Brief Description:
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.

User Reviews
04/16/2014: ForeverInspired [ Already Rated ]

Violence / Gore: There's definitely fighting, but it's mostly bloodless.

Nudity / Sexual Content: If I remember correctly, it's just some revealing clothing. One girl has a complex on another girl.

Potentially problematic theological themes: I don't think that the Fleet of Mist uses magic, but it definitely is sci-fi oriented then. The Fleet talks in a different dimension and seem like aliens.

Other potentially problematic themes: I think that there are these "artificial beings" created. Also, the Fleet of Mist seem like aliens. Both of these phenomenons act very similar to humans.

FINAL VERDICT: This series is pretty much about protecting what you treasure most. While this series does have good themes, most of the time it dragged out and wasn't that enjoyable. I would probably not recommend it personally.
