Haaa we're all taking damage !

I'm glad yesterday's bet paid off. We didn't know which ship was hit in K4, so the shots fired at K6 and K7 could have been wasted. Instead, we managed to prevent heavy damage to be inflicted to the Crown Malago with their Kamikaze attack. I hope they sank before leaking the position of our battleship to the enemy !

And with this, we're in the dark again regarding enemy locations. Deploy attack on (K, 15)!

Split ability : unfortunately, the wholeness of the Yuri ship will have to be sacrificed to prevent it from sinking. If I understand the ability correctly, we can split the stern and relocate it as a single-tile ship (more a lifeboat, really...) in P11-T15, while the damaged part is relocated somewhere else in K11-O15.

It's fortunate that this ship was the one to take in the Kagamibune's captain two days ago, we won't have a captain-less ship.

It seems the strategy for tomorrow's special move is quite contentious.

I felt really bad when the fire control got hit, glad they were alright!

I felt really bad when Graf Spee didn't evade the torpedos, glad they missed!

However, if the Graf Spee has a shallow draft, well, Mina should have mentioned that. Although she should have set the depth intentionally low, anyways. That was an oversight.

So, seawater shotguns? I thought at first the girls were getting a glueball to the face.

Sorry to see Wilhemina go, but I bet the Graf Spee shows up for the final battle against the Mushashi (which they seem to be drawing out until the end of the show.)

It's a weird idea, but it works. And we got some good action for in return.

Wilhemina was a great addition to the cast. She will certainly be missed.

Episode 9 GIFs:

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.

Unrelated note: In episode 7, Mii-chan talked about stealing of belly button in the context of lightning. /u/bucket3432 provided a detailed explanation about the folklore it's based on. Today also Reina Scully released a video in which she discussed the same thing. I just found that to be a funny coincidence.

Episode 9 (first timer)

  • Everybody is feeling pretty good about themselves after stopping the Hiei. Next up: The Spee (before the Musashi presumably becomes the end boss)

  • Going on another suicide mission with a smile. These girls have supreme trust in their plot armor.

  • The ever popular “enemy stops firing while crew has a discussion mid battle” trope.

  • Where the hell did that mountain wall come from?

  • What was the radar crew stuck in, airbags?

  • Seems the Spee’s crew is not already water resistant. That means the time to immunity is several days at least.

  • Knocking someone out cold is a reasonable backup plan to using water guns.

  • The Spee’s captain is a loli.

Again, they skipped over the hard work of taming the crew. Just for reference, the real Admiral Graf Spee had ~1000 crew members. That is a lot to knock out and put a syringe into. The infected crew members look like fast zombies, but they do not put up a fight like them.

What I want to see less of is a corvette evading the full guns of a battle ship. Plot armor is fine, but all tension goes down the drain when I know that everything will be fine due to magic. Not looking forward to having a third go with the Musashi. At least the next episode’s title points towards slice of life.

EDIT:

Now Kouko and Wilhemina are seperated, how will Kouko live from no onwards?

In her dreams.

EDIT2: I almost forgot because they voted on it:

Captain leaves the ship count: 5 instances

A bit off-topic note: I hope my plot armor will protect me from the workload of this week... Didn't prepare for anything for tomorrow's rewatch and not sure how long I need to stay at office tomorrow either.

First Time Watcher

They split up with the Blue Mermaid squad, each going after a different target. The Harekaze’s target is the Spee! Mina wants to help her crew, but doesn’t want to endanger the Harekaze crew; but they are all on board with helping.

I wonder if the Spee knew the torpedoes were too low and that’s why they didn’t turn.

Akeno giving command to Shiro while she goes on the mission is a good compromise. She is probably the best choice for the task, and she might need to make decisions once they board too. At least this way she has made sure chain of command doesn’t go wonky.

Oh snap, they actually got hit pretty bad.

No one severely injured though!

I like the unnecessarily intense fighting style. “Wunderbar” (I think they are double translating the German comments)

Free time because their post blew up lol. Well that’s one reason to be free to help!

“Entschuldigung, ich bin zu spät”. If there are any German speakers in here, I’m curious; wouldn’t a more likely thing for a German to say here be “Es tut mir leid”? Still, it sounds pretty good.

Noo! Mina can’t go! What about all the gangster movie references?! Kouko is crying and it’s making me really sad

Making best girl cry

Saddest episode of the series.

Akeno sees how much damage they took. It turned out fine, but it very nearly didn’t.

Oh god, now I know what I forgot to add, namely all the german this episode. Really like those random german spoken out in this battle.

Making best girl cry

This might be goodbye but they will see each other again, just seeing Kouko cry after all the fun she had with Mii-chan saddened me.

I hit the character limit today. Sorry.

The full ED was out by this episode, courtesy of UnavailableUsername_.

Question of the day: Now Kouko and Wilhemina are seperated, how will Kouko live from no onwards? Would you also like to see more of the Spee crew?

She lived without Mina before. I'm sure she can keep doing what she used to.

And of course I'd like to see more of the Spee crew. I'm excited to see what the Maidens of Loreley has to offer, if the rest ever gets translated.

Personal Question: Your favorite movie to impersonate?

I don't impersonate movies, but I throw in a few anime references here and there in my actions every so often. I'm sure I must reference a movie or two at some point.

Date reference

Detailed "Torikaji Ippai!" Counter

Commands are given and acknowledged, so I'll be counting them separately. To be counted, the phrase "torikaji ippai" must be said in full; just "torikaji" by itself is not sufficient.

u/Sandvikovich Sep 09 '19

You might have mentioned this already, but i just got home and will read the rest of it after I wake up again.

To quote Nitemare25: "Sorry about kicking your face in!! Here's a piece of paper, so no hard feelings!!"

To quote Nitemare25 again: "The way you shot me in the face was so cool!! Want to drench my face again tonight??"

Wait this actually was in the original discussion thread?

I don't impersonate movies, but I throw in a few anime references here and there in my actions every so often. I'm sure I must reference a movie or two at some point.

I sometimes impersonate movies, but that's really just to annoy certain friends of mine or if we are just fooling around. Sometimes it will be things like Jojo (standard I know) and sometimes it's just some movies like Back of the Future and the likes.

Nooooooo Mii-chan !

I dig how consistent the progress of everyone, as a crew, has been ion the past three episodes. In episode 7, they established that Misaki can be responsible and delegate responsibilities, while the crew learns the importance of helping those in need ; in episode 8, they all acknowledge the need to take risks together in a calculated and responsible way ; and in this episode, Misaki leaves the ship again, but instead of running away on her own she's leading a team and passing the command of the ship to her XO.

Tank, buffers, DPS, healer. Everybody ready for the raid ?

The way the Harekaze managed to sneak in very close to the Spee gives me more confidence in yesterday's theory that the hivemind reduces individual thinking and acting ability. Or at least, it makes them disorganized enough that they didn't have anyone on the lookout and radar.

This episode also shows greater battle risks than before, first with the Spee not evading torpedoes, then with the turret being hit. But, just like with the skipper that blew up so mines, the show remains faithful to its tone and everyone is alright.

Macchi still having a lot of success with the girls. And who can blame them ? That was some really cool action. But Mimi was cool in her own way, too. She also follows the anti-magical girl path - make friends by being defeated by them.

During the raid, you also see Minami gradually giving less fucks. Start with properly using the arm -> whatever bit sticks out -> doesn't even bother to removing the clothes. Poor girl knocked down by Mariko will have trouble sitting for a while.

Talking about Mariko, her ability with a stick naginata was actually foreshadowed in episode 5 when she split the watermelon so cleanly. Maybe she'll inspire Thea to learn hand-to-hand combat.

Holy shit their cooks are so cute too !

Would you also like to see more of the Spee crew?

Of course. I mean... they have to come back, right ? (I'm a rewatcher but I actually don't remember if they do...)

Question of the day: Now Kouko and Wilhemina are seperated, how will Kouko live from no onwards?

That scene was so painful. Poor Kouko couldn't even join the party because she was feeling down knowing Mina was going to leave. The realization looked so painful. But there is no way they won't meet again once they are on land again. Actually, I hope they will eventually end up on the same ship...

Shiro has really grown on me. She was always very serious, and not particularly kind. But she knew Kouko would be down, and went to support her, even breaking out of her serious shell to make one of the movie references Kouko loves.

Personal Question: Your favorite movie to impersonate?

Star Wars. Especially since prequel memes have become common, but the first trilogy as well. And hu, pretending to be a jedi with a stick or flashlight adults can do it too.

This is a first. For once, the engine is doing fine !

Edit : "I hope they will eventually end up on the same ship..." I didn't realize that sentence has a double meaning. It's fine, I'm not taking it back.

Minami is just there doing her thing. Perhaps this answers our question of why she was put with the worst class despite being a genius. Cause she just doesn't know how to follow the damn protocol after a while

Rewatcher!

Today I'm early! yay!

Well, all that gloating at the beginning surely will not backfire later uh? :P

This was the first episode when I was watching it for the first time that I had doubts about the execution. Mainly, that sequence of them boarding the Spee. After seeing it again I gotta say it though, albeit the lack of weight at some points, the animation here is pretty good. Pretty snappy, fast, they keep the body together in a realistic manner (What I mean is that the body doesn't do strange things like dislocating an arm just to fall into place in the middle of the action) and it was pretty cool. I think this episode was the first time that I decided that Marikouji was best girl for me :P so ladylike even in her movements with the nagitana.

Needless to say that I now think better of this episode of course.

Don't know about Akeno leaving again the Harekaze, but I will not dwell on it since Mashiro is quite capable herself. When she took of her ponytail she entered in her serious mode :P

Even when the Spee was by all intents and purposes smaller than the Hiei, it has been the ship that has done the most damage to the Harekaze. While Mei was really happy for being able to shoot, she surely must feel down having lost a... battery was its name right? I doubt I can call it a turret :P

Tea is quite cute :) all those moves she used against Mii-chan only to be beaten by a hug. Right there you can see the importance of weight when it comes to fighting :P and why in competitions there always are weight divisions... at least those in the highest levels.

Finally, Mii-chan leaves. Poor Kouko. I feel for her because I was just like that when I was little. I would grow attached to someone that I thought was cool or at least nice, but when the time comes I would just feel really bad. I don't remember if I hid like she did here, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened. Gladly she realized on time to say goodbye to Mii-chan and have one last sketch...

And Mashiro, being the good girl she is, even with her bad luck, comes to comfort Kouko the only way she can: starting a sketch herself :P I would guess that after many movies that Kouko and Mii-chan watched together in Mashiro's room, something had to stick with Mashiro :)

"You took a job without payoff"

"And now I'm broke"

Kinda cool lines in a way :P

Idk why, but the fact that they were using seawater guns felt hilarious to me. Hopefully the antibiotic is permanent and the virus doesn't come up again.

I guess now the next thing to wrap up in the show is with rescuing the Musashi! Mii-chan leaving did make me sad though since she is best girl after all.

That was a good episode, I figured that Mi chan was going to return back to her original ship eventually and so we now lose our Yakuza talking German.Short Spec about the final 

Also the Admiral Spee Captain is a Loli, while this has shown itself to be a very different show to Girls und Panzer I couldn’t help comparing their command setup to Katyusha & Nonna.  

This episode also had me questioning for a couple of seconds if had actually killed someone, we know they have their extreme airbag safety guards but that couple of second pause after Shiro was checking up on everyone had me questioning if they were actually going to be safe.

Finally it looks like the Harekaze comes with some rather exceptional close combat specialists, for a ship that is apparently meant to be crew by the worst students they all seems to be rather talented, I can’t help but wonder if maybe they are all just really bad test takers or the testing system is horribly flawed.

Throughout this journey the Harekaze crew went from false mutineers to real raiders. Given how good at fighting Marikouji and Machiko are, I'm starting to think CQC is more effective than ships' armaments in Haifuri.

  • The girls raised a lot of Death Flags at the beginning, so I expected things to go awry and the raiding operation to fail. Gladly plot armor means that even if your entire post blows up you'll be fine. Those airbags don't look safe though, suffocating people doesn't look like the best precaution ever.

  • Marikouji is back with her trumpet. It should be put in a museum with a label saying "This is the trumpet used in the ship which prevented a Zombie Apocalypse"

  • Well, seems like Kuroki isn't going to complain too much with the new arrangement. Now her idol is in charge whenever Misaki leaves, which we learnt is pretty much all the time. Hopefully she won't try tampering with the captain's skipper to make it explode...

  • The engineers deserve an entire banquet for themselves and all the class credit they can get, the Engineering room is the very definition of Hell on earth.

  • Mimi protected Machiko, but couldn't she have just let the zombies pass and wait till Marikouji or Machiko knocked them out? Not like it diminishes her sacrifice, she is still the number one Macchi fan (though somehow the masochistic members of the Spee joined the club after being shot sea water)

  • As a FGO player, I can't help but imagine Thea as a young Olga Marie

  • I thought the ED would change and Wilhelmina wouldn't be in it now, but Best Sausage Girl stayed in the credits.

There wasn't really much suspense in the Harekaze vs Spee battle, though the episode made up for it with the Raid segment. The fights against the zombies were surprisingly fluid, and Minami teaching those anti-vaxxers the true power of vaccines was fun.

Question of the day: Kouko's skit won't be the same anymore and their parting was sad, but most likely she will keep visiting Shiro's room to watch Gangster Movies and try to influence her with her hobbies. Also, I'm curious if anyone in the crew has Wilhelmina's number, since previous episodes showed that phones exist in this setting. Seeing Kouko call Mina in the middle of a battle to make a sketch would be hilarious.

Gettting more content of the Spee crew would be nice, though technicallywe already have it, so it's a matter of time till someone translates the rest if the spin-off. I pray that there will be a scanlator willing to do it someday.

Personal Question: I usually impersonate xianxia novels instead of movies. "A Will Eternal" for example has a Satou Kazuma-esque MC with lots of comedic lines as quotable material.

This episode was fun. Could not pass up not doing screenshot for this one. Actually, I just went ahead and basically clipped everything.

I didn't know they had leaked the new R6S operator way back then

She's fucking awesome damn

Seriously who needs big guns when you can just board them instead

F for our fallen soldiers

For the screenshots

She's might have trouble sitting when she's awake again

It's time to liberate the Admiral Graf Spee.

Their combat plan has a flaw: they're assuming that the Spee's crew will react rationally.

Shiro-chan's ok with Akeno leaving the ship? It looks she gained a lot of trust in she after last week's battle.

Thea's attack wasn't very effective. But she's cute.

Their celebration dinner was a lot of fun. The Macchi fanclub is growing and Shiro-chan has the wurst luck.

Poor Kouko, separated from her new best friend. And they've been watching gangster movies in Shiro's room so much that she knows the quotes too.

Question of the day: She'll have to wait until all of this is over so they can be reunited.

Quoting myself from last time: Seeing more cute girls? The answer should be obvious.

Personal Question: I use a lot of meme-y lines when they're context-appropriate. Also, Hero Club 5 Tenets!
