women, trusting their bonds with the secret government agency, head into battle with their powerful enemies.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ragnastrike Angels

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ragnastrike Angels claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ragnastrike Angels before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ragnastrike Angels ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ragnastrike Angels

In research: Ragnastrike Angels appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ragnastrike Angels in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ragnastrike Angels is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2016 anime television series debuts, 2016 video games, Action games, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ragnastrike Angels outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
