As soon as it's up on CR Manga, I would instantly read it and just dread the end of the chapter cause I won't know when the next will be out.

The American fleet is closing in. And we saw Bismarck for all of one panel. She has twins.

anyone here saw the movie of Ars Nova?
just watch it and kinda have mixed feeling about the course of the story...
first thought it will be like a compression of the entire series but after half an hour of some scene from the series they go to the even after they handed the war head to the americans...
Hiei also made an appearance along with the other stuco mental model
but the way the movie end kinda left an unwanted taste since the left a very huge clifthanger on the end...
somehow wished it would be better if the content of the movie was a part of a second season...
the movie it self is not newbie friendly
manga aside, but some relevant info from the anime were not mentioned and if shown it was barely enough... and watching it without knowledge of the events that took place in the anime would leave a huge ? to the viewer

^ You know, there's this thread which is a better place to discuss the movie .

That's why I said the following in Ars Nova movie thread to people who want to directly watch the movie without watching the series first....

No battle thrills, no emotional scenes, no character investment. almost everything is cut out in a bad way. And worse of all, you'll be spoiled without ever experiencing the true Ars Nova and it will ruin the entire thing. Do yourself a big favor and watch the series first. It's not even that much of a time investment since it only has 12 episodes (about 23 minutes each). Then you can go watch the two movies.

^ Mangatron already posted that pic in the movie-thread which is a more appropriate thread for the movie-only characters above. Just saying .

???

This is very confusing.

Is there more to this than just these two fragmentary images?

[Julio C]

I finally got around and saw the first movie. While the recap was kinda boring, the new material was interesting.

[Firefly00]

If Koei were to make a new Naval Ops/Warship Gunner game, this would be perfect cross-pollination material for it. They aren't, but someone else had the latter brainwave...

(reference)

On another note, it would appear that the Enterprise in IDW's Star Trek: Ongoing has a 'mental model' of its own...

[Top Sergeant]

I was very, very happy to see the crossover with World of Warships. I am working on getting my special Kongo and Myoko now.

[Firefly00]

On an amusing note, I ran across a piece of Takao fanart remarkable because I suspect the artist got their -deres mixed up. After all, one of those AIs going into full-yanderekko territory would be... troublesome.

Discovered this anime just a few days ago... and really liking it. Now on episode 11... so far my most favorite ship is Haruna - she really cares for the the friend she found. And also entertained by the episode where Kirishima fight the soldiers as a bear.

Dude, go check the manga.

It is OH SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!!

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

The manga almost lost me after what they did to the MC (spoiler). Why do they have to go that route?

Thanks, will definitely check out the manga. : )

Finished the anime today, and the ending is great. Did not expect that

Spoiler:

Kongo would become Iona's friend. and also glad that Haruna, Kirishima and Makie are doing well.

Besides the manga, there are also two movies, though unfortunately they aren't available legally online. The first movie is a recap of the TV series with approximately 15 minutes of extra footage at the end to tie into the second movie. The second movie effectively ends the anime franchise. So if you want to keep the anime-only route it's not a bad path, especially since the manga is definitely its own beast

[Liddo-kun]

I would give priority on watching the movies first... as I've read from a few posts back that the manga focuses more on the humans and has some boring political chat. Will try the manga at some point, but would probably skip through most of the human politics talk.

[00Zy99]

The political chat isn't boring at all.

You will barely even notice it creeping in and out. It reads more like a Tom Clancy thriller, really.

Forgot to say... on the last episode, when they were being welcomed to the U.S.A - I'm glad that the directors of this show hired a voice actor who sounded like an american.
