Muhahahaha...Guys, I've more anime review on your way. I want to make this review early because I want to be the 1st one to do the review. Well, not really la, maybe I won't be the first to do that. OK, let's start!!!! I'm excited!!!!

Using this picture again...XD



WARNING:-
SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!!



P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You have been warned.
The series features Fubuki as the main character, with the storyline based on her point of view. Well, let me tell you that...never mind...OK, let's move on.

Fubuki, our main character

The story starts with the world where humanity faces the threat of the abyssal fleet which has taken over the seas. The abyssal fleet looks like an alien or sort of monstrous life form. The special human girls who don outfits that have weapons and possess the spirit of historical naval vessels(which are mostly sunken naval vessels from World War 2, well, maybe not all sunken...I'm not sure. I don't spend all of my time looking up on the internet for World War 2 naval vessel, OK?), who is known as Kanmusu (艦娘) are the only ones capable of countering them. Well, the Kanmusu is also sometimes translated as Fleet Girls as all of them are girls and like a fleet of the naval fleet to counter the evil abyssal fleet. Well, they live together at a naval base, where they spend their everyday lives as they train for battle.

The abyssal fleet

OK, to the main story, Fubuki arrives at the naval base, where she meets other girls that she will eventually fight alongside. Despite lacking adequate combat training, she is recommended into the Third Torpedo Squadron by the admiral, and quickly finds herself sorted into battle to liberate the sea surrounding the naval base. Upon being rescued by Akagi in a dangerous situation and having a conversation with the admiral himself, Fubuki strives to do her best to train, with the hopes of eventually being able to fight alongside Akagi.

A sleepy Fubuki...

OK, after her super hard training session, she got to go on a mission with her squadron and with other squadrons. The mission is about taking down the abyssal fleet in W Island during a night-time ambush. Before she went in, she was nervous...cut the long story short, she calmed down, successfully survived the enemy's ambush with the help of another squadron who was on the same mission as them... and the help of another squadron who just came back from an expedition(not mentioned) and, and, and well, failed the mission(because they were meant to ambush the enemies).

Yudachi is crying...aww... don't cry

Back from mission...from left: Yuudachi, Sendai, Fubuki, Mutsuki, Naka & Jintsuu

Well, Our MC's best friend, Mutsuki, who is very fond of Kisaragi, remains in denial about her death, continuing to wait at the docks for her return. Sad eh? Kisaragi sunk in the operation where the mission to take on the W Island failed tactically.

Waiting for someone who will not come back...

While our dear MC is wondering how to go about helping her, she, along with destroyer Shimakaze, are assigned on a mission with the four Kongō sisters; Kongou, Hiei, Haruna, and Kirishima, to battle against the abyssal fleet in rainy conditions.

Kongou started hugging Fubuki and Shimakaze

Another scene of it

On the day of the mission, Fubuki and the others have to find a way to bring out Shimakaze, as she is not easy to be found. After trying to lure her out by having a concert, then trying to use Kitakami and Ooi and then placing a trap(which is seriously stupid and useless), they eventually "accidentally" lured Shimazake in by a tea party.

A concert by the Kongou sisters to lure Shimakaze out

The concert led to this girl, Naka-chan desu!!!...to challenge Kongou

Seriously, Kirishima? If you've watched this scene, you'll know what I'm talking about

Hiei got caught in Haruna's trap that is meant for Shimakaze...seriously?

After all the madness, Shimakaze is lured by the Kongou sister's food...OK...

During the mission, Fubuki's concerns over Mutsuki starts to overwhelm her, but Kongō saves her and calms her down before finishing off the enemy fleet. Upon returning home, Fubuki embraces Mutsuki, holding her tightly until she lets out all of her emotions over Kisaragi and finally accepts the loss.

Both of them cried together

Well, the admiral suddenly announces the reorganisation of the fleets, so Fubuki and the rest of the Third Torpedo Squadron spend their last night together to continue their spirit in whatever fleet they end up in.

The announcement of the reorganisation. The person in the middle is Nagato.

Third Torpedo Squadron spending their last night together...

Fubuki ends up in the Fifth Mobile Fleet along with Kongō, Kitakami, Ōi, Kaga, and Zuikaku. She quickly discovered that all of the members don't get along with each other, especially Zuikaku and Kaga as they are from different Carrier Groups. As Fubuki laments her experience, she learns from Akagi that the splits were made to prepare the girls for a counterattack mission against the Abyssal.

Fubuki complaining about her team...

Meeting with Akagi senpai...

With the unit arguing over who should be the flagship, the girls take turns being the flagship, each one turning out to be a failure due to their own selfishness. Just as Zuikaku contemplates asking the admiral to reassign the groups, the unit is sorted into a battle against the Abyssal, with Fubuki calmly giving out orders before acting as a decoy, allowing the unit to defeat the enemy. Impressed by her ability to take command, the unit unanimously nominates Fubuki to be the flagship and start to get along with each other better.

Failed attempt...

Fubuki becoming the flagship

Well, there is a short break off the abyssal fleet, and well, check out what was it for yourself. Here are some screenshots of it. Let me tell you...it's quite light-hearted, cute and funny.

Something serious...huh...

Akatsuki dragging heavy stuff...not lady-like?

She comparing lady-like to an elephant?

Ah...

OK...Akatsuki...

From front: Inazuma, Ikazuchi, Hibiki

Ikazuchi's dream to be a flagship

OK...wow, "food poisoning"...lol...

Seriously...Fubuki?

Shoukaku...this question...is unanswerable...

OK...Shimakaze quite ate something that she's not supposed to eat.

Bad...

The battle for the naval base's fate is HERE!!!

Success!!!

The trophy...

OK, let's move on...I'll cut short the review as the screenshots are taking up a lot of space. OK, we have events surrounding a mission of Fubuki's fleet, the Yamato Kanmusu, and the attack on the naval base...before the FINAL BATTLE...You can check that out yourselves.

Grabs a close victory after a bit of hardship...

Yamato!

Yuudachi Kai-Ni showdown!!!

Sad Mutsuki runs off in pain...

Fubuki Kai-Ni...uh...not much changes?

Maybe the change is Fubuki eats more...or less more?

OK! The main battle starts from here onwards...The naval base was attacked by the abyssal fleet after the admiral asks Fubuki to come back(Well, the details of the story: she went to the island where Yamato is placed and spends some time there). OK, after the attack, they found out that the admiral went missing. So well, the battle against the bad guys is on the way...the result is a SUPER hard earn victory. Well, a seriously hard one...Yes, the hardest earned victory in the anime.

Akagi...almost sunk...

Finally, VICTORY!!!

Yuudachi joins in with Mutsuki and Fubuki for a hugging session.

Welcoming the admiral's homecoming

Well, you want some more screenshots, you'll have to get yourselves as my post here is getting to the point where it's too long. You can get them via the internet or get the anime and take a screenshot of it! (Well, you just have to press the print screen button and paste it inside the program named Paint...after that, you can do what you like and save it.)

Fixing the naval base...

Oh, I find out 1 thing...I didn't give points to the anime reviews in the past. Well, I won't give points(because well, giving points needs me to analyse aspects of the anime, which I don't want as I want you to judge it by yourselves) but I will give you a "Yes, go ahead and watch! It's cute, funny and exciting." OK, if there is an episode of this anime that you need my options about it, ask me by posting a comment and I will answer u. OK? See ya people, have a nice day! God bless you!
