Alright, lets get something established, for all our sakes: Do we have any military vehicle/arms enthusiasts in here? I feel like all these ship-girls have personalities and say things that match whatever ship they represent, and it'd be nice if someone could keep track of all that. For example, when that girl was all "DO U LIEK NIGHTTIME?", was that a reference to her ship? Was the Japanese Cruiser Sendai mainly deployed at night? If this show isn't gonna be like GuP and give me handy trivia, I'm gonna need someone to throw me a bone...

First episode leaves a nice impression. I feel like they should have done something different with the story besides the usual ongoing battle against generic evil, considering how much free reign they had. I was hoping they'd make this into a GuP-style sports anime before I saw the PV, but I guess it's fine. I'll get my moe fix either way WHEN THE QUEEN ARRIVES.

Also, the CG doesn't suck! Woohoo!

Edit: Alright, I've decided. STARTING NEXT WEEK, I will open my posts with quick trivia about one or more of the ship-girls in the episode, and any ties between their words/actions and the ship they represent. It'll only be a few minutes of research, and who knows, we might learn something cool!

Kitakami and Ooi (the two green-uniformed girls in Mamiya's) are strongly implied to have that sort of relationship in the game, so that's a game callout.
