Finding out why they attacked us can wait, first we avenge the rice cooker.

Some details about Moka and Mike are stated in their profiles on the series' website. The VAs also talked about them and their friendship in the radio show. That plus what we saw in episode 1 is just enough to make an educated guess about what kind of person she is.

Third; Her instructor has blatantly lied about her own and Mike's actions, it would come as no surprise if the instructor or school/government exaggerates the incident in an attempt to force Moka into action should she refuse.

Sure, and she would probably keep lying. I just don't think Moka would believe it. Even if she was forced to chase after Mike, I would expect her to try make contact with her to get her version of the events before taking any actions. That's my take until proven wrong.

For fuck sake. You are not making this easy for me, Kanae Itou...

Although it honestly makes almost no sense to send a battleship after a destroyer, not the least of which is the sheer difference in top speed and endurance.

[Kazu-kun]

There's that too. A Yamato-class battleship has an estimated top speed of around 27 knots. Harekaze can supposedly go up to 35 knots.

The Musashi would never catch them.

*Raise Your Flag..

BTW, I've listening that while watching this OP & vice versa. and it was perfectly match..

It seems that the damage to the rice cooker was superficial. Provided the internal trough's structural integrity was not compromised (which would cause unnecessary escape of steam and halt its function), it could still work

Beat a basic rice cooker back into shape (not those fancy ones) can be done fairly easily with hammer.

You don't use hammer, you use a mallet, if the rice cooker is made of metal.

I watched episode 2 live. It's gotten real.

-Sarushima sank. Harekaze declared having mutinied
-Mike ordered a blackout of all other communication equipment until the ship reached Torishima.
-Communication to Yokosuka remains cut off
-Graf Spee the battleship from Wilhelmshaven school opened fire on the Harekaze without hailing them
-Mike decided to use live ammo, and both her and Shiro turned the key to authorize the use of live fire
-Harekaze barely made it out alive
-Moka SOS'd Mike at the very end of the episode.


Japan's sinking after the Russo-Japanese war of 1905 from Methane clathrate, a highly efficient fuel.

[Stark700]

Wow, this show has been quite exciting with the naval warfare content.

Nice OP song as well and we also got a bit of characterization and flashbacks. That cliffhanger has my excited for the next episode as well. Dark horse of the season, calling it now.

[Anh_Minh]

I'm starting to feel really sorry for those girls. The problems just keep piling on.

[Vallen Chaos Valiant]

Interesting...
There is some implication going on in this show. In particular, it is possible that heaver-than-air flying was never invented. The talk about helium and hydrogen balloons suggest that they never left the zeppelin age. This explains the absence of Aircraft Carriers. And all of a sudden battleships are back in business.

Consider that Japan is now a series of islands, if they had planes they would have used them more often. But we haven't seen any...

[Nachtwandler]

Oh. And Mashiro confirmed as principals daughter. I though she might be a sister but looks like she has brother and sister too.

My counterargument to this is that Sarushima the Littoral Combat Ship is clearly designed with rotary wing aviation in mind. If there is no aviation requirements, then one wouldn't design a littoral combat vessel that way.

Ep.2

We all get tricked to think this would be pure SOL ep... Ahahaha.

That was enjoyable naval warfare. So they have decided to use the live ammo.

Look like engine room crews are not so found of Mike so far.... Actually, they are only one group that seem to 'dislike' Mike, especially 'Kuro' and 'Maron'. Also, I just found out that 'Kuro' and 'Maron' are main characters in prequel manga.

Musashi calls for help...? Not sure sure if Moeka really call for help or it will be a trap. However, if it is the later, it will be nice ep.3 twist.

[Requiem-x]

Ok, maybe we aren't getting double rused after all. The sarushima sank? What kind of conspiracy is taking place here?!

Gotta say, poor Mashiro's burden is way bigger than I thought, I'm surprised she isn't way grouchier about the whole situation. Maybe she's just used to the fukou da already

Good to see the faces of the rest of the crew, and getting ships for them as well. Talk about thoughtful, and I'm not being sarcastic.

That sort of battles usually isn't my thing, but I did get excited this instance, and boy, that was an extreme way of introducing a transfer student.

Already looking forward to next week.

[LoweGear]

Episode 2 is really setting the tone for "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE", with all of the mysterious things they keep throwing, from the Admiral Spee attacking the Harekaze, to one of its crewmembers abandoning ship, and finally Moka's distress call.

The conspiracy behind everything better be good, because so far I have no idea what the hell the endgame is supposed to be.

Also, the Harekaze has some wicked looking jetskis, I want one!

[Ernietheracefan]

Will Moka became another Mami/Kamina..??

Please don't..

But the Sarushima clearly has a helipad on its rear.
