1: Kancolle is a mobage not a card game.

2: Kancolle is CRAZY popular, it is literally the next Touhou (mainly by being thinly-veiled nationalistic propaganda that appeals to the reactionary right-wingers that are growing amongst Japan's youth but that's another story)

Fence: Ah, I somehow mind-farted on that one. Yeah, it's a browser game.

Despite my comment I actually like the game somewhat or at least the characters since I can't play it because I'm a dirty gaijin.

Yes, I know. You can use a VPN and IP trickery to get around the block but I don't feel like it especially as the game just doesn't really appeal to me on a gameplay-level (since it seems to be mostly randomized once you're actually on the field).

That and I don't have mad cash to spend on Pay2Win games.

Still, how the theory goes that in Japan nobody above the age of 12 besides a few hardcore otaku watches anime is consistent with such news?
