Devoted fanatics of the highly popular Kantai Collection craze have hastened to identify the real world location that the show’s naval base was modeled after, naturally providing comparison shots for viewers to scrutinize the differences and similarities.
Comparison of Hiroshima’s Etajima naval base and Kantai Collection’s depot:
Now Kancolle is getting more look like Yuri Kuma Arashi. Those poor girls are getting killed tragically. Unlike Strike Witches, I never heard a single witch get killed. At least it’s not gory.
Yay!
this is coz artists, got no originality – they are all sheeples.
also boost to tourism LOL
Eh, taking inspiration from real world landmarks is not bad at all.
After all, they’re not supposed to be professional building architects first.
So the abysmals are actually Americans? After Kisaragi gets killed in episode 3 we have the Wake Island scenario playing out.
what happens in the anime IS very similar to what happened to the kisaragi at wake….in real life the ship was sunk by an F4F wildcat who’s bomb hit the destroyer’s depth charges as it was trying to leave the battle zone, creating an explosion that sank the ship with all hands.

No and Yes. The ABYSSALS are a conglomerate of ships that have already sunk. Some are Japanese, some are American, and there are many others from other countries. They’re basically ship zombies. (hell a few of them are WWI era ships)
America and Europe have their own Kantai Fleets fighting the Abyssals as well.
it’s basically strike witches on water
and a bit less fanservice
Kisaragi dies in Ep 3. But the explosion exposes some underwear so I guess for Japanese otaku it’s a win.
How fitting, dying early as the real Kisargi was sunk 4 days after pearl harbour.
Oh no, the spoilerz! I would care but, tell me, which one was Kisaragi again?
Fucking Google it man.
I have to know – does doing this(finding the 3D base)have any incentive? Is the location getting upgraded etc. etc.?
