HowTragic wrote: Well what did everyone expect, a masterpiece script sprung up from a game that inherently had no story? What the game fundamentally lacks that the fanbase wants is interaction between shipgirls, and the anime compensated for that aspect plenty. I couldn't have put it better myself. People are trying to take this anime seriously when its not meant to be taken seriously, even when it tries to be dark and dramatic. This has clearly been an anime meant for fans of the game, not an anime intended for the general masses. I'm more than happy to see my favorite characters animated.

Its like with Sword Art Online. I was just super happy that my favorite scenes from the novel are now animated. It didn't matter that the second half of the first season was shit (because the anime cut out nearly all of the internal monologue of Kirito but I digress) because I already enjoyed what they offered.

Moreso than Sword Art, KanColle is definitely not an anime I would recommend to people unless they enjoy the game.
