Just a guy who might just be starting to get into KanColle. I mostly snoop around correcting minor grammatical and spelling errors. I absolutely love that hyperactive, concerned, friendly Kongō.

Favorites

 * Destroyer(s): Fubuki, all three duckies, Amatsukaze, Yamakaze, Mutsuki, Yūdachi or Arashio. Sleep well, Bucky. Hope you can get revived sooner... or later. All three Akizuki-class kanmusu (or duckies) have cute chō-10cm-hō-chans (although Shimakaze's Rensōhō-chans are admittedly cuter), but what kills me is their reaction when they see anything luxurious (to them at least), which I find very cute. Amatsukaze may just be your generic tsundere (just like Takao from Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio or maybe Yamakaze) but she does have that cute heart-shaped smoke cloud (if only she was more commonly seen...). Yamakaze... actually looks good and is one of the best kanmusu designs I've seen, despite her okay stats. Mutsuki... is just cute. Yūdachi... poi poi poi (and this image). Need I say more? And Arashio... "Ufufufufu". Shimakaze would be higher on the list if her outfit wasn't so revealing.
 * Battleship(s): Nagato, Mutsu or Yamato. Nagato and Mutsu are very good complements to each other's personalities; Nagato is serious while Mutsu is flirty, while Yamato... is just fun to poke fun at because of her luxury. Bismarck comes a close second because of her serious personality, but not as good as Nagato's. Musashi would be higher on this list if her outfit... wasn't so revealing, and Iowa would be too if she could SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH.
 * Aviation battleship(s): Fusō or Hyūga. Well then, if Fusō says she's unlucky, at least she's being honest about it. Hyūga, on the other hand, was my very first battleship; she's been KOing strong enemies since then.
 * Fast battleship(s): Kongō and Haruna. Kongō speaks okay "English", good personality, and most of all, "TEIIIIIIIIITOOOOOOOKUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!"; Haruna is humble, and loves to speak in third person, which is honestly quite cute. Hiei would be higher if she stopped screaming "HIEEEE" like a wimp when she got hit (though admittedly, her mistaking a chocolate for an armor-piercing shell is rather hilarious; and apparently, those chocolates are lethal enough to kill the Abyssal Fleet, and her cooking is hilariously bad to the point that there are so many running gags about it) and Kirishima would be higher if she didn't check her microphone so often, though I gotta admit, their singing voices are good.
 * Light cruiser(s): Ōyodo, Isuzu, Kinu, Yūbari or Agano. I don't care if Ōyodo says "sakusen" every two words. She's a good assistant. Isuzu is very effective as a kanmusu in game, and Kinu is probably a great person to hang out with (though I will admit, I will prank the hell outta her if she gives me Russian Roulette chocolates). Yūbari... has a friggin' mad scientist personality. And because she was my 32nd ship, she's been kicking head since then. And Agano is just... cute. And effective.
 * Heavy cruiser(s): Atago, Maya, Chōkai, or both Aoba-class kanmusu. First off, Atago sounds exactly like Kongō. Almost. Couldn't have Ms. Tōyama come up with another voice for her? Anyway, from all the stuff I see, she seems to be a good ship for combat, unless I'm wrong. If only she could stop giggling like a little child... and stop saying "pan paka pan" so often. Maya is another one of these laid-back characters from what I see (but she's been kicking head in my fleet since then), Chōkai... is just effective, and Aoba and Kinugasa... are cute. Like their tones of voice and speech patterns.
 * Torpedo cruiser(s): Kiso. A departure of personalities; basically, a friggin' female pirate. Kitakami would be higher on this list if her personality wasn't so unpredictable and Ōi would be too if she wasn't so attached to Kitakami to the point where it gets annoying.
 * Aviation cruiser(s): Kumano. Another generic lady-like friendly character... who loves sandwiches. Just like me. Sorta. Wonder why she squeals like a dolphin...
 * Light carrier(s): Zuihō. Hmm, another one of the Admiral's potential... y'know. Wonder why she likes tamagoyaki so much.
 * Standard carrier(s): Zuikaku, Akagi or Kaga. Another departure from the other personalities of the rest, by not taking things seriously. Akagi is cheerful, just like Kongō, but what takes the cake is her gluttony, just like in game. Even her idle line shows it. Kaga is a good counter to Akagi, being the polar opposite. Apparently, Kaga is kinda cute in that she can tolerate Akagi's bullcrap during that curry contest...
 * Submarine(s): I know this is cheating because this character isn't exactly from Kantai Collection: I-401 Iona. I am fully aware that there is an I-401 (Shioi) in Kantai Collection, but, Iona, IMO, looks better than Shioi. Hopefully Kadokawa can have another Kantai Collection x Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio (Arpeggio of Blue Steel) crossover. But if there was a submarine I like from Kantai Collection, it's I-58/Goya, likely due to this video.
 * Seaplane tender(s): Commandant Teste. The only ship that literally says "I love you" when you marry her.
 * Auxiliary(s): Akashi. Complements Ōyodo well, with a great seiyū, and a legitimately sad sinking line (if she got sunken, I would cry just hearing the line). She's also honest in that she... can't really fight.
 * In-game music piece(s): 敵超弩級戦艦を叩け！(Battling the enemy's super dreadnaught!). A grim sounding piece integrating parts of 我、夜戦に突入す！ (Rushing into the night battle!), which makes it sound all the more grim; 砲雷撃戦、始め！(Cannons and Torpedoes, Fire!) comes a close second due to its catchiness, and 提督との絆 (Our bond with the Admiral) comes close as the lyrics have actual meaning; who knew the Kongō sisters have such good singing voices.
 * Anime music piece: 帰還 (Return) by Shiena Nishizawa, 吹雪 (Fubuki) by Shiena Nishizawa or 海色 (みいろ) (Miiro) by AKINO (from bless4). Return is a good piece for a movie, showing the sadness of Fubuki's sinking; sleep well. Fubuki, well... is a catchy piece with a catchy tune. And Miiro... is upbeat.
 * Unofficial music piece(s): 轟音でかき消した音 (The sounds drown in my roar) by senya (Mayumi Morinaga) of Yūhei Satellite, the unofficial theme for Nagato and Mutsu. Upbeat, even though I have no transcription of the lyrics. Fits a fast-paced battle well, especially since Nagato and Mutsu are hard-hitting battleships; intense fights galore.
