| The episode was decent but I can't get use with the C.G. yet. Few more episodes or first drop of the season. |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| I not usually a manga reader preferably i just want to watch an anime series but with these 2 episodes it got me hooked actually start reading the manga and from the chapters i have read already this series is awesome Regardless of the CGI if they keep adapting the storyline for this anime as it is in the manga it would be great if not and it goes into its own story ( which i hope it does not) it at least manage to convince me to start reading which not many series have made me do so, this is my third manga series i have ever started. So there. It's a shame that the CGI is pulling a lot of people out because it is a good series and the action is great I love a naval submarine combat anime but they are so rare u never see them |
| Pretty cool, although the first few minutes were just a lot of talking. That CG was refreshing for about one episode, as I'm already starting to dislike it and imagine how much better it would have looked normally. |
 |
| Read ahead in the manga since i got more interested about these ships of the fog's betrayals... and I gotta say, the story is really interesting so far there. :3 |

MagicFlier said: It really is one of those interesting things, and really endeared the manga to me. Based on the premise, you'd expect a robo-harem with some action. Instead, you get a surprisingly well thought out military and political thriller. Go figure.Read ahead in the manga since i got more interested about these ships of the fog's betrayals... and I gotta say, the story is really interesting so far there. :3 |
Barion-Zara said: Loved it! Seems like I've already gotten used to the CG. I expected it'll take me a few more eps but it wasn't that bad this ep. Loved Takao. She's Hot! and cute (when she blushed) And it seems she joins the harem? XD She did say she wants that unit (Gunzou) XD Anyway really nice battle. The strategies and animation was awesome. Gunzou is friggin BA. He looked like a BOSS when he was standing with Iona in front of Takao after defeating her ^^ I can't wait to see all the fog members. All of them seem pretty unique in the OP&ED. Their character design looks pretty too :) my thoughts exactly. I hope we can get more battles like this. Im really starting to like this show. |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
| I want Hyuuga's episode. She is not ordinary battleship but battlecarrier. |
| From feedback I read in Japanese forums, the complaints are mainly on the character CG but there are also many people giving praise to how much character CG has improved as shown by this anime. I think those who really cannot get used to the CG will have dropped by now, and for many once they get used to it the action and story look decent. Since many find the CG ship girls like Iona and Takao really moe, I guess we should chalk it up as an achievement on CGI front. And I love how the ED connects all the ship girls... |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| This episode is indeed super epic! I love that battleships battle, and that strategy, though I can't fully understand everything. I wtf'ed at the end, please don't fuucking turn this into a harem. Damn I prefer Chihaya Gunzou to have only those few crewmates, and no ally, for now at least. Those Fog's battleships are no joke. It was epic from the start to when the battle ended, after that the little tea party was really.. well.. just for fanservice -.- I also don't like how they draw the 501 Mental Model's pinky lips and boobies outline, gahh too much fanservices!! P.S. I have nothing against fanservices, but it's not suitable for these kind of scenario!! This episode is indeed better than the previous one, and hopefully they keep this up ^^ Freakin love the crew already. |

| Iona (to Gunzou): RIDE ME. ;-p |

| DAT Tsundere heavy cruiser. |
| 5/5 If the battle lasted a little more would have been an epic episode, so today I call epic in the middle! XD Very simple plot, the good guys trying to make the soles of shoes to bad! Get it? I was clear! ASD Interesting narrative, there is a lot of preparation, this is a sign of seriousness, galvanizes you, too bad Takao chapters soon. Ah ~! The ship tsundere already goes on ...! Yes you read right, it will be strange, but for me it's the first time I see a ship tsundere! XD Too bad the character she is cambinando so quickly, I would have preferred a slow passage! So it runs too! D: Animations better than before! Comedy cute! Come on, a 5/5 for inicitare the authors to do better! : D |
 |
| That supergravity canon! But I am more amazed with Takao's naval weapons. The cgi still takes time to be used to for the character design but it looks pretty good with the cruiser's transformations and the weapons. |
| The navel combat will keep me coming back for more. I like it when they spend the time to think things out and strategize. Hopefully this will have a little spark and turn out like starship operators. If not, a ship girl harem is fine too. |
| I don't know you, but I'm getting already used to the CGI, the fights were really well-made, also they were pretty brilliant. I just hope Takao (Best girl), will ally with the MC and there he starts to make his own harem of ships. I just need now to know a little background on the characters to sympathize with them, because they don't say me anything right now. OP pretty good, OST fabulous. Can't wait for the album. |

| Do I smell a harem in the making? lol |

| Cute ED. Barion-Zara said: Awe! http://i44.tinypic.com/dqqcxx.jpg <- that CG does not look bad at allLoved Takao. She's Hot! and cute (when she blushed) I really enjoyed this episode. I hope the future battles continue at this level of excitement. This anime is turning out to be one of my favorites this season. |

| Figuring out an observation submarine supporting and very close in proximity to Takao was a brilliant deduction from Gunzou! I was wondering what 501 looks like as an anthropomorphic character but she got destroyed and we're probably not gonna see her anymore. Anyway I was wondering since last episode what the German text in 401's hull was so I googled it. It seems to be lines from the poem "Sprüche des Konfucius" (Sayings of Confucius) by Friedrich von Schiller: Dreifach ist der Schritt der Zeit Zögernd kommt die Zukunft hergezogen, Pfeilschnell ist das Jetzt entflogen Ewig still steht die Vergangenheit. I found an English translation which I liked and itself a citation in another book, A Mind Always in Motion: The Autobiography of Emilio Segrè. The footnote indicates the translation is from Poems of Schiller by John D. Williams; Threefold is the march of time: While the future slow advances, Like a dart the present glances, Silent stands the past sublime.[sic] |

Marce2012 said: Have a feeling this might turn out to be a harem type anime or something like it, great episode! It doesn't look it will turn out that way, but it would make a good setting for a harem. The mental models are all females, so there's a possibility he'll unknowingly steal their hearts and side with him. In the future, I hope other fog would side with Gunzou. He's gonna need allies, or a fleet with him. Its' almost impossible to fight them with I-401 alone since he'll find enemies in both the fog and human sides. |
| I'm basically watching this for the cute girls. Takao is lovely. |
| 00:49 please sink me, next 04:34 <3 08:02 let us engage, Takao 21:00 yay Takao's still alive <3 LOL. It was okay. 6/10 for this ep. Putting this on-hold. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |

| Pretty entertaining episode. Liking this show so far. Can't wait for them to explain the origin and motives behind the Fleet of Fog. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| Good episode. Very entertaining ship battle. Btw did anyone notice those posters ? |
 |
| Still not sure whether I like this or not..hmm..was a bit bored.. The CG is fine they blend in pretty good if you ask me, well Gunzou looks weird everyone else is fine. So...ship harem? o.o |
| Dat mechanic and her poses. http://postimg.org/image/3y9d1bb4f/ People are right about CGI not being good enough to replace humans. For the battles is fine enough but human movements a facial expressions are better represented by clear 2D animation. CG makes them move like weird robots. Phaetons_Folly said: The episode was good, but the surprise derp gun killed it for me. This series feels a lot less interesting knowing Submarine 401 has a weapon that most likely could instantly kill any opponent. The other ship had the same type weapon too so i don't see where the problem is. |
| Tsundere harem member is coming!!! Also the fight 401 against Hyuuga.. There isn't in any episode right? Cute end card xD DannyREN said: So...ship harem? o.o Doesn't matter as long it's harem xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Definitely better than the first episode. Things flowed together a lot smoother, though that could have been because more than half the episode was spent in a battle. xD |
 |
| Gunzou is really a good captain,he saved the ship. I like how this is going :D Iolo said: And Takao falls in love with a mere human? I also thought the same. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Pretty neat episode, it's still hard to look besides the cgi but other than that the story is well developing. |
 |
| I play too much kantai collection to be able to watch this series objectively. |
| Torpedo rain !!! Great strategy and action against Takao. Liked the transformation to use the big ass cannon. Loved the end of the episode Takao end up being so tsuntsun so damn cute. |
 |
| boats falling in love to gunzou O.o |
Stitches327 said: The start of a beautifully weird submarine harem. My thoughts exactly. The question now is how big the fleet will be. |
 |
| rewatching Takao = best girl ship lol at all the girls' measurements in the OP. Super-gravity-cannon! Love watching them take out that sub hiding under Takao with that thing. Battleship with cute girls AND lasers! |
|
| That was really entertaiging. I'm liking this better that I thought. The CGI is a bit bothersome but I am getting used to it. I like both the OP and the ED. Is it gonna become a battleship harem? If it can even be called a harem. They're ships, not girls. lol Great episode. |
| This is my first warship girl anime, are they usually this hard to follow? I'm having a hard time understanding the character's intentions, let alone their stiff complex of unlimited child power. 2/5 |
 |
| I still love this show, rewatxhing it. Komgou best girl. :) The emotions come later tho iona will stay kind of stiff rest i wont spoil. I like the cgi or well lets say it doesnt bother me nor do i really praise it to heaven. Great action and takao cute tsundere :P blushing there |
