The girls fake Kane leading the Odette II out of port.

They board the Bentenmaru. The real crew panics, but then decided to do what they can to help.

After a few minor mishaps, the girls get the Bentenmaru underway, but then the Military shows up, attracted by the 'noise' they made.

When all else fails, have some sweet snacks and think it over ;)

Geeze I didn't expect such a high caliber beam cannon to be on the Bentenmaru, I'm just no one got destroyed by the accidental fire. All those sweets, I want some.

Yay, Schoolgirls in Space \o/

Loved this episode. Also, we once again got to see human nature: Why ask (or wait for an answer) when faced with an interesting button? Just pressing it will show what it does.

And next episode some schoolgirl pirating. I can't wait :D

Almost perfect episode, probably the best (or at least one of the very best) of the series. Smart, subtle, very well directed and with ever so enjoyable characters.

Good episode

...but the rating is dropping because it doesn't have pew pew action and fanservice.

People don't appreciate this series enough.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

A space slife of life sure isn't getting much attention, too bad because this show is really good and unlike any other.
Great and funny episode this week, loved Guier's reaction at sudden laser firing.

Great series, simply amazing
I loved the details - it would suck if they would just be able to pilot ship simply by being in the club
but this was solved in a nice way... so manual thing and fact that ship was already modified was a nice touch
poor crew - they are probably few years older and cruise has just started

This was a great episode i really liked it how the crew was worried that there ship would break in the hands of the yacht club.
And a pirate ship being piloted by a female crew and there all high school girls that really is like a dream.

The part where they accidentally pressed the canons and fired with them was funny as well tho it got them into trouble and i think Marika will have some explaining to do ones the get back.
It would also have been better if they just told the authority's and the crew that they where taking over the Bentenmarou for a while it would have been less troublesome for the crew.

Give it up. This is MAL we are talking, nothing will change and that is the sad part of it.

That ship Odette II has a pretty nice form but Bentenmaru is better.
So the original crew will be delayed for a while and the yacht club will be messing around with the ship. The funny thing was how everyone was making a manual for the ship but they instantly panicked when Marika announced a jump.

The first thing that came into my mind when the crew accidentally fired that laser.




Dam hilarious episode though, especially when the original crew were freaking out. I know I would if someone were to mess around with my computer or stuff.

Lmfao great episode, laughed alot in this one. Watching the crew members reaction were hilarious, especially Sandaime. Haha omg the Bentenmaru is going to break down the moment they try to launch. They could blow up the engine! I just loved it.

Aww was hoping Marika would end up finding out that the crew is watching and helping them. Would've been funny to see the reaction she has too.

For the love of god are you people shitting me? Are you pretending that is some quality senien instead? It's fucking school-girls playing fake pirates!!
It's true that the series is kind of boring no matter how you try to excuse it. All this episode feel like some kind of fillers and you guys are trying to excuse it by playing the quality critics and that supposedly is too deeep for our bew bew brains when it's as shallow as you can get.
I'm not a hater really and hey the series isn't an abomination, i have some relative fun watching(hell this episode was quite amusing) but people trying to elevate this series in something is not is getting ridiculous.
Yeah lets criticize the bew-bew and faservice for not being deep when we have schoolgirls eating ice-cream and pushing wrong laser canon buttons in a big pirate spaceship. That makes long lot of sense.
This ain't Legend of Galactic heroes, it's ful of silliness. If this episode had fan-service it wouldn't be any different, actually it would fit right in there and maybe make it better because it was hardly serious shit going on that fanservice will ruin the atmosphere of.

No one is saying this series is LoGH, but it has a lower rating than some of the pew pew series I just mentioned. It deserves better.

I'm not saying this series is a masterpiece or even "excellent".

Inb4 I start my own "are you people shitting me" posts in other series. Calm down Monad.

Best episode yet in a show of best episodes. The Bentenmaru crew stole the show this time around. It was fun watching them worry about the ship and at the same time believe in Marika.

Chiaki's face when she saw the sweets was priceless.

My concern's with Marika's worth as a captain are starting to be allayed. Lookin' good.

Good stuff, this went a lot better than I thought it would. I'm glad they addressed the fact that it would be difficult to just jump into the ship and use it just like that. I liked how the crew was supporting them and freaking out.

Crazy how they were able to create a full manual in what like 5-7 minutes O___O

How did they brought all those parfait in the space without splattering all over that container :O

Seems the club members was able to adapt quickly. Crazy really!

Chiaki is such a tsundere. Despite always being embarass, she really does love hanging out with Marika and crew.

Next episode!!
