| Damn, an awesome episode again, now there's just one left, i don't want this show to end ;_; Now i kinda feel sorry for 400 and 402, and even more for 401, losing her sisters 'cause she had to sink them, that's hard. However, the outcome of the fight was kinda clear from the beginning, 5 ships on Gunzous side against 400 and 402, still was an amazing battle. I wonder how the "American" fog ships will be, i'm sure it'll be a tough fight. Maybe i'm sensing a second season here? Also, "Deathstar-Kongou" arriving at the battleground and she's fucking pissed. I wonder what she'll do and if she's gonna assist Iona & Crew or not. |
| Even though Takao is now just a 2D model, she's still cute when Gunzo's talking with her, hhahaahhaa. Dat opening attack, Epic use of Super Gravity Canon. However, it Feels when 400 and 402 died. And it looks like 402 was changing, having her own feelings, according to 400 which for her was an unnecessary thing for them. Dat Kongou and Maya's fusion, was that the Humongous ball in the end? wow WTF. Looks like Iona and the gang will be dealing with the Final Boss. And I thought there'll be a chance for them to be allies... Tchh It would be dem feels next week, cos a lot of animes will be ending its course. |
| I love how everyone was silent when they mention Takao, then she suddenly appeared on the monitor. Takao! How I missed you! <3 Epic Maya x Kongou! Well, the bigger and badder the final boss the better. |
| lol .. Takao is alive was already feeling lack of the openness __________ lol .. Takao esta viva ja estava sentindo falta da abertura |
  |
| Motherfuckin Takao is motherfuckin back! I knew that she didn't die... ;___; And srsly, AMERICA. |
| It looks like The Blue fleet is in deep shit right now. Well, at least Takao is alive :) |
 |
| Damn, after the best episode in the series (episode 10), we get a rushed piece of garbage. The writers made room for a second season only to squander it in this episode. |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| I hope this gets a 2nd season! Takao is still alive!!!!!!!!!! Excellent epd. |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
| I just can't get enough of Takao. That fashion and quirky personality. Glad to see her alive and still kicking. The conflicting emotions between the duty to battle and the desire to save loved ones. What a spectacular demonstration of tragically conflicting ideals. Look at Kongou go. Lockdown? Bitch please. Gimme a sec. ... ... FUCKIN DEATH STAR. Goodness gracious everything is right with this anime. Everything is right. |

| Takao \(^0^)/ RIP 400 & 402 T^T |
 |
| Hey who knows? Ship girls are pretty popular in Japan nowadays right? If they do make a second season for this, it'll probably in 2015. I'm sure the producers won't want to release this or its BDs while KanColle is airing or the its volumes still selling. |

| Poor Iona. It sucks to see that the first two actual ships you actually sink (without them miraculously coming back a la Hyuuga and Haruna) are your own sister ships. Hopefully she's not shaken enough to the point where she derps against the American Fog Fleet and Kongou simultaneously. Gahhhh next week's the last episode...this sucks. I really loved Ars Nova. I looked forward to this and Non Non Biyori every week, those two single-handedly made my Mondays bearable. I'm hoping for at least a decent conclusion before I move onto the Manga adaptation once this wraps up. <3 |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |

The writers made room for a second season only to squander it in this episode. It was never their intent to make a second season. It was a niche manga in a niche market, without too much expectation to it. We should be happy that they even made one. This is why they diverted from the manga and went for a complete story. There will not be a second season. That said, they sell 20-30K BDs, ghosts will rise from the dead, however as much as I like this show, I think it is still only tracking to do 3-4K (please feel free to correct me if I am wrong). I dont know about 20-30k but according to varies sources this series is doing pretty well in japan and the pre-orders for it are one of the highest at the moment and u dont need to sell 30k to get a second season i know series that got more seasons with more below average numbers than that as long as it sells above the manbi line which is 2899there is still a chance it will still get it Besides has anybody noticed yet they displayed there planned route they are planning on going to hawaii to re-supply and than go to san diago and on the displayed it showed they just left japanese waters and with 1 episode left there is still potential for a second season :) |
| definitely in need of a second season |
 |
| Another great episode. Nice strategies and emotions. |
 |
| And Takao is here. I thought she is gone for good. Oh well. I love how I-401 have upgrades because of Takao. They sure have dealt with the sisters quickly. I wonder how will they escape the ships on the end? |

| Heh, told ya. They messed with Kongou and pissed her off. Now she's become several times more dangerous. Still, I didn't expect her to break free from that lockdown so fast and then just force-fuse with the real Maya... to become a floating ball of "you're so screwed" xD Being badass doesn't even begin to describe it ^^ However, I'm somehow confused as to how coming into contact with Iona REALLY messes up fog ships within seconds. It's like human emotions are like a virus to the fog that they have ZERO means of defending against. |
 |
| Kongou + Maya = Death Star? XD That battle with the sisters was great, though kinda sad. I was hoping one of them would survive.. if only they had more time to spend with Iona, i bet they would understand her feelings and decisions.. This series is definitely getting better and better! |

My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| YES TAKAOOOOO. What the hell, Kongou and Maya fused together to make a Death Star-like? Kongou has lost her mind, I hope she won't die in the next and last episode. |

xchee said: On that. It could just turn into the "opening dish" for KanColle. After all, the later is currently a bigger name and will probably drown this in the next season.Hey who knows?

I'm sure the producers won't want to release this or its BDs while KanColle is airing or the its volumes still selling. There's lots of consumers with short attention span these days. Takuan_Soho said: *sigh*Sales Numbers are not a good indication of what gets a sequel, shows with 3K in sales can get one, shows with 15K may not. A lot has to do with ties ins, but more has to do with how strong the production team behind the show is, and unfortunately the production committee for this show has too many players in it, this greatly reduces the change of a sequel being made.

| 5/5 Fireworks in this penultimate episode. Narrative full of drama, but for my taste, it was gone too fast in closing parenthesis of the sisters. The plot is fast-running seems to point us much more than it actually can give us one episode! ^ ^ " Whether it's a prelude to a second season? * _ * I'm so sorry for I400 and I402! When a villain is not a real bad in the end always sorry for it to end! T_T Kougo is really pissed off, if built his own personal super cannon? WOW! I am very excited! : D |

| The battle between the 402 and 400 with 401 was very disappointing. I expected more of them, they did not prepare any strategy or defense, they just kept shooting. The death of them was sad, I thought they were going to get more into anime. |
| IMO this was rather weak, while it had its moments it did feel very filler-ish. Feels like their rushing through this even with anime original content. |
| I would have called BS on this show if they had killed of Takao while nobody else ever dies... I'm glad that didn't happen :) ... she seriously couldn't keep enough nanomaterial to maintain her mental model? really?... Nice battle against the submarine twins. That Kongo+Maya merge = blimp?... should be interesting next episode. I expect lots of lasers. |
  |
| Yatta!!! Yeah!!!! She Is Alive, She Is Alive!!! TA-KA-O! TA-KA-O!! TA-KA-O!!! And Feeling well I See, even if She does not have Physical Body. X) o.O..O.o...O.O....HOLY FUCK!!?! K-K-K-KK-KONGOU DIID WHAAT!? Okay..Ladies and Gentleman..Please Rise To Welcome Super Battleship KONGOU!!! Can't wait to see if Maya will be same as Takao is Currently in Iona, in Kongous System...I hope so...I want see Funny Living Maya Again...not the Glitch... So..this will be goodbye between Iona and her Sisters...Sayonara 400, 402, You are one my favorites in Manga. |

| Holy crap, Gunzou so OP! Kongou turned yandere, probably became one with her. My only problem is 400, 401, and 402 showed too much emotion, for a reason I don't know. Sad to the point of crying? Really? 400 and 402 seems like they were set up as characters who were without emotions but develop one all of the sudden, out of nowhere. Otherwise pretty great episode. P.S. Can the dude stop shouting already every freakin time something happens? |

| Lol, I just love how everyone treated Takao like she's already dead Aw, R.I.P. 400 & 402 I don't know how they'll wrap this last battle... Obviously after last ep the stories still continued... On manga |
"Signature removed"   |
| 400 & 402 gone permanently? I'm glad Takao is back, she needs her mental mode back! |
| She is alive.Not with a body but she is alive! Takao is alive :D She might don't have a body but still she is alive and maybe she can be repaired :) 400 & 402 are destroyed but i only feel bad for Iona,because she said them to don't fight... Kongou is back with even more power and she have a plane now? WOW xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Pretty nice episode I really wonder what the last episode will bring us! |
 |
One of the best scenes in the show. |
| Of course Takao survived that, no body but the soul remains. Even in the end the sisters did not choose to fully realize and Kongo has gone psycho and turned into a....space station?! This is going to be bad... |
 |
| The battle with the sub sisters isn't as intense as the others because, well, we already knew they would lose. Instead, they made it more of a tragedy with Iona losing her sisters, and 400 and 402 losing each other. They are also the first ships with mental models to actually get destroyed. And yea... that gravity cannon sweep at the start... awesome! |
|
| Takao lives! Yeah! She's still a tsundere though. lol Nothing wrong with that. I guess that the end of those twin ships. And Kongou is back! And she created the Death Star!? lol Good episode. |
| The name of this new ship is 'Ars Nova' huh... It not only looks cooler but the power difference can be seen. The supergravity cannon it has pretty much just wiped off some Nagara class ships like the scrubs it is. I miss the OP, and now it's back yay! Wait wait wait! Takao's software is still intact HER CORE IS NOT DESTORYED?! Aw hell yeah, this possibility never crossed through my mind because the last episode is literally trying to make the audience believe into thinking that Takao died for real. I'm glad she's still around though! What monstrosity is this, instead of a hybrid kind of ship, Kongou and Maya created this huge spherical thing? Iona destroying her sisters and keeping all that pain to herself, only staying sane because of reassuring that she's Gonzou's ship. Gonzou, man take notice, please. Talk about shitty timing. After just destroying her sisters and experiencing painful sorrow, Iona has to fight off a bunch of American-ships based Fog ships AND fight off the monster hybrid of Kongou and Maya. A Fog USS Iowa will give them some bad time for sure. |
  |
| Looks like the only option to take down Kongou/Maya fusion is to use the weapon they were supposed to deliver. Makie is still alive so she can still make a replacement. |

Flaecy said: definitely in need of a second season Hmmm... not so sure about that one. |
| I wonder what's less desirable: Having your consciousness implanted in a teddy bear, or in a submarine's AI? I suppose it doesn't really matter, so long as you're still alive. Even l-400 and l-402 ended up defying the Admiralty Code to some degree in the end. It's evident at this point that the ship girls weren't built with its protocols in mind. |
