So much hatred on this thread. As someone who did not played the game, I actually enjoyed the anime. It's not an epic or a masterpiece anime but it's quite enjoyable and entertaining.

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.

I'd rather see Yuudachi go under. Her "poi" tick could have been cute, but it was so overbearing that I wanted to strangle her.

Not even. Even Aldnoah S2 is better than this trash. I at least can watch through Aldnoah unlike this show.


Honestly, I like both series... its like a break from seriousness...

As someone who never played the game, I loved the anime. This last episode was awesome. 8/10 without any doubt, I enjoyed the hell out of it.

This last episode managed to make me push up the score but the show still felt mediocre throughout. I guess I'll endure the second season as well in hopes that they focus more on the battles and especially those enemies.

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.

Well, this final was okay for me. I expected some girls sinking, but they all survived and we got a happy ending.

As someone who never played the game, I enjoyed this anime and give it a 7/10. It has action, SoL, funny moments and great OP/ED Songs.

BURNING LOVE!!!

So many butthurt people in here, it's highly amusing.

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.

I don't understand the scene at 20:49, a voice whisper: return it! returnit! return it!, 3 times, after that at 21:23 Kirisaki hair pin appear from the botton of sea. Means return Kirisaki's remains? or just her can now rest in peace?

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.

It might be suggesting that the fleet girl(s) sunk was being turned into a "abyssal".

Sure, show could have been better, but could have been worse too. After all, this was just fanservice for the players of the browser game, and as such, it was definitely enjoyable. Same goes for the doujinshi readers like myself.

I'm very happy to hear about a 2nd season! My hopes for S2:
- admiral will be shown
- Hoppo-chan
- moar/other kanmusumes like Tenryuu etc.
- story about kisaragi -> abyssal will be explained

This was still fun despite fate being changed.

With more reinforcements coming to finally amassing a formidable forces themselves! The abyssal forces was really big though.

Too much Fubuki, not enough Shimakaze.
At least we finally got to see the Admiral's face in the ED.
Continuation better have some Bismarck/Prinz Eugen and submarine action.

I'm surprised they announced a sequel straight after the last episode. Whether it'll be a second season or a movie sequel remains to be confirmed, but I wouldn't mind watching it.

Oicchi's drop kick & throw combo on the Abyssal was epic and seeing Yamato on the front-line was great too, but apart from that, the fight was very good despite being predictable.

Overall, I'd give the series a 7/10.

A bit too much Deus Ex Machina for my tastes.

I was expecting/hoping that some of the more important ships might have sunk. You know the Yuri ones, Kitakami and Ooichi or whatever. When they were surrounded they should have been sunk there, instead of being able to torpedo all the enemy at once. OP much? lol It makes me wonder where the threat even was tbh.

Akagi getting sunk would have been an interesting turn of events, especially if it was to save Fubuki or Kaga. Just felt really hollow and a bit of a blow to all the build up the battle was given.

4/10 for the ep, a low 6/10 overall for me.

I don't expect much from this anime since it was there to promote the Kancolle games.
Heck, I don't even play Kancolle, but watched it anyway because of the cute characters. Yep, I'm probably not here for the Plot, nope.

The anime itself wasn't that good, while also not that bad either. Some parts are enjoyable to watch, while some parts are.. well.. decent?

Seiyuus like Sakura Ayane, Nao Touyama voicing multiple characters in one series were pretty nice to see. Props to the VA.

The ending was acceptable at best. Pretty disappointed there are no sinking ship(s) in this episode. Only one in the whole series up until now. I wished for more twist though..

The second season already announced, so there will probably introduce more ships. (the submarines, please make it happen)

Anyway 7/10 will be the score, it have it ups and down, but still watchable, well.. for me at least.
I want to play the game tbh, but I cannot understand japanese.. T.T

I liked the anime, it turned out exactly how I thought it would, half "slice of life" filled and half action oriented. The ending was specially satisfactory I'd say.

And I knew it, that sunk fleet girls are what makes up the Abyssal Fleet. I guess the second season would go more into it. I hope so anyway :D

I find it amusing that allot of the comments are hating on the show while the poll still shows that over 40% of people gave it a 5 of 5. I never played kantai collection and started watching this series because of how silly of a concept it was. Maybe people are butthurt from the adoption from the game? Idk, I personally thought it was a really enjoyable time killer. Am surprised but looking forward to season 2.

or how
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Light_Cruiser_Demon

those who liked the series probably just wanted to see their waifus animated and hear them shout their iconic lines like burning love, pan-pa-ka-pan, poi, etc. (and I just wanted to see tenryuu but noooo..) while those who hated it wanted to see action while in hindsight, ships just shoots then hit or miss their targets, of course it'll bore you if there's only shooting and there are countable weak enemies every episode.

Pretty good show, I was mainly watching because of Kongou and Yuudachi.

Kongou getting excited because admiral is back. Well we know Kongou is getting...

It was pretty cheesy how the group was in such despair, none of their attacks working, enemy reaches regeneration mode, but then a miracle appears. Girls take out main enemy, enemy leader destroyed. The ending felt like they forced the happy ending. Well, good thing admiral is back, we'll be seeing a happier joyful Kongou.
