| suprisingly good episode! for the first quarter i was kinda like meeeh :/ but the second half managed to grab me and the plot kinda bedded in and set up nicely, i know its a completely different setting but for some reason i think of suisei no gargantia while watching this, which isn't a bad thing at all, loved that show! also dare i say, a good ED, sat and watched it all so must have been catchy! looking forward to the next few eps and hope it picks up and moves on! great start! |
| Holy shit that OP was amazing! (NANO FTW!) That being said, the OP (which happened at the end) was the best part in my opinion. Everything just felt rushed to me (second half was way better than the first half), but I'm still going to continue watching of course because you cant judge a series by its first episode! =p Oh and the CG didn't bother me at all. It felt like I was watching a video game clip. xD |
 |
| Pretty good for first episode,maybe it's just me but the animation sometimes looks quite strange,the same for faces,just look at those 2 girls who appeared in the end xD Still it's very good,the plot looks very cool and that OST! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| The concept and setting is quite interesting but the CGI just puts me off and the slow pacing of the episode also annoys me, this is going to be quite difficult to watch... |
 |
| CGI of peace... I've seen 10/10 anime with 60-80% CGI, so it doesn't bother me that much... hopefully this alien loli's + warships doesn't disappoint like 99% of jailbait + mechs out there |
 |
| The CG needs some getting used to. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| The CG is noticeable but not as jarring as the start of Kingdom. Interesting premise but really how much can be solved in a mere 11 more episodes? Not much I think. |
 |
| So,this is basically a mecha anime but with ships? Looks alright so far. |
| I've put off rewatching this for far too long. Oh wow, it aired last year this very season. I'm going to assume the rumors are true and that Gunzou's dad sent Iona. |
  |
| Ew. This CGI is absolutely disgusting. This is unwatchable. |
| The CGI looks good on some shot and ot very good on others. Then again I am not used to a whole show being CGI. This is a first for me. I'll probably get used to it. I really like the show so far. Battleships! |
| Dropped I can't stand CGI |
 |
| This was really good, I will continue to watch this one. |
| Good and interesting first episode! The CGI looks pretty decent for the most part, though it did occasionally look pretty bad, overall though, very solid episode. |
| 6-7 minutes in, someone asks "what is the purpose of your existence?". This is going to be interesting... So many people complaining about CG here, but I was totally fine with what I saw. Regarding gender imbalance and fanservice... I think they are trying to appeal to multiple groups; some people need fanservice, some people need action, some people need a good story etc.. They are just putting all of these into the same anime; nothing wrong with that. |
| What's the point of all this? // There's no point. I'm doing it because I can. That's all there is to it. // What will be left behind after this? // Nothing at all. She'll die and I'll burn out. The end. That's all. (Requiem for the Phantom) |
| Not the best premiere episode but definitely not the worst. The main character seems a bit stiff in terms of personality but I hope it improves. Warship girls were cute I guess. 3/5 |
 |
| IS THAT FUCKING LUCIO?????? |
  |
| The world building so far has been great, I'm excited to know more about the world and the Fog This show uses CGI for the characters' movement!? I'll just have to see how fitting it will be, so far it's not bad. Corrosive Torpedo = Fucking Blackhole kind of torpedo... Got it! Typical kind of meeting between MC and the heroine... Gunzou can ride Iona all day and night long, she's his ship after all! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) In this world, the 3 sizes are Length, Beam and Draft Wait, on the OP, there was some German sentences on Iona (Submarine Mode) ! Does that mean that the Fog was all created by the Germans with their superior technology and engineering! Is Iona the future type Bismark or something? |

| Got caught of guard by the promising setting... I m laughing hard each time Iona says she wants to be boarded by the MC, shippings manifestating as girls, I know the mangaka was a perv, but this is what I signed in for. Enjoyable first episode, next one, another hot chick appears! |
 |
| Didn't expect the characters to be in CGI... for the story so far it's ok/fine I guess, but I really like that boat-girl, it's original xD |
