If that's so, everyone's morality is luck.
Morality is all about having the correct emotional biases. If I feel bad at watching people getting hurt, I have good morals. If my emotions say I should help such people and is sufficiently strong I actually do, I am a hero. If I feel a sense of contempt when seeing an African complete with dark skin, I am racist. Most people want to have good morals as defined by their society, yet getting it is more luck than intent because it depends so much on nature and nurture, Nevertheless, good morals (correct emotional biases) still make you a good person. An emotional bias towards selflessness = good, selfishness = bad. Quote:

Besides, if that's the path they want, Mike's depiction is entirely wrong. She's shaky. She was nearly in shock. If she has firmly decided she's correct (even if the computation was entirely emotional) and she's not going to let her XO steamroller her, instead of just running in her jet ski, she should be much more firm than what we saw. She might even ask her crew to help her because dammit if we are to risk the ship to the point of near certain death for Moka chan, we can at least do it in a way that has a realistic chance of getting Mike onto Musashi. Instead, it looks more like even Mike knows what she's doing is wrong, the victory of the id over the superego in the most selfish way. |

The "big deal" here is people are implicitly agreeing with Myssa Rei and acting as though those Tweets did in fact come from Suzuki. I doubt that a military advisor for a project would have advanced to where he was by hand-waving things away. As such, we will merely have to agree to disagree here, as continuing would be to go off-mission. Now, I'm sure that a proper background could be provided (for instance, the sea levels and corresponding lack of land for runways and other infrastructure necessary for flight), but until the nature of those tweets is clarified, that is all I will say on the matter.

So personally, I can just about buy a world without planes. Further, that this world is intended to be low realism is pretty much obvious in Ep1 in the leaving port scene (Harekaze leaves port like a car...) What nevertheless has me a wee bit annoyed is how they just lazily put in the modern designs without even a nanogram of thought of what a state of an art warship will look like in a world of no flight. A stupid teenage fanboy can come up with better ideas than "They will look exactly the same as ours, with no compensation for their lost capabilities." Narrative or not, it still has to be superficially believable, and I'm having a hard time believing modern ships in a world without missiles look exactly like what they would look like in a world with missiles. Could they interest NO mecha designers into building plausible designs for a world without missiles? |

The more I think about it, the more I think Myssa Rei just found some random tweets and figured that she was capable of translating it any way she wished to fit her own narrative because the rest of us don't read Japanese and can't access the Tweets ourselves easily. So no, this isn't something I will just buy, not unless Myssa Rei can produce better evidence or admit that she's wrong. Then we can consider the viability of a world without heavier-than-air flight without MyssaRei acting like she knows everything and setting the precedence for this discussion.

But then, admittedly Shiro could have been a bit smarter about it. Since Mike did not give any start time for the order, she could have exploited just the letter of it and immediately called for flank speed and S-manuevers, making it physically impossible for Mike to put down her jet-ski. Maybe that's Shiro's judgment error, but that's not the same as her endangering the ship instead of Mike. Quote:

In fact, maybe the animator's should have shown at least some smoke rising from Musashi. At least make her look a bit damaged, so Mike looks like she has something to stand on. Instead, even her paint looks pristine. If this is not bad animation, then they are clearly going for not even partially justifying this. |

From a visceral standpoint. Then you can't take into account advanced thoughts. She's reacting instinctively to what she sees ... except what she sees is an unharmed Musashi. |

If Mike get demoted, what will she become? Can she still be Vice-captain?
On good side, Mike now know that Moka is not responsible for Musashi's action which means there is probably some kind of munity on the ship. If she can link this with Mi-chan story, and sees the similarity between two cases, then she will get closer to the truth. The rest is she has to link Hamster and "Tama's berserk" together to discover the truth behind all mysterious munity on the sea. I think in a future ep, there must be an ep. where most Harekaze crews get "infected". It is only way for our MCs to learn about the truth. If Mike has to rescure and cure harekaze crews too, then that would be her chance to redeem herself.

Clear orders are not just in the verbiage. They also fit the situation and preempt the questions, so the subordinate won't have doubts. You leave problems so obvious your subordinate can't pretend to not see them, and all of a sudden your order's not so clear after all. Quote:
To be serious, however, what can Shiro say at that point. "We should have started running at least five minutes ago, and now it is too late for us?" Of course she wants to try to run, and they'll have to try, but the objective evidence suggests the best time was up long ago. And I don't see why I should insert huge delays between the cuts when they are not procedurally necessary, just to transfer Mike's fault onto Shiro. Quote:

And if you say Mike is using her heart, not her brain ... well, again Musashi looks big, strong, tough, unhurt and doesn't look like it is going to. Her own destroyer looks very fragile in comparison. So viscerally she should be producing electrochemical potentials in the same general ratios as the numbers above would indicate. If Mike is running out to Moka not because of what she sees, but her latest imagination, doesn't that kind of make Mike look .. bad? Somehow, I prefer to think that Harekaze's crew will be very forgiving of good old Mike. Maybe the act of the showing forgiveness will cause Mike to grow up in the right direction. |

Mike's action in the last episode was wrong according to the protocol, but technically, she & Harekaze didn't disobeying the order to observe (Mike was able to see Moka). And I'd expecting Harekaze crews to having a discussion with Toumai's instructors (they could escort them back to school).
Shiro is too stiff (but she has a point) and she's by the book type.. #TeamMike

In a world where highschoolers are given old warships, and in this case THE largest battleship ever built, why instructors use Akizuki Class Destroyers and Independence Class LCSes? Since this is apparently an Highschool, and Instructors are pretty much teachers in this analogy, they should have better ships than that, something to one-up the students. In this world without large-scale use of aerodynamic lift-flight, they should have Zumwalt class Destroyers, at least. And how about THE Navies? I mean the REAL Navies that does battles - Wars happens and its definately not a peaceful world. Can you imagine what kind of vessels the Navies would use in this world? 300+m, 100.000ton Nuclear-Powered Monster Battleships bristling with Giant Railguns for capital ships? |

#TeamMike: it may be a military setting, but at the end of the day, these are still high school girls who have around a half season to learn and mature, not seasoned military staff with a job to do (and the requisite training to do it well).
