What kind of kuso teitoku dreams of marrying Fubuki? It's like getting an medical degree so you can flip burgers at McDonalds.

If that dream of Fubuki wearing the white dress expressing her "love" to the incompetent teitoku is a outright sarcasm to the fan base, that would give me a new respect for the production team; not only they are so detached from what the fans wanted, they have the balls to tell their fans "Yes it is what I thought you all wanted, I'm so genius!" if not, that's still a sloppily done scene that someone has the brilliant idea of after hearing the word "waifu", so why not put the Kanmusume in the white dress? It's insultingly bad. It can't be redone. Besides the lack of passion and dedication from everyone involve in the production we also have to bear the embarrassingly and stupidly made business practice by someone who clearly doesn't understand a bit about otaku culture and storytelling still have to leave his shit stain everywhere it's easily the worst anime of this season. That is the death of an anime, the people making it doesn't give a fuck. How hard it is to make a show like what you said "70% SoL, and 30% action"? Please, whoever made that call to kill off Kisaragi stay away from the anime industry forever, we don't need you. OP-kun and ED-kun deserve better.

Anticlimactic remodel is anticlimactic.

Ok, so Fubuki manages to defeat one wave of enemies out of the 20 times she got her ass handed to her. That's not really comforting if she's going to be an escort.

Admiral why. You have Shimakaze, Kongou, and the perfect Nagato there, why waste time on Fubuki.

It's a shame they made Mutsu yuri-fied. It's such a waste.

It was an ok episode. Kind of "eh".

All that hype for nothing. Well Fubuki wouldn't be Fubuki if Fubuki's apperance was changed. However, the least she could have gotten was a bit more armor and weapons.

That level grinding, Fubuki has that determination that no one else has. She's like forget the sinking, I'm going to get stronger regardless of the consequences.

Akagi ftw

Nice new side of Akagi. It's not always a quiet and relaxed Akagi. Here she was dead serious. She told Fubuki to stand up which surprised Kaga as she's the one who told Fubuki to take the test.

Blame Shibafu, (Main illustrator for Fubuki) his/her works is always underwhelming.
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Glossary#List_of_vessels_by_artist
I've already complained about her looks the first time the game introduced to her 2nd remodel.
-She didn't look different, in this case there's nothing on her new design that really screams "KAI-NI", at least with Soryu and Hiryu they get cool headbands.
-She totally looks like another ship girl, in this case Ayanami http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Ayanami
-What makes her an important ship is just the "anti aircraft fire detector" that in game will trigger a cut-in animation to counter Aircrafts. So she actually got "new weapons", but one is so significantly small it's just underwhelming.

A little disappointed but not really surprised over the remodel.
Still, the remodel may not have been what she wanted but becoming Akagi's escort is a bigger dream come true. Hard work and determination is the way.

I believe that Fubuki deserves a better remodel than she has now. Its definitely underwhelming.

I know that what her Kai Ni 2 looks like but I was hoping the anime staff would deviate from it and make it what a remodel should be like Yuudachi.

Not gonna lie, I really don't see that happening. Or maybe it's that I really don't want that to happen. I want happiness and success in the last 2 episodes!

PS. Looking up the battle of midway will make it very clear what the above poster means. Do not look up if you do not want to be potentially spoiled.

So all these weird fleet rearrangements have been solely to grind the TTK's chosen waifu to lvl 99 as quickly as possible.

Yeah, with all those flags we'll probably be heading into very dark territory for the next e-poi-sode. Speaking of which, this ep. probably had the lowest poi-count in the series...

Yeah, about that. Personally, she seems to be neutral about it, like, not being head over heels about the Admiral and stuff. Which I like, since I didn't come here for the romance (alhtough I'm sure Fubuki fans would squeal anyway).
I prefer to see her as a hardworking girl for the fleet in general.

And after everything is over, the remaining girls who managed to survive get sent off to the Abyssals, in which they become slaves for the rest of their lives.

I honestly like this episode. Blame my yuri fetish since I ship Kaga/Akagi so hard and will not let a single scene of those two slipped.

I'm actually a little disappointed too with Fubuki's remodeling. It turns out...the same. But, nontheless, I still like her :) even though I still think it's a little unfair when Yudachi's remodel was much more interesting.

So.. next episode will certainly have death flags. I need to prepare my #shipperheart...

[LONG MESSAGE INCOMING]
First i wanna say hello everyone im fresh/newbie here :)

Regarding this episode i was expecting it to be focused on Fubiki and im glad that we got to see a few funny moments (the moon ruining that yuri vibe) and Kaga noticing Fubuki running past Akagi and saying hey look she just ran past you is that normal? lol

What i really enjoyed was that special "test" they did with Fubuki.. it seemed like Nagato wasnt sure as to why she was vital and not to mention she isnt as powerful as the other class ships so that part was interesting i know it looks painful to see the main girl suffer but it had to happen i mean serious she isnt really equipt for carrier / air battle and only has 2 AA cannons so this gave her a good opportunity to show her true skills on the field. Awakening to her senses so to speak.

As for the remodeling.. honestly i was expecting her to look like this http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140523042236/kancolle/images/1/1d/Fubuki_(Kantai_Collection)_full_1677189.jpg

(not sure if image will show) but yea that was my assumption but it felt like the creators teased (trolled) us with the minimal appearance.. but i hope she has more firepower now.. im expecting her to have at least abit more of an advantage now.. but we will have to see next episode

Also i do have a sneaking suspicion that 1 or 2 ships are going to get badly injured or sunk? im not sure who but this is my assumption so far.. i reckon the likely ship to get sunk is Fubuki's close friend (Mutsuki) so far she hasnt had a remodel yet and also we havent seen her skills yet on the field.. also i havent seen any training scenes with her involved it feels like shes been left out of the loop.. i have a feeling something bad is gonna happen with her sooner or later.. and fubuki is gonna go crazy when it does happen lol

Reading this thread almost everyone was disappointed with fubuki's remodel. I thought people already knew that she isn't going to change much because of the game. Anyway her Anti Air stats is high so she should be able to help.

Good episode, now I'm going to put fubuki in my main fleet!

It kind of felt like Fubuki wasn't the only one trying too hard in this episode. Not a bad one, but several aspects seemed off, especially Fubuki's suicide run on that abyssal.

But more importantly: AF was the Japanese code for Midway. As soon as that was mentioned, I was looking for those death flags. Either they largely follow history and we get a very bloody battle with multiple characters going under without hurting the abyssals much, or they finally break from history. It'll be interesting to see which way it goes.

The Battle against the Abyssals went a bit quick, but was very good nonetheless.

Pretty amusing that Fubuki was expecting her remodel to be very different like Yuudachi's. Seeing her reaction to her slightly different look and an obvious glance at Yuudachi's breasts was funny. XD

Speaking of Yuudachi, sad that she didn't say 'Poi' that much compared to last week. D=

If they follows the history... ah damn... I can't say it. Either way, there'll still be death flags (I also went surfing on the net to check what happened in Midway operation).

You can say Fubuki has been remodeled to Kai Ni 0.5. She still has the same uniform as she did in Kai form but she got that circular thing on her wrist which is a Anti-Aircraft Fire Detector which she only gets in Kai Ni form.

It's a shame that they didn't change Fubuki's uniform to her Kai Ni model in addition.

I'm not sure how to ask or say this but i was kinda hoping to see a backstory regarding the enemy (Abysall black ships/fleet) i dunno if there is some sort of game reference for this show or manga that i should be reading but i havent seen an enemy scene explaining wtf is going on with them.. like a master mind behind them or a scene explaining why they even exist?

The only decent enemy scene we had was during that First episode with that dark lady with the red eyes and pink hair and Kaga and Akagi kicked her butt..

Will they explain who the enemy really is? and how they came to be? and what their objectives are? like this honestly reminds me Strike Witches but at least their enemies were like some sort of alien type robotic life form.. as for this anime they are humanoid girls.. or mutated ships?

Am i missing something here? i just dont really understand why they are fighting them... is it because they are trying to take over the world? it honestly feels like any ship that gets sunk turns into an Abysall ship or something.. but i dunno thats the only part which was bothering me regarding this anime aside from that, its all okay...

No, you're pretty up to speed. The details on the origins and motivations of the Abyssal Fleet are largely unknown.

Heck, the developers probably don't even know what their deal is.

They're just a stand-in for America (and to a lesser extent Australia) because putting the actual Allies would be

a) a lot more work since they'd have to make dozens more ship girl designs than they have for the Abyssals as-is (Wo, Ru, etc.)

b) a bad idea in general because killing the really popular ship girls (Akagi, Tenryuu, Kongo, etc.) would piss off the fans and the Allies losing would be a PR nightmare.

A couple exceptions are the ship girl Abyssal designs like you said, but it's mostly the USN. I'm 90% certain that Wo herself is USS Yorktown.


Strike Witches got away with the Neuroi because it had girls from Axis and Allied nations fighting them, but this anime is pure Japan.

Still wish the Kriegsmarine would show up, though. *Sigh* Bismarck, Prinz, U-511...


On topic: They've shown the victories so far, the true test of this anime is if it will show the defeats.

It'd be great if Midway was a two-part finale where the ship girls lose horribly and have to deal with the loss of Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, and Mikuma in the last scene, steeling themselves for the future battles that season 2 may bring.

Thank you so much for clarifying that for me was confused who they actually were and what was going on with them.. thanks again :)

Haha yes i really do want to see the other ships such as Bismarck, infact i want to see all the ships form together sooner or later but seeing how we only got 2 episodes left and 1 major battle coming... its gonna be hard to see any new faces... :L

Im also guessing the creators might make a second season for this anime? it deserves another season.

You're welcome. Hopefully we do find out what their deal is at some point. I'm thinking Cthulhu saw the latent power in the ship girls and thought "I should get in on this before they do."

Well, if we're following WWII Bismarck's already dead. Completely forgot about that.

I don't know about "deserves" but it definitely needs one. Too many questions to leave alone.

And I still haven't had an Atago episode, which is an outrage.

Episode that good or evil succeeds in its aim to entertain, with a narrative quite interesting and with a plot construction, although at times were a little anticlimatici.
Characterization is not very deep, but it was not a waste of time anyway.
Quality of the drawings sufficient, animations average.
I hope can improve the texture and narrative in the coming episodes.

Poor Mutsuki; she doesn't want to lose anyone anymore. (T_T)
Meanwhile, Ooi wants to sink the moon, lol.

I just love the OST during Fubuki's last attempt to show that she can be Akagi's escort.
Lol, Fubuki really only just wanted boobs.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.
