Sorry people but Shoho sank, Shokaku got 3 bomb hits while Zuikaku lost half of her air group.

Seems like next episode might be Operation MI or preparation leading to MI and both Shokaku and Zuikaku hwill play no role in MI. Yamato is Yamamoto's flagship in MI.

No doubt that Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu, Soryu and Mikuma sinks next week.

Seems that Purple has made his presence felt this time.

Excellent!
It may not be as dramatic as some would like it, but this is where I feel like it can do its thing best.
Fubuki's got her shit together, Zuikaku and Kaga are on good terms (for those 2), and there's enough danger to be a threat, but not so much that it's insurmountable.
I was actually rather excited to see Wo in action. I've now seen an LP or 2 to know that Wo-flagship is a nasty piece of work. Still the Abyssals as a whole are kinda bland as villains. I mean they've more or less been mindless monsters rather than intelligent foes up till now. Looks like that's changing.

I'm totally psyched next week to finally see Yamato (and possibly Musashi) do their thing. Both LP's dreamt about and drooled over, but never found "the super battleships."
From what I read either one has about a 2.5% chance of ever showing up, so many teitoku quit the game after going broke and getting fed up with chasing that dream.
As I'm becoming smarter about the game, I enjoy the anime more. "Duh" you may say, but I had no desire to learn the game coming in. In fact I'd planned to drop this after the 3rd episode, but decided I hated unresolved tension. Now I understand a little bit of why you're all here.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

people should really read what the text says...it only said severely damaged not sunk

Thought it was unclear what happen at her in the end. I hope she's okay.

If I may....

Completed in early 1942, the ship supported the invasion forces in Operation MO, the invasion of Port Moresby, New Guinea, and was sunk by American carrier aircraft on her first combat operation during the Battle of the Coral Sea on 7 May. Shōhō was the first Japanese aircraft carrier to be sunk during World War II.

It has lots of historical references but don't follow history.

As said in the episode, she was badly damaged and know nothing else at this point. I would expect her teammates are helping extinguish the fire and get her to port.

For some reason I thought Shoukaku would sink but Fubuki stepped up her game and got there just in time to help.

The monster ran away after getting her eye blown off xD

Wo-Class looked fucking badass. Especially when the one Wo-Class took a missile to the face and barely flinched.

More Kongou BURNING LOVE!! Always a good thing.

Good bit of Nagato and Mutsu this episode.

It's funny when you think about it, but a good chunk of every episode is one seiyuu basically talking to herself through multiple characters. Like all the Mutsu and Nagato conversations.

Hell, Sakura Ayane voices like half the list. MOST episodes involve her talking to herself, lol. Not that it's a bad thing. These sieyuus are really showing of their talent in this show with all of the different vocal ranges they use.

Checked the character list, doesn't look like we'll get any Hayashimo in the show. Kind of sucks. BUT, since this is selling so fucking retadedly well, I can easily see them milking much more stuff out of this ship girl franchise. Ship girls = $$$$

You mean who?

Fubuki's battle group or all of the participants?

Cos I still say that Shoho sank but its just that they haven't got the news or decided to skip it to escape any shit storm on the internet

Uh, forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't she supposed to be the main character in the actual game?

It's not her fault she isn't the most interesting of the lot.

No, Fubuki's just the first ship you get in the game.

You get to choose the main girl in the game by... marrying her.

As to whether Shouhou was sunk or not, the anime has an inconsistency of following history, so you shouldn't bring history in here. They will kill any ship if they see fit.

I wished for more action from last week's episode, and thankfully this episode delivered it. =D

Although she's still learning as a flagship, Fubuki's instincts kicked in at the right time and thankfully they saved Zuikaku & Shoukaku from total destruction from the Abbysals.

Overall, a very good episode. Also, I wonder if we'll ever get to see what the admiral looks like, although it might be best if we didn't get to his face at all. ^^

For what it's worth - the CAs listed by Ooyodo as Shouhou's escorts are the same ones that failed to protect the real Shouhou at Coral Sea (6th Cruiser Divison = Aoba, Furutaka, Kako, Kinugasa)

Kaga protected Zuikaku, which led to Shoukaku temporarily joining Fubuki's team.
Abyssals know the codes, but too bad Fubuki is our main character; she can fight back!

This was a really good episode. A complete 180 from last week's stupid generic slice of life episode.

And Bucky was definitely the right choice for flagship. She was able to predict what the enemy was doing and quickly changed strategies, leading to a victory. Can't believe she doubted herself for a moment.

I must say that the beginning conflict and fight was pretty good....For a second I got scared that someone was going to get sunk but everything after that was done really well

The following battle was really intense too.....If all of the future battles are like this then I'm going to really look forward to seeing what happened next

Really loving Fleet 5 and seeing how much they've all bonded with each other and I hope that none of them ends up dying (Along with Akagi) :)

Aww I thought we were finally going to see Tenryuu and Tatsuta in action :(

That Shoukaku luck. The Fusou sisters would be so proud XD! The moment she sortied with Zuikaku, it was so obvious that was going to happen haha.

Wo-chan was so badass. I can't help but semi-root for the Abyssals when she's on.

Yamato hotel next episode! I wonder if she's going to give out ice cream too.

I agree with best episode so far. The battle was actually rather intense. But other then that this show is pretty weak. I still enjoy it a great deal though.

Another great action filled episode, after the shit that was episode 6. Starting to think though that Akagi spends more time repairing in the docks than she does out in combat operations.

I'm really liking Assault Force 5 too.

The events gain more appeal through greater incisiveness on the battlefield, despite being fairly obvious a possible victory of the team of Fubuki, not disdaining to cultivate relationships between the characters.
Narrative that defends well, despite not having a good number of twists, but the management seemed to improve, and the plot is advancing more than good, than I imagined, despite having heard rumors some time ago.
Designs that have proven good quality, also for what concerns the CG, animation good; perhaps only the quality of the scenarios is a bit too little, oh well!
Soundtrack well accorded with contexts.
