Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova- Arc Review

Is this worth it to watch?
Here are my points to consider:

• Do you like ship girls? Do you enjoy military themes mixed with sci-fi elements? If so, this anime might be right up your alley

• Ah the CGI, if you are a strict 2D person then this anime is made completely in 3D CGI. Give it some chance, the animation isn't sloppy but there are some faces that looked really odd considering it's an old anime

• You want a complete story of the whole crew? Want to see their initial exploits? then too bad, those things aren't shown in this anime. It does show the origin story of the MC but none of his initial exploits

• Starting from ep 3 it deviates from the OG source

• The finale episode felt lacking, it has more story to tell and I would even recommend watching the 2 movies to get a satisfying ending.

• If you know the song Savior of Song by Nano feat. MY FIRST STORY then that song is the OP of this anime. Along with this memorable OP, it also features a great selection of soundtracks that enhance the atmosphere and impact of its major scenes.

• Fan service you ask? Yep, this anime has fan service but it isn't on the level of the manga. The anime keeps it relatively mild, mostly consisting of swimsuit scenes and a few questionable camera angles.
