They are all girls but all got called "guys". lol. Okay, the word in use is 奴-yatsu, which is a third person, non-plural pronoun in Japanese, mostly used between guys and is a pretty masculine pronoun. So commonly, it's translated as "guys". I would prefer using "they" though. Of course, it's not very accurate then.

Yeah it's interesting because Nagatsuki's speech is quite masculine, which is hard to express properly in English. I guess it's true that 'yatsu' does technically translate into 'guys' most of the time, it also helps to make Nagatsuki's speech closer to the tone that it actually is.
I also have girl friends that regularly refer to a group of girls as 'guys', so it's not really unheard of.
'Guys' has become a gender-neutral to 3rd person pronoun where I'm from. You determine of it's actually gendered by context. Using the feminine 'gal' or whatever is only used if referring specifically to the fact that they are women. Soooo... I dunno. I tend to always make yatsu into 'guys', through habit, I guess.
Oh, unless they're actually being rude. Then, you know, 'bastards' or whatever.

I translate them into "guys" too, so we are on the same boat. But I would also use "girls" for group of girls, "you (people)" or "they" for a group of both girls and boys. But yeah, mostly, I also use "guys". Was just saying things as Nagatsuki talks like that.
You say lively, but it's more just loud...Well, there's guys like Kongou who act all freely around as well.I just realised,Here you go, hot milk.They really are.That girl had yet another quarrel with Bismarck today too...Indeed... certainly more than the time when I was assigned here.Other ships were assigned here too.But this base has been lively as of late, hasn't it?Thanks.My elder sisters came, the latest warship and a foreign ship also...They're all guys that we can rely on.
