Synopsis

With the seas under constant threat from the hostile "Abyssal Fleet," a specialized naval base is established to counter them. Rather than standard naval weaponry, however, the base is armed with "Kanmusu"—girls who harbor the spirits of Japanese warships—possessing the ability to don weaponized gear that allows them to harness the powerful souls within themselves. Fubuki, a young Destroyer-type Kanmusu, joins the base as a new recruit; unfortunately for her, despite her inexperience and timid nature, she is assigned to the famous Third Torpedo Squadron and quickly thrust into the heat of battle. When she is rescued from near annihilation, the rookie warship resolves to become as strong as the one who saved her.

The concept of using shipgirls equipped with weapons from the Second World War to combat sea monsters is a novel idea that I personally found interesting. The unique aspect of these shipgirls is that each of them represents a warship model from a different country, which is particularly fascinating to me as a fan of WWII warships, and more specifically, IJN warships. However, it is worth noting that the fate of each ship is not always a desirable one.

The plot of the anime is also noteworthy. I recall an episode that highlights how the Akagi aircraft carrier required a significant amount of oil for fuel, ...

Mixed Feelings
I started watching this series from 9 May 2024 and finished it today. The first season was a serious action typebar . The opening song of this season was not good but the ending song was very beautiful. And many of the scenes were so beautiful that they are unforgettable. I am very surprised to see the bravery of all the girls here. I especially like the work of the rest of the team led by Fubuki San. Not only that, the other two Yuudachi San & Mutsuki who were with Fubuki San also fought very bravely. The BGMs used ...

Kancolle is an anime that seems to be made solely for the game it is based on. If you play(ed) the game or are just here for cute girls then it might be satisfactory but don't expect much more. You will not see naval combat that makes sense but instead see fleets of six ships shooting at planes with their main guns and "instant repair buckets" which are probably a mechanic from the game.

The story itself is okayish. There is somewhat of a storyline but it is interrupted by random events. At some points the anime takes itself very seriously while at other points ...
