The seventh volume of the sci-fi , Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio (Arpeggio of Blue Steel), is announcing that an anime adaptation has been greenlit. In the story, a Fleet of Fog loaded with superweapons appeared around the world. Unable to resist this fleet, humanity was defeated and could no longer travel the seas. 17 years after the devastation of the naval war, Gunzō Chihaya and her friends somehow controlled the Fleet of Fog and renamed it I-401. Together with Iona (the "mental model" or physical incarnation in humanoid form), they took control of the Fleet of Fog.
Seiji Kishi (Persona 4 The Animation, Angel Beats!, Devil Survivor 2 The Animation) is directing the anime at animation studio SANZIGEN (009 Re:Cyborg, Black Rock Shooter). Makoto Uezu (Devil Survivor 2 The Animation, The Qwaser of Stigmata) is in charge of the series scripts, and Masato Kōda (Monster Hunter & Devil May Cry games) is composing the music. More news soon.
