@sesarin:

I mentioned "focus", which was the first thing in this tweet: https://twitter.com/ku_ro_ha/status/580772827004964864. If you do not understand JP, let me make it short:

1. Anime has no focus.

2. Failed to adapt the original material from the game to the anime.

3 Script sux

4 is subjective (4 is about Yura not in the anime lel)

We already talk about 1, let's talk about 2 today.

Kancolle, as a game at its core, has never been about history WW2 or ship shooting like how the anime wanted to portray. There's a reason it has "collection" in it, because it mainly was about you collecting "card" like every other CCG. The battle is a "mean" to collect the card, it's not the core engagement of the game. If this is still hazy to you, "core engagement" of a game is something unique that drives you to play that game again and again. This is why they keep introducing new girl for you to collect in kancolle.

Which is why, the way you mentioned Super Smash Bro mean you doesn't even understand what's the core engagement of that game is, which is brawling. Head over to Extra Credits on youtube, those guys deal exclusively with gaming's genre.

If you didn't notice, it's because kancolle was a collecting game, that we always hype everytime a hint about a new girl or a new in-game quote/joke was made. Do we ever hype about historical battle in this one? Surely not, because with just 1 click away you're right at wikipedia. This is why Kuroha said they failed to adapt the original material, because the game from the start was never about historical battle.
