I do want to know how his father managed to steal the ship or w/e happened. It's odd that they made little girls the AI though. Also, it seems odd that the story will revolve around them moving some stuff to the US and such since it seems so simplistic story-wise.
It's 2 episodes as of now. I don't know what's so odd about the story; plenty of stories start with a simple arc used to introduce how the world works before moving onto larger things. Given this is only 1 cour though, you'd have to ask someone else how the pacing looks like it'll turn out. Moe AI systems isn't odd either, considering this is Japan. + Show Spoiler [episode 2] +
I laughed at Hyuuga getting beaten and looted in the past off screen because I've modernized like 3 of them lol. All I got were 35.6cm cannons. I definitely like Takao's character design a whole lot more than Kancolle version.
with Takao blushing and being all like "I want that human to board me too!" there's no further information needed to know where this is going
Yeah...that got a bit creepy. Kind of annoying how that deito was all predicated on a generic, easily fixed misunderstanding, but I think I am expecting too much out of anime at this point.

Having the same deadpan facial expression/emotion all the time makes that pretty hard lol.
lol but she's a ship! She's still discovering things as evident by her touching the starfish and saying its squishy so I think eventually, she'll open up more?

I was hoping for the MC to be unique with his ship. But turns out that every Fog ship also have a girl AI or whatever it is
Also, the part about the MC being a traitor to humanity doesn't make much sense (or maybe I misread from episode 1). The flashback hardly explained much, imo. Also, its bizarre that they are actively seking his help, even though he is a "Traitor"
BTW, when did his friends joined him on board of the sub? I recall him "running away" from school. I don't recall him stopping by to pick his friends

All the subs are deadpan, but they all have distinct personalities. Iona herself is pretty great at doing snarky things thanks to said deadpan expression. I prefer 402 though, but they probably won't reach the part where she really gets to shine.

He's a traitor because he essentially commandeered navy property. And they're not really actively seeking his help. More accurately, one faction of the government is seeking his help, as there is a significant amount of political maneuvering going on behind the scenes. This will probably be the focus of the next few episodes.
As for why they want his help, I-401 is basically the only human controlled ship capable of fighting the fog in any capacity. The vibration warhead they want to transport is capable of destroying fog armor, but is not capable of penetrating their Klein fields. Conventional weaponry is plain useless. I-401, being a fog ship itself, comes equipped with corrosion warheads which can do both. + Show Spoiler [Ep 2] +
The superheavy cannon can also do both, obviously. Incidentally, it's not really accurate to say that I-401 looted the superheavy cannon from Hyuuga. It's more that they gained the construction blueprints for the superheavy cannon from Hyuuga's core. Fog ships are composed of nanoparticles, so they can effectively reform themselves into different shapes. So when Iona fired the cannon, she didn't expose the cannon, she formed it.

MC? I'm not sure what flashback you're taking about. I've only watched the first episode so far though lol. Not sure about friends either. He ran away then well, they are there. Are they really his friends though? They look different from what they were like at his school?

The superheavy cannon can also do both, obviously. Incidentally, it's not really accurate to say that I-401 looted the superheavy cannon from Hyuuga. It's more that they gained the construction blueprints for the superheavy cannon from Hyuuga's core. Fog ships are composed of nanoparticles, so they can effectively reform themselves into different shapes. So when Iona fired the cannon, she didn't expose the cannon, she formed it.
deadpan? Explain please or do you just mean her expression and the way she acts?
The shipmates came aboard sometime during the two year timeskip.
The subs all have the same deadpan expression. Their personalities, on the other hand, are anything but.

I do want to know how his father managed to steal the ship or w/e happened. It's odd that they made little girls the AI though. Also, it seems odd that the story will revolve around them moving some stuff to the US and such since it seems so simplistic story-wise.
It's 2 episodes as of now. I don't know what's so odd about the story; plenty of stories start with a simple arc used to introduce how the world works before moving onto larger things. Given this is only 1 cour though, you'd have to ask someone else how the pacing looks like it'll turn out. Moe AI systems isn't odd either, considering this is Japan. + Show Spoiler [episode 2] +
I laughed at Hyuuga getting beaten and looted in the past off screen because I've modernized like 3 of them lol. All I got were 35.6cm cannons. I definitely like Takao's character design a whole lot more than Kancolle version.
with Takao blushing and being all like "I want that human to board me too!" there's no further information needed to know where this is going
rofl. I must've missed that last part unless it was at the end of the second episode.

Having the same deadpan facial expression/emotion all the time makes that pretty hard lol.
lol but she's a ship! She's still discovering things as evident by her touching the starfish and saying its squishy so I think eventually, she'll open up more?
As long as by opening up more, you don't mean opening her legs, i'm fine!
lol. I do feel like the anime is aiming for that kind of stuff on the side based on the credits at the end. Guess it's supposed to get more people to watch it or something.
I was hoping for the MC to be unique with his ship. But turns out that every Fog ship also have a girl AI or whatever it is
Also, the part about the MC being a traitor to humanity doesn't make much sense (or maybe I misread from episode 1). The flashback hardly explained much, imo. Also, its bizarre that they are actively seking his help, even though he is a "Traitor"
BTW, when did his friends joined him on board of the sub? I recall him "running away" from school. I don't recall him stopping by to pick his friends
MC? I'm not sure what flashback you're taking about. I've only watched the first episode so far though lol. Not sure about friends either. He ran away then well, they are there. Are they really his friends though? They look different from what they were like at his school?

All the subs are deadpan, but they all have distinct personalities. Iona herself is pretty great at doing snarky things thanks to said deadpan expression. I prefer 402 though, but they probably won't reach the part where she really gets to shine.

He's a traitor because he essentially commandeered navy property. And they're not really actively seeking his help. More accurately, one faction of the government is seeking his help, as there is a significant amount of political maneuvering going on behind the scenes. This will probably be the focus of the next few episodes.
As for why they want his help, I-401 is basically the only human controlled ship capable of fighting the fog in any capacity. The vibration warhead they want to transport is capable of destroying fog armor, but is not capable of penetrating their Klein fields. Conventional weaponry is plain useless. I-401, being a fog ship itself, comes equipped with corrosion warheads which can do both. + Show Spoiler [Ep 2] +

ok I think I get you now. You mean the expression is deadpan lol.
edit: watched the second episode, very interesting. + Show Spoiler +
rofl at takao wanting a human onboard. I guess I can see where this is going. Seems like he's sparing them in the hopes that they'll turn and join his side(not that it's his main reason or anything). I gotta say though, that the battle they had was quite interesting. The maneuvering and such although the superheavy cannon still feels like it came out of nowhere even though there was a mention of them defeating Hyuuga and all. Do we have any more details about Hyuuga atm? Would like to know more who the ship was etc...
I've got too much on my to-watch list this season, I'm probably going to make some cuts.
I'm thinking of keeping: Gingitsune Golden Time Hajime no Ippo: Rising Kakumeiki Valvrave 2nd Season Kill la Kill Kyoukai no Kanata
And I might drop those quite easily if I don't have time: Coppelion Log Horizon Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai Nagi no Asukara Strike the Blood Tokyo Ravens Yowamushi Pedal
I'm disappointed though, not really anything outstanding imo this season. Pretty generic stuff all around. Edit: Well last season, I didn't start watching Uchouten until like ep 8 was released, so maybe there is this one AOTS gem that I'm completely missing out on, but I'll pick it up when you guys talk about it. I trust you guys haha. And I still didn't get to watch Monogatari season 2, lawl.
