For someone who studies the IJN, I didn't know if I would like this anime or not. Being bored one day I downloaded it and began watching it. By the end I was pleasantly surprised...the people behind the scenes managed to include a lot of nods to the ships' former lives, and I didn't really mind the historical revisions (otherwise we wouldn't have seen Taiho in the anime or the film at all).

The thoughts I came away with from watching the anime:

Battleships seem to be either crazier than a box of frogs (Kongos), stoic individuals who seem to be above everything else (Nagato), or girls-next-door who could be a helluva lot of fun and who would be perfect as naughty librarians or naughty secretaries (Mutsu). And who wouldn't want a hot girl like Kongo chasing after them?

Carriers love to eat (Akagi) and can be highly competitive (ZuiKaga).

Yudachi is the valley girl of the bunch, Mutsuki is the sweet one, Fubuki is the helpful, eager-to-please one, and DesDiv 6 are the most adorable ships I've ever seen.

I'll give a 10/10...here's hoping Season 2 comes soon!
