Gunparade Orchestra is a sequel of Gunparade March. It’s a sequel in the sense that they are (supposedly) set in the same universe, but there is no real continuity from the first series. In fact, the GPO has quite a different feel in terms of character and mecha designs that give it a lighter atmosphere.
Just like in the original series, GPO is about a world that has been plagued by monsters called genjuu for fifty years and Japan is one of the few places on the planet still holding out. A Diet act was passed to conscript children to be pilots for HWT (Humanoid Walking Tanks), a new weapon developed by the Shibamura Group in 1978. Each high school has a company of HWT pilots and areas designated for military use. The pilots are drafted from the school population based on compatibility tests and have a seperate class of their own. In the original series, there was also a special genetically modified child who was responsible for activating PBE bombs which generate mini-blackholes that are used to destroy genjuu brain units.
The main character is Sara Ishida, a graduate of an elite officer-training school called Shinbudai in Tokyo. She has been assigned as company commander in a remote division located somewhere in Tohoko (northeast of Japan), where the scenery won’t be out of place in Siberia.
Gunparade Orchestra - Midori no Shou is the second part of a PS2 trilogy in the Gun Parade series. The second part of a PS2 trilogy in the Gun Parade series.

Players make use of mechs in battle as they interact with the members of the 108th Security Unit working in Japan's snowy Hokkaido region.
The second salvo in the Gunparade Orchestra trilogy features more escapades at a not-so-average high school where trainees defend the school and the city they're in from invaders known as Genju. The action consists of interactive scenarios, going to class, and 3D run 'n gun action where the player takes direct control of a deft and agile student soldier who's outfitted in a nimble suit of armor.
The first Gunparade Orchestra featured a waddling penguin as the school mascot since it was winter. As GPO Midori no Shou opens up, the birds are singing, the insects are wheezing, and spring is literally in the air. The new mascot is a raggedy white cat who calmly pads around the school as the world whirls around it.
