The directors and script writers are taking some nods to historical accuracies and giving them comical exaggerations. Don't get your knickers in a twist just yet, I'll be back with more on the others. This literally took me about 10 minutes of Googling, if you really want to know how I got these figures. (Heck, typing them up here was a lot more time-consuming than looking for data.) I have no idea how you were googling, but Akagi and Kaga had their bunkerages with 7.6k tons of oil. Kongou had to carry 2.7k tons of coal and 3.3k tons of oil. But I wasn't speaking about it.

Also, if you're into so-called "historical accuracies", then tell me, why do we see Shimakaze in the events of 1942? Everyone knows she was commisioned in 1943, after events of Midway and Guadalcanal. The producer is enough accurate to show the sinking of Kisragi and Yamato shooting allied aircraft, so this makes sense he knows history. But Shimakaze, who would never see Fubuki or 1st CarDiv is hopping around. Because "we won't get profit if we don't show the noob magnet, so let's screw the history for a bit, nobody will notice". Yet, I wasn't speaking about it, either.

Actually, the main thing I dislike is repetition of the same jokes over time. Do I have to watch Akagi-senpai eating curry while Fubuki looking at her in adoration and Ooi shouting "KITAKAMI-SAN" for another 4 episodes? I always thought kantai collection is about battling the abyssals in WW2 reference and NOT about clicking at the flagship over and over again (at least if it's not Zuihou). Where is it? It was a war, not a slice of life. Ships really sink when they're sunk, you know.
