first for the story i'll give 9/10
I really like the story, but but unfortunately i really dissapointed with the ending of the anime. the ending of this anime in my opinion is a little hanging. i don't want to give a spoiler here so just watch the anime and you will know what i mean. after all i really love this story
and for the art i'll give 8/10
the graphics of this anime are quite good and the movement of the characters is also quite smooth, but for some reason I feel unsatisfied with the graphics of this anime. but after all i still give 8/10
for the sound i'll give 8/10
I don't know much about the sound arrangement in an anime, but as far as I can see, the sound effects of this anime are quite good and the placement of the sound effects is quite neat.
for the character i'll give 1…

Aight, Haifuri has been an anime I enjoyed watching over and over again. The Anime had all my interests in one, Military (WWII/Mordern) School Uniforms pog and cute girls doing cute things. The story was odd but still funny in my opinion, I enjoyed all the battle scenes cause you rarely see good Naval Battle animes, in fact I really doubt there's multiple animes that is Naval Focused. At most it is there is Aerial Warfare or (Gate) which only includes the JASDF and the JGSDF [Aerial and Ground Forces of Japan Self Defence Force]. In Summary, I would love to see another season or watch it over and over and over again.

I love this anime, I love it.
This is definitely one of my favorite anime of all time. I have rarely found such kind of enjoyment in anime, I enjoy anime, but this kind is very different.
The story is very engaging, looks like the girls mutinied and are being designated as a rogue ship and is being preyed on by multiple ships attempting to neutralize the "threat" they possess, this was some real hype stuff, dunno, I just felt it. It was really fun with the story, but while I found the infection part pretty corny, I still did enjoy it a lot, being a turning point for the story, it was very fun!
Art, ok, I get it. The artstyle of these girls are very, very cute. I know that's the point of the anime but it's really adorable. The animation is also top tier, CG girls were used in the anime,…

I swear 2 days ago the rating of this anime was 7.66 and I know it because I was comparing it to Girls & Panzer's rating which was 7.63 so I was thinking something like "ooh this anime is slightly better than Girls & Panzer huh". The next day I checked it again and it was 7.33. Anyways, since this anime is now underrated, I will need to release my feelings that are about to burst here as this is the most thrilling and intense anime I've ever seen in my life.
Story: 9/10:
The story overall is very thrilling and exciting, I was overwhelmed by every episode including the filler episodes as well, the backstory behind the anime is also well explained and I like how they chose to use a realistic method to infect the crew in the ship instead of using supernatural method also makes the show feel…

I largely knew what I was getting into when I watched this and I knew it wasn't going to be anything great, but a friend wanted to try it. It was pretty much exactly what I expected it to be, and it's probably exactly what you expect it to be as well. So lets get into this.
Story: Whatever, the plot is stupid, who cares, it just serves as a vehicle for having the ship and crew do things. There are many major plot conveniences that don't really make sense, a number of threads and implications that go nowhere and ultimately the plot is kinda silly and not well explained. But we know who's going to win from the start anyway. The plot does it's job just about, it's not so horrendous as to particularly offend me but it doesn't really stand up to much scrutiny and it's ultimately not that inter…

After trying to find a military themed anime that I want to enjoy, I can vouch that Haifuri is my one and only prefrence. Sure the plot has flaws here and there but no matter how flaw it was, I still loved it for various reasons.
Story:
Remember folks! This is not a story about girls having naval tournament like senshadou in Girls und Panzer, nor its a Kancolle "bizzarre" animation sequence anime like one person thought it was. This is a story of students aiming to become Blue Mermaid, maintaining the safety of the nation's territory from invasion and other unwanted incidents. A certain dialogue in an episode hinted they were trained since middle school, or perhaps even before that.
So it means that what the girls are doing are for their future professional occupation and not for play…

Objectitly, Haifuri is not worthy of a 9. In no way.
The animation is not especially good, so is the music and backstory is just plain stupid, it did feel like the dumbest excuse imaginable to put schoolgirls on warships, it felt like Girls und panzer but even more poorly executed.
However this anime is more than the sum of its parts, I really enjoyed it like I enjoy very few animes.
I won’t spoil the story but characters do face high stakes like death, some bits are kind dark, it is question of treason, mutiny.
Yet despite that the anime go from serious to plainly stupid. “We face serious charges for mutiny, we may die because people are after us, oh yeah and now we are out of toilet paper, so let’s risk our life to get some” (no kidding, seriously it is part of an episode)
However, desp…

I was surprised how enjoyable this series was to watch. I had somewhat low expectations, but I feel the show never dropped too far below being at least somewhat entertaining.
The story on the whole is interesting, though it seemed at first as though it was going to be far more interesting than it ended up being. In the interest of not spoiling anything, I'll just say the show develops a premise that ensures that none of the characters can be considered bad guys, and it leads to an almost too tidy ending for my taste. Though the explanation for this is made somewhat interesting and it's easy to understand thankfully, I don't know, just not what I was expecting. Themes of leadership and risk run throughout, and the tension is felt, but there could have most definitely been more.

I haven't had enjoyment out of a show like this for awhile.
I was first introduced to this anime by playing World of Warships when they partnered with this anime and released two ships into the game. I eventually went and bought the Harekaze ship in game ( I believe in October) This is were it piqued my interest.
It's kind of weird. You come into this expecting this to just be a silly cheerful show about anime school girls on ships. But within the first 2 episodes that expectation is completely destroyed.
There is some things that don't make sense. Such as why would anyone put High School kids in control of ships or why they would give a new student control of the Musashi the most powerful ship in the fleet.
Things like this you can easily overlook. The show is good at keeping your at…

Haifuri remind me a little of Kancole in more realistic setting. And this one is surprisingly good in many ways. If you expect this one will be shallow happy go lucky high school girls show, you'll got slap on your face when you watch it. And without too much BS or fan service, the story will progress immediately starting from episode 1 and 2.
The plot itself is quite good, the conflicts are intriguing enough too keep me interested. The gap between the cuteness and dire situations feels just right. You'll find quite amusing ship crews here, and each with their unique characteristics. For me, all of them are likeable, and the entire crew get their screen time, some even showing character development, though it is not much. Of course some people will complain about how useless the adults he…

High School Fleet, or Haifuri, may be perceived as a cute moe anime at first glance. Although retaining some aspects of a CGDCT anime, such as when the girls have some down time, the show creates a serious, fast moving environment that is a lot more serious than, say, Kantai Collection, for example. Also having a much, much larger variety of crew compared to Arpeggio of Blue Steel, the cast in Haifuri really feels like a real ship's crew. With characters ranging from logistics to artillery officers to the captain herself, the characters manning the ship take their job seriously, as would anyone in a life or death situation. The art style is refreshing too, as the characters were designed by Atto, the creator of the Slice of Life Non Non Biyori. The OST is great, featuring an amazingly catc…

High School Fleet is an anime that when watch really makes me feel refresh. This is one of the first military anime I've ever watch and I'd say that it was a pretty good introduction to the genre. The anime has fair character development for the main ones at least (keep in mind that the cast is huge). But what this anime really exceeds at is giving the me the thrills. As far as I can remember, there was only one episode where things went kind of stale, the rest were well paced and will ensure you excitement. This anime is probably the epitome of what I called "an anime that is fun to watch." If you looking for a quick fun time (I ensure you that you will binge watch this) give this anime a shot.

I really love this anime; why? because it's very unique, infact; I have never, ever seen a battleship based anime, props to them for making it unique!
Story: 8- Now I won't get on this one too hard, but it's kind of choppy, time stamps, dates, you know, but I like how *spoilers ahead* Sorry :/ They get into battles a lot, now they somehow just kind of regain their lost foods, weapons, and ya know; stuff that went missing on the ship before, but it's a good overall story, the mutiny, the battles, it's good, I like it!
Art: 9- I enjoyed the ships, the water, the characters, everything! very smooth animation and detail to small things, thats why I like it!
Sound: 10- I can't complain, really well done sound with explosions, characters; except they all sound alike basically!
Character; 9 E…

I started watching this series for the fine ladies
I ended up watching it for the plot after a few episodes
Story: 8/10
To be honest, I thought that Haifuri is an anime similar to Gochiusa or K-on (CGDCT), but i was heavily mistaken. I never expected a very good plot for the anime at all.
Art: 9/10
The art is good in general (especially well done on character design, but i'm putting these points to characters), but even if it's cute and fluffy, it doesn't exactly fit so well with the intense battles and it makes the fighting a bit less exciting (don't get distracted by the lolis) Sound: 7/10
The opening is very catchy (HIBIKE!) as well as a good ending.- not much to be said here
Character: 10/10

There're a lot of lo- characters in Haifuri. All the characters have their unique po…

Maybe this is late. But, i want start reviewing when my entry up to 150 animes. And this is one of my masterpiece scored anime in my list
Intro :
Haifuri a.k.a High School Fleet... A School, Military, Action. FYI, this anime is my first military anime that makes me hyped about military. And of course, Moe material !.... Seems like Kancolle ? You can say it... But this is 10x greater than Kancolle.
Misaki Akeno (Favorites Character, and waifu !! >_<) enrolled to Yokosuka High School. One of naval school that makes their students to be a Blue Mermaid. And of course her osananajimi (Chilhood Friend) China Moeka enrolled too. But, they are in the different warship. This because their test score. Akeno is going to Harekaze. A Destroyer Type warship. And Moeka in to Musashi. Battleship Type Ya…

Kind of surprised by all the favourable reviews on this....
Ok first off I love ships, lolis and moe so when I initially saw this I was delighted thinking it would be girls und panzer meets Kancolle! But god was it was far from it and a chore to finish....
Basically I loved the ships, and the character designs but the characters themselves were all insanely annoying and the plot was just beyond stupid and so so frustrating at times. I would personally avoid and I'm going to go into some more detail on why.
BEWARE SPOILERS!!

Ok so the story goes that lolis arrive at this school where they are to be trained as Blue Mermaids, Japan's naval defence force. In an alternate modern timeline much of Japan…

Haifuri, one of the WORST promoted anime of all time. Okay that might be exaggerating, but not a lot of promotion is of this anime I have to say this season and to be absolutely frank (not Dave, we don’t talk about Dave), it was infuriating. Why? Because it’s completely the opposite to what people think it is and it was in my opinion absolutely fantastic.
Okay, short rant over, let’s get down to it since I’ve been itching to write a review but I wanted to finish the anime first and now that’s happened let’s get going with the review.
Story: 8
Unlike some people’s first impression of “this anime is a slice of life, loli anime with no plot (in both senses) at all”, Haifuri actually has an over arcing plot and story and it is introduced to the audience in the most dramatic way possible in t…

Story: 3/10
The story was all over the place. I thought it was going to be a typical schoolgirl anime with ships and they would go on missions, but then they have to fight a virus?? It felt like they were making it up as the story progressed and they were trying to drag it out.
Art: 9/10
I loved the art. It was consistent and the ocean looked very realistic, which was a nice touch. I also liked the designs of the ships, although some of them looked very similar.
Sound: 6/10
I liked the opening song and the battle music, but that was it.
Character: 3/10
Too many characters. I felt like they tried to focus on too many at once. I didn't like Misaki as a main character. She was too indecisive and only cared about saving Moeka. I'll give her a pass, though because it didn't make sense how the s…

All hands on deck!!!
High School Fleet or Haifuri (which will be what LA will be calling it from now on) is another "girls doing cute things" this Spring 2016 however it's not focusing on misfortune, bread or motorbikes, but naval warfare a la Girls und Panzer.
In terms of characters, considering the huge cast, you'd think that the development to these girls are minimal at best and sure that is true as the majority of the characters gets something of a "running gag trait" however considering the screentime and teamwork needed in naval warfare, their screentime is plentiful. The majority of the character focus goes to the captain, Akeno Misaki voiced by Shiina Natsukawa, the vice captain with bad luck Mashiro Munetani voiced by Lynn, the German stowaway Wilhelmina Friedeburg voiced by Hir…

You know, if there’s one title from the top of my head with a misleading promo poster, then High Fleet Girls would be the first title this year to be named. Initially, the series was promoted under the title ‘Hai-furi’ before the revelation that it’s more than just about “cute girls doing cute things”. Much, much more.
Before starting the show, I think it’s also important to understand the background and setting of the story. It takes place in an alternate modern world although events from 100 years ago (shift in tectonic plates) has changed much of Japan. The country attempts to preserve territories and establish costal colonies and cities. The primary focus of the story is about the Blue Mermaids, a group that is tasked to keep the sea safe and is also apparently every female student’s…
