| the airfield princess looked cool. i didn't really care for the battle in this episode tbh. |
 |
| I got goosebumps |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Fubuki will scuttle Akagi instead of Maikaze. KTKM is dead, rip. |
 |
| Damn, that episode went by so fast I was honestly angry and thought it was shortened lol. That Nagato x Mutsu scene made me doki. Now I'm gonna have to search for all the doujin. Kitakami didn't sink... right? I'd hate to see Oicchi's reaction to that when the battle is done. Her death was heartbreaking, realizing Oicchi wasn't there and then... boom. Akagi should be okay so I'm not worried about her, but that scream at the end made me tense up. And next episode is the last? Well, if this IS selling very well, we'll probably get a movie, or an OVA... hopefully a second season. I need more. |
| Oh man people are in trouble. I was actually shaking a bit through most of that second half. So who gets sunk this episode? is it confirmed? Or will we have to wait to see the damage? |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| I don't think Akagi is going to be saved. It just doesn't make any sense for Fubuki to save her, and they better not pull that bs to alter the 'fate' of Akagi. |
| MI Mission Akagi Sunk that kuso TTK |
 |
| Oh god, my nerves were tense during this episode, more than I wanted it to be. A bit dumb to leave the escort behind, it seemed like Nachi carried another mission paper. A broken bow is so lame during a battle, oh no. can't she just throw the arrows in the air? I still doubt they will show us more than one death ship next episode, maybe everyone will get massive damages. I can imagine Fubuki shooting down the bomb last minute to save her friend, but also the opposite... I looked more like Kitakami-san gave up on living instead of evading the torpedos |

Different character. The loli one you saw is Northern Princess AKA Hoppou-chan. Fabienne said: A bit dumb to leave the escort behind.

It's a lose-lose situation. -Reflects how the in-game mechanics works, Moderate damage (shown by visual damage of the clothes and rigging) will make them not able to launch their planes. Just for the sake of the argument, what if that arrow needs a certain amount of speed before transforming? That explains why throwing at it with bare hands is impossible. This is also supported by the plane mechanics of other Aircraft carriers that doesn't use a bow and arrow. For example, Ryuujou/Junyou/Hiyou (Not in the anime). These 3 Carriers uses Shikigami as planes, and their means of making them fly is by using a magic scroll. There's only one exception the the whole rule, but that might be a spoiler. |

Well in a good situation 4 big carriers can probably protect themself when having enough fighers in the sky. In history the fleet could shoot most planes down of the first waves, but not the dive bombers in the end since they were at a higher altitude. In the Game it's still better to have supporting ships that have decent AA abilities. Ah that makes sense, I mainly felt sorry for Akagi that she was rendered useless just because of a broken bow string, her flight deck was also messed up, but otherwise she could have had at least supported the comrades who could still fight. |

| Pretty obvious (95% sure) Fubuki is going to save Akagi. Why else would the admiral specifically ask her to be remodeled and be her escort only to fail her mission. Don't really see this series ending on a tragic note. It would really surprise me if she does die though lol |
| Ooi will have a heroic BSOD..xD Thumbs up for Yoshino-sensei. |
| I want just one Abyssal to say something. |
 |
Finally.........  Some love   |
 |
| Please all sink already. |
 |
| What an intense episode. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

| Pretty gripping episode despite that cliffhanger timing. >_< Death flags were everywhere in the first half of the episode and, considering how much Akagi's group is in deep shit right now, I do see some of the girls sinking. Hopefully Yamato's group can get there and help in time, but it might be too late to save all of them. D= |
| Akagi's death flag everywhere in this episode. She's definitely will not die there not yet, maybe. We know that Fubuki will definitely come to the rescue. Obvious plot device is obvious. Let's see if they can surprise me in the next episode if they try different gimmicks or something. |
 |
| Here some theories from my wild guess: 1. That "fate" Akagi's called maybe their WWII history that drag their future to similar fate. As we know, Kanmusu are the soul of the IJN fleet which means they can still fight that fate and change their future, ofc that's not easy as they're subconciously dragged by that fate. 2. The Admiral noticed that to avoid repeat their greatest lost in the Battle of Midway, which is inflicting devastating and irreparable damage on the IJN in the WWII history, he need great Anti-aircraft which is lack that time. That's why he persistent to remodelled Fubuki to her Kai Ni ASAP and mentioned that Fubuki is the key to success on the upcoming operation. 3. He also know that the enemy know their code, which IJN didnt know, so he do it more carefully (maybe something to do with the secret mission order that Nachi hold). Anyway.. I wonder who's screaming Akagi's name in the last scene? Is that Fubuki? |
| I'm guessing Akagi and the girls are actually in a game, and the history they're talking about is the true Naval history as per our history books. I'm also guessing that Bukki will indeed save the day with her upgrades and change the course of "history". Then they'll beat the Abyssals and alls well will end well. Then, at end we'll have the world zoom out to some Otaku wearing an admiral's suit playing KaneColle on his console/mobile phone/etc. the show will end and we'll all realize that it was all just a game. Now that would be a great troll. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Please no more deaths DAMMIT I want to see more loli squad T-T but there is only 1 more episode |

| That was intense, holy shit that cliffhanger! |

Fiji said: This episode has been really dark so far. I really dont want to see an asspull... but it looks like it would be something like that. Still I liked the episode. If somebody is dying it should be done right. I do suspect an asspull coming from Fubuki since shes been practicing in shooting down aircraft in the last eps. but if not... wow Dx |
 |
| Fuuuuuucking cliffhangers! Yeesh can't wait for next episode now. Been a great series. |
| the carrier fleet is in great danger. |
 |
| Yamato in real combat!? Finally that is going to happen Nice "calm before the storm" episode although I'm still disappointed with Fubuki's unchanged appearance after remodeling. |

| It was a wrong move to leave Fubuki behind. I mean why train her for AA battle when you're not gonna use it? Since she's remodeled her AA is improve because of the equipped fire director. I believe Fubuki will come to the rescue since this has happened before when she left Zuikaku and Shoukaku and manage to save them by following her instincts. We haven't show Fubuki's AA capabilities yet, but it might be possible to shoot that bomb before it hits. About Kitakami, if they follow history, she will be okay since she survived the battle of midway. |

| Am I the only surprised that we've made it to the last episode without seeing Shimakaze's battle-damaged look? |
 |
| Overall the episode is interesting. Narration very focused on the upcoming battle, perhaps a bit too fast in the first part of the course. The plot still has blind spots not well clarified, I hope you get to understand them well before the end. Opponents a bit too anonymous and not very present in history, greater participation in events and a better characterization, both in terms of character design that purely on the character, would make them much more interesting. Not bad however the construction of the main characters, starting with Fubuki. Yamato makes her look good when it falls in battle. Drawings and animations in the media, sets inconspicuous, very catchy soundtrack. |
 |
| Omg that ending...cliffhanger! I hope Akagi will be okay. :( |
| Well, Yamato didn't show up because she had to return to the base because she's hungry. :I |
Battletick said: If Akagi doesn't sink I'm going to be passed. If luck is on our side, then they will hopefully all end up as scrap. |
|
| Psh Akagi won't sink. If she does then Fubuki's development "the key to victory" will be all for naught. And you know...season 2. /denial Oh and RIP fairies T___T And that girl/shadow after Yamato launched. Initially I thought it's just Mutsuki wishing her friends luck but reading through this thread...yeah that might actually be Taihou. Why would they introduce Taihou so late in the season? :D |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Some intense battle there on the second half of the episode :D While i hope akagi won't sink next episode, i do want some ships to sink in this battle. I mean this is the final battle and even nagato said it can change the tide of the war but there's no casualties? Overall great episode, can't wait to watch the final episode next week. |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| Akagi and Kitakami better not sink. I don't want to see Fubuki and Ooi cry. |
| Where is plot armor when you need it? |
 |
| Let the waifus hit the floor. Let the waifus hit the floor. |
| Nagato: "This operation will change the tide of the war." Me: You guys have been winning up until now, you don't WANT the tide to change. I mean, I do because history and all, but still. But alas, next episode will likely have Fubuki saving the day with the power of friendship. Though Akagi's probably still going to buy the farm. |
| Things are a mess there, many ships...I hope Akagi don't die =/ but I guess Fubuki is going to be the one to save her. |
 |
| Go America! |
 |
| I think this was the best episode yet. Akagi needs to snap out of it, tho I am 100 percent sure Fubuki will come and save her. |
 |
| Great episode! It seems Akagi still has some bad memories of what happened in the past. Fubuki can now drink and eat much bigger now :O Didn't know Nagato and Mutsu were sooo close :D Akagi snap out of it!! I hope Fubuki will be able to come and save her. Where the hell is Yamato their strongest warship!?! Last episode. Gonna be intense! |
| That was awesome! the way Battleship Yamato departs! Akagi: "Changing one's destiny is impossible after all" oh noes! One more episode to go! |
 |
| Very intense cliffhanger! Let's see what the last episode of this first season will offer us! |
