ARGEVOLLEN English Sub & Dub

About ARGEVOLLEN

ARGEVOLLEN (白銀の意思 アルジェヴォルン) arrives as an action anime by Xebec (2014), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: Tokimune Susumu has every reason to distrust the military and question orders. His sister has already died in the service of the Arandas military, and his hidden reason for enlisting is to ferret out the truth behind her unexplained death.

Further in, when a civilian convoy is in jeopardy and his own fight mech is destroyed, Susumu's all too ready to break ranks and jump into the cockpit of the experimental Argevollen. What he isn't expecting, however, is that activating the Argevollen conforms it to his mind alone. Now he's on the frontline of the ongoing meat-grinder that the war between Arandas and Ingelmia has become, and his only certain ally is an attractive civilian contractor whose reasons for being in the war are as convoluted as.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Jamie Hazaford (Saori Oonishi) and Ukyou Samonji (Hiroshi Tsuchida) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 24 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal
