| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- INTENSE. I knew two Fog Battleships would of been hard to deal with but damn. The CGI felt a bit awkward to watch but the impact was intense. Haruna was pretty badass. That was some battle though. |
 |
| Wow! That was so awesome! :D The action and tactics were intense!! ^^ Loved Dem strategic counterattacks. Gunzou and the crew are really fun ^^ Dat Kirishima!! Dat Body *A*...HOT! She had quite a few personality issues though lol. Too bad she's gone :( And damn! Haruna was hiding such a Dynamite body under her dress XD...I thought she was a loli but boy was I wrong XD |
 |
| Oh man that was epic the fight scenes were terrific and the Cgi Has improved a lot from the first ep Although i recon some of people are going to be disappointed because of a certain important ship and important characters were not shown from the manga. me being one as well although for some strange reason it is not affecting me as such as i thought it would Cmon Funimation, Sentai anybody license this show already its one i defiantly want for my collection pls :( |

| yeaaa.... it just seemed like they were too lazy to animate the hakugei. other wise great episode. |
  |
| Intense battle! So much explosions and strategies. Like how the battle played out. Just when you think it's over. Boom. A missile comes out of no where. Loved how the battled ships blew up. Very realistic. Haruna reminds me of Golden Darkness and Kirishima. She had a body and an ass. To bad she's dead. Wonder how Kongou will take the news. Hope the crew get some down time after this. Haruna has great taste in underwear. |
 |
| This episode was amazing! |
| Well that wall didn't last long. Whenever the super gravity canons are used the fights get really strange. So the little girl found Haruna who managed to save Kirishima's mental core. I'm surprised Haruna is still alive even though her body was destroyed. That is one odd end card. |
| Wow, I'm really curious what kind of a mess will come out of the story later if they decided to remove Hakugei. I guess they can just make up rest of the story already and wrap this up in these 12 episodes. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| A battle against two battle cruisers and a very exciting one at that it was also different from the manga this time and i really liked it, there where many similarities tho. Kirishima took to much rusk and Haruna followed despite her calm judgement, it was obvious Kisishima did most of the fighting here and let herself be tempted most by Chihiya's tactics. The ending of the fight was surprising. The ending of the episode was like in the manga and looking forward to next week already with the things that are to come. |
| So thats whats under that coat.... |

| Even after all that Evangelion, I don't think I've seen an explosion like this before. |

| That was pretty epic CG there. I knew what was under coat but Haruna body animated was nice ^^ so no Hakugei this episode? but the rest was awesome so I can forgive. Need MOAR Takao! |
| I thought that was spectacular. cgi use getting better and better since first episode. Getting a little interested in reading the manga too, after this episode. |
 |
| Shame about Kirishima. She was a total babe. |
| It was an Epic fight. I'm loving these fight sequences. CG graphics don't bother me at all. Actually i think they make the battles scenes more fluid and robust. In one respect it was nice of them to change the story a bit. Outside of the final outcome i didn't know what was going to happen. It deviated greatly from the manga. The down side of the is that the anime is cutting out a lot of the manga storyline. Otaku really don't like it when you do that. I don't know why they're doing this. save money perhaps. I highly recommend the anime watcher to read the manga. I think the plot has a lot more substance the anime is showing. Even though i think the manga storyline is better I'm still enjoying the anime. |
| Nice battle. Caught me off guard a bit seeing Haruna half naked in the end. |
 |
| haha why is she in her undies in the end. how does that even make any sense. man i wish the chars werent in 3d models. shouldve did it like the machine doll anime - a mixture of 3d/animation. |
    |
| Submarine harem was awesome this weak again. I'm loving the fight sequences. |
 |
| its really unfortunate that they changed so much. i think they are humanizing the fog too much. but this works too. |
cyruz said: Even after all that Evangelion, I don't think I've seen an explosion like this before. aaahahahaha, now that you have mentioned it. xD pretty good cgi btw. most of the time i didnt really notice it or better say i didnt care about that its cgi. there are far worse cgi movies and stuff out there i think. |
| Intense episode.. love it. |
| Kirishima was a pretty crazy one, and in the end she was afraid of being destroyed. They all underestimated the humans, or how Iona has a captain, and it's unfortunate for them :/ That was a great battle to watch, and especially seeing the mental models and their views on things. And that last scene...Haruna in her underwear? |
| Not because of how good she looked in her underwear at the end, but I really like Haruna, she is quite an interesting character. |
 |
| I wished both of them would join Gunzou's submarine D: |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| The CG really makes the battle scenes look and feel amazing. I can't get enough of all the tactics that Gunzou comes up with in such a short amount of time. Also, random fan service at the end lol. |
| That was really good. I feel bad for Hakugei haha. Well we only have 12 episodes so I guess they want to just focus the action on 1 ship. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| This show is so good It was almost biblical when Haruna and Kirishima split open the sea Only to get totally pumped by that sly missile Totally awesome episode, even better than the battle with Takao |
| I was bit disappointed that they didn't follow the manga here but overall the battle was intense. That ending.... The anime's cg seems like it's getting better and better. It did seem like star wars. xD THe music and the cataclysmic explosion was awesome. |
| Disappointing how it didn't follow the manga properly, really would have liked to see the Hakugei. Other than that pretty decent |
| Why is Kirishima so perfect? Also, dat ass. Really a shame she had to die. I really like Gonzou and his smart choices for the fights, that's why this show is so good. Btw, it's quite strange but I fairly enjoyed the fanservice. NEED MORE TAKAO TAKAO WHERE ARE YOU TAKAO |
 |
| These battles are pretty damn nice, I'll tell you that much! I'm having a blast with this anime and I didn't expect this at all. Haruna has a pretty nice body and her choice of underwear is pretty good too, what I did find a little weird was that she had no other clothes under that coat of hers. |

| I remain very impressed by this series, and it's sad to think I almost didn't pick it up. Even though the strategy itself wasn't terribly complex (at the end, it was one sneak attack that made the difference), they way they presented the execution makes it fairly convincing whereas in other series this type of strategizing might seem forced. I'm also pretty glad that both Haruna and Kirishima are alive, although I'm not quite sure how "alive" Kirishima is after she's reduced to a core. This was an epic battle. I don't know how they're going to top that. Given how things have worked out so far though there's much to be hopeful for. |
| That was another great tactical battle. They shut down two Fog ships this time. Damn. I wonder how can they make the other battles more interesting now. |

Kurogashi said: Basically, that's all that she was wearing under the coat. They should explain next episode.haha why is she in her undies in the end. how does that even make any sense. man i wish the chars werent in 3d models. shouldve did it like the machine doll anime - a mixture of 3d/animation. As for the ep, I guess I can accept the cast (and ship) reduction they appear to be doing here, but it may also affect some later battles, so there's a big question of what they'll do then. Well, at least it'll be harder for anyone to harp about harems when there aren't enough members . . . |
| I was realy sceptical about this batttle as Hakugei was key for Gunzou strategy, but having him use that wreck as replacement... Not bad thinking at all. I don't mind changes as long as it's well handled, which definitely happened here. Sexy Kirishima was also nice suprise. |
| Man, I didn't know Submarines were so good. I gotta start saluting them. |
| Can't help but be reminded of Lelouch because of that epic strategist of an MC.. nice episode. |
 |
| Kirishima is great. Now lets hope she can turn into this design in the manga soon :D The author put her with this costume in the cover, yet she never actually wear it in the story. And up to this point, probably the comparison with manga is pointless and better to start thinking of it as alternative retelling. Seeing the transformation in animation is a lot easier, not to mention the clear distinction between blue, green and yellow marking on the ships. Can't see that in B&W print. BTW, backtracking to previous episode. Is Maya located closer to Kongou ? |
| In a way this series is amazing.. making battleship war so boring and bland. Maybe it's because of the flat, boring, and pretty much gary stu characters. The fog battleships are disappointing me, it's like they are really, really dumb. Without the superior technology they'd be nothing but pretty faces. I can't believe humanity lost to such a disorganized, easily deceived enemies. |
 |
| I just love it when crazy, overconfident and over the top characters like Kirishima get owned. I also found it funny how she admonished human emotions then went "I don't want to die yet!" herself. Overconfidence became her downfall to say the least, I hope she's not coming back. But Haruna survived and that makes me glad! I like Haruna. And dayum! I did NOT expect her to have such a bomb-ass body. I'm curious as to why Kirishima turned into that object while Haruna still has her body (I'm not complaining though!). Both ships were destroyed right? Shouldn't Haruna have turned into one of those things aswell? Another great episode with awesome tactics. I've finally gotten used to the CG. |
| I really don't like the idea of Mental Models having such defined personalities. But maybe that's why they're called "mental" models - models of a way of thinking. Anyone notice Haruna's "interface" is written in C? XD |
Obihiro said: I really don't like the idea of Mental Models having such defined personalities. But maybe that's why they're called "mental" models - models of a way of thinking. Anyone notice Haruna's "interface" is written in C? XD There is actually a very good explanation for that later in the manga though it does open up a whole new mystery |
| Impressive naval tactics and battles again It's like a fantasy drawn out from the classic board game The use of the old sunken city was clever Kirishima's fanservice and Haruna's (at the end) wasn't really needed Takao is all what's needed :P |
