This episode was pretty mediocre. Blake refused to work with Sun to take down the Hydra. *Don't worry Blake. Just stand there while Sun rides a giant grimm and then scorn him when he gets thrown off while you sat on your ass.*

NOTE: Sun's line "My hero." is similiar to Wiess's line to Juane in Volume One when she lands on his back during the initiation arc. RT, don't reuse unfunny jokes.

Blake was teleporting around during the fight. One moment she is circling the grimm and the next she is on the ship. There are other instances and the coreography was pretty chaotic and bad overall.

The Captain should have said "General Quarters" instead of "All hands on Deck". This is basic naval terminology.

The ship's capatain calls the main armament the "Heavy Cannon". Seriously? Do the workers who make this Cannon call it the "Heavy Cannon"? The name is incredibly vague and would never be called this by a Captain. RT could have just as easily called it the "12 inch" or the "Main Armament". This really bothered me during the fight scene.

I really don't like this Captain. Maybe its because he doesn't talk like a Captain should talk or because he has unrealistic/corny dialogue. Either way he made me cringe and I can't wait until he is swallowed whole by Grim.

Sun does little to nothing during this fight. He distracts the sea monster and gives Blake a boost. Wow. Years training to be a huntsmen and thats all you can do? Pathetic. I used to like you.

The whole sea Grimm battle sequence was unneccesary. It would have been more appropriate to tell us during the Giest fight that the Grimm were getting more dangerous and just skip this whole jumpy, teleport savy sequence.

Or better yet, the dying huntsmen could have warned of the Grimm getting more dangerous. It would have been a lot more emotional to hear it from a long time veteran and that scene would have helped delivery exposition because it was utterly useless to the plot.

The things we did see was Sun following Blake, Blake's mission back home, and that she prefers to travel alone. The last thing we already knew from her personality and the end of Volume 3 and the other two plot points could have been covered in a teaser at the end of Remembrance.

The Yang parts were good. I really felt for her when she tried to live her life with only one arm. In one montage, the audience was able to connect with her on a far deeper and emotional level than 3 volumes of one shotting enemies could do. Yang used to be my least favorite of the 4 but now I actually care about where her story goes. Props.
