Review of KanColle

It must be great for Japan to have this incredible power to rewrite its own history; to tell its kids that "the Japanese were just minding their own collective business when America just came in, killed hundreds of thousands of people, and gave them two holes in their ground." Japan's brainwashing power at its greatest. But check the Wikipedia, and every non-Japanese history book, mind you... And there are stories about the bloody inter-Asian conflicts (even before WWII); the non-aggression pacts with Jew-murdering Nazi Germany and Italy; fake states like Manchuria; slaughter; cannibalism; and the Imperial Japan's eventual downfall because of the ticking off ofAmericans, Russia, and China (because they were having their own civil war).

You will find little in terms of "historical accuracy" in Kantai Collection; an anime based on a web-browser game that's basically "Strike Witches on a boat." Some upskirt panty shots while in "part-time computer-generated" action and all.

No, I'm wrong. It's not "Strike Witches on a boat." Strike Witches featured more characters from around the world sorta.

I mainly disliked the series because it's basically "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things." And, outside of the sinking of Kisarage; there was no effort from the people behind this animu to show the shipgirls as anything but victorious and invincible.

I also disliked it because there's no effort to delve further into the enemy; the Abyssmals. Who are they? Where do they come from? Why is it so important for the Japanese shipgirls to "take the sea back" from them? Why is it not the job of everyone else around that general area? How can we non-KanColle-players NOT know that the Abyssmals are the placeholders for the "evil Americans?" who came and kicked their their racist imperialist butts? I know it's an alternate universe but hey.
