RS Project (originally proposed as "F.S. Project" for "Find Storage") takes place in a parallel world that resembles modern Japan, but where alien lifeforms known as "Muttsu" (Trick) fell from the sky in 2025 and wiped out many cities. Nine years later, the main characters are a pilot, Yuzuru Midō, and her assistant, Rin Sagami, who use a mecha made out of an enemy's remains discovered in Japan. However, battle causes memory loss for the pilot, and they must unravel the mystery as to why.
The anime won the "Bokutachi no Mitai Mecha Anime o Tsukurou Seisaku Iinkai" ('Let's make the mecha anime we want to see' production committee, or "MechaTsuku" for short) contest from smartphone novel production company Every Star. Roll was in charge of the original planning for the contest entry, and Shūichirō Satōdesigned the mecha.
