A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Seiji Kishi, and they both carry the neon soaked, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Action / Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova DC-, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova Cadenza- is

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.
