Transposition, or: Ship Happens [Worm/Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio | Arpeggio of Blue Steel]

....and now I need to watch Arpeggio of Blue Steel.

Just a word of warning, the anime diverges pretty hard from the manga after a certain point.

Characterization is pretty different too. Iona, Maya, and Kongou in particular.

Iona is mischievous, Maya isn't even close to her idiotic, two-dimensional anime version and can be pretty damn scary, and Kongou is much more cool-headed. Oh, and the crew have actual lives outside of the bridge, with real backstories (and a seriously badass one in Shizuka's case).


The real fun will be when Saint gets front row seats to a Super-Graviton Cannon.
FTFY :p

And there's already an arc in my outline titled "In which Saint is a dickwad." Take that as you will.



Status update: 4.1 4.6k words and counting. Actually working on it right now XD

Honestly, this chapter might end up being a bit shorter than the others just because not much happens Monday evening. It's more character introduction and setting the stage for later events.

Name one story in which Saint is helpful on-screen. And no, that one scene in Queen of Blood doesn't count. :V

Yay, writing! Yay, progress, and soon updates!

you mean the scene where he winds up hugging the Apollo module? Or was that another fanfic.... they seem to blend together after a while.

Edit: Also that is one scary looking girl.

The Ar Tonelico crossover Hymn of Harmony. Taylor actually convinces him that AI are not the devil incarnate and he later goes on to publicly defend her child/Android/Ai later in the story.

There was a proto-story in which Annette was an honest to gods Stark level genius who built an AI in her basement with nothing but human ingenuity and science. Saint actually helped cover for her and supplied her, although he thought she was developing anti-AI heuristic viruses, so...

The author implied this misunderstanding would cause so many problems down the road when Taylor discovered and reactivated the AI, along with her mother's old notes.
 
He was somewhat almost helpful in More than meets the eye, by killing dragon so her autobot backup could come online and grind his face into the ground

By Jove... I read the manga and haven't watched the anime yet. Now I feel as if I should have done the reverse in order to the the most enjoyment out of it.

The anime is fun and the manga is even more FUN, eh ensou?

Guh. And again i'm reminded that volume 9 wont be released stateside until January 10th.

Looking forward to further updates from you ensou.
 
Won't get her this turn. but hopefully in another 6 months
The license ends at the end of December and Wargaming is partnering with a different anime, so no ARP events in 2017. Dunno if they'll partner with them again in 2018+.

That's why for December they are doing a mega event for people who missed some of the past ones. I don't think they'll give another chance for Takao directly after her event tho.
