With the debut in Japan today for the first feature film for the Arpeggio of Blue Steel franchise with Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova DC, it’s the perfect time to kick off the promotion for the second film. That film, Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova Cadenza, is now set for an October 3rd, 2015 debut and the first teaser for it has arrived alongside the promotional poster for it. The first film is a compilation film with some new bridging material while the second film will be an all new piece that introduces some new characters. The feature films are bringing back the same team that worked on the series with Seiji Kishi directing at Sanzigen while having Makoto Uezu on scripts.
Plot concept: By 2039, global warming had caused sea levels to rise and large amount of territory to be lost. As though in response, a mysterious group of warships clad in mist, “the Fleet of Mist,” appeared in every corner of the ocean, and began attacking human ships. In spite of humanity mustering all their strength, they were utterly defeated by the Mist’s overwhelming force. All of humanity’s trade routes were blockaded by the Fleet of Mist, their political economy was destroyed, and the human race was steadily beaten down. Seven years later, the Fleet of Mist’s submarine I-401 appears before cadet Gunzo Chihaya. The humanoid life form that pilots the sub, who should be their enemy, is instead offering her services to mankind.
