Hard to say but, Mental models are often seen to eat in manga (Takao, Yamato, Zuikaku ect.), even in anime Maya has sense of taste. On top of that Manga!Takao were able replicate human being on cellular level with her nanomaterials, so it's quite possible they are lot of like humans internaly.

Because they're from nanomaterial, more likely that their inside are either solid, hollow or filled with cavities like monocellular organism.
While they can do it, controlling internal organs would spend up more processing power on something that doesn't really bring them benefit, unlike simulating human's emotion or thought process.

Besides, when damaged in battle, their body breaks to pieces rather than bleed or showing their guts.

I am sure it is not just me who think the "military goddess" Iona in Hyuuga's fantasy is a seiyuu joke referring to her character's famous pose during the snow fight in Girls und Panzer ?


And I ended up going back to watch the episode 2 more times. I particularly love how the CGI managed to portray Takao to look very cute in many scenes and look very sexy in the beach scene. Impressive.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Great episode and cool end card, any idea who the blackhaired girl is? Female Gunzou is my only guess :p


The black-haired girl is also Takao but from a game Kantai Collection, not related to Aoki Hagane. Kantai Collection is getting very popular now so Aoki Hagane uses that to create these mini crossovers.

If there's one thing I've learned from all the Japanese games and anime I've played recently, once the tea cups get put away and the ojou starts posing and boasting about values, tradition, justice, honor and such, run if you aren't the MC. Run as far and as fast as you possibly can cause she's the strongest.

when the ED started playing, i didn't expect to see the girls in their ship forms, that was hilarious. Hyuuga humping Iona was the best scene.

I guess i should give up my hope to see Kirishima's human mental model again.. :(

Wow. Didn't expect that there is Hyuuga too, whose appearance and time was offscreen.

Can't wait to see Kongou, which kinda looks like the "main" leader of the Fog battle it out with Gunzou and 401.

I just grinded thru 40 chapters in 2 days between work so I could tell the diff of the two.

I've concluded that it was for the best that they didn't follow the manga completely or this show would end on a cliffhanger with only 11 episodes.

Plus some of the changes were well executed.

I knew it! She's from Fog as well, wait...that's what Hyuuga looks like? Ughh, I seem to have missed her mental model's appearance last time. O_o >_<

I didn't really like this episode, mostly because of Hyuuga. I found her annoying and unfunny, her behavior was kinda creepy and rapey, and she honestly doesn't fit with the tone of the series thus far. I still like the show overall, but I may be forced to drop it if Hyuuga spends too much time on screne doing things like she did this episode. Also, the anime mischevious cat face thing just looks wrong in CG.

Takao, Takao Takao, and more Takao! I didn't particularly like some of the "comedy effects", felt out of place.

No image stitches? ... let's see if we can fix that later...

Edit: "fixed" ;)

4/5

Episode discrete , one of hilarity before we get into the serious part of the narrative, is not bad, but I when I started I did Arpeggio with the intention of seeing people in action and means that were fighting all the time with moments tragic and reflections comparable to those that can be found in the works of seinen genre . Instead often throws herself on the comic and with too much hilarity , it's not a bad way to unplug every now and then , but being so short the anime has to be fast-paced to the end, even with the addition of some technical section on ships! * _ *
So , where were we ... Ah! The twist was new, I had not noticed where she was most Hyuuga ! XD Not bad .
A bit too much fanservice and mental movies , Kuroko Hyuuga looked at certain times, but her figure is not corrupt output , thanks to the words exchanged at the end with Takao ! : D
Pure Takao, does not make a good impression after that we saw on the bridge with the dakimakura ! ^ ^ "
Animations a little better, but sin is used 3DCG too!
The plot, however, did not stop today and it is good. We came to a showdown! * _ *
The thing that I do not even like this anime is that we talk too much about the girls dellla fog, but then nothing, nothing at all, I think Arpeggio must have at least 26 episodes to be a work worthy of praise! So it will not be if you will have only 12 episodes! D:

I hope they will eventually explain who is the one(s) giving them their orders. Hyuuga asked all the questions i've been wondering about since the series began. Where did they come from? Why are they are here? I really hoping the series would focus more on the mystery of the Fog. I still like this series, but it wasn't want I expecting.

Uhmm....Takao, can I see your "engines" too :3
Takao is just <3 I would definitely tap her hmmm.
So that is how Hyuuga looks, and she seems like a fun character.
Iona is starting to develop some feelings, and some love feelings too.
I am pretty sure that Maya will join the Harem fleet too.
Oh come on Kongou, don't be shy and join the Harem fleet already *^*

So Takao & Iona have feelings for Gunzou :D

I hope that Iona will understand all her feelings.

Takao sleeping with a Gunzou body pillow almost made me spat my drink! I am sure all ship's technicians would love to see her engines...

Here I thought that this egg-shaped robot is some advanced robot that the humans build... Well, I thought wrong and I am glad I did! I was looking forward to seeing this Fog's mental model!

Oh man, it's a classic beach scene with some very nice classic fan service, I wished it was longer though. Takao is the best! (In terms of look so far)

Oh shit... Kongou and some other Fogs are approaching the island! I sense an epic battle about to commence!

Hyuuga has a bad case of hyper-pervert syndrome.

Some sort of love polygon being hinted at here, but I'm almost certain it will remain as comedic material, rather than metamorphosing into anything serious.
