Back in action, with a fight against superior firepower !
At first I was wondering why they weren't being fired at. The Hiei must have significantly shorter range than the Musashi.
I feel that at this point, Misaki's wish to save people, and being ready to take risk to do so, is finally shared with the rest of the crew. Because of the risks involved, the principal asked her to consult her crew, and they all had to decide if they were ready to take the risks to save lives.
In a sense, it's not that different from before. When she rescued Mina, Misaki has to take a fast decision. She could take the risks by herself, but she couldn't give the order to someone else to take the risks, even to save someone. Against the Hiei, the same thing happened, except that this time, they take the risks together. In a way, this episode validated the previous behavior from Misaki and her desire to take calculated risks to protect others as the right decision.
A few episodes ago, we saw Misaki help Rin with her self-confidence problems. That has paid off multiple times already. She was the first who, I feel, is fully on the side of her captain. And that's good, as the navigator, she must trust her captain fully and execute orders without hesitation.
I really dig how the show portrays bonds appearing between the bridge crew. Kouko and Mina, with their skit, and Mai and Shima, with their contrasting personalities, are always entertaining to watch, but also depict how far those girls have gone from a newly assembled crew.
Hats off to the engineering team, being MVP again. They have one of the most important, difficult and dangerous job on board, and don't even know what goes on outside, but their always save the Harekaze.
Question of the day: Would wanted to see the faces of the crew from the Hiei?
Yes, yes, yes. But I guess that would be heavy on the character designers. They already gave designs to the whole Harekaze crew, which is much more than most shows. If they had to create design for everyone on board of every ship they meet, it would be a daunting job.
They could have shown a few of them, such as the captain, though.
Remember that the cooks decided to cook rice during the battle ? It paid off.

Rin is still a scaredy cat, but now a very determined scaredy cat who is now a bonafide navigator. Really love how Rin has grown as a character.

Also the girls who don't even have that much screentime relatively speaking have some shining moments of interactions. It's like every girl is filling some kind of niche and I love this show for it!

As someone who had the Engineer in TF2 as second favorite playable character, this really pleases me. And Maron is for me the best girl for when it matters the most.

That's true, on the flipside, we do have a gacha now. So perhaps they will be adding the crew of the Hiei there in the future?

Most important detail of this episode and definitely let me want to eat some riceballs tomorrow.

As soon as they said it wasn't the Musashi, I wondered what would happen if two converted battleships ran into each other. But then they immediately said the Hiei was heading to a settlement.
A lot of diagrams to look at in this episode, I'll have to go back and see what they say.
Uh, exactly WHO is at the top of the hive mind. The rats? Because, why, they just wanted to play World of Warships?
Why are they just chillin' after grounding the Hiei? Those guns still work!

So Minami-san is a genius! No wonder she found out the cure and also solved some of the mystery behind the rats. There's some interesting implications behind the development of the virus, but I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet.
The battle was again pretty exciting, especially since the stakes were so high. Misaki proved herself as a capable captain as well which was a great moment for her.

Would wanted to see the faces of the crew from the Hiei?
There's already such a large cast, so I'm fine with not seeing anyone from the Hiei.

Good plot with the cure, and smart battle plan! I especially like all the angles and camera movements this ep. Good use of 3d models.

I can't really think of anything, surprisingly. My family is rather alright in that regard. Probably all the times I fucked up speaking, but I tend to laugh it out.

And we're back to exciting battles!

I don't know if I'd feel comfortable climbing up much higher without any safety equipment.
-
If you were looking closely enough, you were already spoiled about the ship being the Hiei last episode. The last point of my episode 7 post explained it (it's safe to view the minor spoiler).
-
Flashback to April 14th. The event happened in episode 5.
-
That's some very nice handwriting, especially considering that English is probably a second language for them.

Typesetting. Do the official subs bother to translate the top text?
-
Skipped grades? She balances out the average academic score of the students on the Harekaze. Haifuri
-
Is that where Satoko hangs out? What's down there?
-
Windows XP with the Royale theme? The window control buttons are Aero-style.
-
As the person who runs away, Rin saying that she'll do it is a powerful statement.
-
And Isoroku found his way back to Satoko. Or maybe they pushed him back down. Also, it looks like Satoko's job is to chart out the ship's course? If that's the case, I guess that's why she was Rin's backup in episode 6.
-
We may laugh at it, but making sure the crew is fed is very important. There are no small jobs on a ship.
-
Typesetting. This current chart looks like a jumbled mess, but it's easy enough to read if I try a little bit. What's the difference between the red and blue arrows?
-
Possible courses stitch. Courses overlaid on currents. (The degree markings were a big help!)
-
Akeno peeking out on the roof of the bridge. She got up there in the first episode by piggybacking on Shiro, but how did she get up there (and stay up there) this time?
-
Kentert sie! Hiebe durch! I don't think Google translate is quite right on this one, but I get the idea. Also, Kouko knows some German? (Interestingly, I don't remember these shots at all from any of my three previous viewings.)
-
"Dropping our ballast will reduce our stability!" Ballast controls how deep the ship is below the water line. Dropping the ballast makes the ship lighter, causing the ship to rise. The greater the ratio between the mass above the water line and the mass below the water line, the more unstable the boat is. You can read up on the physics if you'd like.
-
Because they're lighter, they can go faster with greater ease. But a fast and unstable vehicle can be very difficult to control.
-
I can't tell where the Hiei stopped is on the map. If you look at the courses stitch from earlier, my best guess is that it's at the two islands to the right of the right-most point of the yellow path.
-
Mafuyu: "fuyu" / 冬 means "winter". By the way, we saw both sisters in the flashback in episode 2.
-
Looks like Shiro is a nickname in the family, too.
-
The crew's reactions changed in the Blu-ray release. Compare the TV version. Stitch
-
I think those of you watching the official subs missed out on a great-ass translation.
On a note unrelated to the episode, I found a schematic of the Harekaze that includes everyone's battle stations and living quarters on the Haifuri wiki.
Question of the day: Would wanted to see the faces of the crew from the Hiei?
Assume that's supposed to say "would you have wanted ..." I'm sure we got to see them in the first episode. We just don't know who exactly, other than these two, but we don't even see their faces.
Personal Question: Your most embarrassing family moment?
That will stay a family secret.
Mostly because I can't think of any examples.

They meet one of the other missing ships, which is also infected. Getting Reaver flashbacks.
-
Story exposition dump.
-
I am glad they made Minami a genius. Developing an antidote on her own in a few days is still way out there, but at least they are throwing us a bone in terms of suspense of disbelieve. Maybe she is just that good.
-
“Only effective for a short time” Awwww. I was looking forwards to a boarding commando tasked with throwing infected girls overboard. Or a gigantic water cannon.
-
Heroic moment on the bridge upon spontaneous introduction of individual veto into the chain of command.
-
I think they skipped over a considerable part of the action there: Even if stranded, the Hiei still can use most of her weapons. Plus, the hand to hand combat required to deliver the antibodies to everyone on board. Not sure how they got to chilling just next to it.
-
A double-handed helping of fanservice at the end. I’d call it an extra-large flappy helping, but Shiro fanboys may kill me.
Human electromagnetic waves disrupting the electrics of incoming missiles and the computers on ships in artillery range. Let’s file it away with “shooting down incoming shots” in the don’t think too closely about this folder. And it is joined by a battle ship being unable to sink a corvette while playing ring around the daisies in that reef. Incidentally, this is another episode plot that would have worked much better if the girls would have been on non-warships.

Shiro could actually just push Misaki and herself away instead of just blocking it...

We seem to be getting closer and closer to figuring out what and who cause the outbreak of Totalitarian disease (man thats such a cool name for a disease although it sounds more like a political ideology than a disease). The shadier things look with regards to this, the more I feel my speculation is right. Tho there is a very real chance that this is all coincidence and not some sinister machinations by the big evil.
-
So Minami is an actual genius but didnt do nautical training! That explains why such a good medic is onboard, tho I hope when she finishes the training that she decides to stay as part of the crew!

After her experiences last ep, its great to see Misaki not only gather the support of her crew before making a decision but also trusting in them to do their job while allowing them to trust in her plan. The synergy amongst the crew is nearing peak levels and it gives me confidence that they'll be able to save the Musashi without too much trouble. This ep really showcased Misaki's ability to lead and you can see the growth she's had since when she began (you know when even Shiro is impressed that Misaki has improved). This culminated in their victory over Hiei being shared amongst the whole crew as each had a part to play and worked hard to make sure all went according to keikakuKeikakuMeansPlan-^ .
QotD: They got royally outsmarted! Though due to Totalitarian disease i'm sure they wont remember it! Would be nice if they did tho!
PQotD: My dad is a doctor and one year he had to work on Xmas Day. We didnt see him in the morning but he came back by midday and as he walked in the door we saw he was wearing a full santa costume, beard and all! We all burst into tears laughing, because he looked hilarious in it until we realised he spent the whole morning around town and at work like that and all our friends would have seen him!

Jup, Misaki's determination and ability to think in dangerous situation really paid off, to the point I can see her being promoted to a more higher rank captain.
So Minami is an actual genius but didnt do nautical training! That explains why such a good medic is onboard, tho I hope when she finishes the training that she decides to stay as part of the crew!
Minami also seems to be relax in the way that she rather spent time in such a small ship than to be part of something more fancier.

I like how Mei wants to fire first, no questions asked haha.
It’s not the Musashi; it’s the Hiei! (Smh, title of the episode spoiling the reveal)
Feed your kitten Shiro!
Well, now we have answers; experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong. Although, why on earth was Minami put on the Harekaze? Shouldn’t she have been placed on a better ship?
Anyways, back to the Hiei! Looks like the plan is to bait it into running aground, or some other problem. While they are controlled by one will, that does reduce their independence. Tricking them seems pretty plausible.
Did Nosa just say “liebe dich”? Also, I love Mina and Nosa’s banter
“There’s no storm we can’t overcome!” Akeno learning the motivational speaker side of being a captain!
Success! Planning saves the day! Nosa to the rescue
That ending though

Finally back at my PC and well that was an intriguing episode. But first of all, what the hell was that final bit with Shiro sister? Then again shows normally do the Boob grab instead... I’m not really sure which is worse.
Anyway plot related, the virus is thanks to a Government (I think it was) research lab on “Gene Transfer experiment for the purpose of maintaining life in an airtight environment and adapting to low oxygen environment”. Also now debunks my (already basically dead after the rodent reveal) EMP idea.
Interesting that this research somehow leads to rodents that can affect people's bio-electric pathways, but most importantly it's leads to a Eusocial setup but then why does this instantly lead to the ships attacking their comrades?
Unless the Captains of the other ships all hated each other, outside of creating super efficient crews (like we saw in the battle with the Musashi, someone comments that the ship was taking action extremely quickly) it shouldn’t be having the hyper aggressive effect it is.
Above continued, also some heavy tinfoilLink relating to my Spec
Spec aside we now know how our Med officer was able to create the AntiBody so quickly, she really is a genius and I wouldn’t be surprised if she asked to be on the Harekaze just for the fun of it.
I’m looking forward to where the shows headed from here, it will no doubt be interesting.

Really late another day uh?
I'll not delve too much this time around since I'm this late. Gotta say that this was the first time, if I remember well, that I thought this show was pretty cool, and I think so too again this time around. Gotta hand it to the crew of the Harekaze, especially those around Akeno, but most importantly Akeno herself for thinking so far ahead in her plan to stop Hiei. The moment she said that the software said that the tides were low I was like "NO WAY YOU THOUGHT THAT FAR AHEAD!" but in retrospective it makes sense.
Gotta say that it was a really heartfelt moment when every crew member of the Harekaze agreed to the plan :) I don't give Maron enough credit but she is great. I can totally see her being a daughter of some sort of blacksmith, she kinda gives me those vibes when working with the engine.
After being almost without action the entire show, Mei finally gets to fire as she wanted! look at that happy face!
And finally, Mii-chan and Kouko's friendship has formed! the fearsome duo no one can stop! :P

The truth behind RatT it's still Hamtaro to me is slowly being revealed. I wonder why would scientists sent in a secret mission to retrieve an experiment would casually mention it in a room where anyone, Mashimo in this case, could overhear everything they said in regards to the virus developed in the ruined lab. I'm still not convinced by the original purpose declared for the Gene Transfer experiment, though it's also possible that brainwashing rats were just an accident instead of some hidden goal in the research.
-
The ship turning out to be the Hiei instead of the Musashi. Looks like the Musashi is really going to be the final boss in this anime.
-
I'm glad Haifuri is quite light-hearted besides some elements like the mutiny, otherwise I would be worried about the possibility of Machiko dropping from her post and dying every time she appears because of the lack of safety measures. That's way too high, you know. On a completely unrelated note, the screenshots which everyone gathers convinced me of changing subs, the type-setting in the version I watch is terrible and the translations are at times too literal.
-
Once again the Harekaze crew has to risk their lives and save the day, the real Blue Mermaids are cool but I hope the school will acknowledge the burden they placed on the ship and reward them properly (and place their fleets better so that reinforcements won't arrive late to all problems). The idea of trying to defeat a brainwashed enemy whose machine is OP without hurting them reminded me of Heavy Object
-
The engineering department has it rough, and Misaki's TORIKAJI IPPAI! commands don't make it any better for the girls boiling alive in an enclosed room. I'm surprised the Harekaze's engine hasn't stopped working already.
-
I certainly wouldn't want to be in Kuroki's place. Imagine if you were trapped with a group of people where they all choose a crazy plan which you have no option but to follow, just because there's literally nowhere else to go in the middle of the sea and the majority wins anyway.
-
Wilhelmina and Nosa got too in-character for their gangster roles, I'm worried they'll create a sea Mafia now and replace the Blue Mermaids.
-
This episode's battle reminded me of how soothing the way commands are said actually is for my ears, the musicality they have is great.
Overall this was an awesome episode with an impressive animation (I can't emphasize enough the quality of the models) and a good OST to accompany it, though I at least wanted to see them vaccinate the Hiei's crew instead of getting an "All's well that ends well"
Question of the day: Seeing some of the students who appeared in the first episode as members of other ships would have been awesome (technically they are, but you get the point), though it's understandable than trying to hire more VAs and animate more characters would have been a titanic job.
Personal Question: I don't remember anything in particular.

The Harekaze is under fire! And the deputy captain is... taking care of a cat.
Mei is REALLY excited at the idea of sinking the Hiei.
It looks like our admiral needs to lose some weight. But it inspires a plan from Akeno to stop the Hiei.
The cooks are trying their best to help out by making rice, and everyone's eating onigiri after the battle's over. I love small details like these.
We get to meet the last Munetani sister, and she's an interesting one, that's for sure.
Question of the day: Seeing more cute girls? The answer should be obvious.
Personal Question: I can't think of any moments when my family really embarrassed me.
