is an anime
sequel to Divergence Eve
. It follows smoothly from the previous series. The characters are the same and the plot is similar, but the theme of the episodes is much different. In this series, the elite team at Watcher's Nest is traveling through time, fighting the Ghoul at different times during Earth's history, mostly in Japan.

This series is also distinct from its predecessor in that it is more plot- and character-driven, with less in the way of fan service.
