Anime/Hai-Furi, The High School Fleet

"I've got Zimbabwean currency, will that work?"

In other news, mind-controlling rodents. Really?

In a box from a company named Abyss. Not suspicious at all, I swear.

So we're looking at a conspiracy orchestrated by a mail order company?

"Yup. That tasted purple."

Oh, yeah, the fact that ships apparently need cats the prevent subversion by abyssal rodents does put certain things about Kan Colle in a new light

And the mail-order company could well be just a middle man

Not really sure if that was entirely serious at this point.

Speaking of Kan Colle connections, the Harekaze just swapped out its 12.7cms for 10cm H As with fire controls. They now have Chou-Rensouhous!

So, how did the ocean just spit out Tama-chan like that? I mean, realistically, there's no way she could just jump out like that even with that mind-control thing.

We... don't know. Even 4ch can't give a convincing answer as to what happened.

What we DO know though is that, according to the credits of this episode, it had fourteen animation directors. That's ALWAYS a bad sign, and if you haven't watched Shirobako, this is the point where the production crew starts running around like chickens with their heads missing.

So Wilhelmina's name has been shortened to "Mina"? (Granted, it's one "n" less than Minna, but still close enough... Woo hoo!) ^{The line in question} "Mina has requested a tour of the ship." (Said by Mashiro's friend whose name escapes me at the moment. - Ed.)

Also, the Euro is one of the highest-valued currencies in the world! (Besides the Pound Sterling and the good old US Dollar.)

Hopefully, that's not from the Abyssal Fleet... (*Later sees one of the bridge crew get Yuudachi-like red eyes*) Yikes... I've seen Soviet mind-controlled squid and mind-controlling psychics, a supervillain who mind-raped nearly an entire city, and a level 5 esper with mind-control powers, but a mind-controlling...hamster? What.

Reminds me of how the Fleet of Fog got its name (because of the fog—actually nanomaterial—that often presages their actual presence).

Hope Misaki told the captains of the Akashi and Mamiya about the distress call they received from the Musashi.

And finally, I went on Danbooru and I found this. ^{If you don't want to click on the link...} ...it's basically KanColle's Suzuya cosplaying as Wilhelmina.

"Learn as if you will live forever, live as if you will die tomorrow."

For the sake of the plot, that ain't gonna happen. xD

Akari & Georgette are best waifus..

Sounds like genetically-made hamsters for some biological mind-control stuff...

Anyways that explain the reason why the Mamiya and the Akashi (and probably other ships) didn't go loco, because of the cats after all, they ensure to prevent rodent infestation in a ship.

The last part is suspending...

So the mastermind behind the Harekaze's ordeal were madness-inducing rodents? Now who would go through the trouble to genetically alter rodents...

So it's less of a conspiracy and more of a secret experiment gone awry?

Whoa, who knew Tama was crazy strong and athletic. The future is now thanks to madness!

I hope there's no human conspiracy, just a bunch of rats that want to take over the world.

Should we brace ourselves for the appearance of Pinky and the Brain ?

@147 Since when could 4ch give anything resembling reliable, convincing answers?

The only resource you need for tropes

[I hope there's no human conspiracy, just a bunch of rats that want to take over the world.]

Too bad, it starting to look like one.

After contacting Mike, Moka found the rat and the rest is history..

Akari & Georgette are best waifus..

I'm also guessing that Musashi does end up being hostile and Mike will be forced to fight her best friend. I'm actually interested to see how will they take on a Yamato-class battleship.

But first, Mamiya & Akashi will becomes Musashi's victims..

And there will be a mutiny within Harekaze as well.

But fortunately there's no casualties so far (assuming the submarine crew survived) so there's a chance that things will stay that way.

Indeed. I assure that the Arashi and Mamiya might got attacked so they'll probably send a distress signal too...

Preview.

So it looks like the Harekaze and the Blue Mermaids either intercept or are intercepted by Musashi. Looks like a lot of sinking ships there.

The red or the blue..?

And Mike will have Heroic BSoD

I heard someone say that episode five apparently ran into some scheduling snafus with a channel. However, given that there's a PV, it looks like that's completely wrong, and there will be an episode to enjoy this Saturday.

Oh wow, in addition to mind-controlling people into raging berserks, those rodents are also living EW systems, able to affect "modern" communication systems and even digital watches. And they might even be capable of teleporting — how else a few of them managed to appear on the deck of one of the instructors' ship?

So I can't tell if that was meant to be a Breather Episode or not.
