Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova Cadenza

You serve aboard Blue Steel, racing the Fleet of Fog to deliver weapon schematics. But a student council of Mental Models appears. The fog thickens. Director Kishi repurposes naval hardware as anime archetypes. The film pulses with submarine warfare and the anxieties of sentience.
