| I have been looking forward to this anime, it's the one i have been looking forward to most this year i have been reading to manga for two years now and i really like it. This episode was great some differences with the manga but not much, the art style was also nice the characters looked a bit blocky at times but those are minor details. Iori's character came out nicely this episode and i hope it stays that way, also looking forward on how the other characters turned out. |
| Interesting concept, annoying MC.. typical bland dude who's "special" for no apparent reason. Why can't it be someone who's chosen by merit? it always has to be like "I'm special because my father/mother/sibling is special". I'm willing to bet this guy is also extremely dense. I can't believe they're able to make a naval battle with otherworldly ships so boring (like how the fuck do you do that?) |

| just started watching Upotte and now I'm watching this; so now there are chicks that are guns and chicks that are warships so far not bothered by CG; this anime could be interesting |
| watched almost all the new anime this season, this anime is pretty much given me some interest, usually I go for spice of life/harem/love story/comedy to give some relaxation. but who doesn't want a girl battleships fighting each other lol |
| i want to fuck the loli submarine. battleships shoud be sunk and scraped. |
Natsu12345 said: silvver said: it's moe warships? can't you do better? This. I have 1 major problem with this show, and 1 minor one. The thing I hated the most is how they sexualize females. You can clearly see that they deliberately show the females' boobs and asses, in the ED sequence, and they just HAD TO MAKE THOSE SHIPS "female". We can never call male and female on equal ground, just based on that. How sad. One minor problem is, how come the fleet consists of only children? They're the MC Gunzou dude's classmates, aren't they? Well that's not much of a problem, if they would just explain to us why did they betray humanity, I mean the rest of the crew. The premise alone would probably work, but they just had to add in so many females for fanservices' sake, as some insurance. Sigh. I just hope that they don't make all the Mental Model females, for equality's sake Hahahahaha that's the best joke I ever heard....wait you are joking aren't you? |
| Well that was stiff and boring, going to drop unfortunately, anyway, good luck to the rest of you that'll be watching hope you enjoy it where I couldn't. |

| Full CG warship and loli-submarine action? Well, I guess everyone needs this kind of series once in a while. |
| Even thought it just going to be 12 episodes, the quality seem pretty good already. The CGs is awesome and the character it's good too. :) |

| You say everything I want to say haha :) iLostReason said: Ok, that was awesome (i wonder how many times did i say it this season?).I was a little bit worried that i might enjoy it less because of the CGI, but its better than i imagined!.Interesting characters, nice OST, battle animations are epic, and most important, THAT setting.Always wanted to watch some anime which is centered around battleship fights.Of course i can't forget about Nano OP as well, which was amazing. Pretty much 8/10 for now. |

| Didn't really like it, going to put it on-hold! |
| I can't stand anime that are animated mostly in CG, so will be dropping this sadly :/ |

I just hope that they don't make all the Mental Model females, for equality's sake -For minor problem: What exactly is your definition of children? Because with exception of Shizuka (glassed girl) they are around 19 years old, which makes them adult in some countries, and even in these where not it hardly can be called children. -For major problem: Gender of ships is cultural, all ships are "females".In English, Japanese, even in my own language. That's how it is and manga provide several strong male characters as well, though I am not sure if anime will use any of them. - Thing you hated most: Yes I agree, I hated it too and think this and effort make girls look "Moe" (and some other anime only flaws) puts it's original work into bad light. |

| My little submarine can't be this cute! - That's what I was thinking during the episode. This show is awesomesauce. Almost as good as manga (which I started reading because of pretty covers of volumes :P and battleships... I love battleships) 3D was perfect. OP is good too. :) 10/10 for me. Also there is explained in the manga why mental models are females. What I'm really waiting for is... |
| Interesting first episode. The CGI didn't bother me much except that the characters looked really stiff at some points. Nice OP and great BGM. 4/5 |
| Woah the CGI in this show is really awful.. the characters looks so damn dull. But it seems pretty interesting nonetheless. |
| So many good anime this season OMG |
| I didn't mind the CGI as much as I thought I would, so far its off to a great start. Dat Nano OP <3 |
[center] |
| I hate CG >:( but this does seem somewhat interesting so I may stay with it, I doubt it though; I really hate CG. Also it was a nice surprise at the end when I heard nano. |
| Recently this season I have stopped rating anime based on the first episode and changing it depending on the ending, I am now reserving my rating till the end... that being said I expect great things from this anime and hope that it doesn't fail to please... I'd say this episode was a great opener to the anime and is at least a 4.5/5 |
 |
| nice story, but why CGI , - -'' |
| that op, Nano <3 |
| The main character's military career must sucks. Stuck being Sergeant Chihaya for all his life. Cruel father *truly understand that the kanji and reading is different, but still sounds close enough* Natsu12345 said: The betrayal they have done so far seems to be taking away i-401 and holding the only Fog Fleet weaponries available to human. It's not like they launched attacks or threaten mankind (outside of having that firepower).One minor problem is, how come the fleet consists of only children? They're the MC Gunzou dude's classmates, aren't they? Well that's not much of a problem, if they would just explain to us why did they betray humanity, I mean the rest of the crew. CMIIW |

I just hope that they don't make all the Mental Model females, for equality's sake I had a good laugh out of this. Best joke on MAL after all the CGI whining bits. Ships are also considered female through tradition so can't argue with something like that. We can't have sexual equality as a human species because people keep trying to push the whole "equality" non-sense that turns things dramatic while trying to sound intelligent. The best thing to do is just act yourself while ignoring the whole "equality drama" bit. Allow the female ships to be female ships. Just watch the show and have fun with it. Yes, CGI is troublesome but it is tolerable enough that you can enjoy the show. |
| story seems somewhat interesting, kinda like if the characters from Upotte!! were playing out the plot from Eureka 7... but the cg ruins it for me. it seems to range from distracting to "i want to stab my brain via eye sockets". don't know if i will drop 'cuz like i said the story is interesting. we'll have to see if the story is good enough to counter balance the visual donkey punch i get from the cg animation |
 |
| I hear Nano as ED singer. ANIME OF THE YEAR. |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| The quality of CGI is damaging to the soul, but it's not too bad and gave me a laugh or two (even if non-intentional). |
| One day we will come upon each other, and for that day my claws, teeth, ears, hands and hair are at the ready. |
| Despite the CG model flaws (I believe they can do better on the modelling, the 'NPC' is so poorly designed), the character movement is still believable and quite fluid. The premise of the show is quite interesting, especially on the concept of the ship having consciousness and humanoid avatar. Of course it is not the first anime to pull that act (even a 'yuri' show Kashimashi did it quite convincingly), but to put those ships onto battle was like a battle royale with moe anthropomorphism. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| So everything is CG? The main cast CG was fine, others were yucky :| Those are some sexy ships :)! I liked it, will watch it through. Nice OP. |
| I am actually not a big SciFi fan but this new series ist just sweet! *_* Love the animation a lot .. even though I didn't like it the first couple of minutes (since I usually don't watch such kind of animes) and already wanted to drop the anime but then ... THEN ... you simply need to endure that and focus on the story ... especially the animation during combat scenes ist just nice ... looking forward how this show will turn out, looks quite promising though :] |
| Whoa, I am good with CG... but I didn't expect this anime will use full CG, even for the people. Kinda cliched since the machine activated with just a touch, like IS and other anime I can't remember. I guess will watch to see more military might. |

| It seems like I was right to presume, that many individuals that will watch this anime is going to have some sort of issue of the CGI animation of this anime. I mean machine doll only had a little CGI, there was even remorse to dislike the anime. I find the story interesting and seemingly reminds like a sort of Pacific Rim without the robots, but more with the naval battle and fighting an unknown entity. So far, for a first episode it the battles are fun to watch, the story seems interesting, and the transition of scenes seems to blend well. I'll look forward to the next episode, since this anime going to battles,battles,battles. You sunk my loli battleship!!!! |
| The most cheap CGI I have ever seen. Drop rate is high because the lvl to get eye cancer is high. |
| Can't watch... CG characters just too distracting... |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| I'm waiting for the 501st Joint Fighter Wing to fly in and save the day... |
| Not bad, I enjoyed it. |
 |
| Strongly reminds me of code geass |
 |
| so a battleship anime, interesting setting |
 |
| CGI is awesome for battles so it suites this story well. The only thing I'm worried about was the movements, it's unnatural for most parts like walking, turning, and such. Despite all that I think it's good, animation-wise. And those ships are so fucking cute. I'd give a +10 for the charm. PS: The moment I heard the ending I was so sure this was nano. HORRAAAH! Been performing theme songs for a couple of 2013 anime now. Good for her, not to mention that voice is appropriate for action anime like this one. |
