In a way this series is amazing.. making battleship war so boring and bland. Maybe it's because of the flat, boring, and pretty much gary stu characters. The fog battleships are disappointing me, it's like they are really, really dumb. Without the superior technology they'd be nothing but pretty faces. I can't believe humanity lost to such a disorganized, easily deceived enemies.
They are learning.
Yamato Kongou said it last episode, they're dumb when it comes to tactics, which the Fog concluded it's because they're just living in the present (don't think of the past or future). Besides, the ships are almost immortal if left alone.

Mental Models are their solution in trying to emulate human. By mimicking human form, and most importantly human's personality and way of thinking, they want to be able to think and adapt to situation like human does rather than just trample every resistance with overwhelming power.

But the result is quite random, not like they can just make any personality convenient to them. Besides, what is an army with 100 genious strategist that think exactly the same way.

Kirishima<3,dat body and dat ass hnngg.

Docking,ohh so that's why Kirishima and Haruna are working together.

Intense battle,alot of action and impressive tactics from Gunzou.

Haruno was hiding such a body under that coat *A*.

Is that really her body though,cause at first I thought it was Haruno and Kirishima's mental modes/bodies merged together since they were defeated while they were docked?

I think that perhaps Haruna's mental model didn't take a direct hit like Kirishima's did, which may explain why she didn't evaporate too...

Also, who the heck is the little girl at the end? Why does she so easily identify alien nanoparticles?

That... would be a really huge spoiler. She plays a really prominent role in the manga later on and it's not good to spoil her background too much. All I can tell you is that she's more than what she seems and that she's a super-genius.

WTF Kirishima's fanservices, someone STOP PLEASE!! It's very distracting, grr!

That body (in undergarments) of Haruna at the end.. I don't mind it that much if it's not in the midst of battle, still, is there a point of undressing her? It's not like her coat is easily removable. -.- Man please stop with dem fanservices already..

Epic is epic and I am impressed by how the (sunken) urbanscape with the Mikasa old ship was used to Iona's advantage. The plan is so intricate and meticulously executed. The odd of winning is something near GirlPan's level. The two new ship girls are likeable too, and the more interesting one survives (and following the manga, survives in her underwear form lol).
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.

Well there is no helping it I guess, and I doubt there will be any explanation as to why did her clothes got removed when she flew into the warehouse. Purely for fanservice's purpose, huh..

Haruna's fanservice was aaaaaaaaaaaaaah , gooding.

5/5

The sheer power can not exceed the experience and pre-tactical, the plot makes this clear. Fluid narrative and reflective, this time it does not end immediately and opens up new questions.
I am anxious to know, I love when you look at an animated series and not read the manga, there is more pathos and involvement because you are not affected! * _ *
At this rate, as mentioned previously, the bad girls will die soon! LOL
Technically I do not pay more if the 3DCG, I'm used to and it's not so bad if you see it is not streaming, I guess. I can not wait to have the release in BD! * _ *
Very intense throughout the episode, the highest grade! : D

Just being torn to pieces by micro black hole like that won't stop her from being squishable though

On real world reference.
Could military submarine actually navigate through underwater channel like that ? Even if the tunnel is 3-4 times wider than the ship.
…with only sonar to guide them
Scientific submarine probably could because they have visual sensors and made to do more delicate movements

Hey pretty explosions! Woot! XD

Though no battle plan survives enemy contact, I'm impressed of the good use of deception one after the other, enemy intel, knowledge of terrain and the prevailing conditions (tidal currents caused by vents), heck I think Sun Tzu would be proud too! XD

So mental models can survive outside their ships? I've seen Iona go out of her ship but I thought she was an exception. Oh well.

Shame about Kirishima. She was a total babe.


True that, total babe indeed. Haruna showed she has more than we think there at the end too but how does she have a form after her ship got destroyed? Hopefully Kirishima was saved somehow, i will to see her sexy poses with that hot body again.

Easily deceived is an exaggeration, they followed decent basic tactics and i know most humans would have lost even with a fog ship like Iona at their disposal. Only very few will outsmart them enough to win against superior firepower. You just feel like that after you've seen how the MC tricked them. But would you have manage to do or think it yourself? I doubt it.

Besides in the last episode their leader said that they only managed to win because they had an enormous technological advantage. Basically human firepower was so weaker that not all the smart tricks in the world could save them but they recognized their weakness of tactics and that is why they created human models that can even have personality hoping such models will give them the human ability for tactics.

I am now used to the CGI because of the CGI fanservice ahahahah.
No, seriously, I am now used to the CGI.
The fight was really intense and awesome.
Gunzou is pretty clever, he got a cool crew.
Kirishima got them hot body and pretty face but she is a bitch.......which is kinda okay :3
I think she will comeback somehow because Haruna got that thing from her body.
Haruna, fuck that big ass coat, do not wear it again. I thought you were a loli too but damn, that is some sexy body and sweet pantsu :3
I can still watch some episodes but I can't understand shit anymore. I feel sleepy already probably because I woke up kinda early today.
