Really enjoyed this epi. Took a break in the middle and searched the web
Hinode city is a false name for the actual location is Onomichi city and Mukoshima Island. If you google map 福本渡船 you can zoom in on the ferry landing.

There's a web page that has photos of various locations used in the anime from the city and the island. http://homepage1.nifty.com/h-shinjyo/kamichuwindtanbou1.htm

At the bottom of that page, clilk on the link for page 2 and you'll see that the shrine is properly represnted from it's real-life model.

This episode was wonderful and really conveyed the idea of how even manufactured things can develop a spiritual identity of their own. Rating for the series has been moved up to 9.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Another great episode.
If there is any relationship development and a kiss scene this anime will be a 9/10 for sure.
But, slice of life anime never delivery on romance, so I'm not expecting anything.

Nostalgic episode for the old guy, I really must finish watching Otoko-tachi no Yamato soon.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

I am surprised that Japanese youth didn't know anything about Yamato.

Huh, when did Yurie become a deity at the infamous Yasukuni shrine? It's mind-boggling how Japan can get away with apologist antics for her WW2 responsibility! Battleship Yamato is the very embodiment of soldateska (the 1925-1945 era fascist military dictatorship) and it is totally offensive to the many millions of victims, from Philippines to Hawaii to cutefy the japanese imperialist invasion as some kind of a "proto-Kancolle" cute girls doing revisionist things.

Imagine if UFA-Werke Studios, Berlin made a cartoon about grade school Yodel-chan becoming a wiccan deity, with Bismarck class-sama asking her to deliver his soul to Walhalla. Poland, Greece and Israel would come together to demand at the Security Council that UN send troops to re-educate Germany immediately! Indeed Germany doesn't do such things nowadays as they have reformed themselves.

Yet Japan doesn't show remorse or any sensitivity, they are recalcitrant. Their kids who grow up watching this "Mein Kamichu" garbage glorifying the quasi-swastika imperial chrisantemum seal are those who will be sent to war against China and Russia again and none of them are to return, as Hayao Miyazaki has at least recognized to say at the end of Kaze Tachinu (The Wind Rises).

Would have been much less stranger if the ship weren't a fucking WW2 battleship but perhaps that offkilter weirdness is what makes Kamichu itself

I wonder if Yurie'll go help out the Musashi and Shinano too?
Most of the records and photos of the 3 Yamato-class ships were destroyed at the end of the war by Japan.
The show accurately depicts how Yamato looked when "he" sank: tons of AA and AAA all over the deck. In Mr.Gen's flashback? Those weren't there, nice historical accuracy!

Still hard to imagine kids in Japan not knowing about something I knew about as a kid in Canada (in the 70's to be about the same age) but I was a bit of a military history buff... Waterline Models! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:700_scale

I didn't expect to feel emotional about a WWII Warship but here we are.

Yeah, yeah, its a Japanese Battleship and its ignoring the horrifying effects of war and blah, blah. Whatever.

What about poor Bismarck-san? :( Any German middle-school goddesses around to bring him home? No?
