Can't find a sub yet, but let's get the party boat started.
Pictured: MC and ship cat.
What is it: girls and warships.
What it might become: War Thunder naval mode partnership.
First for Shiro
>>14104060
it's going to devolve into cute girls doing cute things and you know it
so girls und panzer at sea?
>>14104078
I'm curious about what game it is going to hook up with, which it definitely will.
>>14104050
>Can't find a sub yet,
HS is perfectly fine, I doubt any group will pick this up.
>>14104079
I'm glad this is a case of actual girls manning an actual ship, and not some silly "The Cute girls are the ship/vehicle" ala Strike Witches, Arpeggio and KanColle. Not to say I didn't find some enjoyment in the aforementioned shows, and I'm not a realismfag either, but it's kind of refreshing for me since I haven't seen many shows that do this and I don't think there are many.
I was just surprised, because for some reason I went in to this thinking it was a show about those girls that go diving really deep for pearls, and instead I got something completely different.
You seriously think that this can beat Used goods ojousan : The bike?
>>14104096
Yep. I like it so we can have kind of seriousface sailing interactions between ship crew members instead of personifications shooting shit.
Wait, I thought this was going to be a cute SoL about girl's protecting the ocean in the sense of protecting the wildlife, cleaning up pollution, and raising awareness of the environment.
I didn't think they were ACTUALLY protecting the oceans with fleets of ships. I clearly wasn't thinking like a /m/an.
>>14104214
It's fine, I didn't expect a war to break right out at the end...
>>14104214
I was expecting SoL silly war-games like GuP
>>14104224
>>14104233
>hahaa the teacher'll radio in and say they passed the test right
>WAIT WHAT
>>14104062
so her mom or grandma is the principal?
is this why they've been mutinied?
>when your sensei false flags you
Aw shit, hope the plot actually goes somewhere
>>14105747
Apparently there is a real war going on now, warship gunner style.
>that ending
What the fuck
These girls from their personalities to their character designs are impressively bland and generic.
>>14107178
Do you have anything else to say?
>>14104082
WG of course. It's by the GUP staff and they already did a collab with WoT.
>>14104792
this was me at the end
>the hell were the other student ships doing when harekaze was being shelled?
>wait, they're probably in on it
>holy shit what the fuck is going on
>>14104082
WoWS?
They already had a collaboration with Arpeggio for WoWS, and they had a collaboration with GuP for WoT.
They got a branch in Japan.
>>14104214
So are you guys saying they pull some Ender's Game level shit at the end? They teach cute girls doing cute things about warships, and then they've actually just delivered the killing blow in a war? Because that would be awesome to do in one of these cute girl + military hardware shows someday if not.
Some Madoka level madness. In the grim darkness of this twisted reality we make little girls fight the bloodiest battles of mankind.
If it's not already here, it's coming someday, just let Gen Urobuchi have a crack at writing it.
I wonder if the false flag is because the teacher is pissed at the Harekaze....cat-napping the fat phat cat.
>>14107201
>They teach cute girls doing cute things about warships, and then they've actually just delivered the killing blow in a war?
High school girls join navy academy, each "class" gets assigned one ship, everyone in different roles according to their grades/aptitude tests. First activity is some orientation, they have to rendezvous at a certain place. The cute girls think they're just going to do some training, but upon their (late) arrival they get fired upon by their teacher. They don't really know what's going on and eventually they decide to fire a relatively harmless torpedo back at them, thinking it's a test, and they escape. Turns out the teacher was provoking them into firing back, and calls HQ and says they're mutinying. Girls are now branded rogue traitors who fired on their instructor. End episode.
I don't know if this is just going to be a double bait & switch, but if it doesn't just end up being some elaborate training exercise, the show'll probably be cute girls on a warship being implicated in some big conspiracy scheme for some reason and them trying to survive against the rest of the fleet. The MC's best friend is serving on another ship so there's plenty of potential there for some melodrama e.g. trying to convince her of their innocence/win her over while fighting each other
Anyway, none of us know since i think the plot is anime original, and I can't find any info about the manga, which only started a few months ago, anywhere.
So they loaded nothing but live ammunition for the Harekaze so they can actually say they were hit by the mutinying Harekaze.
Though, I'll laugh if the people that loaded the torpedo didn't realise that they loaded the real deal instead of the training torpedo, kind of like the destroyer William D. Porter, which fired live torpedos into the water in the direction of the battleship Iowa during training.
>tfw your ship was mistaken as a ship that went on a mutiny because of some idiot that loaded the real torpedos when you ordered for training torpedos
>>14107402
Except they loaded a training torpedo. If it was a real torpedo the ship would've been more fucked up.
>>14107178
>literally Nanoha
>>generic
Go kill yourself with fire.
I wasn't expecting much but I'm really curious about where this shit is heading. I'm still partly convinced this is just some training exercise where one new ship is selected as the mouse while the other students chase them, but the way those naval guys reacted says it's not.
But then, what's the sensei's goal? I need more information!
>>14107443
There's also the fact that the sensei's boss's daughter is XO of the Harekaze.
>>14108608
I want Rei to set the timing on my torpedo, if you know what I mean.
also kouko's old man impression was hilarious.
>>14104050
Is this only going to be ship to ship battles? No chance of submarines or drone strikes?
Would love to see some anti-air barrages.
>>14108614
WAREWAREWA~
I love her already.
>>14108608
>their Admiral is a fucking cat
U wot?
>>14108641
>>14108641
Wouldn't be the first time that kind of thing happened, Tri-Zenon has a dog as a spaceship captain.
>>14108660
>>14108671
Oh yeah, forgot about Tri-Zenon. Speaking of, still no good subs?
>>14108676
No, still is in the realm of dialogue that wouldn't be out of place in a Monty Python sketch.
>>14108641
Just rewatched the OP, looks like they pick up a new girl along the way, bets on her being German?
Also Kouko's joke about an indepedent nation reminds me of an old OVA called Silent Service.
>>14108683
I'd bet on her being a Brit.
Japan based a lot of their naval traditions off of them. That, and the Germans weren't known for their Navy, outside of meme shit like U-boats and the Bismark.
Crow's nest best nest. Gotta love that flag work.
>>14108710
So professional.
>>14108683
German, magazine say she is called Willhiemina.

Found one for you.
That was actually really good

Truly a horrible subs.

I'm kinda surprised. But don't mind me, proceed discussing without bringing any KC into it.

Mecha means mechanical m8.
>>14104050
How is this /m/echa? I don't see mechs?
>>14108608
>Beautification officer
We gonna see some dazzle camouflage?
>>14110956
Nope.
>>14110995
>mecha isn't mecha unless it's a mech
sure thing hoss.
>>14110938
The enemy ships were the only good thing about Kancolle.
>>14107411
>Nanoha herself
>not generic
>>14110499
Really hoping for a Hunt for Red October moment when theyram a torpedo before it can arm itself
>>14110948
>They were actually launching live ammo
>End of the episode has them as enemies of the state
Like seriously, what the fuck have I just gotten into?
>>14111012
It does though. We have other boards for specific machines.
>>14111198
>warships aren't /m/ but spaceships are
Hmm
>>14111186
They launched a dummy torpedo. That light cruiser they targeted would've snapped like a twig otherwise.
>>14111201
No I mean the people shooting at them were shooting live ammo. Wasn't clear about that.
Does this look like a dummy torpedo that should go bonk instead of boom?
>>14104050
No I don't think Ships are /m/ or else we would have allowed KanColle on this board.
>>14111676
>rigging the dummy torpedoes in a student ship with live warheads
this is why you shouldn't trust adults
>>14111199
I don't know anon, do you really want us to discuss Kantai Collection?

>>14112301
We've had Kancolle thread sometimes. Just not all the time because the general conscious of /m/ says their design is boring as fuck except the villain designs.
Except Taitei-chan. Because Taitei-chan is love.
>>14112349
Fuck you man, Asashio and Acguy are OTP.
>>14112356
wat
>>14112367
You heard me.
>>14112356
That perspective is all wrong, yo.
>>14112385
I don't understand.
>>14112387
What do you not understand?
>>14112510
What's the association between a cute destroyer girl and Acguy? (Aside from the obvious fact that they're both really cute.)
>>14112349
Much better than Otaking's Variable Goose.
>>14112510
She is standing straight up but we're looking at the Acguy from an upskirt position.
>>14112531
Not like that's saying much
>>14112524
Asashio wears kind of a gym spats or a school swimsuit underneath. And Acguy is kinda is if you look it from the bottom.
>>14112319
A live torpedo would literally tear a LCS in half and send it sinking in seconds.
This had the most surprising start of the season for me. Of course I think it will all be worked out by the third episode but even so it has made me a lot more interested in watching it.
>>14117886
I wouldn't count on it, considering the weird marketing campaign.
>>14118155
What about it?
>>14108608
>>14104078
>devolve
>>14118225
The fact that they hid almost everything about the content of the show. You don't usually do that if you're just going to gloss over the drama.
>>14118239
Devolution
>>14118357
Demolition as well if we are lucky.
>>14112749
It was a live torpedo. It's just that civilians don't know how torpedoes work, Steve.
>>14111041
And Kancolle designs still manage to be better than the Chinese ripoff.
>>14121554
Richelieu.
>>14112749
>send it sinking in seconds.
It depends
There are ships that got torpedo'd hard and still managed to sail home.
Like in Operation Ten-Go, Destroyer Suzutsuki had her bow basically ripped out and sailed home in reverse the whole time.
>>14112322
I wouldn't mind. They're mecha musume afterall.
>Episode 2
>Russo Japanese War went in a completely different direction than normal
>aircraft limited to zeppelins and hot air balloons
The deepest lore
>>14125092
They never invented Airplanes?
That's pretty bullshit.
>>14125092
The most hilarious part of that is that they could just ask the dutch about dams.
Either that or just create landfills in the sea, which is something they've been doing since the middle ages.
>>14123148
The 17th century French cardinal?
>>14123217
Depends on where a torpedo hits you. If it manages to blow up your munitions store everything is fire.
>>14125128
'murika would have invented the airplane regardless of what happened in a war on the other side of the planet.
Released backstory:
>Alternate history
>Japan has a underwater methane based economy, never fought anyone after 1905
>There are underwater cities bio shock style
>Japan is on the border of collapse
>>14125358
>how you like your cute girls doing cute things senpai
>hmm, maybe a touch of alt history with a focus on advanced marine based technology if you don't mind
>I got you kazoku
>>14125358
sounds rad
I'm so confused.
So this week, the german exchange student ship shows up and starts firing so it;s like "okay maybe they're the baddies" but then one of their own crew flees and they shoot at her so it's like, what? Then the Musashi called, so captain's friend is in trouble now.
I think it's a trap, but it might also be a case of crews removing rogue elements like the blonde and moka who are getting in the way of this weird coup.
Maybe there's some suspicious people amongst the crowds in the first ep?
I don't think anyone will die ever in this moe show. It will just turn out to be a comedic villainous plot.
>>14127188
And the fact that Nosa is citing all those conventional theories is probably to indicate that this show is just a satire of the navy genre.
>tanks ain't /m/
>but boats are ok
>>14127214
There's a whole cartoon about boats in space.
>>14127214
>not knowing /m/ used to have a regular tank threads
frankly I don't know what happened, aside from/m/ got worse with its shitposting
>Hey guys. We are not going to use our warships for war anymore. We even put women in charge of them so don't worry, they can barely even drive, right.
>>14127393
This bothered me, If they weren't gonna use it for war, then why even add weapons? Why make it a warship instead of just a regular ship?
>>14127407
Let's just wait and see, shall we?
I doubt they'd literally exposit every single detail of the entire setting in the first episodes.
>>14127407
>why even add weapons?
Well, I assume pirates and other stuff are a threat.
>>14104050
Feels good that America won't be relevant.
Especially since that means they won't be the villain.
>>14127214
Tanks are /m/.
GuP isn't.
>>14127867
Do they really have to wear those masks inside for the exhaust gases?
And holy crap, that looks claustrophobic.
>>14128241
Might be SOP in case of gas attacks
>>14128248
>gas attacks
What is this, Verdun?
I'm pretty sure all modern tanks have NBC protection.
