This is the second social title announced this year, DMM are on a roll, hopefully it will be ported to vita same with Oshiro Collection. NND won't be able to handle the TGS flood if there is a Kancolle stream, expect server madness for those who want to watch the stream if it happens.

As someone who loves gijinka I'm always almost offended at how lazy the Kancolle character designs are, and that continues here. A good gijinka should be more than just a fetish outfit with bits of machinery hovering around her.

 DMM's competitor, dlsite, allows full access to everything. Anyways, I can get around the geoblock with a proxy.
And it's strange, I can't find any Kancolle ero-doujin on DMM. Only a few regular manga show up. Maybe I'm searching wrong but I wonder if this is due to (an ironic) policy |

Seconded, I wish the character designers incorporated more into the actual characters. The hovering equipment struck me as a bit lazy. I'm kind of hoping they'll announce a gender-flipped game or version at some point, all though I'm not sure how popular it'd be. |

I like crawler crane-chan and mini excavator-chan (am I saying it right?). Fan-chan (hey, she rhymes!) also looks powerful. All it needs is a character designed by Humikane Shimada and I'll be happy.

In Japan, EVERYTHING must be kawaii and moe. EVERYTHING.
The hammer girl looks like she could be a character in some blacksmithing video game. |

Anthropomorphized moe girls are a dime a dozen in Japan. What helped KanColle stand out was its nationalism sentiment that Japanese could feel attached to their historical ships. Without that to construction vehicles........

I think their pushing their limit on what they can do. Anthropomorphized construction vehicle girls? REALLY?
Why even bother, just show pictures of pretty anime girls all the time. Sheesh. 
Out of IDEAS is what this spells out. |

It also helps that ships can be viewed as individuals because they're given names and there's relatively few of them. It's pretty much only in the classes with large numbers like subs where they're relegated to numbers, but they're still not generalized tools. |

Er, subs are about the smallest class in the game. And people just call them by their nicknames (like Shioi and Gouya) anyway. On the other hand, there are about 50 destroyers at this point. In any case, I don't think nationalism is a major factor. The game has a decent sized base of foreign players, especially considering the hoops one has to jump through to play it. And obviously the nationalism doesn't apply to us. So it clearly has some significant appeal beyond that. |
