The Great War of Archimedes

Tokyo, early Showa era. A 50-meter slide rule. Naval command wants Yamato, a battleship to end all battleships. But Admiral Yamamoto smells a rat, enlisting math genius Kai to crunch numbers. Soon, Kai finds more than mere miscalculation. Yamazaki’s CGI-heavy war stories offer a fresh angle on familiar history.
