| Because Amatsukaze isn't on the cover. |
| Yea the first complaint sounds a bit shallow... like saying I watch war movies but only if our side is shown being benevolent/good and kicking ass. Not like Hiroshima happened... |

It's a huge stretch to make that claim about the abyssal fleet representing the allied forces with little evidence. Reason 3 is the big one for all the incoming hate. Kancolle is gaining popularity from anime sites and stuff like danbooru where people are constantly exposed to their fan art. Then, it attracts people who know nothing about the game into this anime that solely caters to the fans which makes them feel disappointed about the hype when they become unattached to the show. |
| I've never played the game, so my opinion is based entirely on what I watched. I can appreciate moe when in a good slice of life show (which don't really need a story, it's just pure enjoyment based on characters) or when it compliments a well-made anime. This adaptation is neither of those things, though. It tries to have a story, (CG) action and some light-hearted parts. All of them come off as mediocre and nothing more though. Not to mention the fact that it all feels pretty ridiculous. Arrows turning into airplanes and battleship girls all just feels like a very silly concept being handled like a serious one. Alexlung said: 1) Abyssal fleet are kinda portrayed as the US, Japanese / Germans are portrayed as the good guys While I can't see myself rooting for WWII-era Imperial Japan, this setting never gave off much of an Allies-Axis war vibe really. The "good guys" are Japanese, sure, but the "bad guys" are just silent enemies that aren't show as much more than an evil opponent. Besides, everyone's view of war differs based on their part in it. Japanese people will be naturally bias towards their nation, just like Americans and the British will see themselves as righteous and wholly good. Either way, anime set in a fictional setting like this had little to do with real history. |
| Currently, it's just an average show with "hate" that is mostly legitimate criticism. |
 |
| Didn't even notice the hate. It's pretty average so far. |
 |
| Don't have a formed opinion yet, the CG is really jarring though. |

| that what i`m thinking about i think the anime is good there's not a lot anime like that i mean guns and whatever (girls) i just love it and the character so cute @WuBoyBR i have to say to you something,,, just don't care about people who hate the anime for stupid thing. |

| Episode 3 |
| One more factor I've heard is that apparently fans of the game are upset because the Admiral is a complete idiot and a terrible player who makes n00b mistakes, badly wastes his resources, and is constantly sending his ships out on missions they aren't suited for. Now personally, I'm rather enjoying KanColle. I don't give two flips about the game (never played it, never will), but the anime is entertaining and has a sort of goofy charm to it that makes it easy to watch, and it's been much more accessible so far than what I was worried about. It'll never be mistaken for a classic and it isn't buy-worthy IMO, but it's a perfectly fine streaming series as long as you aren't one of the people who's taking it way too seriously. |

| I really wanna play the game |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| I think I've just gotten tired of most moe anime, lol. I don't know, something of this show just isn't right. It's supposed to be about war... yet, you have all these perfectly manicured little girls fighting. They wouldn't last in a real war. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| If People Hate this then they should have just DROPPED it from the start. |
 |
| It's so simple. There's no fleet girls from Allied side..xD |
| First and second eps were kinda good. After those it got boring ad cringeworthy. Meh |
 |
| Because animation is horrid, CGI overused, character models poorly done, MC sucks, it's full of the worst anime cliches imaginable and overall just bland and poorly done. Seriously, it's really simple: because it's just bad. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| If it was that bad then drop it and move on. The fact that hater still keep posting mean they are clearly troll. |
| I find this series far better than idolm@ster Cinderella Girls, Kancolle has delivered nearly everything I wanted and expected (if Uzuki and the subs appear then it will be everything and I wouldn't mind some surprises as well)), it does have issues with the writing in parts and some minor issues with the CG. Cinderella Girls on the other hand, while it has it's surprises has delivered next to nothing that I've wanted when I asked for the anime back in 2012, it doesn't have my favorite girl that even got me interested in the first place (Kancolle delivered 3 already with episodes left for more), it doesn't help that half of the main cast are below average. |

I have a quote for you Beat said: I hate anime and even though I truly hate, like, Hayao Miyazaki's work, I can recognize how great anime is just by the amount of money it earns. I think you should do things you like, but you also need to be open enough to recognize the things you think you don't These two quotes are completely unrelated. The second quote is more likely to refer to acknowledging that something can be great even though you personally may loathe it with all your heart, which makes no sense given the first poster's context that people who hate it already shouldn't force themselves to watch it. Now, as for myself, I'm a veteran Kancolle player. And yes, the anime is completely pandering to the fanbase, which includes myself. Doesn't mean I'll care, or that the producers will. In fact, they probably couldn't care less what the western anime fanbase thinks. Kancolle's primary player base is in Japan, and that's where they're pandering towards, so it makes complete sense from a business standpoint. At that point, it doesn't matter if the story is a complete mess, or if the sound is bad, or whatever the hell other complaints are had. The fanbase will probably keep watching at the end of the day and it'll sell, so all complaints are rendered moot. That said, the plot has some issues, the CG is somewhat noticeable, the battles themselves don't stand out that much, and of course there is the dreaded moe that causes anime fans to scream in undying agony and horror as if they won't survive the impending moepocalypse. Unfortunately, I've seen worse in the story department and elsewhere, and CG hasn't turned me off ever because I think it's a perfectly stupid reason to bias myself against something that I might find enjoyable. And I am enjoying Kancolle. I even got a close-up cameo shot of two of my favorite destroyers in episode 5. I can understand hatred of some of the mechanics of the show, because it isn't a stellar, thought-provoking production at all. But at the end of the day, I doubt the producers or the fanbase will really care. |
| Because 80% Anime watchers came from the USA. the Abyssal Ships were portrayed as U.S. Ships and they find it offensive. The Overhypeness is alienating the entire anime community then it got hated and criticized a lot. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Simple. Because this adaption was made for people who play the game. Someone who has no idea what was going on, let alone appreciate the quirks of each individual ship girl, would obviously find every episode repetitive and repulsive, every animated game mechanism obnoxious and stupid, and every character interaction bland and redundant by default. Though, I certainly hope they're not hating because the abyssal ships are thought of as U.S. ships during WWII. But maybe I'm expecting too much from 'murica (and maybe 'ropa). I do agree with one thing though: Fubuki's a lame MC. Perhaps directors thought that by have a destroyer as MC, there can be some character development, but really I'm really just hoping they bring out the Himes and the abyssalized Kisaragi-chan. On the other hand, Kadokawa certainly doesn't give a fuck what the western weabbase, of which less than 5% actually buy BDs, thinks. Pre-orders are through the roof from just the targeted consumers. |
| From my point of view: the anime was overhyped as fuck by the players, making the non-players think that it is some sort of a godly written masterpiece which raised their expectations way too high, even though the players(those that i encountered of various sites) had shit expectation in mind, including me. So when the anime aired it was actually better then what a lot of players thought and was a lot worse then non-players had hoped for, making the players praising it for being good, and non-players who were expecting some masterpiece talk shit about it for not meeting the way too high expectations. |

I'm not really active in the KanColle community, i only talk to one person about it who is a player, the other few i talk with about KanColle are non-players who have mixed opinions about the show. I'm not even that much of hardcore player as well. Now, back to your point: I assume it's natural, it's not like all players had the same expectations, so some of them are most likely disappointed. but for me, a casual player, i'm quite happy with the adaption so far. |
LucasRTS said: Because it's shit, overhyped, weak plot, weak characters and there's huge amounts of moe crap. Overall it's a piece of garbage. 2/10 And I don't want to drop anything or put on-hold so I need to finish this trash. Pretty much a otaku pandering anime. Bad troll is bad. Also, most of the negativity for the franchise stems from nothing more than hating on something that is popular. Their feed gets filled with it, so they develop an instant hate because whatever their favorite thing may be is getting overrun by Kantai. The same thing happened with Sword Art Online. The show was overhyped and overhated, but was fine. Always remember that instinctively hating on anything that is popular will make you appear cool and emphasis the obvious standard that your taste are superior to the general masses. |
