Anime Summary
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.

Anime Song
Romaji Version
I look across a raging war
and feel the steady beating of my heart
Arashi no mae no shizukesa ni
Yaiba wo furioroshite ikunda
Kurikaeshi a memory fading ima mo
Jidai wo koete I tell a story hibiku
Sensenfukoku no uta zankoku ni somare kono chikai wo
We'll fight until the bitter end
Togireta iki no ne wo,
Kegareta sekai wo tsunagi tomete
Bokura no haguruma wo it's time to Stop & Rewind
Ushinatta kibou wo,
Kowareta jikan no PIISU wo atsumete
Torimodosu tame ni you need to Fall & Unwind
Hashiridasu kodou sae mo
Kagiranai itsukushi wo
Michibikidasu ARUPEJIO

Zenshin wo tsukisashita their words of glory meguri
Jigoujitoku no michi kawari hateta hibi aoku terashite
A destined future we'll defend

Did you ever take the time to stop and think,
or imagine all the damage your words could cause?
It's now you're standing in front of a battle-scene,
and one by one you're watching as hope is lost.
Even though you can't undo all that you have done,
it not too late to right all that you've done wrong.
You only need to acknowledge the abysmal mind,
and then you'll find the answers inside of you.
Bokura ga nozonda kotae wa
Nikushimi de kurutte shimaun darou
Arasoi no saki ni nokoshita
Tsumeato wa dare ga kesunda
Ima made todokanakute
Sukui no te wo zutto kobande ita
Hagane no you na kurushimi ni
Yaiba wo furioroshite ikunda
Togireta iki no ne wo,
Kegareta sekai wo tsunagi tomete
Bokura no haguruma wo it's time to Stop & Rewind
Ushinatta kibou wo,
Kowareta jikan no PIISU wo atsumete
Torimodosu tame ni you need to Fall & Unwind
Hashiridasu kodou sae mo
