Previews
- The title & its reading
- Kanmusu-related titles read by their seiyuu
All kanmusu & Abyssals are redesigned for the anime
- Probably for standardization purposes & ease of transfer into 3D
- Anime kanmusu & anime Abyssals versus game kanmusu & game Abyssals
- Shibafu Akagi into anime Akagi
Kanmusu quotes are frequently employed
- Possibility even when they do not quite fit
Time progression
- Timeskipping is evident, preventing derivations from day/night cycles & the script
- Travel times are skipped given the planning maps shown throughout the series
- Docking time, other than showing a few timers, is skipped
- Operation dates & times are not provided other than in a relative fashion
The series is split in half
- Odd episodes are serious
- Even episodes are usually character-focused
As is the usual practice, physics is bent as necessary for viewer expectations, dramatic effect, & so forth.
A Naval Base is within a Naval District. For example, the Kure Naval District's layout was:
- Naval Base
- Naval Guard Unit

- Naval Hospital
- Naval Prison
- Naval Fuel Depot
- Special Naval Landing Forces
- Submarine Base
- Naval Infantry Barracks
- Naval Fuel Depot

Arrows transmorgify in a yellow aura after shooting into aircraft
- Fairies are in the planes rather than on. It's possibly the same for equipment.
- As such, given the size of yamato's fairy .jpg one of Yamato's fairies, it seems they vary in size or can change size.
The basic Kongou-class armaments can fire in the X-form or compact form.
Abyssal remodel is indeterminate unless noted
The Abyssal aircraft launch in a mini-form, then enlarge within a yellow aura
Abyssal shells are shown as cracked spheres.
Combat ranges are extremely close
The Naval Base has numerous fleets, but naturally, only the fleets Fubuki interacts with are ever seen deploying
- Even during base emergencies
A port is not necessary for departing or demounting equipment

- Fully equiped kanmusu can walk on land & operate in shallow waters
