I wasnt ready. That
was uninteresting. Low moment. Otherwise the rest of the episode was pretty cool. These 17 episodes make me feel like weve really grown with Marika to see her develop into a great captain and I kind of wish it was a longer anime. I wonder when the crew will get back in action?

Sato Tatsuo is a huge liar! XD

Anyway, usually I really dislike shoujo or shounen-ai but since they are not the main couple, I will ignore it. I was just way too shocked! Totally unexpected (the kiss)!

Now things get more interesting! :D

yes, the most important thing that happened this episode was the three way deal Marika pulled off between her, Jenny and Show.

D-DAT YURI KISS! 0_o;

Totally did not expect that.

I had the same reaction as the girls. And if that wasn't enough, they kiss again!

Wow! Just...wow!

I know I did not have time to be with the many that watch this series but so far it’s been an amazing blast. In 3 words FUN! EXCITING! SURPRISING! Indeed if not last episode for Sasha looking for some Yuri with that black dress that is silk and most likely nothing underneath targeting Yayoi there is Lynn x Jenny in the following,

Exclusive GIFs show the obvious with a dual kissing. Sealing finally the start of Yuri in this series whom many hoped. I cannot share that same smile with you all that FINALLY WE HAVE OUR YURI! Straight yelling out. Well finally love is in the air and the happy reunion was great.

Other than that as exciting as things were Jenny looking marvelous with that wedding dress. She reminded me of her escape that Leia did in Star Wars with her blaster. Regardless of that the end and chase was poignant. So far with this I am very happy of the action and space element. I shall leave it at that with might edit later.

great episode! i never thought i'd see girl on girl action in what, up until now, had been a fairly innocent show (although i always thought lynn's character might have some yuri in her)...mouretsu pirates continues to impress me with it's consistency of fun, adventure, and friendship...

The kissing scene was unexpected indeed and with the way they where dressed it looked like a scene from a fairy tale.
Chiaki's reaction to that kissing scene was also nice, she can be surpassingly cute at times.

Marika's way of business was also pretty interesting since you normally do that kind of thing in a private room and not in front of everyone.
Jenny's uncle's way of business is pretty harsh even going as far as marrying of your niece to prevent her from taking over the company.
I feel sorry for Jenny hopefully her plan will succeed.

They didn't hesitate to kiss at all in front of everyone...
The reactions of the girls were nice to see. Both Chiaki and the Princess, who are always anxious about Marika, got to know there are many forms of love.
Well, come to think of it, as to Marika, Chiaki, and the princess, they don't seem to be interested in boys...

It's nice to see that homosexuality seems to be socially accepted at this time... at least among the girld that were onboard the ship.

Overall, a great episode and I liked how politics played such a big part in this. Once again it shows how dependent piratery is from insurance companies and how they have to relay on tactics to keep their business going.

So after physical and electronic warfare we now have business warfare as well. Nice :-) And Marika apparently shines in that area, too.

Let's just say "lesbian homosexuality", which is already pretty popular (hence it's appearance in this show ^^). Granted girls usually aren't as scared of gays as guys are, so the Bentanmaru's crew is likely to be fine with anything ;-)

I'd like to add that the occurrence of unlikely stuff doesn't imply fate, and that people meeting in this universe is everything but unlikely because humans are bound to flock together at planets and space stations to... um... survive :-P It's not like people are evenly spread across the vastness of space. And it doesn't help the argument that a big part of the cast is important people who also travel a lot. But apart from that intro this episode was a nice one :-)

I work for a large company in downtown Columbus Ohio. The company encourages socializing/community involvement and among the many company sponsored clubs is a gay club. Several people I've worked with were gay and though they didn't go out of their way to talk about it they didn't hide it either. I've met one of the guy's "significant other" several times at social events. Columbus has an annual Gay Pride parade around the end of June or early July. For the most part, it's simply just not a big deal around here.

Contrast this with how I recall things in the early 1980s. The first guy I met who was openly gay was while I was in college, it was around 1982 when I met him. People simply avoided him and "talked" about him. I made friends with him and we'd occasionally hang out and watch MTV in the lobby and stuff on boring Sunday afternoons, but he had a serious heart condition and eventually dropped out because it was getting worse - I lost track of him after that. As far as I could tell, I was the only person who would talk to him.

(shrug) I guess what I'm getting at is when two anime characters of the same gender start a relationship I just don't see it as anything different as when two characters of the more 'traditional' gender mix start a relationship. It's not my lifestyle, but I also don't see it as anything to get worked up about either.

I haven't had too much interest in this series, but hadn't really considered dropping it either. Last episode disappointed me a bit, but this episode more than made up for it.

End of last episode hinted at this pretty hard, but I thought for sure that they would someone mess it up or go in some other direction. Loved this episode.

No matter how many times I reiterate, it's not enough:

This series is underrated.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Well my take on the whole Yuri thing in this show is that most people blatant forgot that most of these types of shows because of Male's destructive ways and violence they have dropped down. This being said, its natural artificial ways to make kids and more Yuri happens.

Why 2 girls with that flower in the Ghost Ship can make a kid. Artificial insemination has gone a long way and being able to select make it the more so. People should know in time males will dwindle to smaller numbers and more girls will be available. This is so true of the amount in the Academy.

Finally point is male's destructive ways will end up killing and reducing its numbers resulting in more love with girls x girls.

Homosexuality amongst woman is generally more exerted then homosexuality amongst men.
It's similar to how girls are excepted when they dress manly while guys wearing feminine clothing are a taboo.
There is also a big difference per country and culture whether homosexuality is excepted or not.
I don't know the reason behind it but some things are more easily excepted from one gender then the other even tho there the same thing.

It's great how it can do an "everyone united in spirit against a dastardly enemy" story without seeming cliched or making the dastardly enemy into the cool faction that you support. All that investment in world-building and near-plausibility paying off, methinks.

Anyways, if Satou was trolling about romance in Pirates, does that mean Lagrange might end up getting some yuri goodness too?

So that why she cosplayed as a Prince. It was a plan for the yuri.

Finally after quite some boring episodes we get some little tension and excitement. Hope they keep the rhythm until the end.

MAL rating...? Pfft.. like it has ever meant anything.
That said though, this show has been steadily going downhill (as much as I hate to admit it).
Even though the beginning was excellent (eps. 1-7).

Possible scenarios of males being less around and more girls therefore yuri.

It already has with groping, sleeping together and other minor elements. Kissing is only missing.

Same, I thought that the beginning was great and then... the plot started to slide, an ep or two even seemed like filler material. But I'm sticking with it since we're 2/3 way through and it's interesting enough to not drop plus I like the EDs and we're probably into the final anime arc. Probably. Besides, there are pirate anime, space anime, but not space pirate anime, now we get to see some laser beam fights in space instead of on earth and that technology! Look at all the computer panels and futuristic equipment, it's nothing new but hey there's even some fun cyber warfare.

@HammersFan10 If you care about MAL rating then watch just mainstream anime or overrated ones. At episode 17 you're still watching something you don't want to? :\ I would've dropped it by now.

All dat yuri! Tbh it was expected since Lynn has always been a tomboy in my eyes at least. Jenny without all those makeup looks so much nicer.

Marika being a boss ass captain, nice quick thinking with the negotiation. Hahah at the Bentenmaru's crew sighing after learning what had happened; then a second later... ALERT ALERT and they see the ship getting shot at omfg we gotta get out at once.

Wow, I remember thinking there was more to this story we weren't told in the previous episode, and then as she runs up, like others I thought, wouldn't it be funny if the kissed, that would be kind of unexpected. Yeah the show's been mostly 'wholesome' up till now, but I'm not really bothered by this display of Yuri. It actually adds some needed dramatic infusion to the situation.

The only thing I don't like is it feels like Marika is playing things 'too cool' when she's being played by Lynn and jenny here. I'm hoping that does not become a habit.

Didn't expect Lynn and Jenny to kiss before this episode, but when Jenny ran up to the bridge in that wedding dress I had a feeling they would :') I love how the yacht club were really happy for them. I also love how much Misa believes in Marika and is letting her take on these jobs and try to complete them. The last few episodes have been really exciting, and it looks like the next one won't let up.

OKay at first I was mad, they set up an elaborate kidnapping plot and then Jenny goes off and escapes right to the Bentenmaru...they've pulled stunts like that a few times already.

Then there was the line about pirates can't actually commit crimes by Chiaki. I wanted to bang my head against the wall...if you don't commit crimes then YOU AREN'T A PIRATE!!! At least Marika realized this to some degree.

Then we got lesbian kissing...then an actual firefight and escape and it saved the episode. Now we got an actual pirate act going on.
