I'm not a fan of the coding/notation of this site either, so don't worry about it. We can manage!

I think that Shibafu was not the right choice for an American ship. His style reminds me a lot of Miyazaki's work (which I enjoy!), but I do not think it does a good job of portraying the typical structure of Westerners.

For me, I can understand why people are upset, but I can also see the appeal too, she is cute and I really do think Shibafu did a great job in capturing the US Navy and Marine Corps with her, but I think some other artists would have been a bit of a better choice.

...I guess Intrepid reminds me more of a mother/grandmother regardless of her actual age (like Houshou) and less like a powerful warship (Musashi, Nagato or Zuikaku). Then there is the fact that Shibafu's style kind of makes Intrepid look like Hiryuu/Souryuu/Akagi/Kaga are cosplaying instead of being her own unique character.

I am aware that you will probably use Google Translate (or something similar), so I hope my thoughts don't get too messed up.
