Excellent news! Even with all its shortcomings it was a very enjoyable show and I wanted to see more. Maybe they even iron out some of the flaws for the next season! Poi.

Let me see my Abyssal Princesses and I'm set. A story based on a low tier destroyer can't really be taken seriously anyways.

Always enjoyed the designs, but never got around to learning the game or watching the anime. If the anime did this well, guess I'll watch it soon. Maybe today.

That's about as surprising as waking up in the morning with the urge to piss.

Vol.01 alone blew almost every other show out of the water...huehuehue

I enjoyed it, will definitely watch the sequel.

S2 needs more Kongou, Atago, Yamato, and Nagato. Along with the introduction of Bismark, Prinz Eugen, and Hayashimo.

Not really a surprise. Can we have Tatsuta and Tenryuu now? Then the Fusou sisters to balance the happiness and joy in the series. Ooh and bring in Bismarck too :D!

Everyone on 2ch and late-night anime watchers expected this. The pace of the anime is way too slow to be finishing within 1-cour. In fact, people expected this to be 2-cour, before it was announced to be 1 cour at the beginning.

Too bad the anime adaptation was not done very well, especially with how the teitoku was portrayed. Players of the game and readers of the light novels in Japan, just did not want to associate themselves with a teitoku who "must've bought his account, as someone with such strong ships couldn't possibly make such amateur decisions".

People on 2ch identified that the teitoku would be the weak point for sales, and they were obviously right. This amateur portrayal of the teitoku hurt the sales potential of KanColle, as it was basically dead (not many sales boost after subsequent episodes) after the dreaded episode 3. I wouldn't be surprised if Deremas ends up as top of Winter 2015 as a result, because it recently was announced to have an event ticket bundled with the standalone Vol.1. People who bought the G4U and anime bundle will obviously have to double dip to be able to get the application serial code now.

Maybe they will make more of an effort for the sequel, but i'm not holding my hopes up, being a past player of the game. Even if things did improve, I don't see much of an improvement in sales if people don't bother watching the sequel due to their dissatisfaction of the current anime. That's what happened to SAO, as GGO is arguably much better than SAO/ALO from the opinion of someone who has read the light novel.

I love the game, but the anime was one of the worst things I have ever watched. Really does not deserve a S2, at least not with the same horrible production and direction.

Come to me if you need some fucking common sense.

Apparently people in Japan are really pissed off at the news, and are begging Diomedea not to continue or to continue with a new staff.

If they turn all aidoru and khoroshos into blockships, add at least some actual plot instead of "ganbaru" × 500 and "fight da destiny" × 200, as well as some actual characters in place of pois, I'm all for the second season. This could've been good.

Considering budgets and such, I don't mind the use of 3D. They do need to polish it up though so that the framerates don't keep bouncing around.

Mostly this.

I'm not interested in going to the Kankanshiki at Yokohama, but the only reason the first BD has high sales is because of the privilege to apply for a ticket to the Kankanshiki. I mean, they even took the time to make the BD version worse than the TV version by removing Samidare from the mob and mutating character sizes. If the second BD and onwards also has high sales, then it's Tales of Zestiria all over again. It shows that BD sales don't correlate to product quality, all thanks to the AKB48 marketing method.

The Teitoku serves to be the Alisha from Zestiria. It's a major problem, but certainly not the only problem with this anime. Putting aside all of the problems that have shown up in the resulting anime, the root problem lies probably rather high up in the staff hierarchy, beyond the series composition or the directing; probably Kadokawa itself (as seen by this)


However, most game players will continue to watch the second season, even if it kills them. To be honest, if this wasn't KanColle, I would've dropped it at episode 4. We can't criticize the anime without watching it anyway. I'm just hoping that the AKB marketing method doesn't expand to every BD volume, because if BD sales remain high, then the potential for a better anime just decreases.

I'm not saying it's wrong to like an anime that has your favorite character in it, but Kantai Collection (anime) certainly does not go above your average anime quality as a TV anime series.

My two cents as one of the heaviest Japanese KanColle players.
