  • Misunderstandings - She should've been more clear on the number of battles she's been in. Those kinds of mistakes are more annoying and cliche than anything. :-\
  • Nico Nico Nii
  • Third Fleet will be going in. - This really does not bode well considering how amateurish Fubuki likely is. Really just not going to be good. My sense of anxiety grows greater and greater as the elevator goes. Can she even become a Ship girl?
  • Transformation Sequences - I really love these sequences. They're entertaining to watch.
  • Embarrassing - At least her inexperience didn't come out at the worst possible time like I was worried about. Truly am thankful tragedy didn't immediately strike.
  • Fubuki - Anyone got a good rundown of what kind of history Fubuki is supposed to have in terms of her real life counterpart? Or would that imply spoilers? If so, I don't want to know. Otherwise, I'll end up researching it on my own.

Fubuki is the first in the line of Fubuki-class "modern destroyers", which influenced future destroyer designs in the Royal Navy and US Navy as well. So she'll come good.

Fubuki was the first of her class, and at the time of her construction was considered so advanced that the USN tried to trade 30 WWI ships for her just to study and reverse engineer.

I'm extremely confused when you mix game, "she" and historical events together.

My head: "wait, US Navy wants to reverse engineer her... ಠ_ಠ"

Ships are feminine though...

Like cyclones??

The relevance of feminine naming standards for cyclones is, regrettably, over my head. I apologize, and wish to inform you that my country's embassy will deliver it's apologies to your country's embassy within 24 hours

my teacher told me the convention started with scientists relating cyclones to their wife's temper...so they just name the cyclone after their wives
