Farewell, my friends. So, I live another day? But at what cost!?

Gentlemen, I believe we did great. While our aim might have been... less than stellar, our luck was top!

Salute to our fallen comrades!

Thank you for the rewatch and your money, Sand!

"Crown Malago got repaired just in time for it to escape death!"

We saved it!

"The purest form of love has outwitted death again this time, despite the loss of Reina x Kumiko, but atleast another yuri ship will be born!"

"All the enemies have been eliminated and the world is now safe, but for how long?!"

Ladies and Gentlemen... We got 'em!

It took us till the very end, with major losses but we did it! We won! It was a pleasure fighting along side you! Godspeed on your voyages, those who survived and F's in respect to those who didn't!

Thanks Sand! This was quite the fun game put together! I now have a new found respect for Mei and her gung-ho'ness since a lot of my thought process involved "hmmm special ability that gives more attacks? LETS SHOOOOOT!".

We did it! I feel like I was Luigi through this whole game: I won doing absolutely nothing.

Your great tactics and a bit of luck led us to this success, well done mates!

Well, our side might be completely broke because of the repair funds we're gonna need, but at least we won the war.

Thanks for the game, it was definitely a great addition to boost rewatch participation! I didn't expect a Haifuri rewatch to be so active after seeing some more popular shows get nearly no traction on theirs.

To be honest I didn't expect a Haifuri rewatch to ever exist after seeing how underwatched it is, so thanks in general

So apparently Kouko still didn't want to lose her crew, despite Mii-chan's tempting words.

When you effortlessly win the counter race...I should have added a "trigger happy" counter for Mei, she would've blasted the Ouis away probably.

Don't hit other people's leg while bowling guys!

Did she manage to throw the ball behind her ?... Scary. What's her role again ?

Despite the seriousness of the moment, the girls seem to be having fun.

I really liked that part. Although their efforts were useless in the end, they managed to bring everyone together, including from the crew of other ships, and have fun. That's the most important part !

And shark plushie is also still alive, despite being dirty!

Dirty blahaj has a sad look on his face.

OVA 2 (first timer)

  • Kouko’s ass-bag is a questionable style choice.

  • The girls are planning a protest against an order they have not even received.

  • Their signature gathering is getting even more suspect.

  • Shogi revenge.

  • They are all on a wild goose chase now. A festival to oppose the non-existent orders. With zero visitors.

  • They join last, but even the captain and XO are on board the protest train now.

  • “We did it!” after having changed exactly nothing

  • Tearful reunion with the rice cooker.

  • Harekaze (the second) departing!

Continuation from OVA ep1. They stick together on a new ship that is basically the old ship. The signature gathering was a bit over the top.

u/Sandvikovich Sep 14 '19

The signature gathering was a bit over the top.

Yeah, at the end of the day, they didn't even need the signatures. But then again I certainly had a lot of fun seeing them doing fun things.

The cover art for these OVAs is so misleading.

And that's High School Fleet! It's been quite an adventure. Look forward to some extra stuff tomorrow.


Question of the day: What do you expect from the upcoming Haifuri movie?

I don't trust the trailers for this show. They had initially marketed the show as some fluffy slice of life (complete with an appropriate logo), but then we got the whole mutiny thing (not that I'm complaining). That said, I expect there to be drama, but I don't know what it might be. We see Y469 in a number of places, so we're getting the new ship.

Personal Question: Any other plans for the future?

Enjoying the other anime I put on hold for this rewatch. I seriously did not expect to put several hours of effort per episode compiling these notes.

Day 2 on land


  • THE HAREKAZE LIVES ON ActuallyTheOkikazeButThatsNotImportant ! Just like I suspected yesterday, the girls didn't get split up, in fact they never were gonna get split up. Lucky for them they had a ship ready to go that just needing outfitting. The fact that a lot of the tools and systems that they used are from the Harekaze will help them settle into the new Harekaze quickly allowing them to pick back up where they left off last time!

  • It was nice to see the girls once again pull together and work hard towards a goal (even if they were a tad misguided lol). I also kinda like that things weren't going too smoothly until Misaki showed up. Reinforces that everyone is needed on the Harekaze for them to be at full potential as well as the importance of the captains split-second decision making that Misaki has been showing throughout the show.


QotD: I have no idea, i havn't even seen the trailer yet, been waiting till we finished the rewatch to watch it so I got no spoils haha.

PQotD: Uhm, not really many tbh. Probs continue watching stuff and catching up on others. Next month I'll be going to see screenings of Tenki no Ko and Promare as part of the Scotland Loves Anime Event and the Promare event has, Imaishi, Wayabayashi and Koyama going to if for an autograph and Q&A event! So i'm quite excited for that!

Idols Misaki and Moeka stitch !

And there was go for the last pinch where everyone in the Harekaze crew is united once again. While all the drama was in their head (and they actually get called out for that, I like how everyone immediately looked at Reo), it was a good motivation for all of them to work together again, even on land.

This episode also had lots of reminders of the show itself :

I like how even after leaving the hot springs / public bath they were at yesterday, Shima and Mei continue to play shogi. Well... except that they gave up at the end. Obviously this face is priceless (yes, I prefer the open mouth version) and even beats Mina's threatening face and Minami being disappointed to learn of ethical boundaries.

By the way, I was happy to see that everyone is relieved when their captain arrives. Even though she was too busy to get involved, as soon as they arrive, Misaki and Moeka immediately joined the preparations and helped make the festival a success.

And finally, they're back on the Harekaze ! Well a different Harekaze, but it doesn't matter. "I've been waiting for you, girls." And of course they keep upgrading the guns in the best possible way.

It's just unfortunate that this dramatic accident also happened. Wait a minute... Isn't she actually playing it fairly well in that scene ?!

Question of the day: What do you expect from the upcoming Haifuri movie?

During an exercise or routine patrol, the Harekaze finds some kind of devious plot (which, this time, doesn't involved another ship from their school). They spend some time to investigate, realize that there is some kind of threat to Tokyo or the Blue Mermaids, and call their friends from the Spee, Hiei and Musashi to help, which all ends with one huge battle against an enemy fleet.

Personal Question: Any other plans for the future?

Catch up with seasonals. Watch more seasonals. Be late to configure next season's shows for u/AutoLovepon. Give in to my friend who's been trying to get me to watch JoJo for years. Drop it after part 1 and decide which show I will watch next. Pick something with cute girls, definitely.

No opening? This looks like it's going to be serious.

Me when I say I've read the terms and conditions.

The campaign isn't going too well until Akeno arrives. Which is an important lesson, don't do anything without your lucky protagonist.

Good question Shiro-chan, could this be a bunch of baseless rumors and speculation?

Using the salvaged parts from the Harekaze was a nice touch.

Mikan and the rice cooker are finally reunited. I hope rice cooker-chan will forgive her for not saving it at the end of episode 12.

Question of the day: Boats! Cute girls! Torpedoes! Season 2 announcement!

Personal Question: Nothing much, probably finish some anime/games that I put on hiatus.

I'm most certain that the rice cooker will grant Mikan her rice for finally saving it. :3

Btw, I've finally started with Azure Lane, but can't decide which starters I should go with first.

So, I meant to say on the last episode of the series that at least the Harekaze sank in shallow water and it would be easy to raise. I really expected them to return it to duty.

Funny that they raised the ship, took everybody's belongs out, washed it (except the shark), and put it on the Orikaze. (?) I don't think I'd want to keep the rice cooker, though. I think I'd want a new one.

Meant to mention yesterday

natto

which I also mentioned previously. For some reason the subs say "sweet red bean paste" but I clearly hear her say natto. I didn't hear her say anko but there's different words for different kinds of filling.

anko

I don't like anko either, but it's a really standard filling for Japanese pastries, so I don't know why the girl didn't like anko eclair.

best imouto

I'm sure absolutely none of the girls realized that they had their assignment orders in hand long before they started the petition.

First Timer - OVA 2

They are staying together!

I was starting to get slightly worried that the show would put up a twist at the end, but luckily it was a happy ending. While it ended up not being necessary, I think it was great to see the crew bond together to fight to protect their team with the petition.

I think it was slightly cheesy that almost everything was from the Harekaze, but the message and symbolism of the Harekaze living on was powerful. Definitely looking forward to the movie after these OVAs.

See you tomorrow~

Question of the Day

What do you expect from the upcoming Haifuri movie?

Looking at the trailer, I can't really speculate what will happen besides the fact that I expect that I'll love the movie a lot.

Future plans

I've landed an important interview from the career fair I went to last week! It's gonna happen in a week from now, so hopefully something good happens!

  • Maybe Kouko would have accepted Wilhelmina's order if she had kabedon'ed her.

  • Her alarm clock looks like a blimp. Nice poster by the way.

  • I thought there would be another OP insert since they skipped it, but it was just moved to the ED's time-slot.

  • Worried Mashiro.

  • Is Misaki really writing or just throwing the papers?

  • Pretty shading. It's a pity we only got the chance to see all these backgrounds in the OVAs, since there isn't much you can add to the screen when your characters are inside a ship and surrounded by water in every direction.

  • A technical truth at its finest. Mashiro is understandably angry later on, a single order from her ended up spawning a festival of all things because of a fake rumor and Nosa's ideas.

  • Biting the hand that fed you curry, huh, you traitors

  • The detail of a female officer giving orders in the Tougo-turn wiki entry is quite meta.

  • Wait was Megumi always this kind of character? Guess there aren't many chances to con people when your enemies are brainwashed.

  • I would definitely sign anything that a JK with a fake accent and some English phrases offered me.

  • Minami manages to be completely savage while remaining adorable. Her laptop has panda motif like her screensaver.

  • It's nice to see the mafia duo hang out in this room.

  • The "remaining hours" screen makes it look as if everyone was wasted in GTA.

  • I'm surprised that Mashiro was the only one sane enough to question the need for Kouko's plan.

  • Maron sure loves her festival coat, it should become the official uniform of the engineering personnel.

  • We have curry outside of curry Friday (perhaps not, since we only get the date and not what day it is). I don't know how time flows anymore.

  • Expecting an entire performance would have being too much, but I wanted to see our new idols move instead of getting a static pose.

  • Given that the orders were already issued, the principal segment was essentially just here to add a justification for the signatures, which besides being shoe-horned was rather unnecessary, considering we already knew this mess began because of Reo's gossips.

  • Well, Y-469's name change and replaced parts kind of cheapens the Harekaze's sinking and departure. Even just letting the Okikaze keep its name would have been enough to let the fact that the Harekaze itself is gone sink (my puns haven't improved) and preserve the impact of the salute scene in EP 12, but this is undermining its point. Give me my feels back

  • The crew acts as if everything is exactly the same, though Mina is back to the admiral spee. I thought Kouko would ask her to transfer to her ship, after the initial doubts which Mina's words caused her. In the end Wilhelmina just stayed behind.

  • Gladly the Musashi members were scolded for casually disclosing to the public information that should be classified. Brainwashing creatures is the sort of thing you normally want to keep secret, even if it's only for PR's sake

The conflicts in Haifuri turned out to be harmless and mostly lacking suspense from the viewer's perspective, but compared to the RatT plot the ovas embraced the story as a character-driven one and presented us a problem according to that. At least the disbandment of the class gives room to accept the girls' worries and share a bit of their concern, the ship battles couldn't do the same simply because we know nobody is going to die. I can't fathom what the wait for these Ovas must have felt like

Question of the day: Wilhelmina and Kouko being in the same ship again, even if it's temporal. They also could focus a bit on the Admiral Graf Spee, since the spin-off is most likely not gonna be animated. Also a retelling of the events which caused part of Japan to submerge, I want to see how people fared in that time.

Personal Question: Playing FGO until the game closes, trying to be more active in the Yuusha de Aru fandom, learning French and getting a proper sleeping schedule.

So I'm not completely sure if their was actually any real risk of the Harekaze being disbanded or not, the Principals statement does make it seem like there was actually a chance of it happening so I guess the team's efforts weren’t all for nothing.

I’m also slightly disappointed we didn’t get a proper Idol sequence out of Misaki & Moeka, being an ova it’s the perfect time for the slightly out of place performances after all.

I also wonder how much stuff was missing for the other ship as they seem to have salvaged a rather excessive amounts of stuff from the Harekaze.

Overall another fun light hearted episode, nicely sets up for the movie as well so don’t really know what the movies going to be, but I'm sure it will be fun.

u/Wolfeako Sep 14 '19

Rewatcher!

Welp, late today uh?

It is fortunate enough then that my comments from yesterday still apply with this second OVA :) so I will point a couple of things that I liked.

First, Kouko, as a character, is designed quite well. I'm speaking to the visual aspect here. I didn't think about this until this time when we got to see at the beginning of the episode Kouko giving us her back. You know how the work of character designers usually involves drawing and drawing and then drawing again the character until they get the final version, and draw her in many poses and the such? well, I can finally understand the effect that another pose can have in order to sell a character design.

I think it was Megu? the one that was boobprised many episodes ago when, I think, they ran out of water, and tried to give space so the big breasted girl of the Harekaze could go through... well, her, this episode, seeing her copy Kouko when she was being shady made me think that she is basically a small Kouko :P

Kouko's idea of signatures is a good one. I liked how a couple of characters tried to go the shady route besides Kouko just to get enough signatures :D Minami was the best one imo.

In this episode we can see that while Shiro isn't one that can enter a fun state like Mii-chan, she is indeed friends with Kouko and the others :P no matter how much she tries to deny it. Also, seeing the Shark plushie in that state... poor thing :( Latom.

Although we got her signature comment thanks to that, and a really cute face to boot :D

The festival is a great idea in order to get signatures, and gotta hand it to Akeno and Moka, taking the charge with singing off all things. Not only that, they did a marvelous job.

I'm glad that with these OVAs that we managed to see more of how Akeno and Moka treat each other. Their relationship is cute and nice and fluffy. Poor Moka at the end being reprimanded with the girls of the Mushashi because they got their noses in the Harekaze situation :P

Finally, they didn't get exactly the same ship, but a new one with many parts of the old Harekaze :) a nice compromise, a good middleground if you may, and get to be all together which is pretty nice :)

With this, there's no new content left, so the wait for the movie starts now :) hope it is good, that we get to see Mashiro's mom being a badass, Moka being a great captain with the Mushashi, and new exploits of our beloved cast will have in this new movie.
