Arpeggio of Blue Steel -- ep 4

This is a surprisingly interesting show, and it's being handled really well. I am not having to stretch my disbelief to the breaking point when I watch the battles, for instance. And I don't find myself thinking that Gunzou is any kind of Marty Stu.

I really like Iona's voice performance, so I looked the seiyuu up. My last encounter with her was as Miho in Girls und Panzer. This voice is sufficiently similar so that I believe it's the same seiyuu but sufficiently different so that I believe she's versatile.

There are obvious mysteries about Iona, and I presume we'll find out what they are before the series ends.

It's a unique concept. And I have to say that the animation looks really good. All of it is CG including the characters, and it works.

UPDATE: Well, episodes 5 and 6 were certainly a change of pace...

UPDATE: Ep 7 was a beach episode.

1 Once you get past the CG, it's actually pretty enjoyable.  It serves the setup very well.
And you're in for some pretty "interesting" twists up ahead.  And some interesting combat tactics.
