<p>I want to see who checks into the hotel next episode! lol j/k Yamato isn't that type of hotel ;) </p>

<p>After the lack of battle from the previous episode, this episode battle is pretty good. It's kinda weird that they make Wo as a rival character while Ru and Ri just become mooks, as a fan of Wo I'm happy though. About Shouhou though, does Shouhou supposed to sunk in this battle or they just change it to only heavy damage? I don't mind if there's many character dying as long as they make it prominent or source for other characters' development, Kisaragi dead is pretty sad since it doesn't really give anything new to Mutsuki and they resolved it as a side focus of the episode. </p>

<p>I have a bad feeling about this... This episode is based on the Battle of Coral Sea, if I'm not mistaken. Shoukaku got heavily damaged, while Zuikaku used up all of her planes... And also, Shouhou is possibly KIA, right after Kisaragi. From the historical timeline, the next would be... </p><p>Oh crap, I could see it coming... </p><p>P.S. Kudos to that Gundam reference, Wo-chan. </p>

<p>i got shivers from imagining it.. still it seems that the admiral has realized that there's somekind of code breaking during the MO..  i know that it's unlikely to happen but i kinda wish MI in the anime would have a different result since the admiral realized about the code breaking that happened during the MO.. </p>

Hopefully nothing bad would happen to them, but I'm not so sure given the fulfilled 3-episode theory. </p><p>(semi-spoilers for another anime) </p><p>I'm guessing that, either this show would go full Madoka-style from episode 9, or it would end normally like nothing happened and the whole anime becomes kind of pointless. I don't want any of them dead, but I also wouldn't mind a bittersweet ending. At least Kisaragi and even Shouhou wouldn't die in vain. </p>

Another good episode, with plenty of action and enemies that aren't just target practice! Looks like we finally are going to get a recurring enemy with Flagship Wo, who I expect will return as Flagship-Kai next time. The fact that Ri actually took the killing shot for Wo much like Kaga did Zuikaku (too bad Ri actually sunk from that) really humanizes the Abyssals too. <p>Yamato next episode? I wonder if it'll be slice-of-life again or if there'll be battle. </p> </i></div>
<p>Another battle, mainly based on Operation Ten-Go (given Yamato's single thighhigh, which is a <i>kanmusu'</i>s requirement to partipate in Operation Ten-Go). The commanders might even mention Asashimo without the character appearing in person. And then, when it's sunset, Yamato returns to "Hotel Mode" after entering "Warrior Mode" while the sun was still shining. </p>

<p>Let's remember that a Midway with Kanmusu wouldn't necessarily recreate the American battle. These are Abyssals, not Americans. I don't think they would sink off two of the main characters in the anime for "historical accuracy". </p> </div> <p>It's not as if this is meant to be a historically accurate recreation of WW2 anyway. </p>

Another battle episode!! Yay!! I liked how Zuikaku grew up as a character (especially considering she is in the main fleet) maturing a little and showing a bit of her strength (and not in a fighting meaning, but protecting her sister and giving her best for the mission), but still, not every road is "flat".... get it?? haha. <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> <p class="caption">Isn't this adorable?? I don't know you guys, but I think so!</p> </figcaption></figure> And to be fair something that I like the most of both the game and the anime is the "Chibi Fairies". I don't know their real names but... they're just so cute. I think this is the second time they show up, the first is one that sends Jintsuu in episode 3 or 4, correct me if I'm wrong. Hotel?? What is that??</i></div>
<p>actually it is the 3rd time fairy make appearance, another one is from episode 01, hotel is Yamato reference because she is having luxurious facility like a hotel during WWII </p>

<p>no, I dont think so, even in this episode I can see Kaga death flag by saying "because they are good kanmusu" pretty much what she will say when her death come </p>
