THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Quite an interesting mood this episode..not to mention the slice of life vibes again.

I liked how everyone is coming together. Kaga was not amused this episode though especially when it comes to Zuikaku. Seems like there's a lot of arguments going on but it's kinda fun watching Kongou trying to keep things in order. Action was meh but the episode imo was funny.

Fun historical tidbit of the week: Kaga's distaste for Zuikaku stems from two things. First, apparently the sailors and officers who served on Kaga looked down on the sailors from Zuikaku, because apparently they were quite uncouth and rude in comparison to them. Secondly, after the battle of Midway, Shoukaku and Zuikaku became the 1st Carrier Division, which was originally Akagi and Kaga's role.

While 1 DD 1 BB 2 CV 2 CLT is a pretty solid fleet, the actual members involved are so dysfunctional when put together this episode was absolutely hilarious to watch.

DesDiv 6 next week!

Did Fubuki just became flagship? Does Kaga tsun tsun towards Zuikaku?

Fubuki sure got problems at the start. Good thing big sister Kongou is there for her.

What a hilarious episode.

Pretty brave for Fubuki to take the front. In term on of the game, the fleet is not bad. Love it when Kongou was still shouting tea time at night.

Wow, it looks like this new fleet is going to work. And Fubuki becoming the flagship. Totally didn't see that coming, tbh.

Kongou-oneesan! ヽ(;▽;)ノ Haha! Her voice is simply music to my ears, desu! ヽ(^Д^)ノ So glad you're in the same fleet as Fubuki!

Fun episode. I'm actually kinda torn on Fubuki's new fleet. I mean Kaga, Zuikaku and Kitakami I don't particularly mind, but I'm not exactly happy that Ooi is gonna be getting more screentime from this. Girl's just rubbed me the wrong way since her introduction.

At least there's one likable, excitable character in there (Kongou).

So they created a new funny group whit it's own unique problems.
I was convinced that in the end an other ship would walk in introducing themselves as the flagship but Fubuki ended up with the position.
Would have been nice to see an appearance of Yamato or Musashi or maybe another battleship we have not seen yet.
Still i wonder if we will see them at all.

Well it looks like their will be more fighting coming up.
And also some bonding within the new group that was created which should be nice.

So the next battle would be Battle of the Curry Seas. Perhaps it's a reference to the real life "Battle of the Coral Seas"? Those of you who don't mind potential spoilers are welcomed to read it up on Wikipedia.

I liked this episode a lot....Probably the most I've ever enjoyed the SoL moments

Fubaki's new team are a bunch of interesting and funny characters....I wonder what the Admiral was smoking when he put this team together lol

Regardless, I like how they are together....Should be a pretty fun and successful team in the long run and congrats to Fubaki for stepping up...I'm proud of her ^^

Thanks, you too.

And yes, the fleet setup they got going in this episode is actually good in the game. At least for your average map with no particularly strict branching rules.

Kaga: "A fleet of two carriers, two torpedo cruisers, one battleship, and one destroyer is normally impossible, anyway."

KTKM: "So, we thought we should go with an impossible flagship, too."

And if you want the keep that one fragile destroyer in your fleet alive with more ease, then it can be a good idea to make it the flagship. Because it's less likely that the enemy ships will fire at your flagship (your other ships "shield" the flagship a lot of the time basically). Again, that's just in the game.

The newly formed fleet seems quite fun.

Sort of enjoying Ooi letting her other personality slipping out.

Seeing all those conflict already was quite entertaining. That trial and error with them always exploding.

Fubuki's face when thinking about Akagi though.. Kimoippoi indeed! XD

Yuudachi pouting at being left alone by Fubuki and Mutsuki was cute! I never get tired of her -poi and Kongou's "Shit!" XD

The Yuri couple kinda pisses me off, especially Ooi. I hope she gets dumped by Kitakami someday, but that's probably not gonna happen.

Nice seeing Fubuki establishing a sense of unity among the group members. She got some good development this episode.

Decent episode. Next one's title sounds hilarious; "Battle of the Curry Seas!" XD

You walk into a room and see the torpedo lesbians. You turn around and walk out. Not dealing with this shit Ooi's scary as fuck.

Props to Teitoku, for this fleet composition actually makes sense. Two CVs with Reppus on the first 3 slots, dive bombers on the last one to gain certain AS/AS+. Two Torpedo Lesbians for opening torpedo salvos and NB, a BB for second shelling and firepower, and finally a destroyer for aerial cut-ins and ASW. DD as flagship for better survivability.

8/8 would survive Operation FS.

Lol that is somewhat racist...it's the Indian Ocean Raid operation just prior to Midway - around March/April '42, the last major IJN operation that was a very successful. Then Coral Sea then Midway..

Kongou is back :D

their fleet is actually a beast
DD (FS), 2CV, 2 CLT, BB
got everything from air superiority to high opening phase dmg and anti air cut-ins.

would have thought that logically Kongou would be the flagship, but having the DD as flagship helps with survivabilty (Flagship protection).

this will probably result in Bucky getting her kai ni before this series is over.

PS: Kongou best ship dessss~

The new flight composition is quite an interesting one. I'm surprised that Zuikaku is sort of shifting to becoming one of the main characters. (Well it all depends on how long this composition lasts.) Also, Ooi is so gay for Kitakami, of course that was obvious before, but its definitely being amplified here.

On another note, next episode is about Destroyer Division 6, which is a definite plus in my book!

Fubuki having trouble with her new fleet but thank goodness Kongou is there like big sister to our little Flagship destroyer. I was expecting Kaga or Kongou to be flagship, so I was surprise it was her. I think thats good. Them getting exploded was hilarious.

You know you're in trouble when the best idea in the group came from the crazy chick.
I love Fubuki as much as any of the girls (except Ooi, she can go sink in Bravo for all I care), and I'm glad to see her stepping up to do something, but she'd be screwed without Akagi and Kongou.
Akagi seems to get called out on being too laid back compared to the game, but I think she's fine for advice (and has impeccable timing for showing up when she's needed).
And Kongou may be off her rocker, but her appearance has allowed Fubuki to de-stress considerably. I mean how upset can you be with her around? Plus, she inadvertantly had the right idea. They just never showed Fubuki as lead in that fail montage. Doing so and failing over and over allowed Fubuki to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of her teammates though.

Now then, Fubuki, good job honey!
Show those bitches who's boss!

BTW: Joke's on everyone who thought this would be a Kaga-centric episode.
I'm still out on how to feel about her. She's too serious for me, but I don't have any particular reason to dislike her.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

Kinda wasn't expecting Fubuki to become the flagship to be honest. It will be cool to see her become a leader. Though I don't think shes capable of making the hard choices...

Admiral should be ready for a shock when he logged back to the office. Six sorties and big ships getting medium damages
They still hasn't played the joke about sortie and repair draining resource.

Shoukaku calling "escort ships" is a laugh too.

Kitakami won't dump Ooi, she didn't even know Ooi has that kind of feeling towards her :P
