The first glimpse of Kantai Collection‘s much anticipated anime adaptation has sailed into view in the form of character designs for three ships – bearing a suspiciously if not promisingly close resemblance to the style which propelled another mecha-musume anime to victory.
The bombardment of interest in these designs immediately sunk the show’s site, but the images fortunately surfaced amongst the flotsam:
The regular aircraft carrier Akagi, voiced by Saki Fujita:
The regular aircraft carrier Kaga, voiced by Yuka Iguchi:
The destroyer Fubuki, voiced by Sumire Uesaka:
Shimakaze is evidently being saved for last…

You cant do this D':
hmm in strike witches character design faces kinda skinny
btw image of 2 and 3 are switched
And so it begins...
Where is my Musashi? =(
Doesn't matter. Magipoka season 2 first.
The names are reversed.
Will the protagonist be 'Protagonist'?
It will be Admiral or Admiral-san like Producer-san in iDOLM@STER.
Will Naka-chan attempt to murder TTK like Haruka did to P-san?
In an interview with the producer earlier this year, it is confirmed that the entire anime will be told in the perspective of Fubuki herself.
needs more kongo desu!
Atago-chan! Where is my Atago!
The pictures for Kaga and Fubuki are switched
No Kongou and no Shimakaze and this isn't even Kantai Collection anymore.
Did you read the last line?
"Shimakaze is evidently being saved for last…"
おーぅ！
Come on, Kongou and Shimakaze don't represent the whole thing. Yes, they constantly rank among the most liked but Akagi and Kaga are both good enough to represent Kan Colle i think.
I'll give you Akagi, Tatsuta and Tenryuu (though more Tenryuu), but two of the three of those girls up there are kind of just boring.
I don't care the slightest bit about the game itself, but KAGA IS MOE.
What gave you any indication that the show will only feature these girls? Don't jump the gun.
Want my Kongou and my Shoukaku now!
You mixed up Kaga and Fubuki
It was only a matter of time...
This
is
The
Breakage of combos?
this would have happened to touhou long ago if zun had allowed it. alas its not to be. perhaps for the better. touhou propagated as strongly as it did in my opinion because at its core, it lacked enough substance for fans to inject their own personalities into the characters. completely unimportant characters like daiyousei and even made up characters be hakurei miko can happen because of the lack of a strong central lore.
maybe this is the best successful example of the silent protagonist trope of the jrpgs. have an empty character and the fans will fill out enough details to love.
lmfao I can already tell this is overhyped garbage. Otaku will eat whatever shit you throw at them so long as the girls are cute enough.
its a win win situation. everybody is happy
I hope it's a good story, not just "ecchi" or "hentai"
we all know that's not going to happen.
you don't watch anime if you want good story
It's true.. if I want a good Japanese story I watch their classic movies. Ozu, Kurosawa, etc. Anime is just fun.
Prepare for the most generic cash in. There's going to be no soul in this show. It'll be pure moe trash and people will gobble this garbage up.
Or... They will actually make a heartbreaking story with all sunk IRL ships really sunk. Yes, Shimakaze too, there's no place for thong-clad lolis on war.
Considering how many Japanese ships USA and Russia sunk in WW2, this can turn out to be very, very gory.
And most of the pilots depicted in Strike Witches were killed in the war. Didn't happen in the show. Don't hold your breath.
Read the official Kantai Collection Manga Books, it is basicly Strike Witches 2.
I would so much love to watch this!
I wonder if Shimakaze's design alone will change the rating of this anime.
Not without Kongou
My bauxite... is ready
Your bauxite will never be ready for Akagi..
I liked arpeggio blue steel, and not quite sure what they're going to do with this, but I guess we'll have to wait and see
wheres shimakaze?????
I never thought that my interest in Naval history would ever help me in this way. Rule 34 at it's best considering the massive amounts of doujinshi that we've already seen generated from KanColle.
I hope there is some good guro in this series. I want to see these ships blowing up each other with limbs and stuff hanging off. It would only make sense.
But if a ship is hit, it doesn't get torn "limb from limb" like a human, it takes a hell of a lot of hits. And shouldn't they be swimming around in the ocean constantly if they're gonna be that accurate?
You are right in that sense. Its just that when you get into naval combat which is very real, I would love to see it translated into something horrific for these cute (ships).
If its magic and stuff like strike witches I don't give a damn. This could be a poingnent way to teach a version of history. I hope the girls really act like the ships they represent.
gurocon
Actually I prefer Russian kids fucking. Their white skin let's you see elbow and knee bruises better.
