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 = $$$$

... I sure hope they make the specials/OVA's based on the Kongous.

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

I heard Tenryuu and Tatsuta.....when the fuck are they going to come up?!

I'm sorry but I just don't understand why they made this anime with Fubuki as the MC...

She's not popular or very interesting at all.

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.

Who said Shoukaku would die? I watched this episode in agony and assumption this rumor was true.
Though this episode was even more rewarding this way, but the tension nearly killed me XD

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.

Fubuki's quick decision making saved Shoukaku & Zuikaku. of couse Admiral also deserve credit because of the meeting with Fubuki earlier.

This was the best episode yet, but that's not saying much. If you need action to completely carry a story, it's really not a good story.

Indeed. I had fun with it, though.

It was interesting to see an abyssal fleet with more anthropomorphic traits as well.

Great episode!

I really thought Kaga and Shoukaku were goners. I thought they might pull a Zeta Gundam on this XD

Kaga on recovery mode!

Fubuki has been a great leader!!!

At least Zuikaku took Kaga's advice and managed to survived.

I always wonder why the Abyssal's are not talking?? Shame this is only a 12 episode. I was hoping they would show two sides of the story. Why are the Abyssal's are attacking the Kantai team and vice versa.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Clothes getting torn up to show damage is still pulling me out of the moment a bit, but an otherwise intense episode. Especially since I don't know if any of them can get sunk or not. Zuikaku playing hard to get but that bond she has with Kaga is nice to see when it shines.
