Guess it was about time for a little depressing Kantai stuff, is this because the translators are salty about the event? xD I know I kind of am.
Nevertheless, it seems like they took very heavy losses in that sortie. We know that Souryuu at least is missing and several others are likely sunk, as well as Akagi was heavily damaged, and Hiryuu is so broken..
I'm still wondering about Nagi wo Matsu. There's a very high chance that the anime will take that route. But we'll see.
So this is an anthology of depressing stories, or the currently translated ones are a few of those? Still thanks to the translators :]
