Good taste. I can't unhear the Karen (Kiniro Mosaic) in her voice though.

Karen was one of my favorite girls from Kiniro Mosaic. That character was so funny an loveable at the same time.

YES!

I love the character design for Shimakaze, but I hope Sakura Ayane won't voice her in the adaptation, she tends to be terribly irritating barring a few exceptions (Merry, Kaisei).

Suzaki Aya for my namesake? Sounds okayish.

Taketatsu Ayana as Yamato? Not sure anymore if I should watch this...Well, let's hope for the best, will check it out at least.

A lot of them can be traced back to pixiv. Search by the tag 艦これ and you will be able to find a lot of fan art on it. I am sure some western sites also house some of those pics but I did not check those sites.

One interesting thing I found is there is actually a practice among the illustrators that if a certain girl is drawn chances of drawing the card of that girl will rise (of course there is absolutely no proof of it). Some of the most popular girls like Shimakaze, Tenryuu, Kongou all get many fanart pics drawn because of such wish.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I was talking about this week's manga and LN sales thread which has yet to be posted. :3 You mentioned something about you doing it instead of Snow, so I was wondering when you'll do it.
Again it's you who are impatient for the ssales ranking, aren't you? ;-) Well, because Snowical told me he wants to handle himself, so I have left the task to him.

I sure am. But only because Magi's part of this week's ranking. ^^
Good to know, then. Thanks for the heads-up.

I think I have written about this in a few of the earlier posts in this thread. Basically there is no single narrative, or "lore", behind the game (besides the historical data and details anyway), which is why I said there is a lot of room and flexibility when it comes to the story for the anime.


Well, there is an ongoing 4-koma web manga and some chapters are already translated: http://www.famitsu.com/comic_clear/se_kancolle/ (sadly there is no entry for it here).

It doesn't necessarily show the anime's direction, but it's definitely a way to delve a little bit more into the series (in a comedic way in this case). I would recommend it. There are some gags depending on the knowledge about some historical data and backgrounds of the ships... something you mentioned before.

My guess is that similar approach will be taken for KanColle, but with the added care that historical trivia will be abundantly inserted (as per Girls und Panzer).

Evidence suggests that you re probably right with your guess.

Don't give up, you will get in eventually :)
I've been playing for a week and even though I was conscious about the amount of popularity it was getting, I didn't think it'd reach the level of an anime adaptation anytime soon.

Personally, after looking at the wiki page on it provided in the first post, I'm not in the slightest bit interested in either the anime or game. It wouldn't be the first card game out there amongst computers or tablets, and the whole female only, as well as the sample cards provided on the wiki, turns me off. Female only alone, I wouldn't mind so much, but the art they seem to have just has no appeal to me - especially compared to other card games, both "anime" and "non-anime" style, I've seen (and play) for tablets. So...one less game out there for me to personally be concerned over.

Though as far as anime go, I really don't understand how this can get an anime so soon unless it's simply for publicity. A good chunk of anime the past so many years that were based off existing or non-existing card games haven't done the best, or even got another season from my knowledge, so unless they're going to take a Hetalia approach, I don't see this lasting.

I'm expecting KanColle will be better than Girls und Panzer, although Girls und Panzer is already epic. In all honesty, I've yet to see cute girls in naval battle.

Guess you do not watch Kimi no Iru Machi in this season? Since she voices the main heroine Yuzuki there. And then there is Mondaiji, Busou Shinki and Rinne no Lagrange before that...

I've been following this after being addicted to Battlestations, then crossed-over to Arpeggio of the Blue Steel (Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio) then somehow found this.

I've been fascinated by IJN ships for awhile now, and this along with my anime/manga addiction leaves me wanting more. Can't wait for the ENG versions to arrive, if ever.
P.S. If it does arrive to NA, I have the Fletchers & Iowas are considered...

You think "Playstation Vista" is a bad typo, the official Vita game site still says "PlayStaion®Vita" LOL

And still just says 2014, no month yet, sigh... but at least the Vita is finally getting a good solution of games and is NOT region locked so you can play them here!

The cover of the latest anthology manga with cover drawn by the writer of Yumekui Merry (a self-confessed big fan of KanColle, even asking for KanColle related work in open) looks pretty good. Really love the Kongo 4 sisters!
