ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL is a story about characters of fleets that are based on fleets in World War Ⅱ, fighting with the main characters!
In 2039, a mysterious herd of fleets suddenly appeared everywhere in the sea of the world, and they started attacking people with superweapons which we have not seen.
Human beings tried anything to fight against them but lost at the end in front of their overwhelming power.
The mysterious herd of fleets was covered with fog, so they were called “Fleet of Fog”.
In 2056, a mental model of a submarine in the Fleet of Fog “I-401” (a human formed interface to contact externally reflected by the fleet’s idea, or Artificial Intelligence), Iona, contacts to the main character Chihaya Gunzo.
Gunzo is not able to stop getting perplexed at first to the appearance of the Fleet of Fog which is an enemy of human beings. However, he does not listen to the government and decides to become a captain of I-401, because he wants to get a power to defeat his current situation.
He fights the “Fleet of Fog” with Iona and his crew, and they deliver a weapon which is the human being’s last hope, called “vibration warhead”, to America.
While Gunzo is fighting with the “Fleet of Fog”, he starts thinking that not only fighting but also understanding the Fleet of Fog may be possible.
At first, mental models of the Fleet of Fog just obey Admiralty Code (a mysterious strategy code called “lost order” which the Fleet of Fog is looking for), and they start having a feeling close to human beings as the fighting with Gunzo goes……
ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL has cool fleets and fighting scenes, while mental models are so cute, which gap is very attractive. (*´∀`) There are some scenes that a stuffed bear fights somehow, and a heavy cruiser Takao falls in love with Gunzo and becomes Tsundere*. This anime is full of joking! lol
(*Tsundere is a Japanese word, meaning “sometimes cold, sometimes lovely”.)
My favorite character is a large battleship Kongō, wearing a black dress and always calm and cool, with a poker face♪
Kongō always says “We are weapons. Just obey the Admiralty Code”, and it is very such a difficult one as the heavy cruiser going around together Maya says “You are as obstinate as a mule”.
In the anime version, there is a scene that they meet the enemy Gunzo and his crew and eat dinner together. At that time, the difficult Kongō smiles a little bit when he sees Maya enjoying!
I really got excited to see this scene.
I thought “This one loves Maya so much”.
Since then, I start loving Kongō. (*゚∀゚) lol
After that, as the story goes on, Kongō closes his heart due to an accident.
Iona wants to save Kongō and heads to him, while Kongō refuses her and it ends up with fighting each other…
Kongō, who always strong and cool, says “Please. No…!” in a very small voice with fear, which I extremely got excited to see at!!
Also, when I saw Kongō is crying with his legs folded, I got super excited and felt like “I want to hug you!!”. (;゚∀゚)=3
After that, Iona hugs Kongō on behalf of me. lol
ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL is originally a manga, and the anime version has its original story on the way.
In the manga, Gunzo’s father who betrayed human beings Chihaya Shōzō appears, and a super huge fighting fleet-class Yamato also appears, which is based on the famous Yamato, the lead ship of the previous Imperial Japanese Navy etc. There are many stories coming up, which are not in the anime.
Both manga and anime are enjoyable in a different way so I really want you to check them out. ヽ(o・∀・o)ノ
