Well, to be honest, I did not have these pre-requisites:
(1) knowledge on WW2 Japanese warships-hence, I don't understand most of the significance of the names of the battleships until later on. I thought I would be just fine not knowing them but I guess it kind of defeats the purpose for the writer to go ahead and name the girls based on the Japanese warships.
(2) I don't play the KanColle game-the KanColle game so far is only in Japanese. Otherwise, I would be interested to play it. Hence, it's hard to understand at first what's going on as you see people shooting arrows and shooting aeroplanes appear or even how the guns got attached to the girls, I mean I just don't get it.
To be honest, I hate all the characters except for the poi girl(Yuudachi). As for Fubuki, I can't say I enjoyed her character development that much. I don't know why but she just doesn't click with me.
Overall, if you are like me, feel free to skip this anime. It's a bother to actually want to know more about this anime if the publishers themselves make a lackluster effort in introducing this genre to new viewers like myself. However, if you have been following KanColle closely, I do believe you will enjoy this series. Otherwise, this anime is one to forget and ignore. only come and watch when you do have the time.
PS: The art and sound(voice acting) was the only highlight of the series. There will be a sequel and I will be watching it only because I want to watch more of poi~
