Pirates have cruisers. Right in the middle in terms of firepower, speed, and cargo capacity. That makes a lot of sense! Very useful infodump there.
So that means the Crest Eagle is only less than half a pirate ship size.

She was missing indeed... goo that she'll return next week.
Wow... quick on the uptake, aren't you? As if the name (Serenity) wasn't obvious enough, the hair style was pretty much a 1:1 copy of Usagi's typical odango hair style - except for a little detail, Usagi's tails are straight rather than slightly braided: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl...er&charid=7320 The only thing that is totally unfitting is that they made the princes into a loli, very strange... she should better be Marika's age.

That plan's thwarted now thanks to Marika, and killing her now in the open would have nasty consequences for them - besides, they most likely wouldn't be able to do it anyway, with her being on the Bentenmaru. This is full of win

Gah, I lost internet for 2 days and missed out on a lot of interesting discussion, goddamnit. Well, here goes.

Also, while battlecruisers in games and SF tend to be decent at tanking, IRL they weren't so effective in the line of battle, because BCs only have heavy cruiser armor, which can't tank BB shells, and they're bigger than CAs, which means they're easier targets to hit. Since Bentenmaru is also smaller than Odette II, I would strongly argue that this ship is classed as a heavy cruiser - fast enough to chase fleeing merchies, fast enough to run from BBs, and powerful enough to kill DDs and other escorts. That's the beauty of a CA: it can kill what it can't outrun, and it can outrun what it can't kill. Quote:
It was still balls out badass. Of that, I do not deny. With regard to the Corback-class, I'm inclined to think that they're destroyer-class vessels; the JMSDF nomeculture used for them, goeikan/escort ship, is what other navies call destoryers. Again, USN-style Surface Action Group: 1 BB + 4 DD. DDs cover the BB and act as meat shields if necessary, while the BB concentrates on picking off the targets. Quote:

Interestingly, the three German pocket battleships - which the Kriegsmarine later classed as heavy cruisers, based on their displacement - were tasked with commerce raiding, sinking and capturing enemy shipping. Now why does that sound familiar.... tl;dr above: Bentenmaru is equivalent to the Kriegsmarine's pocket battleships: a heavy cruiser class ship with battleship-level guns, combining the agility, speed and endurance of a CA with the firepower of a BB, into a very effective commerce raider - which is exactly what a space pirate needs. Also, this may just be me, but it looks like electronic warfare is awesome but impractical for large-scale engagements when the aggressor is outnumbered, given that so far the hacking EW we've seen involves taking over a single ship. Conventional EW (ECM, ECCM, etc) appears to still be viable, however.

Whenever I see 閃光, the first thing to come to mind
Spoiler:
Time to harass Terada to include Bentenmaru and the Voxes for the next SRW installment (or at least the ARIEL)

That would be cool to see the Bentenmaru Jerseyfied. Although seeing Madoka and Lan meet up with the Space Yacht Club would be very cool too. I would get a kick out of Jenny or Marika getting Julio's name wrong too. Also imagine the possibilities of a triple date with Marika X Chiaki, Jenny X Lynn and Madoka X Lan.

I had some hope for some realistic dynamics and animation when they showed Chiaki panty flash when she was on the bar stool that one time but than no more as if they got lazy when animating. |

Regarding the Yacht Club
Spoiler:
Hmm. Looks like from BD Vol 3 onward, Matsumoto (LN artist) will provide the Omake. Back in January, some 2ch posters did agree on the anime take on Marika's character design. She looks more like a high school girl as compared to her novel version and it is suitable for Satou's claim for Marika's character growth. They said novel Marika is too beautiful and adult-like. Though this will probably cause a problem when they adapt vol 3 . Funny though, that now one of the things that they're discussing is "What is going to be cut down from the novel?" . They also discussed the possibility for Mouretsu Pirates ending (Omedetou Ending, "You've completed the Game" ending, "Her father is the last boss" ending )
