For reference of bringing guns to bear, I give the story of the USS Samuel B. Roberts vs IJN Chokai at the Battle of Samar.

TL;DR: Chokai couldn't shoot low enough and the Roberts got off a torpedo that disabled it.

Wilhelmina and Thea are totally just friends.

Also, really, 30 minutes to get away from Spee's main armaments' range? On the second thought, it might be actually believable since Harekaze can't just turn around and run away, and instead has to put some distance while going in parallel with Spee.

P.S. I find it extremely hard to believe that no one got turned into bloody paste by that direct hit/explosion. 152 mm HE shell (and Spee's secondary cannons are just about this caliber) has a good chance of killing entrenched infantry even 200 meters away. 400m for those out in the open. A paper-thin armor of Harekaze just wouldn't be able to stop such an explosion. Likewise, a direct hit for Harekaze's guns earlier should have done way more damage than it did. Even if the shells were actually blanks.

So I'm pretty sure I recognise Thea's voice but nowhere seems to have her listed.

Remember that sometimes logic doesn't apply well in anime (just like Gu P) evil grin and they're using those airbags again to ensure they won't blown out of the room so... They're like damecons...

Anyways that Thea reminds me of a certain Russian loli in that anime again [lol]

And don't forget, someone showing up in a hatch survives from a direct hit from a Centurion. cool

Just when you think Mashiro's luck (or lack thereof) wouldn't be a part of this episode, this happens. [lol]

Heal the Cutie, then point the Laser-Guided Karma and Disaster Dominoes towards the Asshole Victim that had wronged her. I love this plot line!

wild mass guess Admiral Spee 'Mina will be back for the grand finale and will assist Harekaze against Musashi.

At this point I'm expecting every other vessel featured in the show to do that.

The funny thing is that this is still more plausible than Girls Und Panzer

So, fun episode, heavy on the yuri subtext. One girlfriend successfully rescued

I'll admit, that was probably the silliest boarding action I've watched. [lol] The silly watergun kata, the zombie-like crew of the Graf Spee... Yeah.

Isoroku: "Mine!"[lol]


This time, the Harekaze initiated combat. It was quite energetic.

Funny, I thought the virus gave possessed people super awesomeness.tongue Cool stuff, Raid Team!

Maybe a Machiko Fan Club could become a reality?tongue

Kouko sure was adamant about seeing this operation through. Wilma's her friend, after all. But partings are still painful. But worry not, Kouko. I believe the Spee will be back for the Musashi fight. Because I'm pretty sure the Harekaze can't do this alone. ...Especially with its current damages. It'll be a different story if the Harekaze runs into the Musashi before meeting up with the Akashi, though...

Second one being Akeno / Mashiro / Moeka?

On a completely unrelated note, I wonder what would be the local's first reaction, should Iona suddenly appeared in their waters? Submarine doing 80 knots o_o

A certain Graf Spee crewmember looks familiar, poi...

(Well, Akeno does resemble Error Musume...)

[up][up] Akeno will have to do quite some convincing to get Moeka and Mashiro to agree to that — those two don't look like someone who will like sharing. wink

Well, I'm pretty sure that I-201 isn't the only submarine out there. After all, the lab where those virus-carrying hamsters/rats were created too was a boat... That said, I-400 sisters might not exist there because heavier-than-air aviation doesn't. And they were designed as submersible carriers.

That's probably THE first time I've seen the Line Crossing ceremony portrayed in anime, and whaddaya know? It's appropriately goofy.

To be fair you don't normally see the line crossing in anything. Only other thing I've seen it in was when a documentary crew went fly on the wall on HMS Bulwark on a Pacific deployment.
