I don't think you can compare the Anime to the Manga. It seems that they're trying to take it in two completely different directions.<br/><br/>U-2501 may be a "Special" case since it is a Human crewed Submarine, though I think Zondak is a dick for not letting that cute Mental model out.<br/><br/>Since Hiei is the Captain of Musashi's Personal Guard, I can understand her having the Mirror Ring system to protect Musashi.<br/><br/>I think that The Declaration of War is not actually from Yamato, given the opening scene featuring a ship that has similar features to Yamato, and the Girl sinking in the ocean.<br/><br/>I did see the eyebrows, but the way the model was shaped, Musashi's eye sockets looked like they were sunken in. Like she had no eyeballs.
