| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dat teddy bear. I can't take it seriously lol but I guess they have to do what they have to do to protect Maki. I still like Maki's bonding with those two though. Haruharu :p Teddy bears ftw. I like how Kirishima is able to kick some ass against those swat guys. Emotional episode ;.; Really glad they all survived though. |
 |
| Finally the episode is out :D |
 |
| Don't like the way they deviated from the manga, which depicted this fight alot better. This is probably the biggest deviation yet. All in all good episode, I think they are rushing the story because of their limited episode count. If you're interested in the story, I highly recommend reading the manga to get a better grasp at what's going on |

| ok episoded. lots of action. -1 for the overuse of shitty CGI. 2/5 |
Jyuu-niDesu said: Havn't watch the subs ver yet, but from the perspective of a person that is following the manga, the anime took a swift and rapid near-90 degree handbreak turn and deviated from the manga itself with almost immediate result. Good news/Bad news. Bad News, we wouldn't able to enjoy all the interesting story and character that are available in the manga(which there are many), they did keep several of the key character, thou I would say Kongou didn't play much of a key role in the manga apart from looking absolutely sadistic that she already does in the anime, the anime is now pretty much a spin-off from the manga and it is no longer an adaptation. And to the good news....well is more of a OK news, I am really interested on what they are able to do with their current story direction, it makes people who read the manga like me unable to predict the events that are coming. There is now no telling, sure there will probably be some familiar faces but I doubt it will be along the story lines . This is going to be another Girls Und Panzer moment for me...cant bloody wait, but yet dissapointed at the same time. Now from the perspective of the anime viewer who hasn't read the manga, it is quite well done, action as usual and sound effect have always been Ars Nova strong point and that is no exception here. So if all goes to plan, next episode will cut down on action for some R&R soft comedy and entertainment from our beloved Tsundere Heavy Cruiser and a hybrid Battleship in Iwoto. Going to be bloody interesting now that Haruna and co join in and are now and (again completely different to the manga) abandon loyalty to Kongo. 8/10 (-2 because of the deviation from the manga). Truer words have never been spoken, you right now this episode has now officially turned into its own story rather than following the manga which as a reader of the manga i am sad to say i am dissapointed however from another note just like u said it would be very interesting to see how the story will go on now at the very least now i can expect some surprises and the show is still interesting and good to watch despite the manga deviations I guess now the major concern now is how other readers of the manga will take it from here i guess il wait and see the feedback which i think might be quite a lot All in all still a good episode |
| Completly different from the manga, still loved it, I would even think that I like the way the story is conducted in the anime more than in the manga |
| There where some big changes from the manga guess here is where we will see most differences, not that i am complaining because it was all pretty nice. I guess we will have to live without some characters tho but it works nicely the way things are going. I am hoping for more Takao delusions tho. |
| I'm reading a manga but I like the anime very much so it's OK with me that they are making full 90 degree turn with the plot. Got to see Takao and battle mode Iona which was nice :) Also, I cried... a little... |
| I'm an anime only viewer, but I have to say those last two episodes have been really great for me. Would be interested in learning what's so different from the manga. |
| Wow they deviated from the manga big time in this ep. |
  |
| I laughed so hard, when Kirishima made this toy-squeak sounds while kicking down soldiers left and right. I am pleased with the anime and after the many posts I will check out the manga after the show ended. |
| Interesting how this show is getting better and better every episode. Using mental models of fog who are not human to gradually gain human feelings is a good way of progressing development. |

| Glad they survived that :) Those action scenes, nice ep. |
  |
| damn this anime keeps getting better and better great ep cant wait for the next |
| Haruna: I have a favor to ask. Would you be our friend? Kirishima: Im included? Too cute |
My Candies:     |
Iolo said: Haruna: I have a favor to ask. Would you be our friend? Kirishima: Im included? Too cute Hell yes. Great episode and I'm curious about the ending. I wonder who controls that island the fog or 401 and crew? (rhetorical) |
| great another thread with 90% of messages being : "deviated from manga" |
| Well the plot for me was much more deeper and interesting in the manga compared to the anime. What made it special compared to other anime/manga was the depth it explored human complexity/interaction. While the anime still retains some aspects of this, its feels to me that it's sunk to a different level. its depth of plot (for lack of a better way to describe it) is still admirable but no longer comparable to that of the manga |
| A fighting teddy bear is always awesome. Nice to see Haruna and Kirishima becoming friends with Makie. |
 |
| Well the highlight of this episode was the teddy bear fighting like a boss, and everyone is safe for now. Great episode!!! |
 |
| kirishima is so adorable in teddy bear form *w* really good &emotional episode o: though, does that mean that the mental models dont die when their ship is destroyed? & interesting preview.. an egg robot xD |

Viviaan said: kirishima is so adorable in teddy bear form *w* really good &emotional episode o: though, does that mean that the mental models dont die when their ship is destroyed? & interesting preview.. an egg robot xD It seems the mental models only survives if their core is left intact. At least that's conclusion I came to from Haruna saving Kirishima's core when their ships were destroyed. It seems like their mental model and ships are just nano materials controlled from their core. |
| Great character development. It feels like the Fog can understand human emotions pretty damn well, given the correct factors. Well, at least this deviation from the manga is still enjoyable for me, having despite not reading the manga before yet. Some of the anime was total crap from deviation, so hopefully this deviation would be interesting.. |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| Another nice episode. This shift away Gunzou and Iona did wonders with the character development of Kirishima and Haruna, and it seems like at least Haruna has become more human than ever. Much remains to be seen about Kirishima, however. Is Makie starting her own Fog harem? We know Gunzou already has Iona and Takao, possibly Hyuuga given the end of this episode too. |

I liked the story from the manga with so many sub plots. Deviating from the original story is both bad and good. The bad thing: a lot of content is cut and changed. The good thing: it's no longer the story we know so there might be some pleasant surprises. I'm worried about the lack of admiralty code, a very important part of the story. Yamato too. |

| this episode was awesome possum |
| could it be a takao episode next?? |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| I jumped to episode 6 after reading all of the manga Laughed out loud at the Iona ex Machina |
 |
| Actually, that wasn't a bad episode. More mental models developed emotions for humans ^^ |
 |
| Excellent episode. This anime is turning out way better than I thought it would after the first couple episodes. |
 |
| Okay, except Haruna's new don't hurt human view. Part of her character development, but less subtle. And Iona's sudden coming. Would preferred Maya to do the cavalry, alas the poor girl got ignored again :P |

| What I hear in this episode : Maki, Haruharu, tomodachi, and a lot of boom boom boom ratatatatatat yaaah boom boom boom ratatatatataat hahahaha. Finally I get to see Iona again, my day is complete. I hope haruharu and teddy join gunzo's crew. And what's with Takao in the end? what happened to her? |
| Lol didn't know that a blushing teddy bear can be that cute.. |
| Who knew battleships and submarines are that powerful ON land. |
| Oh goodie. Better read the manga now then. I like it that they're going a fresh route. It just has to be well made I guess, but if it deviated from the Manga, then I'm more interested on reading it now, since I do like the genre. Aside from that, epic action. I like the use of forceshields being used offensively :) |
| I'm kind of glad to hear that this is a deviation from the Manga; don't get me wrong, I'm still in love with this series but Iona kind of conveniently showing up was a bit much. Now I'm definitely looking forward to reading the Manga once this adaptation wraps up. |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| This was what I feared last week. Especially seeing the changes to the doctor. I was afraid they'd dumb down this epic scene and sadly I was right. |
| OMG! That talking egg shaped thingie will suddenly pull out tentacles and tentacle rape Takao!!! Just kidding... Anyway, good episode. It seems this adaptation is stand alone from the manga. |
| Right when I was able cope with all these changes and accepted Arpeggio as own thing, it ruins all my expectation. Why it can't have at least a bit subtlety?! I didn't saw that much of cheese since first season of Valvrave (can't speak for second as I don't watch it). 0/10, but next episode should be fun at least. FlamingYu said: Who knew battleships and submarines are that powerful ON land. They are not THAT powerful. Actualy they are lot of STRONGER. Haruna should Stomp like King instead of crying like kid... |
juliusqin said: look what i found! in opening LOL http://i44.tinypic.com/a17exy.jpg so in the end who talk with takao is hyuuga? LOL i thought she die, coz she gravity canon with iona :( well this a great episode n finaly can see iona again :) Considering it was rather suggestive with the OP, I'll tell you anyway just in case. Bear in mind as long the core inside the mental models remain intact, it doesnt matter what happen to their ships (same thing with what happened to Kirishima and haruna) Anyway, rather shocked that they deviated big time from the manga, but its a good thing to not know what to expect anymore as a manga reader. |
| this episode is so epic. NO , every episode is so EPIC!!!!....i really can't wait for next week.... |
