Overall, the series was as expected, with the only real disappointment being the lazy writing. This is also why this "finale" was so lackluster. There are simply numerous ways this could have been done far better, but those all required more effort than the staff appeared interested in putting forth.
This episode felt really off with things like the hand-to-hand fighting (isn't that essentially ramming? Shouldn't they be taking damage from that?). And for the love of god, if they're going to sound like that, let's, um, not hear Abyssals talking again. Or making any kind of vocal sounds. Ever.

Still, it's not bad for what it was intended to be. At least I got my eye candy.

I honestly don't really know what to say about this...

I had half of my head believing that some part of history would remain, but nope lol.
Considering no ship was sunk this battle, congrats to teitoku for only losing one ship throughout the series!
BUT WHY DID THEY SHOW KISARAGI'S PIN


Awesome that Taihou showed up, but it got super weird when everyone else showed up and was like ALL OUT ATTACK!!!

Series was great overall, some parts were lame in their aspects, but I enjoyed most of the references.(2nd season hurray)

I knew the anime was going to be vapid, insubstantial fanservice the moment it was announced, and so I set my expectations very low. The anime managed to far exceed my expectations though, being far, far worse than I ever even feared to imagine. I've been playing the game from nearly the beginning and it's pretty disgusting to see it mangled so badly in this adaptation.

3/10, and I'm being generous as a fan.

Come to me if you need some fucking common sense.

Would have expected Diomedea to actually pull some edgy twist and sank them all.
Oh well, at least Souryuu lives, that's all what matters to me.

Overall it was okay, although the sequel might as well be just be a slice of life series featuring cute shipgirls doing cute things.

ITT: Salt.

Never understood why some people come into this show expecting quality plot, and rate it down because of it. That's like watching Psycho Pass and giving it a 2/10 because it had no comedy.

Anyways this show was quite enjoyable despite its noticeable flaws, namely the stark changes in atmosphere that destroys the mood build-up right before it. This is especially evident in ep 4 with mostly comedy right after Kisaragi happened, and the KitaOoi scene in this episode. The curry episode was also very out of place imo, albeit it was really entertaining.

Then again, this episode was probably one of the worst episode in this show. Personally, the moment Fubuki appeared all tension from the previous episode was lost. The tension built up again, only to be destroyed by the reinforcements coming in, and it felt like the episode might as well be 8 minutes long and just show them killing off the airway princess once instead of repeating that 3 times. How they defeated the Wo-class and her escorts were so rushed that might as well not have happened too.

All in all, this show was quite entertaining although I can see why some may dislike it because some people watch anime for the plot, not for moe. Personally, I heard that this show was about 'Moe ships doing moe things' and I got exactly that, so I'm pretty satisfied. Overall : 6.5/10 enjoyable, could have been better.

I hope the directors will learn from the criticism and produce a better season 2. I'm looking forward to it.

Yup, so Fubuki did come and save Akagi and rest at the right time. This episode was very anticlimactic no matter what they did with Airfield Princess. And what's with all the enemy destroyers? Nothing else but little creeps?

At least the anime did not forget Kisaragi's death. Here's hoping 2nd season would be less messy than this season.

The series as a whole was just a mess in plot and atmosphere. You could tell the producers didn't really know what they wanted it to be exactly but I don't care about any of that. I thoroughly enjoyed this train wreck and can't wait for more Taihou in the sequel. 8/10 for me.

Maybe because its anime and people watch anime regardless. Also maybe if you didn't have shit taste, you would be mad too. KanColle has a piss more narrative that did not stay consistent whatsoever. For the majority of the series, it didn't even know what it wanted to be.


So salty. :3

So much hate for the anime. I, for one, came in expecting shipfus, and shipfus I got. I wasn't aware you were supposed to expect more from this show.

My thoughts exactly, who in their fucking right mind though to expect Code Geass or Madoka from this anyway? You've got to be smoking something pretty bad if you though KanColle was gonna be an epic anime after the third episode hahahahahaha.

It was better than Code Geass and Madoka though ;)
Simply because it knew how "bad" it was

Reason why the show is getting a season 2 is because the playerbase of the TTKs supported it. this anime as many have said is aimed at those who are playing the game. so stop wasting your time bitching about something which isn't for you in the first place.

there are almost around 3 mil players now playing kancolle and its probably the most played browser game in japan right now

There is actually something I didn't really get. So in the end of episode 11 we *see* one of the fighters drop the bomb on Akagi. And in the beginning of episode 12 said fighter gets shot down *before* it drops the bomb? Did I miss something?

I dunno about this episode. Yeah, I'm happy that nobody else sunk, but still, hm. I don't get the relation between carriers and the airfield regeneration ability...

Overall I liked the series. Still like Ars Nova a bit more though.

as an avid TTK of the game, there were some things that really annoyed me and that were quite likely impossible in the game... (Fubuki and Kongou sinking the aircraft carrier a deux which was a Kai, meaning remodeled, which makes it kind of, well tough etc.)
Also, I'm not really a fan of episodes where shit hits the fan, somebody gives a yelling prep talk to raise their spirits and then all of a sudden as big-damn-heroes backup shows up. Kinda takes away all of an episodes potential dramatic value.

All in all...
+ Great animation, epic music (especially the OP and ED), very very large amount of fanservice towards the players, some funny moments, many characters I liked at least made a cameo
- CGI was a bit to obvious, no real story/character development, things that annoyed me as player (see the Fubuki example above)

It was a good show and a delicious piece of fanservice (not to mention a great hook for Kadokawa/DMM to get more people into KanColle) but it wasn't without flaws.
Still did the job better than Ars Nova two years ago.

The Admiral isn't shown in the game either. There isn't even official artwork of him/her.
This is done to further the "the admiral is YOU!" idea, the same idea as with most visual novels where the face of the prota isn't shown either.

I totally agree with you. I play kancolle and Im thankful they made an anime. The hatertards got so much time so theyre whining on the internet. Hatertards this is not for you go back to your usual perverted anime where theres always a naked girl changing clothes and a clueless retard male lead.

So a second season is incoming which sounds nice.
Tho i found this ending pretty satisfying as it is but seeing the popularity of the game for this past few years it's very understandable.

The only bad thing about this ending was that Naka wasn't sunk, that girl is really annoying.
But it could be just me personal feelings.

Bruhhhh, that was an action-packed finale. That Airfield Princess was a real menace, and the waves of fleet girls coming in at the scene were awesome (especially Nagato and Yamato. They got MOVES :3). What really disappointed me was how that Wo class carrier with the blue eyes didn't even put up a fight. The show hyped up her danger for like the last half of the series, and she got sunk like it was nothing. Oh well. Can't wait for the sequel!

Also, was that Kisaragi's hair piece thing floating up to the surface? And Give what back????

Anime should be renamed: Last Second Saves: Fleet Girl Edition

It was fine the first few times, but it gets so predictable after the 6-7 time, plus one fleet girl died and that's it?... The show can't even give me a believable military campaign story.

Eh... 4/10 but I will probably watch season 2... I like learning about history.

Well, you either liked it, or you hated it i guess. All in all, the series was nothing special for me, i didn't particularly look forward to it each week, but i liked it enough to keep up with it, so it wasn't too bad. The only really shitty episode of the bunch was that damn curry competition episode. What a f'ing waste of an episode that was.

Kongou was my favorite ship-girl. She probably put the series over the fence into being watchable for me.

10/10, so glad none of my ship girls sunk. That accessory in the end, was Kisaragi the last carrier, or was it just a final reminder that Kisaragi sunk?

So much rage here.

OT: Reinforcements upon reinforcements upon reinforcements upon...

Kinda drained the tension of the situation. I personally think it was a bit of a waste to introduce the concept of sinking... only to never use it again. But whatever, 70% slice of life and such.

3/5, 7/10, I plan on watching the sequel since I (mostly) enjoyed this show.

May i ask can someone explain it to me. I'm quite confuse here.////

Why Kisaragi's headband appear at the last quarter of the show?

Is that mean Kisaragi turned into Abbysal Wo-class and they just killed Kisaragi?

I just wanna clear that, no offense on anything ^_^

<3 Taihou. Hopefully she'll have a bigger role in season 2, 'cause she' definitely best shipgirl (along with Iku). By the way, someone needs to add her character to the roster her on MAL. I could do it, technically, but I'm lazy...

Prediction for S2: Submarine girls. IKUUUUUU!!!

Also Hoppou-chan. Maybe Seaport Hime as well? Goth Island?


Anyway, as for this season... let's be honest, the story was generic and it had a lot of cheesy moments. But that's more or less what I thought it'd be like anyway, so I can't really say I'm all that disappointed. Could've been better obviously, but it's fine. I enjoyed it enough in the end. Now I'm not sure whether I'm gonna give it a 5 or a 6 out of 10...

The whole season of this was awesome. The last episode was cool with everyone (except a few like the two that greeted them at the shore at the end) fighting and winning that battle together.

While it might not be my favorite of the season, this is easily the highest quality anime out of the animes I watched this season.

I was excited when I saw this is getting a sequel but I was also surprised. Even though I like this I thought it wouldn't get more because it seems like a lot of other people don't like it a whole lot and it looks really difficult to make.

My favorite characters are Yuudachi, Shimakaze, and Kongou. Yuudachi and Kongou got relatively a lot of screen time and that was awesome but Shimakaze really got shafted. Hopefully they'll show her more in the sequel while still showing Yuudachi and Kongou as much as they did or more.

Well this was a satisfying anime to watch though I understand why some people would want a more edgy/dark ending.

I just hope they choose a different lead for the next season if they do have one as there were so many shipgirls that were not introduced and it would be a shame if they never appeared at all.

I rate it 8/10.

Enemys they fight against are... their companions that sank? O.O That's what I think. If I'm correct then I'll watch second season.
