Kantai Collection / KanColle Movie

The flaws of the movie are glaringly obvious, but what are the things that were done well and we should've had more of?

More SoL, more fluff, more fairies. No one wants grimderp stuff.

Not sure about the movie, but the DesDiv 6 cooking episode of the anime was the one done well and the SoL we should have had more of.

The story was more retarded than ever, but at least they didn't jump between genres like schizos this time. That alone was a huge improvement.

S2 should be a plotless comedy SoL.

Just make a short anime following the fairies going about their business and dealing with the ship girls.

Hi

Was it me or was Yuudachi extra sexy?

She was unfortunately extra retard. Ramped up the poi too much.

...

Sup long hoppou

Less melodrama and dark shit.
More funny moments centered on the wackier characters and a more lighthearted and cute role for the abyss fleet.

They don't even give a fuck on the other side material, why people think that they ever going do something good with abyssals.

I like them, but at this point it's useless.

She was the most graceful on the water and got the most style points.

Abyssals always looked to me like they would work better like rivals instead of just random foes.

I'm just posting stuff that could make the anime better, so far I think this is one of the parts in which the franchise fucks up the most.

>make the enemy resemble cute young women
>treat them like monsters
I never liked this no matter how hard I try.

Abyssals have really unique aesthetics. I prefer abyssal design more than most shipgirls, the whole mechanic theme is quite interesting, but it also could explain a bit the boats.

Shame that nobody gives a fuck and they aren't going dig that deeper, the anime tried but the execution is shit. Not using them for some kind of spin off is also a crime.

We can only hope more competent people get to handle S2. Quite unlikely though.

The anime used the least interesting explanation. It's basically just a cheap way to revive a character that did nothing important and make the abyss fleet less interesting because at best they'll just do a "oh defeat her to have x back" instead f actually writing some sort of motivation or anything intriguing about them.

Swords did the right thing by making 2 different anime.

But well, Kadokawa seems to never touch the abyssals aside for promotional stuff. I really doubt that they ever going do something with them.

Who is the cutest ship and why is it Yuudachi?

At least fleet of fog had a damn motivation.

THE YURI QUEEN DOES IT AGAIN!

>It's basically just a cheap way to revive a character that did nothing important
The entire movie is so shit it was basically a long episode to bring a redshirt back. Also giving more screen time and importance to ugly oc abyssals over the ones in the game was fucking stupid.

The fact that she sank once kind of contradicts the idea brought forward by the series, where they were doomed to repeat history ad literam (until they manage to go off the historical rails).

>where they were doomed to repeat history ad literam
Where is this idea coming from?

In the movie its clearly said the goal is to sink the abyssal fleet while avoiding letting any ship girls sink and also become abyssals.

The last episodes of the anime.

>In the movie its clearly said the goal is to sink the abyssal fleet while avoiding letting any ship girls sink and also become abyssals.
Well yeah but in the series, prior to Akagi going "wait, perhaps we shouldn't do it like this", the battles were recreations of the WWII ones. Kaga (and Fubuki) having sunk before basically throw this whole avoid the mistakes of the past narrative down the drain.

I just don't get why the TV show didn't just have mostly slice of life, Jokes poking fun at the game and at least having the more popular characters show up.

Instead they tried to make it serious and the tone was all over the place. They also butchered Ooi so hard just to make WOAH YURI LOL jokes. It felt like 6 different writers were making different projects and they just slammed it all together.

I would have liked it better if each episode was a storyline involving a group of ships, 1 episode with the sendai class, 1 with the kuma class, another with all the battleship girls, etc. Instead, it's just a garbled mess that tried way to hard.

With Bucky in the center.

>I would have liked it better if each episode was a storyline involving a group of ships, 1 episode with the sendai class, 1 with the kuma class, another with all the battleship girls, etc.
I vaguely remember an interview where they stated it was going to be more like that, but I'm not sure if it was before or after it got delayed.

The TV series does seem to have traces of an episodic setup left, except with a shitty and poorly planned story on top, so I guess a higher up just didn't like the idea and made them change it or whatever..

>we should've had more of?
More kongou

more Yuudachi.

I know mate. I dont get the multiple directions and changing directors every episode.
It could of have been a show that took place from the point of view of beaver and all the other ship girls dying tragic deaths around her or just stupid SOL shit. Either would of been cool but whatever.

What if Yahagi is the new MC?

More fairies. There's never enough fairies.

Thought it was looping for a second there.

!

Best I could do is this.

Don't make Fubuki a shit mary sue.

Even if the show was SOL, focusing heavily on wanking her would make it still shit.

You can crop it so that we only see the fairy on the left, that would allow a loop.

Good idea, thanks.

Naisu.

So why was Kisaragi wearing Kai Ni clothes? She'd just dropped from farming transports, this doesn't make sense.

I don't remember this part, what episode is this from?

Wasn't it the first episode?

I'd like to provide a proposition. Many of you will call me a heretic, but I only recently got into FATE Series, and I just finished watching all the GudaGuda Order episodes. They were so hilarious and it had maximum rewatch value. I can't stop repeating all 9 episodes at work (listening while I work, I work in warehouse environment) and at night when I return home. The different characters interacting with each other in unimaginable and ironic ways is simply too charming.

Simply put, even if animation is utter Windows Powerpoint shit, if KC had this sort of route, I think it'd be very enjoyable. Thoughts?

I agree, it's just a formula that works well with big casts of characters. At worst it's just silly fun which is way better than awful drama that takes itself too seriously.

Atago is such a slut/tease. No wonder I luv her. Too bad she had no lines in the movie.

I mean, corporations can be pretty fucking dense and retarded, if not stubborn. I literally spent the whole fucking day listening to GudaGuda Order on YouTube on Thursday. My manager was like "wtf are you listening to, son," but anyways I just loved every single reaction from Mordred and Saber Lily... if we translated that to KC, I'd say characters involving drunk characters and battleships would be pure amusing with a hint of an adult theme. I don't even care about the animation from GudaGuda, it was already charming in its own way and I have this urge to try out FGO now.

Though, I'd prefer if an SOL anime isn't a direct rip of "Fubuki Ganbarimasu manga," that series was kind of boring for me, in my honest opinion.

Why no Maizuru vol 15 raws?

>More SoL, more fluff, more fairies. No one wants grimderp stuff.

Why not split into 2 different series? One be SOL comedic fluff while the other more story driven.

When's S2? Or did they quietly cancel it?

There was never a season 2. They only announce the continuation project and it was this movie

this was the best part of the movie

>The anime's official Twitter account indicates that the movie and the sequel are separate projects that are going into production at the same time

Did Reppuu's dog at least show up?

>story driven
And they've demonstrated a complete inability to do that. They've had two chances, either scrap it all or give it to someone else.

U wot m8?

>dog

Wrong dog.

If Akitsu Maru is wrong, I don't want to be right.

>going into production at the same time
So it's been in "production" for over 2 years with nothing to show? Shit's probably canceled by now.

My wife Ooi is cute

Mad Bucky.

Is the movie any good?

All I know from Kancolle are the doujins and that Tatsuta best girl. I did watch the anime, but I don't remember a single thing from it other than Yamato being a best

Is the movie worth anything if I barely care about Kancolle?

No it's shit.

God I love it when people actually draw Yamato big

It's worse than the anime.

>if I barely care about Kancolle?
It's better than the TV series so you might get some entertainment out of it.

...

No it isn't.

It's pretty awful, even if you don't know too much about the franchise it's not very entertaining.

Spin-off of Suzuya's enjo kosai adventures when?

No, I mean tall big. Not boobs big. I can get plenty of art with her as a munchkin with huge cans. I like an accurate depiction.

Besides, the bitch pads. And I'm okay with that.

It's got more of the bad aspects and less of the good parts, the animation is pretty underwhelming for a movie too.

She only wants to be with (You).

I really don't buy that

>buy
I know. You have to earn her love, same with all the kanmusu.

The difference is that it actually works as a standalone work and doesn't suffer from the tonal problems of the anime series. It's not a great work by any stretch of the imagination, but between the movie or the anime, I'd pick the movie, particularly so if someone isn't already into Kancolle beforehand.

Big bucky

It doesn't, characters aren't properly introduced so they will feel even less interesting for someone who skipped the anime or is unfamiliar with the franchise. It might not suffer from tonal problems but that's because you have even more awful drama over silly and fun scenes which were one of the few redeeming qualities of the anime.

There was so much drama and literally every character was angsty. Where was the fun loving Atago and Ooi of the TV series?

best girl

>We didn't bully Mutsuki and Kisaragi enough in the TV series, so let's bring her back and torture them both.
I was one epilogue away from being really upset.

Compared to who?

>"Silver Kamoi" manga and anime
Soon.

Is this OC? or just the anime stitched together?

...

Sequel. It didn't really feel like it was worth the time to watch it though.

If they had tried to put "fun and silly scenes" in the movie you know they would have fucked it up even more. The plot was bad but at least they actually managed to do something with it instead of making another mess that didn't go anywhere.

I'm also relieved that the story is now complete and there's room for an actual reboot, but I guess that's another matter.

>If they had tried to put "fun and silly scenes" in the movie you know they would have fucked it up even more
In proper hands they would have toned done the shitty drama so that the fun moments don't feel out of place.
>The plot was bad but at least they actually managed to do something with it.
It managed to do something terrible, even a mess that goes nowhere like the anime has this moments were the writing stops taking itself so fucking seriously and just decides to go for fun episodes that again, were the only good parts from that mess. The movie might tell a complete story this time, but it's so bad I wouldn't even count it as a plus when a nonsensical mess can end up being more fun despite having a plot that goes nowhere.

>The movie might tell a complete story this time, but it's so bad I wouldn't even count it as a plus when a nonsensical mess can end up being more fun despite having a plot that goes nowhere.
This desu. At least 2 episodes of the anime were mildly enjoyable, the entirety of the movie felt like shit to me.

They should learn from Strike Witches about perfect amount of SOL, action and drama.
Remember Sanya and Eila episode from first season? Or Minna crushing neuroi with her butt? Or movie finale?
That's how do it.
But KanColle is apparently serious fucking business, a war drama with cute girls.

kancolle is basically strike witches with boats. Both protags matured into some sort of Kira Yamato mary-sue.

drama and blood aside, a few subtle historical accuracy tidbits and remixed game soundtracks made the movie not that bad.

I came here only for the cute screenshots.

Anime Buki is so cute.
