CATDOLL: The original battleship "Hiei" in the movie "Arpeggio of Blue Steel -ARS NOVA- DC" has been confirmed to be voiced by M.A.O.

The naval battle-themed animated theatrical version of "Arpeggio of Blue Steel - ARS NOVA - DC", which will be released in January next year, broke new news today. The Mist Fleet battleship "Hei" that has just appeared in the comics has been confirmed to appear in the theatrical version. The magazine announced the character design and voice actor selection, and M·A·O, whose popularity is rising rapidly, will voice Hiei.

Friends who have read the original manga should know that Hiei and other battleships only appeared in the last few chapters, so the content of the movie can be said to be very close to the original. In addition, I don’t know if you have noticed the armband on Hiei’s arm, "Student Council", which gives Hiei the attribute of a student council president. Although it is very appropriate...how to express it is also one of the highlights of the movie.

The magazine also announced that the mini album "Blue Snow" sung by Trident will be released on January 28th.
