While I was waiting for the episode to get uploaded to the site I use, I was browsing Danbooru and saw a pic, where a comment spoilered that Airfield turns into Midway. It was at that EXACT moment that I knew, this last episode was going to suck. And lo and behold, did it SUCK. I don't even know where to begin with it.

The show just completely stopped making sense. Since when was this about some mysterious force of history that they needed to defeat? Is this some sort of parody of the Japanese changing their history books about WWII? Why do killing the Wo carriers, including the eye glowing one, who all just stood there AFK anyway, stop the boss from regenning? WHY did Airfield even turn into Midway, that makes no sense! Literally nothing made sense anymore and it was just one big clusterf*ck and a forced happy ending where everyone lives happily ever after except Kisaragi because lol feels.

All of the characters fell flat. Taihou appeared and did...next to nothing but throwing a few planes and explaining the obvious. Almost all the Fleet Girls literally just stand there firing while the Abyssals stand there doing jack shit, enemy planes are zero threat despite their massive amounts, the only people that put on some semblance of action was Nagato for physically beating the shit out of an innocent Chi-class, and Ooi who suddenly became she-Hulk capable of throwing an Abyssal destroyer into orbit and then teaming up with Kitakami for a 360 torpedo spam, which was actually kind of cool. Everyone else...nope, nothing. And Akagi was just THE most negative person in this entire battle, repeating the same line over and over.

Oh and the Admiral is just...I don't even know. I honestly think it would be better if there was no Admiral at all because otherwise it'd turn into a harem show, but in a harem show, at least he would be a CHARACTER! The girls are fucking smitten with him anyway, yet he's not even a CHARACTER! He just, gets Fubuki because he wants her to be his waifu, disappears for no reason, then reappears for no reason besides yaaaay a morale boost.

So, at the end, after 12 weeks, we get nothing new on the world setting of Kancolle that's remotely interesting, quite frankly I think this whole shitfest would be considered non-canon by the fanbase anyway. The Abyssals are little more than AFK target practice, Kisaragi dies for cheap feels and a cliffhanger bait then is promptly forgotten by everyone, she must be folling in her fucking grave, maybe that's why she turns into an Abyssal. The Admiral is less a character and more a natural phenomenon, there's barely any real action because the enemies suck, and the best episodes were the SoL FILLER! I have never dreaded a S2 so much in my life, and if they do actually get FUNDING for S2 after this nightmare, they better hire a new development team and writers, because these current ones, should be put to DEATH.

On a happier note...Oregairu gets a S2? BLOODY HELL YES! Also, if any of you want an example of an anime based on video games that is done RIGHT, check out Hyperdimension Neptunia. It has lots of fan service and is pretty damn weird if you don't know the context, but it's tenfold better than Kancolle's anime.
