Season 1 of the anime took us to post-Midway. I haven't seen the movie, but I'm guessing it takes us to some point after the Battle of Cape Esperance (11-12 October 1942)? Or does it include the rest of the Guadalcanal naval battles (Santa Cruz, Guadalcanal I, Guadalcanal II, & Tassafaronga) as well? If so, Season 2 will probably include at least half of 1943 or possibly all of it. If they stretch it out, the Season 2 finale could be the Attack on Truk (17-18 February 1944) and the shipgirls are forced to defend Yamato's base from a massive air assault, meaning they have to go out and find the Abyssal carriers and sink them. This way we could see several more carriers in anime form. (Did Shoho survive in the anime? Looked to me like she was just heavily damaged.)
