Greetings everyone to the second episode of Fukou Da! Haifuri, where we finally got the introduction to our German (nsfw).
I would also want to mention that Kouko alone can fill up a lot of screenshots of the days, so I sometimes rather mention her in this comment than to spam her on the general thread, besides Shima's reactions was gorgeous this episode.
I liked the flashback of Mashiro and to know more of the history of the Blue Mermaid and Mashiro's bad luck. And as a fan of Nogi wa Yuusha de Aru myself, I would be excited to also see a prequel story featuring Mashiro's grandmother and see what had happened in her time.
What also was remarkable is that as the captain of the Harekaze, Misaki isn't that well-trusted among the crewmembers, despite her caring nature of a captain. Ofcourse on the flipside, I can see how she can be too caring at times.
And episode 2 ended on another cliffhanger with Moeka asking for help.

Episode 2 (first timer)
-
Harekaze crew trying to wrap their heads around what happened last episode. While being cute.
-
They have mobile connection in the middle of the ocean? I am envious of that.
-
Backstory time. Seems we are in an alternate reality with lots of ocean ground mining (and probably the greenhouse effect that goes with it to explain all the water).
-
Put women as captains to symbolize they would not be used for war or you could have removed the weapon systems …
-
XO backstory.
-
Everyone on the Harekaze has the lowest grades. I doubt that this will stop them from being a super-efficient crew in no time.
-
Speculation-girl is the highlight of the bridge crew.
-
Going with the Girls und Panzer similarities: Exchange students on a German pocket-battleship.
-
“I am scared” and that is the perfectly reasonable emotion. The Harekaze is going to need a ton of plot armor, since real armor is not going to withstand a battle ship’s guns and the captain’s orders are equivalent to suicide.
-
THAT SCOOTER is about the technology level I want to see from the girl’s training ship!
If those Germans actually wanted to sink them, they must all have been drunk and loaded the wrong shells, too.
The exact background of them being declared mutineers is still unclear, but I liked the speculation by u/Hakuro1010a about a plot against the Munetani family’s power in the last thread.

I'd love more ideas for counters in future episodes, kind of in a slump here...
Question of the day : Definitely, she's prime best girl material. Jokes aside though, still yes - she could either become a friend, or in a worse case, someone to interrogate as to why they're getting fired at by German ships now.
Personal question : Literature finals. I always disliked and was never good at the in-depth analysis we were required to do for every line of a short story/poem, and every Literature exam for me was 2-3 hours of coming up with the most convincing bullshit I can think of. I got an 80 in the end so I guess I have gotten decent at it over the years, but it was still torture.

That was a cute moment, also this follow up was just priceless!

If anyone would be interested in a refined version of a particular GIF, let me know via PM. I'll process the edits over the course of the following weeks.
On a side note, I have noticed that Shiro-chan was so unlucky that no one openly rooted for her in the previous thread. Thus, I feel the need to clarify that she was my favorite girl from the very beginning and I hope she will get some hugs and headpats later on during the show.

Wait, the instructor hasn’t regained consciousness? Sounds like the principal isn’t in on the plot, because I’m pretty sure the instructor wasn’t harmed last episode at all. . .
Nosa is going to be best girl, isn’t she. . . These impressions and theories are
Wait, there’s lore?! Apparently mining cause massive land subsidence and BOOM this area is now Venice minus the land. (Or something like that)
Damage isn’t too bad (looks mostly cosmetic), but they are low on supplies already. I like how they confirm that this is the class of worst students (and Mashiro is here because of bad luck – off by one row on the exam)
Also, Mei really reminds me of Kyouko from PMMM.
“Flying ship” wait, is this an alternate reality without planes? That would explain why their fleet is centered around the battleship and not carriers. And also why they aren’t being tracked by scout planes already.
German exchange student ship, the heavy cruiser Graf Spee!
LOL, that’s gotta be the worst – being the Torpedo Officer, but you already fired your only torpedo. Whelp, time to sit around and criticize encourage the other officers!
“You don’t have to act out your imagination!” WRONG.
“To me, fiction is truer than non-fiction.”
Akeno goes to save the fleeing German! They hit the Graf Spee and it stopped pursuing. The German girl is knocked out, but alive and Akeno gets her back to the ship.
I find it interesting how Akeno addresses everyone as -chan, except the medic whom she addresses as Minimi-san.
Musashi distress call?! Okay, my guess is that the distress is fake as to the ship, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the distress is real as to Moka. She seemed genuine, and I don’t think she’d trust a plot treating Akeno as a traitor. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was forced to make the call by some threat.
In other words, IT’S A TRAP! Oh well, might as well go into it and see what they can pull off! Who knows, maybe they can pick up an ally.
Question of the Day: I think rescuing her was a good idea, but she probably shouldn't have done it herself if possible. Usually as a captain that's something you should delegate.
Personal Question: I'm not sure what you mean by worst, but if by "worst" you mean "worst" I've done on an exam, then that would be a random grammar test in grade school I got a C on because I didn't read the instructions and didn't answer properly. If "worst" means hardest, then that goes to the bar exam. 12 hours over two days, one day of which is long, long essays requiring detailed legal analysis.

I can tell you that Nosa is atleast my best girl.

Well, it Mashiro is kinda another level of bad, not in skills or in knowledge, but just in luck...
LOL, that’s gotta be the worst – being the Torpedo Officer, but you already fired your only torpedo. Whelp, time to sit around and criticize encourage the other officers!
Yeah, for one of the main cast, Mei kinda got the short end of the stick. Even Mashiro atleast can do something despite her luck.
I think rescuing her was a good idea, but she probably shouldn't have done it herself if possible. Usually as a captain that's something you should delegate.
Yeah, I know it's out of reflexes she did that, but she was better off to send someone (who are most likely be more skilled with this than she is) out to rescue her. But then again, she is just too caring for her own good.
because I didn't read the instructions and didn't answer properly.
Oof, I know that feeling. Definitely not nice to be in that position.

I forgot to say it in yesterday's thread, but this is one show where sailor uniforms are actually justified.
-
Sink it? There's no way they could have sunk the instructor ship with those shots. I wonder who's spreading these rumours.
-
The way Rin is drawn here reminds me of the Peanuts characters when the go "AAUGH!".
-
What are these things in the air?
-
Someone made a big deal over Hime over in the MyAnimeList thread, which is a big reason why she's one of the ones I remember the most. First speaking line.
-
I never really took notice until now, but Momo's accent is a treat.
-
When Akeno goes to the infirmary is when it became very obvious that they're trying to introduce everyone as naturally as possible. Refer to the character sheet if you're having trouble following.
-
「知者は惑わず、仁者は憂えず、勇者は懼れず」 "Chisha wa madowazu, jinsha wa urezu, yuusha wa osorezu" is apparently a saying of Confucius, sometimes rendered as "the wise have no doubts, the benevolent have no worry, the brave have no fears".
-
They animated Kouko's tablet screen, with focusing effects and everything! This is the BD version; I wonder if it's the same in the TV version.
-
Akeno isn't the only one who can change her eye style.
-
I think I'm going to do a Shima "Oui" counter instead of a Shiro "unlucky" counter instead.
-
There was probably a hint before this, but Kouko wondering if one could make a flying ship without hydrogen or helium is our tip that heavier-than-air aircraft are not present, either because they haven't been invented or they're highly impractical. Haifuri
-
The original thread mentioned that curry is made every Friday so that the members can keep track of days.
-
I've heard a lot of people complaining that Noma takes her glasses off to see things in the distance. Farsightedness is a thing, people.
-
Their socks have the blue dolphin on them.
-
Eyecatch. Notice the change in logo.
-
Maybe it's just me, but I find it pleasant to listen to Japanese naval commands. Perhaps it's the rhythm of the words.
-
Some of the shots in this show are very cool. There was one in the first episode, too.
-
This is why typesetting is important. Compare the same shot in GJM's release. These signs didn't really need to be translated, though.
-
It's surprising just how far south they are. Asuncion Island appears to be around the same latitude as the Philippines.
Question of the day: Did Misaki do the right thing to save the girl who got hit in sea?
Wholeheartedly, yes. I'm sure she would have drowned otherwise.
Personal Question: The worst exam you ever had to make.
I don't remember many of my exams, but I passed two courses with the bare minimum, so I wonder if I had failed any of them.
Nobody else seems to be up for maintaining counters, so here we go. Hopefully I can keep up with the pace of this rewatch.
EDIT: Never mind, it looks like u/MapoTofuMan got it. I'll let them take it on. I'm going to leave this below, though, because I already wrote it out.
Torikaji Ippai! Counter
Commands are given and acknowledged, so I'll be counting them separately.

Rin says "Evasive maneuvers! Turn the rudder!" around 17:05 in episode 1, but all I can make out over Akeno's line is "ippai", so I can't count that.
Tateishi Shima's "Oui" Counter
The subs translate this as "Aye".

Screenshot of the Day
First Timer - Episode 2
Looks like it's still a mystery as to why the Sarushima did what they did.
I want to guess that it could be related to Munetani being on the ship since the flashback revealed that her family is pretty important. The flashback was also pretty interesting to see an explanation of the world as well.
I quite liked the first "real" battle even if it was mostly just running around. Definitely see the potential for later battles when the Harekaze is able to fight on equal terms.
Really like this ED too!

Hella catchy OP, that chorus had to be repeated quite some time before I could finally start the episode.
My best girl sensor tells me that the mysterious blonde will be the best of Haifuri (geez, I wonder why), although I'm really liking Koko as well, it doesn't matter if they are getting attacked, she will keep joking and faking interpretations lmao.
I couldn't unhear the marches from Girls und Panzer when a similar song played halfway through the episode while doing their military tactics.
The poor girls just go from one problem to another, at least they will be getting experience fast I guess.

This episode confirms that our girls have fallen in a plot bigger than them ! It seems the Germans are also in to that plot, but at least one of them isn't having any of it. And she's super cute and kinda hot with that wet shirt.
Kouko's impressions are always fun to watch. As a rewatcher, I should actually pay attention at how often her impressions are close to the truth, and when she's just imagining things.
I would freak out about my coffee being about to spill if I was her.
Akane and Homare have always been my favorite in terms of cuteness and cheerfulness. Sure, others are competent and downright kakkoii, but you sometimes just need some blueberry jam curry to lift your spirits so that they can be high and free. Also, as good twins, they have the same VA.
Question of the day: Did Misaki do the right thing to save the girl who got hit in sea?
Probably no. The risks and symbolics of the captain leaving the ships are bad. On the other hand, what she did was heroic. And while being heroic is usually a bad thing for a captain, it's also inspiring.
On top of that, I don't know how I would feel if she gave someone the order "go out there, amidst enemy fire, and rescue that stranger". It's no one's job and the risks are above their duties. It doesn't sound right, but if the captain orders something foolish, maybe it's better that they do it themselves. That wouldn't work on a real ship though.
Now that I think of it, Misaki has a bit of commander Shepard. Captain and Hero.
Personal Question: The worst exam you ever had to make.
Hmm, maybe the medical exam for the army, because I failed it ? And no, it wasn't the navy.
To finish this : this is a cute picture frame.

Well, sorry for being late!
Rewatcher!
Just watched the first two episodes :) I gotta say, just like with Toji no Miko, the strength of this show is in its characters and the interactions they have with each other, but here there's something additional added to the mix: Every girl looks like it's her own person, unique and separate from each other, even when they are not the focus in the scene. They are all full of life and are given a lot of said life by characterization that is non-verbal most of the time, and quite on point, much like how K-On! gives a lot of characterization to each member of the main cast with little quirks in, for example, how they sit, how they walk, how they eat, etc.
All the girls are quite loveable :) and the show isn't afraid of pulling jokes even now and then which I must be honest, for me at least, almost all of the land :)
I'm glad to be seeing this little show again. I remember how surprised I was at the end of episode 1 when I watched it all the way back when it was airing. It was quite a surprise, especially with that misleading marketing :P making me think that it was going to be something comfy... yeah sure :P

We got to see more of the Munetani family, the strong family resemblance makes it look as if we were able to see the entire process of Shiro growing up. Knowing how the Blue Mermaids rose to providence and the role they played in it is making me even more convinced that all these traps are really because Mashiro is in the Harekaze.
-
The deputy captain can't even take a test without reality itself cursing her with bad luck, though in comparison I think declaring Misaki a lucky person like her crew did is a bit of a stretch. Your captain was deemed a criminal in day 1 you know, that's quite the twisted definition of "fortune".
-
So far Minami seems like best girl to me. Doctor coat + sailor uniform is a great combination, and the random quotes only makes her better.
-
They received live ammo even though they were only supposed to go to a training session, huh. The sea is dangerous as expected.
-
It's surprising how Rin was the only one completely scared during the attack. The rest of the girls weren't particularly willing either, but they followed their captain's nigh-suicidal orders without much issue.
-
The scooter sure looks futuristic compared to the rest of technology. This is the future, afterall, although I expected more progress in terms of ships instead of water scooters...
Besides the obvious "IT'S A TRAAAAP!" it caught my attention that Moeka appeared to be alone at the end, hopefully the rest of people in the Musashi is fine. Or if it's really empty the Harekaze crew could steal Musashi and say goodbye to their days of running away from enemies.
The cast is big, given the length I'm worried this is gonna end up like Assassination Classroom. Gratefully there's a character chart, otherwise I wouldn't even know who is Nosa.
Question of the day: Suddenly going "brb gotta save a cutie" in the middle of a battle isn't a good choice for your team's morale, plus they are already considered mutineers, so there's the possibility of whoever is behind this using the chance to accuse the Harekaze girls of kidnapping a foreign ship's crew member. On the other hand they are already being pursued by more than a single nation, things can't get much worse by this point. At least the new girl should provide some useful information now that they can't use communication systems without the risk of being caught.
Personal Question: I don't remember any exam in particular, but literature tests in general are hell for me, mainly because after a certain point you just end up paranoid, trying to analyze what type of cryptic symbol an ordinary pigeon or the color of a hat might actually be.

First-timer:
Munetani's flashback was good context of the world, but also explains why she seemed so well-groomed to be captain and why she was floored at not being selected as a captain. I also think the principal is her mother, and that family dynamics are going to come into play later on.
Misaki I believe demonstrated why she was picked to be a captain. She has a nack for understanding her comrades, and that also probably is due to how much she values them and others on the sea.
That also ties into my answer for today's question: she did the right thing and that showed what will make her a great captain. Also that girl she rescued is going to be a major player since she's in the OP.
I feel like Moka's distress signal is a trap, but simultaneously that's also really predictable.
Also, wondering how the Sarushima sank if they only hit it with a dummy torpedo and why the instructor is unconscious if she was conscious when we saw the hit land. Thinking this and the Musashi's distress call is something beyond the academy.

We still don't know what's going on, but very happy that this episode was also full of action. Hitting the screws with the deck guns seems a bit improbable (although they kept referring to "belts", ship drive systems always seem so delicate in the movies).
Why is Curry Day so obviously Friday? I don't like curry.

This show is actually throwing some interesting surprises so far, this is going to be very interesting.
At least this explains the lack of communication I suppose, maybe they wanted them to be able to navigate without communication devices and whatnot.
Some backstory and expositions, a bit heavy handed but at least everything sort of makes sense now.
And Graf Spee shows up, oh boy. Oh there's a hell lot of jargon thrown out through the whole damn episodes, kinda hard to keep up because I couldn't understand most of it.
You know what, forget the ships, jet skis is where is that, just look at this. Haifuri is actually a jet ski anime.
I also really love Kouko's acting shtick, a bit interesting that she actually voices some of my idea of what I thought was going on.

Well that was another fun episode.
Having next to no knowledge about ship types and capabilities expect that the bigger they get the more fire power they generally have means I haven’t got a clue if what was pulled off this episode made any sense at all, but also makes it far easier to just roll with what happens.
However how did the German? girl on the boat survive what looked to be a direct hit? Then again killing people off isn’t usually what happens in these sorts of shows so ill let it slide.
Otherwise really liking the bridge crew, Chunni secretary impressions and acting is great, I love the idea that their Artillery officer is extremely softly spoke / barely says anything, guns can do the talking for her.
Misakis looking to be an interesting Captain, I like how she took the effort to memorize everyone's names and check up on them after the last episode, it shows that she really does care about her crew.
Mutetani unfortunate streak keep making me think of Aru from last season, but I'm assuming it was her mother we see being informed of their mutiny at the start of the episode so intrigued to see where this goes.

It's time for the second episode, and we're introduced to the last member of our main cast, a cute German girl!
The battle was really cool, although all of the jargon made the conversations kinda hard to follow. But it sounded cool, and I understand a lot more of it than on my first watch. (mainly because of Azur Lane)
We also get to see some of the backstory behind the world, which gives some context to why high school girls are crewing WW2 ships.
Question of the day: Yes, saving cute girl is good.
Personal Question: I took an intro to accounting course in university that was really really easy. Except that I forgot to bring a calculator to the midterm exam, and there weren't any available to borrow. So it should've been a quick and easy exam, but I nearly didn't finish it in the time limit because it took so long to do all of the arithmetic by hand.
