^ I get the impresson... no, I KNOW that there a lot of fans out there who think Kancolle would just implode within itself if it wasn't just about moe WWII ship girls battling naked aliens from the depths and living happy SOL lives outside of battle. I'm personally all for Kancolle with some darker tones - It's why I LOVED that opening scene of the anime and enjoy a lot of the darker doujinshi out there. But, I do understand where these people are coming from... the story going full-Urobuchi and taking itself way too seriously too quickly (especially considering how the story/themes of the game have been set out by Kadokawa thus far) would put a lot of people off.

There's a line that can be crossed with this kind of thing. At the very least, I do hope the anime expands on the nature of the abyssals and the kanmusu with some "serious" themes and not just 99.9% ^_^ SOL with battles sprinkled here and there.
