Ark IX official website

Story
The world has been divided into two halves by a giant wall to prevent the epidemic of "Dark mist". In order to shelter the refugees, artificial cities called "Arks" were built. Shido Enishi is a private detective, who works at the ninth Ark. One day, he is asked to capture a burglar. The seemingly simple case leads him to a great conspiracy.

What does "Dark mist" means? Is it poisonous? and why does spiting the world could solve the epidemic (*゚ロ゚)
I have a feeling the background story would be hard for me to understand .

Seems like the LN is new, so there isn't much source material to animate.

Then they should have waited until they had enough.

It won't hurt to check out the OVA (assuming it gets subbed); it sounds promising.

I'll watch it if this is true, if it's not, I'd have to think about it.

Ha, kinda sounds like a plot from a VN more than from a LN. It also reminds me of Inganock, which might be why I think it sounds VN-ish. Anyway, it does sonud interesting, but I don't like watching OVAs so I'll probably ignore it. I hope it gets an actual anime some day.

Sounds interesting, too bad its not a full series. Maybe it'll turn into one if the OVA's successful enough?

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

Ninja in the future maybe?
It's and OVA so might as well watch it when it comes out.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

Sounds interesting. Though with it just being an OVA I can't say that I will remember to watch it.
