The fairies are one of the best parts of the game.
>>119509085
Many of them were shot down
Did they die?
>>119510678
Fairies don't die. They poof into fairy dust and reform into fairies when mixed with bauxite.
>>119509085
I don't get it. I never played kancolle. Never understood the hype behind it, and don't understand it now. Anime is just a glorified commercial for the game, with a lot of cameos and winks to those who played the game. I don't get it. Why it's good?
>>119511357
You mean why is the anime good?
because of all those cameos and winks to people who already played the game, you said it yourself.
>>119512020
Ok, then tell me why the game is good. I never understood that either. It's perfect material for doujins, is there something more to it?
>>119512375
The game? It's fucking shit. And I play it.
They just hit the jackpot with the right kind of cute girls in the right kind of setting with the right kind of voice actors. It's the mountain of fanart and doujinshi (the non-h kind, mostly) that make it all worthwhile.
>>119511357
If you don't want to learn Japanese try Valkyrie Crusade on Android/iOS.
>>119512375
There's a boat for everyone
>>119512375
It's like Touhou or Pokemon. Everybody has their individual favorite character that they identify with, argue and shitpost about. I think that's the true appeal of these 100+ character franchises.
I hate what Kantai/Kancolle has done to naval and naval aviation. Now I understand how the tankfags and planefags felt after GuP and Strike Witches.
Not to mention, the "ship" movement, design and combat makes the least sense out of all three in Kancolle.
Really warships are one of the few things that make the least sense to moeify.
>>119512748
I hear tankfags weren't that disappointed with GuP. Some of the stuff like the I-Go driving like a Ferrari and the "drop Hetzer superstructure on 38(t) suspension = instant Hetzer" parts did make some scratch their heads, but other than that there were no complaints.
>>119512741
Except that Kancolle has like 5 actual unique characters and the rest are just generic moegirls filled in with different colors.
>>119512566
>learn Japanese
Someday I will, anon, someday.
>>119512748
You can moeify everything, end of story.
However, watching Kancolle animated was a weird experience, I knew I was geting into something absurd, but actually watching it is something entirely different.
I will still watch the shit out of these ships.
>>119512924

>>119512748
Warships are so fucking cool.
>>119512906
Well it's not like they were wearing tank parts on them and holding little turrets in their hands while driving across the ground on tank treads stuck to their feet.
>>119512938
Maybe, but why warships for gods sake, what's next, moe spaceships?
>>119512912
The only girls who are really boring are maybe half the destroyers. Which is a good chunk of the roster (a 1/4, maybe) granted, but still. Most of the BBs/CLs/CVs/CAs/etc are all unique and fun.
>>119513031
I'll make it my first priority then. Wanted to do french or german this year, but I guess japanese it is.
>>119513062
you already get a moe spaceship out of tenchi muyo. and he fucked that spaceship too.
>>119513037
Fuck yeah they are.
What are some anime that feature warships heavily?
I know of Strike Witches - seeing Allied and Axis fleets sailing in formation together united against a larger enemy made my dick erect
>>119513062
We need to go more mainstrean.

Arpeggio, if you're not already aware.
>>119513111
Can't read lolicon doujinshi in french, anon. Get your priorities straight.
>>119513228
I've seen the trailers, and I've seen what they did to the F-16, I rather a moeified F16 than that abomination.
>>119513203
Arpeggio of Blue Steel.
In which the girls are not the very ship themselves but basically their AI.
>>119513256
Yeah that I haven't seen yet.
Any more?
It seems like there is as little warship animu as there is vidya.
>>119513390
Well, there's Zipang, but you should read the manga for that one.
>>119513390
I heard Zipang is specifically about japanese warship in WWII, full of yamato damashi.
>>119513206
>Moe Shoes
One could probably come up with tons of character designs just using Air Jordans for reference. Sell Js with moe anime figurine bonuses etc. Would sell like mad in both Japan and the US(shoefags can be even more insane than buyfags).
Somebody fund it. You're a genius, anon.

>"aahh! onii-chan I can barely fit through your canal!"
>>119513463

I never thought about it till now but do shoefags not wear some shoes they buy outside the house, just like some terrible buyfags don't open up their figmas and leave them trapped in the box?
>>119512748
I think you're mistaken.
Kancolle isn't about naval warfare, it's about navel warfare.

Now this I gotta read/watch, thanks anons.
Reminds me of the film "The Final Countdown", modern US Aircraft carrier goes back in time to 1941, F14's fighting Zeroes, good stuff.
>>119513555
Pretty much. Basically the same ideas and principles go into both hobbies. I was never into shoes but I knew a rich black kid who had a collection bigger than this.
>>119509085
>LOL XDDD
No, get out.
>>119513591
It's all about the merch.
Haven't seen it, what happens when they get hit in Kancolle?
Do they slowly sink? For some reason the thought of that is both terrifying and hilarious
>>119513062
>Maybe, but why warships for gods sake, what's next, moe spaceships?

You don't say.
Combine military/history otaku and moe pigs, sell like hotcakes.

>>119513783
Game already covers that with over 2.5 million active accounts and rising, only money Kadokawa makes is from players buying extra rings which is optional and doujinshi/official LNs, manga, and figurines.
Anime isn't required, because the game already does the job of advertising the kanmusus.
>>119513826
When you look at the shipgirls' lines, you can see that there is an underlying theme of fatalism throughout the whole game.
Speaking of which, they have lines for different levels of severity of damage and being sunk.
There is also a repair shipgirl you can deploy.
>>119513591
>free or play
Sure. Pay to win tho.
And the anime IS a 30 minutes commercial for the game. That is the main reason it got animated. Just like other game conversions (Persona, DGRP etc.)
>>119513838
Why not a GuP style animu then?
I would totally watch that, seeing those hot sweaty animu girls working the propeller shafts and cleaning the gun tubes.
>>119513929
>Pay to win tho.
Confirmed for never having played it, I guess
>>119513783
I can vouch for this, Ive never even played kancolle but I bought a rensouhou chan or whatever his name is keyring because they're just so damn adorable
>>119513929
>P2W
>Kancolle
Nope
Confirmed for having no idea what you are talking about at all, there is absolutely nothing P2W in Kancolle
Only addons you can buy are expansions to have or enlarge your fleets from more then 100 kanmusus or buy wedding rings
Stop being wrong
>>119513929
>Sure. Pay to win tho.
One of the reasons why it got so popular is because it's as far from pay to win as can be. Do any research before you start telling people how it is.
>>119513966
Not enough butts - >>119513783.
>>119513966
Little girls attempting to reload the Yamato's main cannons would be quite amusing, I'll give you that.
>>119514029
>>119514110
Or just combine them, whatever.
>>119514029
anon, a single battleship consists of about 2,000 crewmembers, if we go the GuP route that means at least 1 cute butt per every square foot, thats a lot of cute butts
It could be like GuP where they do realistic battles and its all simulated but still live ammo fired, they could even simulate battle damage by careful flooded of the lower compartments, which means cute wet butts too!
>>119514240
Also, should I finally watch GuP and give it a go?
Cute girls doing cute war things is kinda nice.
>>119514240
I see now. The possibilities!
>>119512748
Read Arpeggio then. Or don't because the ships are basically glorified skins for gravity cannons and remote drones.
>>119514393
I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
>>119513656
Yeah but in that movie they realize they're better off not messing with the past and just go back. Zipang is all about muh Nippon stronk nationalist revisionism.
>>119514393
Yes, it's pretty good.
>>119514438
As long as there are ships I guess.
On that note, any anime with cute girls and 17th century tall ships?
Maybe with cute animu pirate girls, I would watch that.
>>119514240
I thought those were gun barrels from the thumbnail.
>>119514460
>>119514580
Guess I'll have to give it a go.
>>119513656
Too bad the last scanlators dropped the series back in early 2013...shame, we were left off on a cliffhanger in Manchukuo
>>119514828
Is the anime still going or is it finished?
>>119514240
That's too many butts anon. With a crew that large the viewer wouldn't be able to bond with the butts. You have to keep the cast from getting too large or else you'll risk confusing the audience.
>>119514637
This is set during the early Victorian era rather than the 17th century and is a manga, but there is this (not translated)....
http://www.comicbunch.com/blog/hensyutyo/2013/07/
>>119514903
I take it there isn't any anime about pirates then?
There's Moretsu at least I guess.
>>119514847
The anime only covered the beginning of the manga up to just before the "Manchukuo" arc began
>>119514809
Ve gotta move!
>>119514637
Japs love ships, but they kinda missed the glorious Age of Sail. On the other hand the setting allows underage characters, even in leading positions.
>>119515004
I want to see a Patrick O'Brian-like series
>>119514899
We could do what the movie Battleship did where it took only 8 people to commandeer and operate a warship that usually requires a crew of 2,000
Or maybe automate some systems and hand wave it away. I don't know.
>>119514944
Japan's more about ninjas than pirates.Well, there's One Piece..

Only this Admiral is the real one in my headcanon. Manly as fuck.
>>119515053
It would be great if they made a series like Hornblower got, but better. O'Brian's books are just so much better. Russell Crowe made an excellent Aubrey and whoever they got for Maturin was good too. I'm not sure why they called it Master and Commander when it's almost entirely the plot of 'Far Side of the World'. Hell just make more movies. I thought MnC performed above average at the box office, surprised they didn't plan on more.
>>119516132

I'm a huge lifelong and professional tankfag, and tankfags who hate GuP for inaccuracies should probably chill the fuck out. There's not that many of them though.
Only folks worse are airsoftfags who hated Sabagebu for "not accurately representing" the chuuniest game around.
>>119519081
Love the Fuso and Kongo class for their tall masts, but Takao class cruisers had some glorious looking space age superstructure.
Quad-guns are the sexiest
>>119519127
>>Only folks worse are airsoftfags who hated Sabagebu for "not accurately representing" the chuuniest game around.
Does modern airsoft even have recoil? I mean I'd kill for some simulated recoil to make it more fun. I'd always get bored after a few games and small pranks. Now paintball is fun, though I played this paint less variety where the guns shoot rubber balls and you wear body armour fitted with sensors and an electronic scoreboard for each team, that is really fucking fun.
>>119519355
There are electric and gas blowback airsoft rifles with a decent amount of kick to them.
>>119519355
A few Gas Blowbacks have recoil. I have a GGB G17 that kicks back a fair bit.

It's funny how IJN were so huge and yet so fragile due to poor metallurgy skills.
Also it's cannons were weaker than a super dreadnought's.
>>119519606

>>119519952
It's not poor metallurgy skills if they didn't have metals to start with.
>>119520175
The little tugboat on the side is a cutie.
>>119520175
I know, man. It sucks.
But Britain sorely needed whatever metal it could get after the war.
At least it kept the Belfast. That was a cool little cruiser. If it ever got a Kanmusu, she'd be a scrappy one.
>>119520175
>>119519606
>>119519522
That is such a weird configuration but it looks really really cool.
Old fashioned, in a way. The buisness end is most definately the front.
>>119520334
One look at her you know she means business and won't turn tail, there are no rear armaments besides some 6-7" guns.
>>119520334
Would that configuration mean that its combined broadside barrages were more accurate?
>>119519952
What? IJN cannons were good. They were more accurate than USN guns.
>>119520276
It was actually both.
>>119510924
>when mixed with bauxite
That was oddly specific.
>>119521380
Their metallurgy was not poor. Their steel was just worse quality compared to US ships. US steel was actually better than German too.
>>119521484
It was. Go read articles on the topic before posting. It was quite common to fix their ships with barely fixated pieces of metal. Go and die for the emperor was the motto of the time because they knew if you needed repairs you're probably not coming back.
