I hope that this next episode isn't a sinkfest.
We already lost two? ships. And two is two too many.
>>122621698
Two?

>>122621747
Two.
>>122621903
Dammit. NOOT!
Ｔｗｏ
On the one hand, I'd like a bit of historical accuracy. On the other hand, I don't want to see Kaga sink.
This is real dilemma.

Historical accuracy a shit.
>>122622205

Reminder.
I don't want to see girls die, but there have got to be some consequences for blundering your way back into the biggest failure of the war again. The drama the only confirmed death caused will be pointless if everyone's going to be protected by plot armor force fields and Bucky's senpai lust. Plus I think it could make a fitting end for Zuikaku and Kaga's arc.
There won't be any historical accuracy, considering the game is already nipponese history revision wish fulfillment.
>>122622407
I'm all for Abyssal's bringing freedom through force this week.
https://youtu.be/3AV11XaOdfg
>>122621698
I hope the next one to sink is Fubuki
She completely ruined the anime and makes me want to scrap every single fubuki I get starting with my starter.
>>122622085
Here's a funny bit of (probably unintentional) historical accuraccy: Real Kaga was supposed to support Operation MO, and at one point American intelligence thought that a non-existent sistership to Shoukaku and Zuikaku named Ryuukaku would be supporting Kaga.
>>122621698
I hate this show. I'd rather watch a WW2 documentary about the actual ships, which were far more interesting.
>>122622467
She isn't even sexy. How did the admiral have a wet dream about her.
>>122622403
Unlike the game, the anime has been nothing but falling into the same mistakes of the war. There's no revision going on either since it takes place in modern day. They're supposed to be fully acknowledging that they fucked up and suffering from varying degrees of PTSD.
>>122622540
A lot of people hate the show.
What people like is the characters of the series, since they're cute.
The only thing "historically accurate" will be that Yorktown will get sunk, and it won't even be by Hiryu, but by wunderkid Bucky instead.
>>122622470
What stopped Kaga supporting operation MO?
Tenryuu is my wife. Tenryuu is my life.
>>122622540
I watch both. I need a weekly dose of cute girls.
>>122622620
Such is life in resurgent Japan.
>>122622736
I'm sorry anon, but I have some bad news.
>>122622815
Well yeah, that picture is pretty badly drawn but what about it?
>>122622762
i wish to lick congos sweaty armpits
>>122622620
Yorktown getting sunk by Bucky would be rather ironic, what with her captain literally being a Buck master.
>>122622892
Have yorktown sink bucky and save the anime
>>122622540
So, well, what's stopping you from watching the many WW2 documentaries available about the actual ships?
>>122622815
What about it, Tatsuta just accidentally fell on Tenryuu is all.
>>122622917
Please
>>122622843
We all do, anon.
>>122622839
Oh, okay.
>>122622712
It was thought that just Kaga and Shouhou would not be enough to support the operation, so Mou Sugoi was switched out for the 5thCarDiv. The thought was that they would not run into too much trouble and might get some more experience out of it.
>>122622930
Then why are Tatsuta's boobs pointing upwards?
>>122622470
>Ryuukaku
>Dragon Crane
that's a fucking impressive name for a nonexistent carrier.
>>122622984
I dunno you tell me.
>>122622917
Bucky sinks 4 months after midway, so maybe in episode 12?
>>122622620
Hard to sink what won't be there.
>>122623147
Then S2 without fubuki ruining it?
I cant believe we had to deal with fubuki's kai2 angst for more than one episode.
>>122622815
A waifu isn't worth waifuing unless she has a waifu of her own.
>>122623166
Kaga will sink/be captured next episode and return as CV Hime in the final.
They're saving it as a surprise which is why a mere Wo has been set up as the antagonist most of the time.
>>122623166
I thought that one eyed Wo was supposed to be Yorktown?
>>122623166
Tell me about it, glad I'm not in this show!
>>122623280
This is true. You must maintain your honor and move on.
>>122623376
I think she's actually meant to represent the entire Yorktown class. That's my theory at least. But it will make Midway very confusing if true. How can one third of an Abyssal sink?
>>122622470
>>122623094
Sounds like someone fucked up IDing Hiryuu or Souryuu
>mfw the final episode is 100% historically accurate
>>122623473
Shouhou actually.
>>122623533
So what, they didn't know what to call it so they just crammed the Ryuus and Kakus together?
>>122623412
Mikuma has been in the background several times.
>>122623509
We can only hope. They've been building us up so much already.
>>122623376
Not during the MI event, just Diomedea being Diomedea.
>>122623509
nah
TTK will come back at last minute to save the day and he will have Kisiragi
Murakumo-kai2 when?
Is KTKM and dyke's spinning due to their torpedo tubes being mounted on both sides, so they'd have to rotate in real life to fire them all?
TTK will comeback only on the abyssals side and kills fubuki.
Make way for the ship that saved the show!
>>122624104
I really doubt it's going to happen what with TTK self-insert, the entire premise of the show being cute girls doing cute things, and episode 3 being handled absolutely terribly.
I mean, there's enough evidence that it could go either way, but that's just how I feel.
The battles are the worst part of the show anyway, I honestly wouldn't even care if MI happened offscreen and the last two episodes are just shenanigans.
>>122624245
Nope.
Because MUH (reinforced and upgraded) PLOT ARMOR

>>122624321
Just call a japanese truck to run over fubuki.
Trucks and japanese colds are the strongest forces in japan.
>>122624238
Nope. It was a fancy evasive manoeuvre.
>>122624295
All I ever wanted was to watch Yorktown say カワイイナ with that stupid smile of her animated. Is that too much to ask? The fight can be ass for all I care, but I just want this one fucking thing.
>>122624248
You killed the last thread. stay out.

Wouldn't that mean she should already have one?
>>122624363

Hellcats a shit.
>>122625013
But they said it was just taiha, if she really sunk then they would have made a huge deal about it and used it for cheap drama like fubuki's kai2 angst or Kisaragi sinking
I honestly think >murica saves the day would be a good way to handle the finale.
think about it like this, right now, the fleet is as it once existed, and the fleet as it once existed *lost*. what could possibly happen to change that calculus? what better way then your old opponent becoming your new reenforcements?
it works on a lot of levels; former enemies working together vs a mutual threat is a time tested narrative device, it would help contradict the whole 'abyss=usn' thing, and it also provides a solution to the whole 'doomed to repeat history' thing without retarded ass pulls like 11th hour superpowers.
it can even be played for maxium historical irony, by performing the same trick on the abyss that happened to the Japanese. the truk kanmusu desperately fighting to get to the enemy carries, but cant manage to break through. then at the most narratively appropriate critical moment, wings of dauntless diver bomber fairies materialise through the cloud cover, ambushing wo-chan, marking a turning point for the climax wherefubuki carries the day by skinking all the carries and getting all the bitches, all glory to the fubuki show, the end
>>122625013

It'd be a good way to introduce girls coming later in the year, that's for sure.
>>122625111
Save for one scene, Kisaragi's whole character was introduced in the episode she died, and we still had to deal with a whole damn episode of mourning.
>>122625136
why are reimu and tenshi dressed up as maids?
>>122625059
the base hardly made a big deal about kisaragi.
the destroyers were sad for a day, but there was no funeral or even a moment of silence for her death.
Of course, knowing who made this anime, she probably is till alive and will return last episode or in the OVA
>>122625195
I don't see it.
>>122625195

I'm surprised her
Im still not sure how the whole "ship girl" concept works. As in:
Are they humans who happen to be able to use their "ship" armament? Or even human?
Do they interact with normal humans? (Admiral doesn't count)
Do normal humans even exist on kancolle universe? (Admiral doesn't count)
Are the girls aware they are ships?
Are they physiologically the same as a "normal" human?
What physiological differences they have that allow them to use heavy weapons and be "repaired"?
>>122625136
I want to eat ice cream off Mamiya's mammies.
>>122625061
Is this an ironic post? You do realize there is absolutely no way they can pull off a "MURRIKA!" finale because of the repercussions it will have from the audience and changing the whole franchise by introducing something not in the original source?
The anime has been the biggest pussyfoot so far doing nothing but fanservice, safe writing, and trying to keep original source as best as possible. Unless the directors and writers all decided to get high, there is no way they will ever consider making such a move.
>>122625195

Human girls with memories from their battleship times, maybe world break would be a good example with the saviors.

At a certain point of explanation in all science fiction or fantasy, you're going to have to explain the setting with "It's Magic" or "It's future science." That's not bad writing, that's just how the genre works.

Since when did the anime ever say they where fairies? 11 episodes in and I never knew this.
>>122625858
Even "I got bit by a radioactive spider and gained spider powers" is an explanation. It's not a GOOD explanation, but it's an explanation.
Granted, some of the novels actually bother.
Never forget the thousands of fairies that gave their life for the glory of the TTK.
>>122625681
Kirishima.
>>122625858
You haven't read F/SN.
>>122625962
It doesn't.
The game doesn't either.
It's just want they have been named.
>>122625962
They're all over the game, every piece of equipment comes with a fairy or more. They never actually explained them in the anime, though. They handle all of the equipment, fire, piloting, etc. When you see the ships saying Fire! and other shit the orders are being made to the fairies inside the turrets, etc.
>>122625945
I am, I just don't need to conform to /a/'s low standards for the sake of fitting in.
>>122625979Firstly, Parker's abilities are only superficially at best connected to spider powers, most of them have nothing to do with spiders whatsoever.
Secondly, "I am a human born with the ability to use the souls of reborn warships and their powers" isn't exactly a much worse explanation.
>tfw when you will never lead your beautiful fleet of kanmusu on a crusade to retake the Holy Land from the kebabs
>>122625962
That's just what people call them, they're not explained in the game either, but they are there. Calm Seas manga as them operating equipment in a few parts, and they do appear in the 4koma as well.

>>122625818
That is because does the game does not pound you with exposition since none of that is really important considering how the game plays. Other materials generally have their own way of explaining things, but you probably wont find a concrete explanation.

Even a show like Naruto or fucking whatever just have "ninjas exist and use magic" as part of the setting. There's no questions asked because you can basically think to yourself "that's how the universe is" and it makes sense. Same goes for gods, shinigami, nightmares, whatever.
But having actual WWII-era ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy suddenly appear in girl form is just weird. It's just too "perfect." Why WWII? Was there some event that caused ship girls and the abyss to all appear at once? (The Kagerou LNs do this, I think.) I'd even be fine with it if people just acknowledged how weird the whole fucking thing was (Cranes LN kind of does this) before rolling with it.

Most shows don't have the super-autism explanations that F/SN is capable of but even a show like Railgun embeds its powers in a (mostly bullshit) explanatory framework.

It's a shitty Yamashiro because it doesn't even have a pagoda.
I understand artistic license and everything but I it's still giong to be Kirishima to me.

Your analogy doesn't answer my question especially when there is magic involved.

>even a show like Railgun
Yeah about that, esper powers is just magic that follows a different set of laws created by Aleister messing around with archetypes to counter the magic he technically help to created and makes up most of the Magic Side.
Do you think we'll ever see an HMS ship?

The Fusous are yamato nadeshikos, they know better than to wear head gear in the bath.

If you really want an answer.
Nuclear Weapon testing.
I want to scratch a flat top.

Yeah, yeah, idol theory, magic gods, Birdway spends an entire novel lecturing on magic and so on. I was thinking about Railgun the anime which dispenses with all that, though.
In retrospect it was an awful choice of example.

If you watch enough LN adaptations to where it's 50% for you that's pretty fucking sad.

This is very safe for work.
The age of the battleships is over GET IT ALREADY
