So is Kancolle dead yet?
I wish but not quite yet, maybe in two years or so.
Pretty much, yeah.
>>14437953
Already halfway there.
Claiming that Kancolle will die is as stupid as claiming that sex will stop to sell.
The only thing that would make Kancolle die is a new franchise coming out with sluttier sluts and I don't think that it's possible.
i forgot about kancolle until i read OP
i would consider it already dead
>>14437953
The only thing from KanColle still alive is Trap Shimakaze.
And that's okay, we don't really need more of it.
>>14437953
It's getting there.
Less and less new art on pixiv is being posted with each passing day.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing what the upcoming C89 results will look like.
Well, we'll soon see the comiket numbers. And there is also the second season of the anime. The first will tell us how popular it still is and the second will kill it off completely.
Also the correct way to write it is KANcOLLE.
>>14438001
From now on I'm going to write Cankolle and it has a big C so fuck you you slut fucker.
>>14437953
Somehow still alive. Depending on where you draw the line, it still has a lot of life left, but it's on the decline.
>>14437953
There's a new anime coming. If it dies, it's going to be after that.
can't wait for the android port
>>14438014
Thank god. It's so fucking hard to keep up with the shimakaze tag on gelbooru.
still waiting for English version
>>14437953
canKolle will be gone by next December I am sure.
>>14437953
It does look like the steam is running out, but you can only do so much with a shitty web browser game. Of course the franchise has been hit pretty hard with delays, shitty adaptations, and really forgettable content for the last year too.
>>14438349
It's hard to keep up with the kancolle tags on boorus in general, since they decided to append EVERY boat's name with "_(kantai_collection)". I don't think anyones going to booru to look up real pics of Japanese naval ships, at least just alias them.
>>14438425

I'm sure we'll see another spike probably when it goes portable. After that though it's most likely gonna drop even faster.
>>14438001

Everyone said something like that to touhou. But it survives.
>>14438478
"Combined Fleet Girls Collection" does have a small d.
>>14438379
Yeah, not happening.
Why are 2hufags so threatened by a browser game? kancolle won't die anytime soon but granblue stole a lot of doujin artists away.
>>14438614
>granblue stole a lot of doujin artists away
From Kancolle, not Touhou.
>>14438614
But nobody but shitposters who don't care about either side gives a shit about the popularity thing.
>>14437953
It's kind of dead to me because I really just can't be bothered to play this fucking game any more, and all the official spinoffs kind of suck. Which makes me quite sad since very early on I thought the series had quite a lot of promise.
I only got into it in the first place, and am only sticking around because of what the secondary sphere has managed to produce with it.
They won't allow anyone to make any doujin games, afraid that someone might make something better than what they did.
This is one of the reasons why Touhou flourished and still continues to, while KanColle is dying a slow and painful death.
You can only get so far with just a shitty browser game.
And they're trying to shill it as much as possible before it sinks completely with the whole anime thing.
>>14438689
>This is one of the reasons why Touhou flourished and still continues to
One of but far from the only reason, I love Touhou and all the the vast majority of fangames were shit. The good ones can be counted on two hands at the most.
>You can only get so far with just a shitty browser game.
Which is why they're making a Vita and Arcade game along with other things. But you'd call that shilling right?
>>14438843
>Which is why they're making a Vita and Arcade game along with other things. But you'd call that shilling right?
No, what they're doing is milking the franchise. YOU'RE the one that's doing the shilling.
>>14438614
I don't play Touhou. I just think Kancolle is the worst thing the otaku industry has shitted out lately.
Kancolle was dead before it hit the water. The primary think keeping the fandom interested is copious (terrible) porn.
It's like OS-tan, except instead of slightly cute, it's just blatant fanservice and porn, and the game itself is derivative and not worth the effort it takes to play.
It was dead as soon as its creator had the idea for it.
>>14439931
>>14442429
What's with your obsession of pointing out small c in Kancolle?
>>14438014
i dunno. they released a new character about 3 weeks ago, and she got over 1000 images already.
>>14442497
It's hard to explain. The reason which I posted in /a/ was lost with archive.moe, and I don't feel like typing it out again.

Hmm let's see, more people are playing Fate:GO and DereMasu now. It's a single game, a pretty shitty one at that, sooner or later people will get tired of the game itself, maybe the franchise will survive--too early to tell really.
Why are Touhoufags so analblasted by another popular game? Is it just a typical case of "what I like is more popular, therefore it's better" or is there something else to all this hate?
>>14445741
It's mostly opportunistic shitposting by people who don't have an interest in Touhou or Kancolle.
There are a few 2hufags salty that Kancolle took some of their doujin circles away, and a couple more people who think it's a shitty soulless cash grab on its own merits.
>>14445741
Basically there is gripe between Touhou and KanColle in particular because:
1, many artists/circles left Touhou for the latter, and were accused of being sellouts.
2, on the other side, KanColle fans who are often also niwakas flame Touhou as being dead, inferior to their waifu simulator etc.
3, KanColle has a similar model for success as Touhou but runs contrast in its core ideas because it's a commercial produce first and foremost. This is basically like FSF vs proprietary software.
4, waifu wars, comiket booth count wars etc
>>14445741
I couldn't care less, if you actually bothered remembering for a second you'd realize that before kancolle was a thing touhou fans begged all day for their serie to be less popular and would get anal blasted every time the opposite happened.

>>14451689
Did you bump this thread from page 10 to say that Kancolle "has Reitaisai, Aki Reitaisai, Kouroumu, all with thouseands of circles participating, and a number of other smaller events"?
I'm sorry, but those are Touhou only events.
>>14451776
There are a bunch of kancolle only events you dipshit.
Some are even held as frequently as every month.
>>14451791
And of course you can name the ones with "thouseands of circles participating"

>>14453906
Interesting.
Here are some results from Google Trends - in Japan CocaColle still seem to have a bit of steam going on, but your Pixiv chart tells me it's already living off the animu masses, not committed fans per se.
>>14453906
Interesting. I think the high in the beginning is from comiket, while the anime keeps it high for kancolle. The spike for touhou is from reitaisai, then both spike for comiket. But then it gets interesting as kancolle plunges and touhou stays level and spikes a bit for autumn reitaisai. But generally touhou stays rather stabile.
Wonder how it developes over next year.
>>14455223
RIP Vocaloid

No one except /jp/ knows what Kancolle and Touhou are. Literally only you people know these series. So what does "dead" really mean? Dead to the 5-8 people that go on this dead board?
Reminder that ZUN was thankful Kankerle was a thing. He wanted competition and he wishes his work isn't overly famous.
>>14458505

I wonder how this graph was generated (is it number of entries per day? Per week? Was it done manually?), as a quick search on Pixiv now shows the following for the last 7 days:
- 3279 entries for Touhou
- 3165 entries for Kancolle
>>14455223
Damm, miku is literally dying in Japan anmd getting carried by USA. Gaijins sure are slow when it come to picking up trendy otaku culture.

Man, there are still a lot of ships from IJN, Kriegsmarine, and Regia Marina that haven't been implemented in the game. I don't think the franchise will die in one or two years, it will stay longer.
>shitty adaptations
If you mean the anime and that Shimakaze manga, then yes.
Some official mangas and that Kagerou LN are quite good.
>>14438689
>They won't allow anyone to make any doujin games
Well, Kancolle is a commercial product. Ypu can't just make a game out of an existing game.

It's definitely declining, though.

KANCERCOLLE FAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>>14437953
http://sitappa.com/
>>14462505
I'm only like, a little more than halfway through the first Kagerou LN (is it translated yet?) but it seemed kind of cliched to me, genki MC putting together a band of ragtag misfits who learn to stop hating each other and so on.
I guess if I think about it the spin they've put on some of the ships is kind of interesting, if predictable...
I think they kind of doomed the franchise by not allowing doujin games. If there were games coming out with kancolle characters that weren't mobage garbage then I might still care about it.
>>14464216
>literally get banned playing on a phone
>>14462890
Well, at least it's not bad like the anime, huh.
Also, the LN casts ships that are generally unpopular in the fandom (except for Bono and Ushio), so I think that's one of the plus points of the LN.
>>14437953
I hope. I can't really stand it the cuteifying such a bloody war. And then really REALLY *REALLY* sexualizing their characters even though they seem very young, and the lack of gameplay. Seriously this thing is only alive because of the whole "sex sells" concept.
>>14437975
Nigger I been playing Kan for over three months and went nowhere fast by losing destroyers and cruisers to RNG damage with Shitty EXP rates per sortie that takes resources (in comparison to Browsergame "Energy Bar") to do. Ships sunk are ships gone forever. That is if I don't spent the majority of my hours and day waiting for repairs to be finished.
Nowhere fast.

There's way sluttier, because in a lot of these girl collection games you actually get to fuck the girls. To begin with DMM has had a major specialization in H-games.

So it's true that some people cannot unto KanColle. Some chink translated this kuso on /a/ complaining about the game being too hard.
>>14469162
you don't even lose any ships unless you keep going with heavily damaged ships at which point you're asking for it, maybe you should read some beginner tutorials from the wiki :^)
>>14469162
You have to spend either money, or time, or find a way of making the daily grind into just another part of your routine. Half an hour a day spent right will get you very very far in half a year.
I can't be bothered with that shit; binge played a few months until I got most ships and cleared most maps before calling it a day.
>>14469213
gb2 /wowsg/ already.
>>14478052
Who are you quoting?
>>14437953
I hope so.
The devs just don't seem to care. They don't actually improve the game in any way, they don't add new content or ways to interact with your favorite ships, or really any sort of interaction between themselves apart from the short reference in a line or two out of thirty, and they don't add gameplay to the laughable concept of their "game", and instead just pretend that spinning a compass and leaving it up to RNG is sufficient.
You can't just keep making RNG-heavy, ball-busting events with yet another "rare" ship as a reward for dedicated players and call that new content. The game is full of fucking ships already, it is literally a game about collecting ships. Adding ships to your game that desperately needs other things really makes me think that you just don't know what you're doing apart from making a gallery with crowdsourced art. I mean, fuck. You've literally put so many ships in the game, you actually had to start reaching out to other nation's ships to do this shit with.
I used to play it and think the concept is pretty novel. I quit after a month after I realized I wasn't playing a game, I was wasting my time being miserable. I sincerely expected something else to come out of it but now I just want it out of the way so the next thing with cute girls can come in.
>>14445741

true shit
took me almost 2 years to quit, at which point i was sick and tired of rolling dice and wasting time in frustration for no purpose. it got stale a few months after release, but i kept on playing until the middle of this year because I hate myself that much
devs are also shit and slow when it comes to adding new content. they just don't care about the game or the players and want to milk the franchise for money for as long as possible with minimal effort.

Does KanColle have any sort of story or substantial worldbuilding to it?

When I started playing it, I started to feel indignant towards Touhou fans on /jp/ since they really seem to despise it. I always wondered why both couldn't exist on the same space. Now I kind of understand, Touhou is ten times the game Kancolle is ever probably going to be (as in, Touhou is an actual game), and Touhou has interesting characters that you can relate to. At some point you may even learn something about Youkai perhaps. Touhou also has universally above-average soundtracks while Kancolle has... six or seven backdrops at most, I think.
Kancolle has... damaged sprite art. There's glossary entries for the ships but... you'd have more fun reading a wikipedia entry with about the same level of involvement. This really seeps into the secondary aspect of it too where the only plot point 90% of doujin artists can come to is how much in love all the shippos are with the admiral. Such is the shallow level of "plot" kancolle has.
>>14493734
you'll get over it once you realize you don't need a story for a game. Doujin artists create their own stories and inside jokes from their game experiences and KC events

Waifuretards loved it because they could pretend that they married their waifu. Kadokawa even gave them a futon for pretend sex.
Everybody else was either angry at the obvious cashgrab or instantly went back to Touhou.
>>14514128
>capital C
No, he is clearly appraising people who use small letter since it's the only correct way of writing that word. Just like
* Amphetamine: alpha-methyl-phenethylamine
* Gestapo: Geheime Staatspolizei ('secret state police')
* Interpol: International Police
* Nabisco: National Biscuit Company
You could write it with capital C only if company would register a trademark using that name (e.g. Microsoft's PowerPoint™). But that's not the case.
Kancolle!

>Marriage bullshit was the start.

Oh wow, this thread is still alive. Also I just checked timestamps and all posts that bumped this thread from page 10 belong to boatfags. Yeah, it's totally not dying.
>>14514103
Marriage wasn't a bad idea, but it did nothing for the game itself besides adding a few extra lines of dialogue to your secretary ship.
You can check this shit for free on kancolle viewer instead of paying five dollars for it. Yeah, it increases the ship's level cap, but at that point, I'd rather the mechanic be called something *else* besides marriage, since marriage and level cap aren't really two concepts that go together... at all.
I.E. It's pointless and doesn't add much to the game besides more grinding, which the game is already full of. I'd rather have a mechanic to feed my ships with sweets or something to give them temporary stat boosts AND by extension, increase an invisible affection rating that unlocks more content relevant to that ship.
>>14518629
>Marriage wasn't a bad idea
I'm glad your turbo ota kind is fine with it but such blatant otaku pandering is not OK. It's degrading both for otaku and kanmusu. Not to mention they betrayed their core fanbase of casual mobile gamers and cut off the game's mainstream appeal.

He did it to kill off old kancolle thread. He has agenda that we're not allowed to post in thread after it reaches bump limit so when he sees we stay in the thread until later pages, he bumps every other thread on the board with some shitposts and creates his own, shitty thread.
Everyone in KanColle threads wishes he died already.

Hourai Gekisen, Yoi!! is the flagship Kancolle banner and has been occurring monthly, though I think they may have dropped to by-monthly. The main ones are 1000SP events in Tokyo but they alternate it with a small event that travels around the country.
Kancolle will live to see 2hu die.
