| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yes Takaooooooo. Lol, she's still there. Well not in the best shape I guess but I'm glad she still exists. Dat tsundere cruiser. I kinda liked Gunzou's determination this episode as well, gotta get the job done! The enemy fog ships are pretty intense. 400 and 402 sometimes confuses me between the duo... This is definitely going to end with an anime original episode, looking forward to finale! Oh and I feel sorry for Kongou ;.; |
 |
| Dat epic wipe out at the start was so awesome!! Mowed them down epically!! Nice to see Takao again \(^o^)/...She's as lively and tsundere as usual :D Gunzou deciding to face the 2 sisters head on like a boss was awesome. Poor Iona. How those 2 died without showing any emotions to be mentioned is pretty creepy. The end though O_O! Dat Kongou flagship O_O...Did fusing with Maya make that hugeass thing?? Well they're pretty damn screwed right now. A pretty good climax for the finale imo so can't wait for the final battle and definitely wouldn't mind a 2nd season seeing as how they have no idea what the American fog fleet is like? :D |
 |
| Huh Takao is alive i suspect as much her physical body is gone but her core is still intact so her consciousness is still intact, although i was worried because this is going an anime route i didnt know what to expect Yeah that new ship of there's is pretty powerful, 22 Nagara Class cruisers and all of them sunk with one graviton cannon shot. Looks like those 2 subs got what they deserved although i do feel kind of bad for them expecially with iona and how she felt about sinking them. Indiana, Iowa, Virginia, Delaware and Lexington class fog ships Wow are we actually going to see American class fog ships this is a first we havent even seen them in the manga yet and what about mental models? Oh my Kongou i Knew she most likely going to lose it but damn a freaking Death Star this anime series is full of surprises You know that i think about ith 1 ep left there is no way they are going to reach america in time first of all they got kongou to fight second they just left Japanese waters and need to reach Hawaii to supply ad than go to San Diago and the fact they just threw in American class fog ships who's to say if they have mental models or not or new characters to be introduced there is just no way this series is going wrap up all of this in 1 ep even if it is going an an anime original route it needs more episodes what do u guys think about this ? |
| Dude, having Maya sing out "It's a Carnival!" constantly would be a more effective torture than waterboarding... |
 |
| Wow, haven't thought that I would feel so bad for the sisters :( |
| Good episode. Happy to see Takao still alive. Thought the fight with 400 and 402 would have last longer. I was a little confuse when they got defeated. Did they start developing feeling? I know Kongou was losing her mind being chained up on the ship. When Maya started singing carnival over and over I just knew she was going to snap. Now Kongou is looking like Death Star out there. Final episode next week. Wonder how they are going to end it. "Maya... This is... our... carnival!" |
 |
| So the US fog intercept the 401 with an entire fleet complete with flagships and all and if that wasn't hard enough Kongou who seems to have merged with Maya is also after them. 401 will have a hard time shaking those of. The battle with 400 and 402 was short but made a nice impact especially the scenes around the table where nicely done. And it seems even they where effected in the end by the changes in the fog. Things will get interesting next episode will it end or will there be a possibility for a second season. PS Was it just me or does 401's new form looks a lot like a shark. |

| Tsundere Heavy Cruiser lives, all's right with the world. I get the feeling that death Star Kongou is going to eliminate the American fleet of the Fog for them in a breathtaking display of power and madness. Are we going to get a second season? At least a Takao OVA please! |
| Woa, even without reading the manga it smells like a filler here. No way these two submarines sank like that. And what the hell with that fortress ? Am I in Strike Witches ?! |
 |
| Pretty sure Kongou has lost her sanity. What was that huge blob that she has created with Maya?? Im sooooooooo glad that Takao is still here tooo. Cant wait till next week! |
My Candies:     |
| Aww...I'm a little sad that the sisters are gone. Oh well... |
| OMG Takao's not dead. Kongou sure is pissed. Looks like a major battle next episode Can't wait. |
 |
| Oh boy, having to sink her siblings, Poor Iona. Wait, Kongou is still a ship right ? That lookedlike some badass cannon. Was that Kancolle in the end card illustration ? |
| was that a death star in end? |
| dank meme |
| Hahaha, dat epic super-gravity-cannon bang shot was amazing!! Takao is alive and kicking it. That ending is simply cliffhanging climax... can't wait till next week. |
| American fleet will get mowed down by Kongou. Give an excuse for the staffs to not spend time to make their models :D It's funny they could mistake the ships as human fleet before the graviton reaction though. All of them are retired decades before the first war against the Fog. -ShadowClaw- said: There's also no good reason to sacrifice her core. She only need to give her hull. Destroying her own core brings no merit at all.Huh Takao is alive i suspect as much her physical body is gone but her core is still intact so her consciousness is still intact, although i was worried because this is going an anime route i didnt know what to expect 402 seems to be still alive. The graviton explosion has ended and it only consumed parts of her fore. It forced her to stop because she can't do damage control fast enough, breaks out of the engagement and escaped the more fatal blow that hits 400. Iona also don't stop her recovery, so she can rearrange herself and back to operational... hopefully after Kongou flied pass her. |
| whoa. I'm relieved to see Takao alive and kicking... and those loli sisters sure is hard headed... and Kongou too... |
 |
| Not that I'm complaining at all about the amount of content we've had in the past couple of episodes, but I was glad to see the OP back in this episode. And Takao! lol "go toward the light" I can't wait for the finale. Second season too, please. |
 |
| That was pretty damn epic! First the merged Iona/Takao ship takes down 20 ships with a single raking blast of its supergrav cannon, then a strategic battle with the evil sub twins. I felt sorry for poor Iona, it clearly hurt her to distract her 'sisters' in the mental realm while Gunzou used his tactical mastery to eliminate them both. Loved the part where Kongou shattered the chains that were binding her and merged herself with the brainless Maya, and somehow turned into a flying Death Star dirigible type thing. She probably had to absorb the whole fleet in order to get that much mass built up. I agree that she'll probably wind up wiping out the American fog ships so that they don't have to fight both forces at once, and Iona and Gunzou can take down the Death Star for the grand finale. Been an awesome series, especially the last few episodes. Can't wait to see how it all turns out! Second season please! |
| Kongou fused with Maya :O Hyuga's reactions :P That was a good fight, but Iona must feel horrible after sinking her sisters. Only one episode left :( |
| A tear was about to be shed when that sad music played after Haruna commented on Takao's sacrifice. Laughed so hard when Takao reappeared in all her tsundere glory. Haruna and Kirikuma trolling her was also hilarious XD Haruna: Oh you're there? Kirikuma: Go towards the light. LMAO. Can't believe I actually feel bad 400 and 402 got sunk. I thought at least 402 could be saved now that she's actually displayed an obvious change by protecting 400. Poor Iona :( Kongou Death Star. So she really is the final boss. Last episode next week. I'm really hoping for a second season. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| 402 seemed to have gained some humanity seeing as how she sacrificed herself to saved 400. Dat ending.Thought Kongou and Maya had committed suicide but I guess not. I'm guessing Kongou is going to sink all the other american Fog ships so she can sink Iona herself. |
| Maya and Kongou's fusion looks pretty intense! This wasn't a bad episode! It just feels like every time they have a success, someone else pops up to block their way. I wonder how they are going to deal with the American fog ships. The deaths of 400 and 402 was actually handled in an interesting way... Also, is it just me, or is Iona getting cuter? It's like her eyes are softer now...a physical manifestation of character development maybe? |
| yay Takao not dead |
| I'm glad Takao still exists. and. Dat deathstar at the end. |
 |
| Takao is still alive and they managed to take down 400 and 402. I think they are very close to America , but where did all those fog ships come from? Cannot wait for the next and final episode! Great episode!!! |
 |
| As much as I like where this series is going, I hope they've left room for a second season or something. It's nice to have an adaptation actually do so well and diverge from the source material, but I don't know how sustainable this is in the long run. Sadly, next episode might be the last we see this glorious series... |

| Very pleased that Takao is alive! I hope she gets her body back. As for the battle with the twins, it was pretty underwhelming compared to previous battles. I expected them to put up a better fight but I guess since there's only one ep left they couldn't fit it in and had to rush it a little. |
 |
| This really is a solid anime. I'm glad I picked this up. Looking forward to the finale next week. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| I didn't think I'd get remotely attached to Sisters 400 and 402. Lol now they're going to be facing off against American destroyers, cruisers and battleships. |
 |
| Boom what a wipeout Tsundere Takao lives! Well without a physical form anyway Kongou has lost it. Sad how 400 and 402 were sunk Oh boy, one hell of a battle coming up I'll say it again, Kongou, you've lost it. One more episode :( |
 |
| Kongou has airborne?! I'm pretty sure this ain't StarWars. |
| Angry Kongou is so freaking badass!!! Another hack battle, 400 and 402 launched a gazillion of torpedoes and 401 easily destroyed all of them for whatever reason. 401 launched one torpedo and it instantly hit. Seriously, are the fog always that stupid? for beings more advanced than human technology they seem incapable of reacting quickly to the slightest change.. what kind of super sentient weapon just let a torpedo flew at them without intercepting? are they blind or something? did their sonar break? why the fuck didn't they put their klein field on stand-by instead of waiting for the torpedo to come so close at them? those Nagara ships, why didn't any of them fired that super cannon at 401? This series is only saved by the mental model, it proves that if you put enough cute girls in an anime then people will watch. The main character is bland as hell, the battles are as dumb and hack as can be, not even the beautiful CG can save it from being so one-sidedly stupid |
 |
| I saw only the leftmost (port side of 401 before she turned to engage) Nagara cruiser evading and I can't believe none of the cruisers manage to fire a single shot. I mean, come on. X_x Anyway I'm glad Takao is still around. XD I like this armed decoys concept used to intercept 400 and 402. Kongou is like Agent Smith from Matrix, a renegade program while the Gonzou Fog Fleet are like the converted robot from 'Matriculated' which is part of The Animatrix. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
