The reason that i joined this game is because of a very long chain reaction that I’d rather not explain here. So briefly;

I have been interested in digital art, and checking various sites including pixiv every 1 week or two, for years. One day, i realized that there were so many drawings of a certain girl (kongou) and they looked great, especially on huge battleships. Then I wondered: “Is this some new anime?”

I thought I’d at least give it a try, as I had already seen arpeggio and hadn’t thought that it had been bad. But then I found out that it was a game, and I was quite disappointed. Mostly because I was a big anime fan back then. Plus the registration was being done by a lottery... So I gave up.

Day by day, as I kept seeing more and more of drawings of “that” game, I wondered why so many people were interested in it. I wondered if i could enter and win the lottery despite not knowing japanese. I wasn’t sure at first. But then “Well, let’s give it a try” I said. Then I searched for a guide, found it and tried joining. It was easy.

After learning the english translations of basic menus, the rest of the game came naturally. It was like when I had started Age of Empires at the age of 5, everything was in english but i could stay play fine without understanding it xD. (I’m not a native english speaker) Besides, the games are what taught me english. And now the same thing is happening with japanese in kancolle.

But the question is not why I started the game, it is why I still continue to play it.

I liked getting new ships & sortieing, expanding my fleet. I have found new shipgirls with all different characters, they all have something in them, yes, even fubuki class. You’ll definitely find someone you like among them. Listening to their lines was fun too.

After completing main maps, i kinda felt like bored. Nowadays I don’t even log in everyday for expeditions. I mostly play during events. They are quite fun. But the reason why they are fun is not only because of the game, it is also thanks to YOU GUYS. Each one of you who contribute to this wiki make playing this game more fun.

It’s not fun if I can’t rant about RNG on wiki.

It’s not fun if I can’t hear other people’s salt.

It’s not fun if I can’t tell people to go read wiki =P

It’s not fun if I can’t call someone kuso when they’ve sunk a ship.

It’s not fun if I can’t read your hilarious comments.

It’s not fun if I can’t research and share them with you.

It’s not fun if I can’t believe that I helped other people by contributing to this wiki.
