Plot: Japan has developed a nuclear submarine together with the US. While the US provided most of the weaponry, the tech and craft came from Japanese hands. A Japanese crew is trained by the US military so they can operate the sub, but on their first mission the commander seizes control over the vessel.

A manga adaptation that comes from a time when submarine movies were still popular. This isn't a bad attempt, mind. The pacing is pleasant and there's a nice mix of action and political thriller elements, but this isn't a fully-fledged feature film (more of a TV special if I understand correctly).
The quality of the animation is decent but nothing too special, the story feels familiar (though there are some interesting touches), and the runtime is acceptable. It's fine filler, especially for people who appreciate the pre-2000 anime aesthetic, but it's hardly essential viewing.
