If you never heard of it before, Ar nosurge is a prequel of sorts to the Ar tonelico series and direct continuation to Ciel nosurge. Considering the latter is not even available to the North American region (or any place that speaks English), diving into Akira Tsuchiya’s work centering around the themes of bonds, understanding, life, and relationships is a pretty dense experience in numerous ways. Finally finishing it in all of its entirety, I can say it is whirlwind of a ride, but only a meaningful one for those well-versed in the material.
