while i did thoroughly enjoy it this chapter required a bit of work on my part to get sorted out character/series origin wise. i hadnt finished watching the Kancolle anime and had never heard of Arpeggio so at Kongo's introduction i had to pause and find/watch Arpeggio 'cause that was not the Kongo i knew(loved how Kongo of Kantai cursed in english) but after having watched Arpeggio some things became pretty hard to fit. i understand the idea of using the character dialogue from the Kancolle game, great timesaver in some ways and helps easily establish, for those in the know, who is who and what their persona is like however many of the instances are so completely out of context if the fusion of Kancolle and Arpeggio is leaning more towards the Fog than the Kantai thatm, for me at least, i was brought to a complete halt trying to parse why certain dialogue would be used in scenes X, Y and Z when at that point human and fog are still technically in conflict.

it is probably just me but i dont see how certain lines work prior to the 'assuming command' scene.
