| Haha who would have thought everyone getting trolled by the director. This episode is equally good, just that the ending scene of last episode was pretty misleading lol. Trolling approved! |
| They finally touched that topic. Ahahaha. All battleship and war machines are referred as woman, that is why mental models of the fog are all female! Finally, another battle. Can't wait to see what kind of deus ex machina 401 would do. |

| Really good episode. Loved the dialogue. I'm finally really getting into the plot and concept. |
 |
| One of the best anime this season, and by far my favorite. Quite rare to get an anime that does things so well as this one. For starters, I scream "Th-They're DOING IT RIGHT!" at the screen every 15 minutes. I am amusingly astonished how they can build a romantic aspect so well without the cheesy "I'll protect you!" or "Trust me" bloody 3 eps in the series. Yoku yatta naa. |
| That clash between Iona and Kongou on the beach Gunzou had his harem complete at the room Just when I thought this would be about negotiations and silly scene only it escalated into gunfires and bombardments on the Island which was awesome |
| All the mental models were so adorable. Even Kongou. Kirishima was surely having a hard time in that mini form. Hilarious bullying towards Haruna. i never had a thought that this show would be this good. 2nd season pls. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| I really like the anime so far. My favorite character is Haruna because even compared to the main characters she had by far the most character development. Everytime I see a new episode I want to play a game with warships, which I think is a good thing. ^^ The only part I didn't like of this episode was one explanation. I think if you don't have a good explanation for something in an anime, then don't mention it at all. What I'm talking about is Kongou it looking the way she does because it was the "most energy efficient form" - That makes no sense. If she wanted a energy efficient form she probably wouldn't even look human, much less wear a dress like this. I don't know if it will become a thing later (I hope so) but it's pretty obvious that Kongou and the other ship that came with her (forgot the name) already have feelings and personalities. If they didn't Kongou wouldn't dislike something or even get a little bit angry, with the other ship it's even more obvious because why would she show interest in piano playing and overall behave like she does? A emotionless AI who is only driven by it's purpose would have just killed Gunzou on first direct contact without playing along the whole day (since her core wasn't in danger anyway). So I hope Kongou will realizes that all mental models were capable on choosing on their own even before they met Gunzou and Iona and this whole episode will not become some kind of plothole (since it's so obvious that they all had emotions and different personalities so begin with) if you get what I try to explain. ^^' |

| 4/5 As you well know who dabbles in politics, diplomacy comes first, then the blows! A Kongo like to shout: "Viuuleeenza!" XD The episode is not bad, nothing sugarcoated, indeed very thoughtful but I was not satisfied! ^ ^ " The pathos is not gone right up to the climax, perhaps because of the fanservice and comic moments that have broken the chain, when it was serious! ^ ^ " Now I want more drama and nastiness, with blood, tears and twists to burst! * _ * Meanwhile, I enjoy the battle that is coming in the next episode!

Human emulation is supposed to an extra equipment to let them learn strategies. Like human would say: you're supposed to be using your money, not being used by your money |

You could always put all meat no veggie at the skewer Well, maybe Kongou is a bit like Shin-chan.. Hate peppers xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| the first half of the episode wasn't that interesting, but once they were all on the beach eating etc and the battle at the end made up for a somewhat uneventful episode, also Haruna with her coat made me laugh too much xD |
| This anime is definitely exceeding expectations. Epic episode! |
 |
| Good episode,was very relaxing but become very intense. Kongou is such a "bit@$#" thinking that she is the best and that the others are the bad ones. They all were getting a lot of fun together :D So Hyuga have feelings for Iona ahahaha epic Kongou is smart but it seems that Maya wanted to stay with them in the island.But however she bited the food :D |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Shit is going to get down next episode! But lol that coat of her must be really special inside :p |
 |
| Shakiiiin!!!! That doesn't get old. Looks like its finally fight time. Kongo won't learn unless she gets beat. |
 |
| Takao fighting Hyuga for Iona's meat... I didn't like Hyuga much the fist time I watched this. Now, she's hilarious. |
  |
| Anybody notice those Iona figures in the room where they were talking? lol Takao is totallyl a tsundere. Kongou took a bite out of that shish kabob! Looks like shit is about to go down next episode! Good episode. |
| It was the right decision to call ships and other marine vehicles with a feminine call after all... Applause to whoever said that first. 'Frivolous acts' (Useless act) That's the vague meaning but what Kongou meant was... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Wow, Kongou need to calm down, then again it would be interesting to see... Damn this scene was hilarious! Kongou and everyone *Serious* Gunzou "Lol, I'm hungry bruh!" This episode has such a relaxing and cheerful beach scene, it's fun to see these mental models enjoying themselves and minding their own business. Kongou is such a party pooper though! And all because the first thing she ate from that skewer is that paprika and not a nice tender meat! Yasu-kun said: Kurogashi said: moral of the story...

| I do appreciate that Kongou couldn't be placated in the same way the other Mental Models were; in fact, she was outright wary of such a prospect to begin with, and took pre-emptive measures to ensure her physical presence was on her ship, so she could get straight to bombardment. Would've been too easy if what looks like the main antagonist of the Fleet of Fog could be neutralised in such a passive way. |
