Well it was fairly obvious that those who sunk became Abbysals though.

Some likeable characters, average action, nice ending. Fubuki's theme (ending song) is cool. But overall I felt something was missing. Give it a respectable 6/10 and will watch 2nd season.

The show wasn't that bad, but it feels like they really rushed the last episode... And I think that the theory about Abyssals being sunk Fleet Girls might be accurate.

This episode was full of shipping ships! :D Akagi x Kana, Mutsu x Nagato, Kitakami x Ooi

So the hint was kinda clear...Abyssals are all the ships that sunk? 7/10

OMG! Butthurts everywhere!

I was hoping it'll be better, but this was okay. I really love Ooi coming to rescue Kitakami. Kicking that abyssal and throwing it to the air was badass.



I am not a fan of this obsessive yuri girls, but going as far to break the rules a bit (kicking, German Surplex that enemy ship) just for Kitkami.. Made me smile. xD I think it was a surprise because I don't play the game, but I see this and the anime and.. Yea.

Otherwise I see so much butthurt. I know this anime caters the fans of the game or those who are lazy to even play it (I was waiting till a bright future where there's a English-translated server).

It was a fun ride to see plain-jane Fubuki go as far from a baby newbie ship to a a non-despair Meduka.

BUT WHY DID THEY SHOW KISARAGI'S PIN




I was bugged by this... Like she did not her get full "rest" because of these enemy ships.


Skimming through and there.... I enjoyed it. Not that I'm here for something epic.. But just something to keep me distracted and entertained.

I'll be waiting for S2...

Great episode!

I actually enjoyed it! I think a lot of people were expecting to be like Zeta Gundam or darker shows just because Kisaragi died so early in the show.

Also what happened to Akagi never giving up? It seems the moment the same scene happened from the past, she seems to have given up so easily until Fubuki saved her.

I'm glad Yamato and others are in the game!!! Finally been meaning to see more of Yamato tbh!

For once Ooi actually became useful in this series.

BURNING LOVE!!!!!!!

Wow even Nagato and Mutsu showed up in the actual battle!! Nagato looks really strong and fast. While Yamato has all the fire power she wants, Nagato is definitely the fastest and probably bigger boobs as well XD

Didn't realize Abyssal actually talked in this show! Sakakibara, Yoshiko is her voice as well!

I freaking knew Taihou is voiced by Mamiko Noto :)

Seems the Admiral was alive after all. Wonder why he'd disappeared out of nowhere? So the plan was just to confuse the enemy since they might be listening to the radio conversation and instead bring everyone out to battle?

I wonder what was the Abyssal trying to say about "give it bacK?" I also didn't get the hair clip appearing at the end.

Could it be Kisaragi became an abyssal or something?

Looks like we'll be getting S2 after all!! Screw the haters, i want more Kantai action!!

I hope the next season, we do get more vessels being sunk(as much as i hate to see that) as well as more darker episodes, and even episodes from Abyssal's perspective.

Also more Atago screen time please!! She's my favorite character so please more of her!!!

Kongou is voiced by the same person, but i really want more Atago please!



I'm also surprise Shimakaze didn't do much in this show. I always thought she was one of the for front of the series.

I'm sure it would be interesting what they're perspective is and why they are doing this.

Good stuff! I give this around 7-8, but i enjoy the final battle so i would give this an 8/10.

There are a million things I could say (god knows I have), but I'll leave the talking to someone else this time.
I can't say this was the best anime I've ever seen, but I won't let anyone say it was the worst.
Until next time then.

Well, since it was a game adaptation, it's pretty much destined to be an average fanservice at best...and that's what it turned out to be. So I'm pretty okay with it. 7/10.

Oh man this so much. Why were people expecting something else from a clearly moe-based show? Were they hoping for a Madoka or something? That show was an exception, not the norm.

Fubuki saves Akagi, Yamato appears, Nagato appears, and Taihou appears.
As for Kisaragi, that's a different story. (T_T)

I am so going to miss the OP and the ED.
I enjoyed this season and Season 2 or whatever the sequel is hopefully will be better. (^_^)

I can't believe Ayane Sakura can/voiced Nagato, Mutsu, Kuma, Tama, Sendai, Jintsū, Naka and Shimakaze!!!


For every Nagato x Mutsu moment,she goes like "Okay I'm shipping myself with myself :'D its atashi x ore!"

She really has amazing range. I couldn't believe she was voicing both Nagato and Mutsu.

And well with the anime, can't really say I'm disappointed because I enjoyed the series pretty much despite the lack of AkaKaga.

The show was EH over all.
Did pull at the emotions with all the ships gathering for a massive assault. At the end. But like who the hell were most of those ships?! Finally got to see Yamato in action too.
But still 7/10 for an EH anime that had its good moments but a super weak story and characters.
But the ED song was cool as hell.

Whew, the butthurt is strong in here. Like said many times before, I came for shipfus and I got shipfus.

My only real complaint about the episode was, where the hell is the bomb that abyssal dropped from the previous episode? Why is it conveniently gone in this episode when Fubuki comes and saves the day? That was some bullshit. That really led us on. Kind of a predictable ending though.

The show overall was decent. It had a better story than I thought it was going to, and hell it was even more dramatic and intense then I thought it would ever be. The slice of life stuff was alright.

Art and animation were great and high quality. Watching this was always a visual delight.

Only downsides is that the story could've been a lot better, we needed a better main character, and this show was riddled with yuri undertone garbage. We need a strong male lead to corral these women.

All in all, better than I expected. 7/10. I'll be looking forward to the second season.

You need to have really bad standards if this is "worst show of the year" material for you.

It was a 4/10 for me which is good as opposed to the various LN adpatations that aired this season. They are ALL horrible. Kancolle is good compared to them.

Arguably the worst episode of the whole series though. 6 and 7 master race.

LOL @ Japanese Revisionist history!

Cuz America are WINNERS!

Seriously though, it was a cute anime and the Navy version of Strike Witches, but honestly, I'm disappointed that by far the most popular character (Shimakaze) was given such a low key role.

And if the story is gonna be like this, why not just go FULL Strike witches and make it more about slice of life than PRETENDING your plot makes sense?

The cute parts/likeable characters are the high points of this anime.....the story is definitely the low.

Episode that throws in a really silly the potential that could express.
Narratively sucitato has no interest, too obvious outcome.
The few oddities that were seen during the story, were not enough to hold all the scontatezza seen in this episode.
Drawings with ups and downs, I'm curious to see what will be based on the upcoming season.
Overall, the TV series, with this final loses some charm; so my vote is 6/10!

Because many people don't vote at all until the series is over. Even if they didn't like the last episode, they might still have liked the anime as a whole enough to give a decent/good score.

Not a bad episode, and it ends about like I expected. Happiness, no death, etc. It felt odd to have Taihou thrown in there though. I like her, but she seems very deus ex machina in this series. The yuri was so strong in this one. I'm not entirely sure that Mutsu and Nagato didn't get married there at the end. The Ooi and Kitakami scene was probably one of my high lights of the series.

All in all this series was about as accurate to the game as you could get. But it had more potential than what he knew to do with. The episode structure is what pulled this down. If they had spent more time developing the characters and the like it would have been a lot more enjoyable.

I give it a 7/10 because I did still enjoy the majority of it.

wohohow! even with almost all of the naval fleet girls on the scene, it feels like everything was on despair, good thing armored carrier Taihou arrived and as usual Fubuki noticed the weakness of the Abyssal fleet.
And I thought almost all of the naval fleet girls were present but no Shimakaze???!?
Hyped for S2!!!

Kinda typical anime for me. Its true that the final episode has so much potential to show the character's individual skills rather thant focusing on the MC. They could have shown for example maybe a combo by Kitakami and Ooi, or the speed that Shimakaze always boast. What i disliked was the cliff hanger about Kisaragi's hair clip or something and what the abyssal wants back.

Overall it was a typical anime for me, not that great, not that horrible. They did missed some things and messed some things up, but it is pretty normal in animes. Never played the game, so its all from my perspective about the anime.

6/10 overall

The fleet girls turning into abyssals does not really explain anything. The abyssals had to come from somewhere in the first place. Unless fleet girls that hit a random rock or get sunk by a storm also turn into abyssals. Not that the actual identifiy of the enemy mattered that much.

Anyways, overall it was okay. Could have been better. Fills the spot when there is no Strike Witches (though i still have to watch Operation Victory Arrow), but can't really compete.

couple questions:

what was the meaning of kiseragi's hair clip floating in the water at the end? Im starting to think sunken ships turn into enemy carriers.

who the fuk is commander? why wont they show him/here? Is he shown in the game?

fubiki was in no way needed for this fight, she didn't really do anything besides save akagi and suggest killing the enemy carriers before queen. If that was her whole reason for being there then bummer, totally thought she would get some super power up and go fuk shit up. =(


I liked this show though, kept my attention and never got bored.

Not great/good/decent, I just find it okay. Wouldn't mind watching it again actually. I'd also like to know where those Abyssals came from because it actually scared the shit out of me when one of them started talking.
Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit.

There are three things that is wrong with the last episode:

- The action felt rushed, it felt forced and didn't even feel too natural
- Taihou, she should've been introduced in earlier episodes, felt like bad timing really.
- TAKAO?? WHERE'S MY TAKAO??? Well, at least Atago's there, BUT TAKAO SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE TOO :(

Still, the whole series was pretty enjoyable, save for the last episode. Looking forward to season 2.

Caught a glimpse of the flower that kisaragi wore (I think) floating to the surface. Are they gonna bring her back? Really thought she'd pop in at the last minute of the show to smile and fade to white because of that.

Well I enjoyed it, but I started watching it only expecting some cute kanmusu doing whatever. I hoped for a good end art (maybe showing who will be in the sequel), but I guess they just end with Fubuki. Lots of focus on Fubuki, but at least everybody got a pretty fair share of screen time (except Taihou lol that's too bad).

Ooi and Nagato's melee fighting was the best action.

Looking forward to S2 and more kanmusu.
