Personally Takeo is my favorite, tho Haruharu is a close second, especially when she's all moe and helpless without her heavy coat.

Not sure what was more surprising:
1) the coincidence that 401 was found the day after we watched our 401 (sniff, Iona) get sunk, or
2) Iona's super speed burst apparently carried her 3,850 miles :-)

Edit: Ah, forgot to add my two cents on this thread: I am voting for Kirishima, the scene where she slowly drags her hand from her exposed thigh to her lips was the most erotic thing I have seen in animation, let alone this series.

It's hard to have a favorite ship girl IMHO.

Takao, Kirishima and haruna basically steal the show. Kongou is great too considering she has to play the bad guy. I would vote Kongou as best played character.

I think the 13 episodes didn't leave enough time to develop the girls enough so you end up with the girls who got the screen time: Basically haruna and Takao, and maybe kirishima.

Iona's conversation with kongou in ep 9 felt really forced because iona didn't ever really get that developed because she never really had much personality in the anime. In the manga IONA is totally different from her anime cousin, she's also able to clone herself.

I think iona's voice actress killed iona as a character personally. The voice actress of iona tries to sound dollish and computer ish and unfortunately this gives her no personality whatsoever. Her whole whining to kongou in the last episode (9) just felt really out of place and fake because of her lack of character development.

It's clearly between Tsundere Heavy Cruiser Takao and HaruHaru. Love them to bits.

Actually, it was the I-400 that they found off the coast of Ohau. The I-401 was already discovered back in 2005. Not in good shape, unfortunately.

Ok how about this than it is an historical irony that I-400 Was rediscovered exactly at the same time when the I-400 As in the vessel itself made its debut. if that isnot fate than i dont know what is

Fvck. Takao of course. All of the other mental models are just meh in terms of figure and personality.

And I would like to repeat my shout-out:

When Iona learned more of the patterns, she'll realize that the strongest love rival is the one who is dead.
Takao, you will live on forever in his heart




Ah... Takao's figure pre order is sold out already.
Contemplating about ordering Kongou, she's going to be released on Febuary

If you mean childish blondie and ojou with necktie, they are U-2501 (germen submarine commanded by Gunzou father man) and Ise (third in command in Kongou fleet) respectively.
