^ Ise's not yet confirmed to be in the anime. From the PV it does appear that Akagi may have the more serious personality of the game's Akagi instead of the fan-derived gluttonous idiot of the 4-koma.

I think the characters already known to be in the anime might follow their game personalities more closely than the fanbase's canon, largely to play safe with copyright issues. The fan-derived characterizations exist in a nebulous "fair-use" limbo that the company itself might not want to touch. Vocaloids (instead of Touhou) are currently the closest thing to kanmusu. They have the "blank slate" characters provided by the various publishers but a variety of fan-derived characterizations for individual songs and for aggregate canon (Miku's love for negi and Kaito's ice cream, for instance) but in all official events when Crypton has had to animate their Vocaloids, they always revert Miku back to her blank-slate character instead of adopting the aggregate canon. This is probably the model other Japanese companies with similar IPs, including Kadokawa with Kancolle, will adopt.

Therefore, we can expect Yamato to be the Nadeshiko character who hates the hotel nickname of the game instead of the slightly off-balance ice-cream queen of the 4-koma, Nagato to be the responsible fleet flagship she is in the game instead of the lolicon jealous big sister who wants all the DDs to love her, Kaga to be cool and obsessed with Akagi (well, her personality is largely the same in game and in the fan canon) but not to the extent depicted in fandom, Yuudachi to be the sweet girl she was before her wild kai ni side became hugely popular in the fandom, Mutsuki to be a baka hyper instead of the praise-addicted girl of the 4-koma, Sendai to be the more serious and cool yasen-baka big sister of the game instead of the comically obsessed version preferred by the fandom, etc, etc.

Naka will, of course, be 2-4-11ed right away, so there's no point in even guessing at what her personality will be like.
