----------------------------------------
Well that was fun, some parts felt slow but some good buildup for preparation to the battle.

Akagi's speech was inspiring. I was a bit worried for Fubuki at first as well since she seems a bit inexperienced. That battle was alright imo. Pretty fast paced but I loved the overall teamwork of all the ships.

Kisaragi nooooooo;_;

I prayed and wished for this but Mutsuki + sunset + sad music is doing things to my heart.

Also I didn't dislike Kisaragi...The opposite actually.

Soooo....you probably may need to understand history in order to know the significance of this episode.

Basically, the Battle of Wake Islands is a naval battle where Kisaragi was sunk by the Allied bombers. As such, it is expected that Kisaragi will be sunk in this episode.

So this episode introduces the concept of sinking in the Kancolle video game. Basically, if your ship is sunk, the ship is gone...forever (kinda like the Fire Emblem games with the permadeath of your character). Apparently, it is possible to get your ship back, but you need to restart from scratch.

Kisaragi sank because of the weight of all the death flags she was carrying this episode.

Kisaragi got sunk, no not that, my god was it really that bad to not change it up a little (it's fiction). The ending and the sunset made my hear sink but I didn't cry.

Yayoi had a minor appearance this episode which was something I really wanted, hopefully she'll get more screentime now that Kisaragi is gone.

Well, IIRC in history, after Kisaragi was sunk, she was effectively replaced by Uzuki in the ship platoon (which if I recall correctly, Uzuki happens to be the "genki girl" sister of Yayoi in the game).

Personally i thought Mutsuki would get hit this episode with the things she was saying she pretty much signed her death sentence but it was her friend that got hit.

Well maybe there is good news next week but we will see i guess.

Luckily idol girl didn't get much attention this time she is the kind of character that makes avoid all those idol anime.
Well there are more reasons for that but it's one of them.

In game, unless it's a requirement, sending Battleships on exped is pointless as they eat up lots of resources.

You need 2 DDs for this, so it's safe to assume it was a regular exped. I can't tell what this TTK is thinking.

Cliché death to say the least... or maybe extremely predictable would be the better way to put it. BUT! I'm very glad that they're actually including ship sinking at all. Just makes me wonder even more what later battles will be like. And next episode will probably be very sad indeed.

Also will be interesting to see if maybe, just maybe, Kisaragi will turn into an abyssal at some point. It's possible that they might take that route in the anime.

Man, this seems to be quite a bit better when it focuses on the battles rather than the slice-of-life stuff which is entirely meaningless if you didn't play the game. Still, that's not exactly saying much, especially with such a predictable death at the end. Just when I was about to give it credit for not acting on the obvious death flags too...

And I swear, if I hear Poi one more time, heads are gonna roll.

Of course it was predictable it was historical. She sunk at the battle of wake island during the war.

I was told Urobutched wasn't involved in the KanColle anime...the fact that a girl just died in episode 3 is making me belive in the Ghost of The Butcher.

Mixed feelings, a part of me doesn't want to see a Madoka-ish level of trama, another part actually wants it.

Kongou for next week.....BURNING LOVE!!!

Well then it makes sense. I don't know much about the history behind these battles myself, so. Most of them anyway, and this was one of 'em.


By the way, someone quoted this on reddit:

Kisaragi was sailing away from the engagement when it came under air attack by four F4F Wildcat fighter planes from Wake armed with 100-pound bombs. One Wildcat, piloted by Henry "Hammering Hank" Elrod, dropped his bombs on Kisaragi's stern, which was packed with depth charges.

The sinking of Kisargi would contribute to Elrod being posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.


So the way she sunk in the episode was also quite accurate then I guess. Hm.

Yeah the guys who made the kancolle game put a lot of work into adding in historical elements to the designs of the ship girls and many other things. It's pretty nice the amount of things you learn when you look up the trivia of the ships and the girls themselves
