Episode list
| No. | Title | Original air date |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | "In a Pinch on Our Maiden Voyage!" "Hatsu Kōkai de Pinchi!" (初航海でピンチ！) | April 9, 2016 |
| Admiring female Marines known as the Blue Mermaids since childhood, Akeno Misaki enrolls at Yokosuka Girls' Marine High School in order to become one herself. After briefly reuniting with her childhood friend Moeka China, who is assigned as captain on the ship Musashi, Akeno is assigned as Captain on the destroyer ship Harekaze, much to the ire of deputy captain Mashiro Munetani. As the ships head off towards nautical lessons, the Harekaze, which is running late due to engine troubles, suddenly comes under attack from the instructor's ship, the Sarushima. After narrowly evading attacks with no response from the instructor, Akeno makes the decision to launch a dummy torpedo at the Sarushima so they can safely retreat. However, this leads to the Sarushima reporting that the Harekaze has mutinied. | ||
| 2 | "In a Pinch During the Pursuit!" "Tsukigekisarete Pinchi!" (追撃されてピンチ!) | April 16, 2016 |
| After looking over the damage done during their encounter with the Sarushima, the Harekaze starts making its way to the nearest port in the hopes of explaining themselves to the authorities. Along the way, however, they come under pursuit from the German battleship Admiral Spee. Faced with unfavorable battle odds, Akeno comes up with the idea to use the ship's engine as a smokescreen in order to get a shot in. During this, a small craft leaving the Admiral Spee gets hit in the crossfire, prompting Akeno to set out and rescue its pilot. After the Harekaze gets to safety with the pilot in tow, Akeno receives a distress call from Moeka, telling her that the Musashi is in danger. | ||
| 3 | "In a Pinch in Pajamas!" "Pajama de Pinchi!" (パジャマでピンチ!) | April 23, 2016 |
| As Akeno becomes worried about Moeka's distress call, the Harekaze intercepts a message reporting the ship's alleged mutiny. Later that night, the ship comes across a submarine from a boys' school and attempts to send a message to them, only to once again come under attack. As the girls try to evade the submarine's torpedoes, the rescued German pilot wakes up and helps the crew fight off the submarine. After managing to escape, the German girl, Wilhelmina Braunschweig Ingelner Friedeburg, informs Akeno that something on the Spee caused her crew to stop obeying orders. As the ship receives orders from Yokosuka's principal to return to school, Wilhemina moves into Mashiro's room. | ||
| 4 | "Maidens in a Pinch!" "Otome no Pinchi!" (乙女のピンチ!) | April 30, 2016 |
| Needing more supplies for the ship, particularly toilet paper, Akeno and a few others make an excursion to a nearby ocean shopping mall. Meanwhile, as Mashiro has worries about being compared to her mother, the principal, a peculiar rodent is picked up on the ship. Just as the girls get their supplies, they are confronted by some Blue Mermaids who capture Akeno. As ships surround the Harekaze, Shima Tateishi suddenly becomes possessed by something and starts shooting at the other ships until Wilhemina stops her. Afterwards, it is revealed the ships are those of the Safety Oversight Office, who believe in the Harekaze's innocence and gives them some supplies. | ||
