Review of KanColle

Kantai Collection -KanColle- is an anime that tell us a story about how the humans lost the control over the sea because a new enemy known as the Abyssal Fleet conquered it... The story of KanColle begins with a short battle showing what are de "Kanmusu" or Shipgirls, that are girls with the power of ancient ships of the Japanese Navy (It's based on a Browser Game where there're ships from USA, Italia, German... too but in the anime only appears the Japanese, for the moment I hope) And then the plot begins, the first that we saw after this it's a plane flying by thesky and a girl, Fubuki, seeing the plane. The anime will be narrated by the point of view of Fubuki. The first episode is the typical episode that introduce you the anime. The problem is the lack of development of Fubuki, she has development but it's null... I mean, we will know that in so moments she is a brilliant person who could know what it's going on only because a warning that the secretary ship gave to her. But this fall it's forgotten because the anime doesn't care about her. The anime only care about HER GOALS. Or this is how I interpreted it.

The characters... well in this anime we have a lot of cute shipgirls, like Akagi, Kaga, Kongou... they're very interesting characters, the relationships in this anime are so important, for example Kaga has a kind of senpai over the 5th Division of Aircraft, we're Shoukaku and Zuikaku, and it's based on historical references. The First Division have jokes over the Fifth Division. And Kaga always has some dialogues like "I don't want to be near the fifth division" but in the end it show that Kaga feel like the first division must have a senpai role over the Fifth. Other relationships are in more "romance" tone, probably because the historical counterpart fights along or because the historical counterpart was worried abount her in the last battle... This "romance" are ok, because you can see that they're humans. There're a moment where the Secretary Ship, Nagato blushes because Mutsu (Her sister ship) says that NAGATO it's important to her.

The sound well... I can only remember the Opening and the Ending... and a few parts of the OST...

The Art it's... well there're part very well animated but others have a weird CGI that could make to close the episode, because in some points it's a very annoying CGI.

But in the end this could be one of my top 10 favorites animes. It's because KanColle was the first anime what made me interested the characters instead the battles.
