Livewatch and discussion
Is Akagi alive yet?
Kongou class has saved the anime. I don't care what happens now Kongou class has been great so far.
2chan thread?
>>120507149
The livewatch is over m8
>>120507856
That's what I meant. If it wasn't for episode 3 we wouldn't have any of the hamfisted drama in this episode, it would have just been pure fun.
And it was, mostly. I'm sure people will find ways to be utterly asspained about it though.
Place your bets /a/, who will win next week? Turkey vs. Yakitori.
>>120507216
All my favorite ships were in this episodeespecially Shiranui
>>120507871
You'll notice that it was started when the episode was airing.
reading the posts as it went on was the best.
All Kongou are best.
Kongou is bestest, so.
>>120507902
stop being butthurt
>>120507902
Why can't it be both? Shows have "A" and "B" plots all the fucking time. It's not like the game has a plot that needs sticking to.
NEXT EPISODE: KAGA DOING TURKEY THINGS
Can we pretend that episodes 1-3 didn't happen and that the anime is saved
Sabagebu anime's writer wrote this episode.
Who think this is good idea though, i mean he's good but doesn't fit a episode righter after someone died
WHY IS KONGOU SO BEST?
not enough poi this episode
Houshou was the true highlight!
The episode was so bad
10/10 episode, I want more Kongou class antics but I'll deal with Kaga vs. Zuikaku for now.
>>120507976
But it was only for a second.

WHY IS KONGOU SO DAMN BASED?
This episode is everything about failure
>pointless meme span
>inconsistent scenario
>plot almost non-existent
>each scenes connected almost as awkward as Kamui's face
Anyone in charge of making this must be put on a god damn court marshal
>>120507976
Anyone has the webm of Houshou purificate Shimakaze?
>>120507955
Or maybe it's exactly that. Things don't just grind to a halt because someone died and someone else is sad for it, especially not in the middle of a war.
>>120507149
KONGOU DES
Kisaragi died for nothing because she has already been forgotten
>>120507988
It really is only going to get worse from here on.
Based Kongou saved the anime.
Introduced this episode:
Nachi
Myokou
Houshou
Shiranui
Did I forget anyone
>>120507946
Because they were terrible at juggling both, making the last moment with thetwo DD cryingquite boring.
>this episode will also have Naka-chan!
>1 minute of screentime
Damn the Kongou-class to hell. The Sendais are far more fun to watch.
>>120508040
Yes
>>120508040
Haguro?
>>120507955
Yeah, kinda feels off when the rest of the base kinda forget Kisaragi exists at all.
Either that or the seniors are accustomed to losing people in war occasionally, Akagi's speech seems to indicate that.
>>120508040
I missed Nui Nui, have the nips posted a screen?
>>120508010
So, this episode is pure RNG? I like it.
>>120507958
She learned from the best
dat Kongou power
More of her manga never.
>>120508021
The last 5 minutes felt out of place, but it's exactly what you said. It shouldn't really stop everyone else from doing their own thing just because Kisaragi is gone but as a viewer, it still feels weird.
>>120507988
>Glasslip level
>>120508062It was Kagerou
>>120508068
Now where is the page when she throws Wo away with her bare hand?
>>120508055
>>120508059
I mixed up Myokou and Haguro. My mistake.
>>120508088
Fuck.
>Welcome to the Word of Yuri Boat Animu u guyz.
>>120508021
That's right and someone's death doesn't stop the entire world indeed. The problem with this anime is that everything, even right things, are executed so poorly that it's nothing but cringe-worthy experience to watch them. Fucked up pacing, fanfic-tier meme span(hell, even most of those memes are fan made after all)...things just don't make sense in this anime. And to see so many people unironically defending this episode is just beyond me.
>>120507149
>make it serious
>also make it SOL
Damn it Diomedia
>>120508088
It was both nuinui and kagerou in one scene, kagerou and naka in next one.
>>120508004
well, cant argue with that logic.
This is the fucking definition of forced drama. It exists only for itself. There's really no other reason. I mean, you make 18 minutes of stoner genki sol then shoehorn in 2 minutes of drama. Why?
Bad:
Does anyone give a fuck about Kisaragi's sink?
Why make it so fucking happy?Especially when one of the fleet members died?
Do destroyers have no rights?
Good:

Life goes on maybe? You'll appreciate the value of not being down in the dumps all the time when you've actually lost someone important sometime.
>>120508184
Shipgirls not in the anime should fuck off
Ooyodo isn't amused.
>>120508166
>It's called being able to have fun
Having fun while ignoring all those stupidity is stupidity itself. And
>alot of the shit is legit canon
Just because so many fanboys believe it to be canon doesn't make it so
>>120508183
what was that bit where Kagerou was messing with Naka-chan
>This episode
So will this be a roller coaster ride of fun and sorrow?
>>120508183
The anime is saved! Praise Nui Nui!
>>120508140
Seriously, for what fucking purpose did they add this in for? It was like the worst kind of fan material all rolled up together, sure the girls in the game had some unique personalities but this is beyond stupid.

Kongou is beyond stupid and Genki.
>>120508221
She looks like she's enjoying it secretly though. I mean, look at how big and fluffy Kongou looks like. She's probably a great hugger.
Shut up and post more Kongou.
>>120508243
Kongou has never made sense, get used to it.
>What? An episode about the Kongou sisters being wacky? What the fuck???

Can't wait for the Kaga and Zuikaku antics next week.

>>120508243
It's disappointing that Haruna wasn't the only one self-conscious about it like in other official works, instead she's just a daijoubu Hiei. But the rest were true to form.
>>120508262
I spotted an Atago but the others are to blurry for my eyes
>Kongou episode followed by a Kaga episode
Looks like they know who the most popular girls are.
>>120508312
Kongous weren't attached to Kisaragi.
>>120508274
Look, they may have energetic and unique personalities, but they were never the retard squad.

Oh Shimakaze.
Why so many seem to be satisfied for last 4 weeks? Am I the only one who've expected something better than this out of Kancolle? Are you guys REALLY entertained by this? Absolutely no agony about all the wasted potentials?

>>120508340
Torpedo Goddess episode when?
>>120508312
Fubuki didn't actually know Kisaragi that much and she didn't pretend it didn't happen, in fact it was Mutsuki that was looking away. Fubuki moved on, she understands it's a war and shit happens. Kongous should also be used to knowing that some girls will sink and they can't do anything about it so why be depressed when they can enjoy their time?
>>120508189
Same happens in Mondaiji and meh.
yes, this is better than bazillion other card games adaptation already
>>120508262
Kuma, Tama, Atago, Takao, Asashio and two of her sisters maybe? Kitakami and Ooi? 2 Shiratusyus maybe? and dunno.
>>120508357
Every existing thing is wasted potential to me so I stopped caring.
>>120508340
Why are you posting a waifu image in a yuri thread?
>>120508309
That might've made sense if Fubuki was the flagship.
>>120500643
Don't you mean "the WARSHIP the shrine of the D"
>>120508357

>>120508371
She has Rensouhou-chan.
>>120508357
>Am I the only one who've expected something better than this out of Kancolle?
Yes, yes you are. Everyone here (except you it seems) had zero expectations for the anime. It's your own fault.
>>120508357
I was expecting way worse.
>>120508416
she's taking a picture
>>120508357
I just want to see my shipfus get animated, everything else is a bonus.
>>120508340
If you mean the most popular for yuri then yeah.
>>120508406
Just for you.
>>120508312
>>120508342
>>120508391
I believe that anon are going to be just as cold after having heard about the death of their own fellow countrymen. Sure, you will say "condolences," but you've other things to do such as ship posting.
>>120508422
I had zero expectations and yet I am still disappointed.
was Kaga in the episode?
>>120508440
Especially if it happens often.
>>120508357
My enjoyment is proportional to screen time my favorites girl get, it's not a rocket science.
>>120508357
Why are you still watching this anyway? Every secondary dropped this shit since episode one.
>All that Kongou singing and dancing
Bet this is what we're gonna see next episode.
>>120508417

>>120508490

>>120508511
hell yeah.
>>120508511
We need more lesbians in this show.
>>120508475
No but there'll be plenty next episode.
>>120508521
Naganami or Amatsukaze will show up eventually, r-right?
There seems to be a huge amount of Kancolle experts who claimed to have great understanding of which is canon and fanon crawled out of the wood this time.
>>120508205
I wonder if the TTK is not around because he didn't want a 20k+ ton BB that can punch 16inch shells to jump and squash an ordinary human.
>>120508521
Amatsukaze kinda puts up with her but she probably won't be appearing in the anime.
>>120508549
Too bad the next episode is about Kaga.
>>120508243
I've always thought their characters were rather mild if I were to follow their in-game quotes, but the anime somehow decided to crank it up to a level I am not even sure if it's fanservice or retarded.
>>120508563
Except she's be full lesbian unlike the shitty picture that you posted.
>>120508556
They look like sluts
>>120508563
How come? Was there a preview attached at the end for once?
>>120508247

>>120508302
>implying there's enough of a story for holes to matter
>>120508588
Or he really knew he'd be having her in his office so he decided to have Nagato handle everything.Oh who am I kidding, let's write him off the story already.
>>120508591
That's good then since she's the yuri queen of Kancolle, and since there's no males at all in this anime there would be no reason why she wouldn't be.
>>120508344
Maybe they are pretending to be retarded to cheer up Buki?
>>120508594
Thank god you don't work for Diomedea.
>>120508608
Next episode's title is "Don't put me together with 5th Carrier Division's kids. " said with Kaga's voice.
Did you know that there are people systematically posting Kaga in all threads in a flawed attempt to raise her popularity amongst fans? Remember to never be easily taken by Kaga posters and always critically analyse which are your favorite kanmusus.
Will Hotel have some screentime?
>>120508678
Oh ok
I hope it's not a comedy episode
So how many of you are still gonna be watching next week just out of love for the franchise?
Japanese reaction is essentially "what the fuck oh well at least it's fun SoL now thank you hanada"
>>120508628
Go back to the expedition fleet, Tenryuu.
>>120508698
I will. It's actually a rollercoaster ride.
>>120508357
Have you played the game? It has no plot, everything is magic and doesn't get explained at all, for all we know Kisaragi could show up again... maybe. They're not following the historical "plot" but some ships are expected to sink given that the Teitoku is the only teitoku of this world and shit happens. The mood change or no change at all is probably due to the nature of the game, the girls have no lines for when some of their comrades sink they just keep being themselves even if you feel like shit for sinking one.
>>120508588
There is no admiral, there is literally no admiral. They might talk about there being an admiral, but there is literally no admiral in this anime. They might as well all be suffering from the same delusion that someone is running that naval base and that the chair behind the desk isn't empty.
>>120508309
I don;t see a problem with this. Battleship armor deflecting a low caliber round isn't unheard of.
>>120508695

I was thinking of dropping it/carrying on out of duty before this episode, but if it's like this from now on I might genuinely start enjoying it.

Which is another way of saying that Kaga is loved by talented artists who devote time and care to pictures of her. While waifubaits like Kongo just has shitty drawings of her spammed by 13 year olds on pixiv

>>120508709
She's on break.. I think
(looks at image related)
>>120508685

The only reason why Kaga is popular is because she has the most yuri pictures out of all the girls.

I think this episode really shows what the show should have been; A sketch show with the Characters doing their thing and little to no connecting tissue between the sketches besides the characters.
>>120508696
You can't have a serious story with Zuikaku around.
>>120508787
Why adding the sinking mechanic at all? It is already a fanservice anime for fans of the game. The writing is simply shit.
>>120508867
>>120508869
Don't worry. The characters will be doing their own things and then a few of them will die for the sake of historical accuracy.

It's a character driven show, not a plot driven show, just enjoy the wacky ride, let's not pretend Kancolle is some sort of masterpiece, don't lie to yourself thinking this whole thing had a plot prepared, those who picked the game didn't do it thinking "wow this thing has some serious plot", the game doesn't have anything besides collecting your favorite girls and submitting yourself to the wonders of RNG, c'mon, we're all here expecting to see how much screen time our favorite ship gets and that's all.

Do you even grief, anon? Deaths are always "pointless", especially war deaths. Kisaragi lives on in the hearts of her friends, and that's all there really is to it. Mutsuki and Fubuki learned something about loss and dealing with it, and had a good cry in the sunset.
Look, I can understand if Kisaragi was your shipfu and you're mad she got fridged, or if you're mad that they're not recreating World War 2, or even if you're mad that the show is as much an insane juxtaposition of absurd antics with grim war drama, and is as such disrespectful of history (which is a valid argument), but "pointless" is absolutely the wrong complaint to level at Kisaragi's passing, at least at this point.
If by the end of it all then it looks like Mutsuki has learned or gained nothing from her sister's death, or if there's been no other plot or character-related development, then yeah, you can call it cheap and underutilized. But not right now.
