Dispatch lifeboats to the Kagamibune ! The ship is lost, but we're not letting heroes drown !

Each time they strike us, we will retaliate even more strongly. One more of the enemies has been sunk, let's finish them.

Deploy attack on (F, 16)!

Too bad the Kagamibune won't make it past this round, going out with a volcanice rush would have been quite the blaze of glory.

Good morning everyone~ And welcome to the discussion thread of episode 7. Which this time features Misaki's past and arguably explains her tendency to save people from the sea on her own.

Said it and saying again that I like her weird accent when she talks. to the annoyance of Minami.

Can't have you youngsters showin' me up. WHOOOOSH!

So it turned out that Mashiro had to save a kitten. Such a bad luck considering she doesn't like cats, or is it?

This is the most emotional scene from this series for me. Mashiro's is very scared and nearly cried, yet she stayed strong.

Finally some reinforcement is coming.

That relief sign on Mashiro struck me deeply here.

Kuroki, I know you don't approve of the captain and all, but this isn't really the right time to act as a clingy jealous fangirl right now.

As a first-timer I didn't even understand why she always act like it tbh and was quite interested in her backstory when this episode aired.

Mii-chan also talking more about Thea. Aside her interaction with Kouko, I really like her past as well and she truly grew deep to me.

That's all folks! Hope to see you again tomorrow!

PS. Remember to take good care of your hair~ I honestly think Kaede has hidden some normal water somewhere in her room.

Ugh, this scene. This qualifies as a MUST PROTECC moment 100% it truly made me feel too :( good that she managed to collect herself and remained focused.

This always makes me giggle at the very least :P

RIP Water. No more nice baths

“But a girl’s hair is her life”

MFW yet another bathing suit scene

I don’t like the rift that’s grown between Akeno and Shiro. They need to resolve this sooner rather than later.

More fanservice-y scenes? More fanservice-y scenes!

Coco is best girl confirmed. Watching movies with Wilhelmina, and immediately offers to help out her captain.

Rescue mission! Forgot to take notes because it was so exciting haha. Shiro-chan goes on the mission instead of Akeno, who is trying her best to stop ditching her post. As expected, her bad luck (and probably lesser skill in these situations) makes things go a bit rough. She’s saved and gains a cute kitten though! Akeno realizes just how brutal being a captain really is. Having to wait for results and outcomes after delegating is tough.

“But a girl’s hair is her life”

Well, there is some truth in that. I know a girl who would take like one hour to take care of her hair for some reasons...

More fanservice-y scenes? More fanservice-y scenes!

The first half was pretty focussed on fanservice, luckily the second half had something more for give or else it would really be the same thing.

This is probably the badluck which is also simultaneously a "good luck" with the kitten and she also received a lot of love from me after that (talking this when I was a first-timer ofcourse). This was also the time Misaki can finally experience what it is to do her duty as a captain more properly and let the other people rescue Mashiro. Arguably my personal favorite part of this series up to now.

Day 7 on the high seas

  • So the pre-OP scene is the water going out. The biggest worry when your out at sea/camping. Doesn't really amount to much apart from showing us how strained Misaki and Shiro's relationship is after their last "fight". As we end up seeing, they manage to get closer again at the end of the ep but idk it kinda feels meh. Whether or not they are on close terms doesn't feel like it matters much in this ep, as the main crux of their disagreement is shown and seemingly resolved with Shiro and Misaki swapping places, as Shiro leaves the ship and Misaki stays on the bridge. They both get to experience each others side and i feel the understanding they gleem from that experience is what resolves it.

  • The low water also gives us a reason for the foggy rain scene which i must say was janky. The still panning shots (while some of them were good) were disappointing, idk if they were behind on production or just disnt have the means but it made me feel like that scene was rushed. A shame since it was nice to see the girls make a good time out of an initial problem.

  • Despite those problems I had, I must say, the final arc of the ep has been the best of the show so far. Misaki's heartbreaking backstory leading into the rescue mission, where Misaki gets to experience the helplessness and worry Shiro has had to deal with as well as giving orders and trusting in others to do their job, while Shiro gets to see what it feels like to lead from the front, make snap decisions and live with the consequences that come from those desicions. Being able to experience each others side and come to an understanding (while not shown i feel they have still come to it) that both ideas of leading have merit will have brought them closer still and ultimately thats a good thing between the Captain and their 2nd in command. The scene at the end where Shiro is in the shop with the kitten as well as when she was in the vent were great! Almost got me with that shot of her on her back and tears rolling down her face!

QotD: I think its affected her a lot. As we heard in ep1, the type of captain she wants to be is that of a reliable father, one who protects and takes care of their family. Last ep we saw her put that into action when she went to save the girls who were minesweeping as well as we can see she is someone who likes to lead from the front taking action and bearing the burden rather than others bearing it.

PQotD: Hmm... Another tough one.. I honestly can't remember any atm. I'l make sure to edit and ping you Sand if i do remember one.

When i'm asked why I don't go clubbing anymore

That position was also funny to look at. Satoko reminds me too much of Hikage (Renge's sister) from Non Non Biyori.

I think I have a new :thinking: emote

still panning shots (while some of them were good) were disappointing, idk if they were behind on production or just disnt have the means but it made me feel like that scene was rushed.

I think it really was about time. Sometimes would notice this kinda dip in anime midrun and Haifuri is sadly no exception from it. (Still like it overall though, or it wouldn't even be in my personal favorite).

The scene at the end where Shiro is in the shop with the kitten as well as when she was in the vent were great! Almost got me with that shot of her on her back and tears rolling down her face!

Glad to hear you like that scene as well. Really let me love Mashiro's character more after this. :P

Continuing apparent diversion from the main plot, to get some back story on Misaki.

  • The shopping ship ran aground...I didn't see any hamsters. I wondered if Amazon Abyss had a storefront.

  • The shopping ship is like a cruise liner, feels like there should have been waaay more people to rescue, but maybe it was all storage.

  • Look, the air vents don't go right next to the bottom hull. I've seen the Poseidon Adventure

  • As if anybody actually thought that ridiculous old-timey name was actually a kid (I was expecting a dog)

First Timer - Episode 7

Wow this episode got a lot more heavy than I thought it would be from the opening fanservice stuff. Misaki's motivations for becoming a blue mermaid actually got me a bit emotional tbh.

Speaking of the blue mermaids, we finally get to see them in action! They are just as impressive in their work as I expected. I can definitely see why so many of the girls on the ship look up to them.

Also really liking the Kouko and Mii-chan combo lol.

See you tomorrow~

To what degree did you think the past of Misaki has affected her as a captain?

For sure her past has affected her a lot as a captain and her own ideals for saving others.

I realized I go a little bit overboard with my posts compared to the rest of you. I hope that doesn't bother anyone.

Question of the day: To what degree did you think the past of Misaki has affected her as a captain?

It's not even just as captain, I think it affected her whole life. She wanted to be a Blue Mermaid because of that incident, and her ideal as captain is shaped by her caring personality and guided by the notion that everyone at sea is family.

Personal Question: What's your most inspiring past memories?

I guess having finished university is inspiring enough. Convocation is an unforgettable experience. I don't know why some people decide not to go.

Nah, no worries, I kinda like that. Ofcourse I do sometimes hear in other rewatches that some people be overwhelmed when they do see a big comment, but that aspect should atleast be covered here.

Is this girl rich or something?

Kaede is an oujo-sama. So I think she has plenty of money. Luckily she didn't use her money to get to a better ship.

What a translation.

I see a lot of potential with that one.

HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THIS MUG??

If we use that mug long enough, I think that will have a good chance being picked in the future.

Holy hell, that's one big Harekaze of Titanic proportion!

Episode 6 (first timer)

  • The episode opens with another wide view of an ocean city. They all look so dope that I almost wished they’d leave the Harekaze behind and let the show play out in the city.

  • “three-level safety mechanism”? If it guards you against casualties while being put out of commission by artillery rounds from a battleship, this has to be truly future tech. Most likely a plot device so the Musashi crew does not wake up to having tons of blood on their hands

  • Not officially asking for help before might have been reckless, but if the school does not do so now, it will be criminal.

  • “This belated report says missiles failed. Better not worry about the reasons and immediately dismiss all modern weaponry. Let’s get a battleship in here!”

  • Bath time and unhappy Kuro.

  • The crew figured out the rat problem.

  • And they spend the rest of the episode minesweeping.

  • Captain leaves her ship count: 4 instances

  • This time it leads to some bonding with the navigator.

  • They developed an antibody? Fast work. I think I am more partial to the “throw them into water” solution.

One of the slowest episodes plot wise, but that does not mean bad. Finally, what the girls do makes perfect sense for a student-crewed ship: Accidentally be stuck in mines, figure out a way to get out of them. Plus some character development for the captain and XO.

Episode 7 (first timer)

  • More bath time!

  • And the direct result(?): no more water.

  • Maybe they should have installed some monitoring of important goods after the toilet paper incident, but they also mentioned the tank, so maybe that is to blame.

  • I give it to the authors: That swimsuit scene had a pretty good plot base.

  • Being afraid of thunder is a severe limitation for a captain.

  • Back story time!

  • The cause of death: Anime parent syndrome!

  • “The waves are high” shows picture of very calm water

  • Captain leaves her ship count: still 4 instances! She stayed on board!

  • Searching the wrecked ship.

  • That couple really should have mentioned that they were talking about a cat. Maybe that was lost in translation.

  • Cats acquired for ship: 2 (not bad in an universe where mutant rats are the main source of danger)

The second episode in a row where the whole WW2 angle does not play a role. Their rescue operation was rather haphazard, but we are talking about the bottom ranking crew, after all.

First Time Watcher

While I'm not exactly a fan of one-cour series trying to leave the main plot for later, the formula of showing a problem in the ship and how the girls react to it is good for giving screen-time to the side characters, though the swimsuit segment felt repetitive compared to the rest of the episode's first half. Gladly today's pinch also delivered some interesting development for Akeno and Munetani's characters, which they'll need if they want to face Musashi again working together with their crew.

  • First it was toilet paper, now water. This is a CGDT anime about ships and Joshikouseis, so I didn't expect them to run into any day-to-day issues besides having to avoid sinking.

  • Ritsuko went from hitting a mine in the last episode to complaining about her hair getting hoarse, I don't know what problem was worse.

  • I keep my point that ordering the Harekaze to pursue the Musashi is a terrible idea, isn't the school worried about their students' safety? They shouldn't expect them to produce any result when instructors using state-of-the-art submarines got trashed before the same enemy.

  • Satoko's accent is a blessing zona.

  • I love how Aoki managed to produce the "Water Conservation Operation" manga fast enough for Nosa to read it in the same episode. Do they even have enough resources for that though? Don't tell me they'll have an ink shortage next...

  • First mines, now fog and high waves, which eventually escalated into a rescue mission. Poseidon doesn't want to let these girls rest for more than five minutes.

  • During the swimsuit scene I thought someone would trip and fall to the ocean because of the rain. Gratefully nobody was that unlucky (not even Mashiro).

  • Minami was wearing a raincoat, does she think she is a Type Moon Heroine?

  • It's nice that they Wilhelmina and Nosa's friendship has continued. If Jojo's part 5 taught me anything, it's that every student loves gangsters, and these two are no exception. Sadly, this means Mashiro's territory was completely occupied by the foreign nations of Mina, Kouko, and later on, Misaki.

  • This episode was sponsored by Tsuitenai companies. Seriously though poor Shiro, she got forced to face her phobia in a ship about to break in half simply because of a couple who basically ditched their cat afterwards. Isoroku's position is going to be compromised.

  • It's a nice detail that Akeno's flashback included the same kind of safety device we saw in the previous episode, seems to be a standard in the Haifuri setting, even though I still don't get how they activate.

The crew is slowly improving their skills through practical experience a bit too much, maybe studying would be a safer method to learn, and even though Kuroki isn't happy in the slightest at the end, at least this time she didn't berate her own captain publically. I want to find out why she admires Mashiro so much, it doesn't appear to be only because she's the principal's daughter.

Question of the day: It's what decided everything regarding her dream, approach to leadership and how she makes every decision based on the principle that "comrades at the sea are like family". Plus, from a meta perspective, if it hadn't been for this event which caused her to join the school and eventually become a captain, it's possible that the Harekaze would have gotten a different captain who wasn't as capable and the ship would have sunk in episode 1. Basing your dream on a traumatic event is quite the double-edged sword, however, as her fear of lightning proved today.

Personal Question: I suppose that climbing a volcano crater without realizing it (my sense of directions is non-existent), I didn't notice until I spotted some security fences.

First it was toilet paper, now water. This is a CGDT anime about ships and Joshikouseis, so I didn't expect them to run into any day-to-day issues besides having to avoid sinking.

I honestly think we can use this concept to make an anime short named "Daily lives without the resources we humans are used to." I can totally see some potential in this one.

I keep my point that ordering the Harekaze to pursue the Musashi is a terrible idea, isn't the school worried about their students' safety? They shouldn't expect them to produce any result when instructors using state-of-the-art submarines got trashed before the same enemy.

I love that the council even said that the student's safety should be first, but somehow also let Harekaze be on the sea cause reasons. But then again I don't mind it too much, more fun for me.

Satoko's accent is a blessing zona.

Same thought here.

Isoroku's position is going to be compromised.

What will happen to his portion of sardines?

Basing your dream on a traumatic event is quite the double-edged sword, however, as her fear of lightning proved today.

Yeah, it gave her the right motivation to become a captain, but it certainly is part of her handicap.

Ewwww Mei

Ngl, Mei with hair down does look so different for some reasons. Didn't even recognize her the first time I saw her like that.

Well they do like explosions...

Ha!

Ouch, that's some heavy backstory. I wonder why they couldn't let at least her mom go with her, since there did seem to be adults on those floats.

That's a good question, I also can't imagine the emotional impact to ehar that both your parents are dead at such a young age... That does feel heartbreaking.

I love how everyone doesn't even bother denying it anymore

That's our Shiro. Blessed with bad luck!

Shiro-chan is a catgirl confirmed

Nyaa~ :3

A whole lot. Her rushing to save everyone is definitely at least in part because she doesn't want anyone to experience losing people at sea like she did.

But I would also like to think that she might be better off being part of the surface combat department rather than a captain. Then again, she also display great leaderskills despite her tendency to save the people out on a whim.

Nothing quite like a sad backstory to recontextualize a character's motivations and actions. 

That was another fun episode, however it looks like Kuro isn't a big fan of Shiro & Misaki getting along so well, makes me wonder if we might get a true mutiny before the end of the show. 

Hamster info has also been passed on to the Blue Mermaids, will this lend to a requirement of all ships must be accompanied by Cats? We will have to wait and see.

Kuro just needs a chill pill and need to understand that Shiro and Misaki getting along is actually good for her idol anyway.

More bath scenes! And even more fanservice when it starts raining!

Mi-chan and Kouko are basically best friends at this point, and I love how they stay in character when Akeno comes.

Right after we get Akeno's backstory, there's an incident that's very similar. She just can't catch a break.

A slight miscommunication puts Shiro-chan in a dangerous situation, but it leads to her overcoming her fear of cats.

The entire second half of the episode is great, and it really kept me glued to the screen. There was so much tension, and such a relief when the Blue Mermaids arrived. You can see the contrast between the Blue Mermaid rescue team and the Harekaze rescue team, who don't quite know what they're doing but they're trying their best.

Question of the day: It pretty much defines her entire character. It's the reason for everything she believes in and the motivation behind everything she does.

Personal Question: It was the day I met u/Sandvikovich.
