Argevollen English Sub & Dub

About Argevollen

Looking for background on Argevollen (Shirogane no Ishi: Argevollen)? This action and mecha series by Xebec (2014) starts out like this. The setup: The Realm of Arandas alliance and the Countries Unification of Ingelmia have been at war for many years. The fortress of the Great Wall has remained firmly closed, but when it creaks open, the complexion of the war sets off to change dramatically.

Soon after, a new recruit, Susumu Tokimune, is waiting for his first fight. He takes the lead without thinking of the possibility of being trapped, and has a fatal encounter with engineer Jamie Hazaford and the Silver Trailkrieger, Argevollen. The encounter takes place in a corner of the realm where fighting has become the norm.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Xebec, so the studio's house style defines how Argevollen looks and moves on screen. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2014, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
