The animated adaptation of the wildly popular browser game.The oceans of the world are under threat! Strange beings coming from its depths, tentatively codenamed the Abyssal Fleet, are attacking the shipping lanes, wreaking havoc on the economies of countries that are dependent on imports. The only ones that can seemingly stop these things are the Fleet Girls, who are apparently the ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, reincarnated into the present day in the forms of girls and young women.Fubuki is one of these. Despite being a relative newbie, because of who she is she is thrust into the front lines. What experiences will she have in this time of conflict, and who will she meet that will share the burden of these troubled times with her?The adaptation by Studio Diomedea premiered in January 2015. The animated primer was first shown during the 1st-year anniversary celebration in Yokohama, before being made available on the Kadokawa's anime channel. It can be watched here.The second preview, featuring some of the more Slice of Life aspects to be expected of the show, as well as the characters, was streamed on November 7, 2014. It can be watched here.Crunchyroll now has the rights to stream Kancolle as part of their Winter 2015 lineup. Funimation will release the series on home video, with an English dub, as part of a partnership between the two companies. Said home release on Blu-Ray, DVD, and digital is scheduled for June 27, 2017.A second season was announced at the end of the first season's 12th and final episode, but has yet to materialise as of 2019. A movie was also announced, which premiered in 2016. It features fleet girls that never made it into the series proper (Choukai, Kako, and Furutaka had been confirmed in the lineup.)At the end of the 2019 Jazz Festival event, a trailer for the new anime called KanColle 1944: Let's Meet at Sea premiered, focusing on Shigure and the Nishimura Fleet. Text in the trailer indicates this is the second season, but devs later stated that this new anime is a self contained story not set in the previous anime and movie's universe. It started airing on 3rd November 2022, produced by Studio ENGI and will run for 8 episodes. Compare to Arpeggio of Blue Steel, which also featured Anthropomorphic Personifications of World War 2 IJN ships, and whose adaptation Ars Nova used cell-shaded CGI.

And Then John Was a Zombie
 KanColle / int_115d318
comment
And Then John Was a Zombie: In episode 12, after MI is concluded in a ship-girl victory, Kisaragi's hair clip suddenly floats to the surface from the depths, implying she had been turned into an Abyssal—specifically, the One-Eyed Wo-Class, with her repeated utterance of "Give it back" while sinking. It is later revealed in the movie that Kisaragi Came Back Wrong while suffering from an amnesia and PTSD, with her movie-only Abyssal form being a Cute Zombie Girl

Heroic BSoD: Mutsuki and Fubuki following Kisaragi's sinking in episode 3. Mutsuki puts on a cheerful front, refuses to acknowledge Kisaragi's gone, and stubbornly waits at the wharf for her return every day, while Fubuki just stops smiling altogether. Fubuki has a panic attack after getting hit by some Abyssal ships in episode 4. She is unable to do anything aside from watch, but fortunately is saved by Kongou. Fubuki suffers a brief one again in episode 9. She is told her unit is being disbanded and that she is to head back to the Naval District. Because she isn't told why, she wonders if she screwed up somewhere despite all her recent victories.

Darker and Edgier: The movie in comparison with the anime, since there's blood, reduced comedy, and the risk of Ship Girls sinking are high, even if all of them survived (or came Back from the Dead in Kisaragi's case) in the end. Let's Meet at Sea is even more so, with a more serious tone, more graphic violence, and Ship Girls retiring by Career-Ending Injury as a stand-in for warships sinking in real life.

comment
Genre Shift: Some episodes go with a Moe Slice of Life Monster of the Week story while other episodes highlight the harshness of war and make it an anime reenactment of the Pacific War. What makes this particular is its frequency to keep shifting between the genres rather than just make one shift and stick to the new one from then on.

Power Up Letdown: Fubuki gets her long awaited "upgrade" in episode 10. Unfortunately, unlike Yuudachi, the only noticeable difference is her cannons are slightly bigger. Physically, she looks exactly the same as before, including having the her original bust size, as compared to her friend, who got a little bit more in that department.

comment
The Glomp: Kongou's entrance into the Admiral's room involves smashing the door open, a flying leap, and glomp on the Admiral. Well, it would be, if the Admiral were present. Kongou gets Ooyodo instead. It happens again in episode 12. Kongou and Ooyodo also get a Punny Name as a result, at least in the first instance: The pun is unfortunately removed in the dub and in its place: Fubuki and Kongou do this in episode 5 after they find out they're assigned to the same fleet. Considering the hostility Fubuki saw from the other members, Kongou seemed like a breath of fresh air and almost normal to her.

Green-Eyed Monster: Ooi is extremely jealous of anyone whom she perceives as competing for her beloved Kitakami's attention and affection, up to and including a butterfly landing on the latter's cheek. Fubuki is initially a little jealous at Yuudachi receiving a remodel and upgrade in episode 9. However, she's told that Yuudachi was training a lot in order to catch up to a certain destroyer, implying Fubuki herself. She then instead cheers Yuudachi on while the latter is training.

This may be a Shout-Out to the infamous real-life Cafe Mountain (warning: machine translation) in Nagoya.

Mythology Gag
 KanColle / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Quite a few things are taken from the game, and their significance won't be appreciated without that knowledge, such as... In the first episode, Akagi "sees" via the recon plane, a nod to the line-of-sight mechanics. In the same episode, Yuubari is seen lagging behind a quite distance in a fleet consisted of "fast" speed shipgirls, making her Informed Flaw in the game (she claims that her cruising speed is pretty slow when she's listed as a fast ship) no longer informed. As mentioned in Freeze-Frame Bonus, the placard shown when Fubuki is getting her equipment quickly flips through the rest of Fubuki's class, almost none of whom show up in the anime. The lyrics of the ending theme also namedrop all the Type I Fubuki-class destroyers that have been included in the game at the time of the anime's airing. In episode four, Kirishima's part of the song mentions the compass fairies. In episode six, when Destroyer Group Six is going out on an expedition, the lines they speak are all taken from the game. The expedition failure screen is also just like in the game. The flamethrower Destroyer Group Six use to speed up the curry cooking is the same one used in the game to instantly construct a ship-girl. As mentioned in Hell Is That Noise, the sound that scares Destroyer Group Six when Yuubari is making their new pot is the same one used in the game when scrapping a ship-girl. In the game, one of Shoukaku's lines has her complain about Zuikaku fiddling with her skirt. Guess what happens in episode six. In episode eight, one of the dishes Yamato offers Mobile Unit Five is consomme. One of her hourly game lines does the same. In episode ten, Fubuki is wearing a wedding dress in a dream the Admiral had, a nod to the marriage mechanics, even using her in-game marriage line. In episode 12, Kitakami refers to herself as Super Kitakami-sama, something she does in the game after you remodel her into a torpedo cruiser.

Awesome, but Impractical: Akagi is said to be the most powerful carrier in the fleet, but she has extremely long repair times, so if she takes any damage, she is out of commission for a VERY long time. Also, she consumes a lot of food/resources. Yamato is the most powerful ship-girl to ever exist. Unfortunately, her resource consumption is so high (rivaling Akagi's), that she is not allowed to sortie except as a last resort, with her notably being one of the few ships still fighting by the end of the climatic battle in The Movie.

Gratuitous English: Seeing as Kongou is from England, she tends to mix in bits of English as she speaks. In episode 6, Akatsuki attempts to say the word "elegant" in English but ends up saying "elephant." In the Filipino dub, this is translated as "elegante" and "elepante", with the exact meanings intact, making this Incidental Multilingual Wordplay.

Rule of Cool: The arming sequence is basically an accident waiting to happen. But who cares, because it looks amazing anyway. Some fanart pieces out there show how things might go wrong: Fubuki getting smacked by her own rigging, Kaga's flight deck hitting her from behind. Fubuki falling down the launch "button"...

Deus ex Machina: Episode 12 is brimming with this. Specifically, the girls are heavily outnumbered by the Abyssals, with the Airfield Princess instantly regenerating any damage done to her. When it looks like they're about to be overrun, the rest of the fleet, including Zuikaku and Shoukaku, suddenly arrive to help, explaining that instant repair buckets suddenly appeared out of nowhere. However, when their firepower still isn't enough, Taihou (whose existence was only briefly alluded to in the previous episode) suddenly arrives to provide support, and it's revealed that the Admiral has suddenly returned to the Naval District without any explanation of how they got there or what they did during the entirety of their absence. From that point on, the girls' morale is restored, and it quickly becomes a Curb-Stomp Battle in their favor.

Broken Aesop: In episode 10, Fubuki is training harder and taking more risks than usual because she wants to be remodeled. As a result, she isn't getting enough sleep and nearly gets herself sunk by Abyssals during a scouting operation. Mutsuki urges her to take better care of herself, as she's not proving anything and will only hurt the people that care about her if she gets herself killed. Fubuki apologizes and realizes Mutsuki's right. Fast-forward to the end of the episode, when Fubuki engages in some live fire training with Akagi and Kaga and nearly gets herself killed...except now Mutsuki is actively cheering her on. On top of that, Fubuki gets her second remodel afterwards.

Bittersweet Ending: Let's Meet at Sea ends with the Ship Girls facing their imminent end with dignity and grace as they fight the Abyssals until their last breath in the final battle, and Shigure wiping out the Abyssal carrier fleet with just one torpedo strike, getting caught by the explosion in the process. However, while the war ended with either a Pyrrhic Victory on both sides or no contest, the Ship Girls who were sunk, including Shigure herself, didn't turn into Abyssals due to their lack of negative thoughts (such as regrets and grudges) and instead came back to life later (through Reincarnation) as ordinary civilians in the present day.

Beach Episode: Episode 8 takes place at an alternative forward base, which largely takes the form of a beachside hotel. Naturally, this leads to a Walking Swimsuit Scene for many of the fleet girls. However, the actual time spent on the beach accounts for less than 10% of the episode, as it mostly focuses on Yamato.

Later subverted in the movie, where Kisaragi is revealed to be imprisoned inside an Abyssal by the time the Mikawa Fleet found her. Episode 7 of Let's Meet at Sea has Shigure getting an actual third remodeling instead of a Kai II variant.

Makes Just as Much Sense in Context
 KanColle / int_4fc0aaa7
comment
While trying to find Shimakaze, Kongou suggests blasting music across the entire harbor, and everybody gets in on it. At one point, the Kongou sisters are shown in with Haruna (soft-spoken) on keyboard, Kirishima (nerdy) on drums, Kongou (loud one) on vocals and lead guitar, and Hiei (prefers to follow sister) on bass guitar in the hallway. (The anime takes place in a pseudo-school.) Kongou's mental image of the plan is itself a nod to Japanese Mythology, specifically the story of how the sun goddess Amaterasu hid in a cave (taking the sunlight with her) after her brother Susano'o freaked her out while on a rampage. The other gods eventually got her to come out by holding a festival outside; when Amaterasu poked her head out to see what all the music was about, the gods grabbed her and convinced her to stop hiding.

Failure Montage: Following Fubuki's reassignment to Mobile Unit Five in Episode 5, the fleet, which consists of Kitakami, Ooi, Zuikaku, Kaga, and Kongou, decided to try out their hands at flagship one by one, since they can't seem to agree on anything. Cue a quick montage of each fleet girl getting a crack at it, followed by a massive explosion, then a scene cut to the entire group getting repairs at the docks. This happens to everyone except Fubuki, who never gets to try. When an impromptu attack by the Abyssals forces them to make an emergency sortie, Fubuki reins in the entire group and heads a successful attack, leading the team to name her their flagship. In episode 10, another one occurs when Fubuki is being tested to see if she is capable of protecting Akagi from enemy aircraft.

Off the Rails: In episode 11, after having witnessed the sinking of her historical counterpart countless times in her dreams, Akagi tries to invoke this by changing the fleet girls' order of battle, including the replacement of certain members of the Kagerou-class who led to the carriers being discovered by the enemy in the first place (Whilst steaming at flank speed to rejoin the fleet after chasing off USS Nautilus, Arashi was spotted by the dive and scout bomber squadrons of the USS Enterprise, who followed her back to fleet), and who scuttled her namesake in the aftermath (Maikaze). It initially doesn't seem to be working, as the carrier are still discovered even without Arashi's unwitting blunder, though episode 12 shows that it is possible—albeit with a lot more effort.

The reason why Fubuki can hear strange voices in Episode 12 and her equipment is not affected by the crimson sea? When the original Fubuki sank, her willingness to live causes her soul to split into two. Fubuki then confronted her Abyssal half in a Battle in the Center of the Mind and fused with her after realizing that she's the Ship Girls' "hope", becoming whole again as a result.

The Unseen: The Admiral is treated as such where they do exist but they never speak, and the closest thing you get to see of them is their shadow. The gender of the Admiral is actually unknown and never specified; treat the he/him pronouns used in most English subtitles as a neutral pronoun. The reason for the unspecified gender is likely because the Admiral represents the player, who can be of any gender, in the game the anime is adapted from.

You Can't Fight Fate

You Can't Fight Fate: Akagi keeps having a recurring nightmare of the Battle of Midway where they suffer a Curb-Stomp Battle prior to the mission to assault the Abyssal base, which it had disturbing simlarities with. She suggests some different girls be assigned to the assault force, trying not to use ones she saw in her dream, hoping to throw off the deadly fate awaiting them. Unfortunately, they still get ambushed by an Abyssal fleet, who seem determined to invoke this trope. The only words spoken by an Abbysal suggest they're doing it on purpose: "Sink... Again and again!" This is subverted in episode 12, when the girls, with a hefty dose of reinforcements, manage to beat MI after all.

Spared by the Adaptation: Zigzagged with Kisaragi: While she did sank in the same way as her historical counterpart at the end Episode 3, she was later brought Back from the Dead twice in the movie. Fubuki too. Much like her historical counterpart, the original Fubuki was sunk at Ironbottom at the start of the movie but her soul is split into two, who would later emerge as the current Fubuki and her Abyssal counterpart. In Let's Meet at Sea, Ship Girls had better luck compared to their historical counterparts, since they would only end up being too injured to fight anymore and retiring instead. Mogami plays this straight. Her historical counterpart sank after colliding with Nachi, shot down by three US cruisers, and then scuttled by Akebono while here, the collision never happened and she survived the battle in Surigao Strait with some bruises as a result. Kongou got this treatment as well, albeit off-screen. While her historical counterpart sank after a submarine ambush, Isokaze told Shigure that she got out of the Abyssal submarine attack alive with only a few injuries and retreated to Taiwan instead.

Brother–Sister Incest: A complicated example. Kitakami and Ooi have all but been directly and bluntly stated to be a lesbian couple, which is complicated because they are sisters. Well sister ships. The anime and game are both inconsistent about whether or not ships of the same class can be thought of as sisters as humans would define the term or if its more metaphorical than that.

Fubuki is told not to let Yamato go out to sea in episode 8 by Nagato. She isn't told why initially, so she tries again at night. Unfortunately, Yamato is hungry, and they go back to let her eat. Nagato then finds out about it, and once she explains how Yamato's Too Awesome to Use under most circumstances, she punishes Fubuki by having her collect clams on the beach for the rest of the night.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The girls of Destroyer Group Six attempt to speed up the curry cooking in episode 6 by using a flamethrower on it. Unfortunately, they melt the pot in the process. Zuikaku's attempt to show off at being better than Kaga causes her to fail to notice the torpedo heading her way. Kaga intercepts it and gets badly damaged as a result. Unfortunately, this also means Kaga can't take part in the next day's mission. Some of the blame goes on Kaga as well for fueling the resentment, even going so far as to steal Zuikaku's kill.

Breather Episode: Episode 6, Destroyer Team Six's day-in-the-limelight episode. Made a lot more funny with the serious atmosphere of the opening stinger: Nagato doing the infamous Gendo Pose while contemplating on the next mission - the Naval Base Curry Contest. May also count as sort of a Bizarro Episode, as it's sandwiched in between action-heavy episodes and is in no way related to the main plot.

Show, Don't Tell
 KanColle / int_870bbf64
comment
Show, Don't Tell: Much of the things done on the show are usually shown, followed shortly by an explanation. Carrier girls are awesome in combat, but they take a while to fix if damaged and can't be used if the weather is bad. Akagi is shown getting fixed with an "instant repair bucket", but episode 7 reveals they only have so many of those to use as well. Zuikaku and Shoukaku take advantage of the "can't use planes in bad weather" situation to escape from some Abyssal planes harassing them in episode 7 by deliberately going into a squall so said planes can't pursue them. Unfortunately, the Abyssal fleet is aware of this as well, and they are waiting for the two on the other side. Nagato forbids Fubuki from letting Yamato go out to sea in episode 8. She does it anyway, only for Yamato to get hungry just after she sets foot in the water, then eat even more food than resident Big Eater Akagi. Nagato tells Fubuki that due to Yamato's high resource requirement, they don't want to put her out to sea until they actually need her for a battle.

Wham Episode

comment
Wham Episode: Episode 3 shows the first casualty the girls face during their fight with the Abyssals, Kisaragi, who is sunk in the battle that takes place. In episode 5, all of the previous fleets are disbanded, and new ones are formed with a mix of different ship types. During episode 9, Fubuki is told her unit is being disbanded, and she's to go back to the Naval District. However, it gets attacked by the Abyssals just before she arrives. Though there appear to be no major casualties, the Admiral is missing as well. Episode 11 is essentially The Battle of Midway reincarnated. Akagi remembers her inevitable fate at Midway, and it ends on a cliffhanger with Akagi and a couple of other ships in peril of sinking. The movie is no slouch either: Both Ship Girls and Abyssals are actually the same person: if the Ship Girls or Abyssals sink, they'll be brought back in the opposing side and vice versa. Zuikaku reacts at the Vicious Cycle Kaga spoke of in shock and horror, and so does Mutsuki. Kisaragi, who Came Back Wrong, is suffering from amnesia, PTSD, and Abyssal mutation, but she still keeps her sanity (becoming a rogue Abyssal in the process) and is willing to fight against other Abyssals for Mutsuki's sake. The reason why Fubuki can hear strange voices in Episode 12 and her equipment is not affected by the crimson sea? When the original Fubuki sank, her willingness to live causes her soul to split into two. Fubuki then confronted her Abyssal half in a Battle in the Center of the Mind and fused with her after realizing that she's the Ship Girls' "hope", becoming whole again as a result. Let's Meet at Sea Episode 7: If anyone thinks that Kai II variants are the most powerful upgrades any Ship Girl would ever recieve, there is an upgrade above that: the never before seen Kai III upgrade.

Cliffhanger: Episode 11 ends on one, with the assault fleet being led by Akagi getting ambushed by the Abyssals. The episode ends as a bomb gets dropped on Akagi. Cliffhanger Copout: The next episode starts with the cliffhanger, but instead of Akagi getting bombed, the Abyssal is shot down instead.

Took a Level in Badass: The various training and missions Fubuki is put on in the early episodes pay off in episode 5 when she gives surprisingly good commands to the other ships in Mobile Unit Five. Her orders allow the girls to defeat the Abyssal fleet that attacks them with no losses on their side. In episode 7, she manages to sink one Abyssal carrier and severely damage another one, while also saving Shoukaku and Zuikaku.

Taking the Bullet: In episode 7, Zuikaku gets jealous at Kaga being a better carrier and attempts to show off. Unfortunately, she fails to notice the torpedo heading her way, forcing Kaga to intercept it. Though Kaga survives due to the torpedo hitting a non-fatal area, she's out of commission for the upcoming battle, since they're currently out of instant-repair buckets. At the end of episode 7, a Ri-Class jumps into the path of Kitamaki and Ooi's torpedo barrage to protect the Wo-Class.

Foreshadowing
 KanColle / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The opening title has one for the Past Experience Nightmares Akagi keeps having in episode 11. Right before the camera pans on her and Kaga, some quick inserts of battle are shown, with the music changing appropriately for those few moments. In a particularly meta example, the battle in the third episode is based on a map in the game, which was inspired by the real-life Battle of Wake Island. Those who did their history homework would already know that Kisaragi sank in that battle. The episode itself contains a boatload of foreshadowing, including Akagi giving a very profound speech to Mutsuki about how you should always tell the people you love how you feel about them, because you don't know if they'll still be there tomorrow. Early on in episode 9, Nagato is concerned that with the main fleet at the Truk forward base, the rest of the fronts are largely undefended. Guess what happens later.

Mood Whiplash: Double-subverted in Episode 4. While it does play off the fact that someone just died, it subverts once they introduce the Kongou-class ships. Starting the show from that point, you'd most likely not know that someone just died. Thankfully, it manages to double-subvert this by focusing on more of the fallout from and acceptance of said death near the end. Episode 9 starts out cheerily with Yuudachi's remodel. Then Fubuki is told she's being sent back to the Naval District. Things go From Bad to Worse from there. In episode 11, after some sombre discussion from Nagato about History Repeats, we cut to Ooi and Kitakami antics.

You Don't Look Like You: In episode 9, when Fubuki and Mutsuki try to find Yuudachi in the factory, they don't recognise her post-remodel self. Granted, she's a bit taller, and she does have a different hairstyle and eye colour now. Averted with Fubuki when she gets her upgrade. Except for a slightly bigger cannon in her arsenal, she looks exactly the same physically. This includes her breasts, and she takes a moment to stare at Yuudachi's while comparing them to her own.

Underdogs Never Lose: Played straight in episode 6 with the Destroyer Group Six girls. In this case, though, they're helped by most of their competition knocking themselves out, either due to bad cooking, or to eating the food as they're making it or shortly after it's made. Then Nagato chooses their dish over Ashigara's because the latter's curry is too spicy for her.

All Up to You: When the last Abyssal carrier shows up in episode 12, Fubuki is certain that's the last one they have to defeat. Sure enough, it's the same one she ran into back in episode 7, as the carrier is still missing an eye, and Nagato orders her to take it out, with Kongou as her only escort. This is made a little more jarring by the fact that just moments before, she ordered another group of girls to take out the previous carrier, and now she doesn't just order them to fire a few salvos at the third carrier.

Loophole Abuse: Nagato strictly forbids Fubuki from allowing Yamato from going out to sea due to how much resources she consumes. However, nothing is said about Yamato riding on a boat that's being pulled by someone else. Hilariously, Fubuki is unable to move Yamato on her own due to the battleship's heavy weight. Fortunately, Mutsuki and Yuudachi help her. When they take down some Abyssal planes that escaped from another battle, Nagato lets it slide that Fubuki once again disobeyed her, as this gave Yamato some much-needed battle experience. In the Movie, Kisaragi learns that, if a sunk Fleet Girl is then sunk as an Abyssal, she'll return as a Fleet Girl. In one of the most heartwarming moments possible, she manages it.

Hope Spot: One occurs in episode 11, when the Task Force assigned with Akagi assault the Abyssal base and find a lone Airfield Princess on the island. Akagi decides to launch a surprise attack on her, and they do surprisingly well, heavily damaging her. Unfortunately for the fleet girls, shortly after they launch a second wave of planes, they quickly get surrounded by Abyssal forces, who launch their own surprise attack on them. In episode 12, this occurs several times with the Midway Princess. Each time, they think she's taken down, only for her to get back up and launch more planes at them. At the end, Nagato starts to ask if they finally took her down, and Mutsu tells her she shouldn't be saying that.

Insane Troll Logic
 KanColle / int_c5f0119c
comment
Insane Troll Logic: Kirishima's reasoning behind her plan to lure Shimakaze out of hiding in episode 4 basically boils down to this; according to her calculations, girls like sweet things. However, they like sweet love stories even more. Therefore, getting video footage of one of Kitakami and Ooi's weekly lesbian moments will definitely attract Shimakaze.

Shout-Out
 KanColle / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Beehive Barrier (as described above) and the introduction telling how the ship-girls are reincarnations of sunken ships (reads a lot like "mental models") sounds a lot like key plot points within Arpeggio of Blue Steel. While trying to find Shimakaze, Kongou suggests blasting music across the entire harbor, and everybody gets in on it. At one point, the Kongou sisters are shown in with Haruna (soft-spoken) on keyboard, Kirishima (nerdy) on drums, Kongou (loud one) on vocals and lead guitar, and Hiei (prefers to follow sister) on bass guitar in the hallway. (The anime takes place in a pseudo-school.) Kongou's mental image of the plan is itself a nod to Japanese Mythology, specifically the story of how the sun goddess Amaterasu hid in a cave (taking the sunlight with her) after her brother Susano'o freaked her out while on a rampage. The other gods eventually got her to come out by holding a festival outside; when Amaterasu poked her head out to see what all the music was about, the gods grabbed her and convinced her to stop hiding. In the prologue to Episode 6, Nagato has her hands clasped in a very familiar way. In Episode 12, Fubuki drinks a tankard of milk like in a similar fashion to Misato Katsuragi. Episode 11's assault on the Abyssal base pretty much plays out similarly to the Battle of Midway that occurred during World War II. The Abyssals' base is even codenamed "Base MI". Episode 12 takes it further by revealing that the key to winning this battle is to sink three Abyssal carriers.

Five Stages of Grief: After Kisaragi is sunk, Mutsuki completely refuses to believe it. She won't listen to anyone who says it, acts as if nothing has changed, and won't look at Kisaragi's empty desk. She skips straight to Depression and finally Acceptance at the end of episode 4.

Unexpected Character: While the other Fleet Girls have something to explain their inclusion in the line-up, absolutely no one expected Mutsuki to be among the Destroyers to be included for the show's promos. People probably weren't expecting Taihou either, given that her namesake wasn't launched till well after Midway. Even In-Universe, the characters are surprised to see her, and most don't know who she is.

What the Hell, Hero?: Fubuki is told not to let Yamato go out to sea in episode 8 by Nagato. She isn't told why initially, so she tries again at night. Unfortunately, Yamato is hungry, and they go back to let her eat. Nagato then finds out about it, and once she explains how Yamato's Too Awesome to Use under most circumstances, she punishes Fubuki by having her collect clams on the beach for the rest of the night. Fubuki is again subjected to this in episode 10. She gets damaged in the latest skirmish they have against the Abyssals and is nearly sunk as a result. Though she survives because the Abyssal missed its shot, Mutsuki feared that she would have had to lose another friend in the process.

Cry into Chest: After getting reassigned to the newly formed Mobile Unit Five, Fubuki meets Kongou, they hug, and Fubuki promptly breaks down into tears mid-hug. Semi-Played for Laughs, since while it's entirely valid that she's upset about being separated from her friends, it's just as likely that she's upset because of her teammates. She does it again in episode 9 after learning that the Admiral is having her sent back to the Naval District, while her best friend Yuudachi has been remodeled AND transferred to Carrier Group One to be with Akagi, which was Fubuki's dream.

Training from Hell: Though the Sendai sisters don't do so intentionally, all three of them help Fubuki out at different times of the day in episode 2. So in essence, Fubuki is spending a third of a day with each one, and she suffers from exhaustion shortly afterwards. The girls in Destroyer Group Six go through a variant of this while learning how to make curry. A brief shot focuses on their hands at the contest, showing all of their fingers bandaged up, indicating they cut themselves accidentally quite a bit while cooking.

Reasonable Authority Figure: The Admiral, and Nagato by extension, allow Fubuki a surprising amount of freedom to do things however she sees fit. In episode 7, they ask her if she feels Shoukaku can do as good a job as Kaga in that episode's mission, rather than just delegating it and telling her to take Shoukaku. Nagato also doesn't punish Fubuki or Yamato after they sneak out to sea for a third time, as Yamato has gained some much-needed combat experience in taking down some Abyssal planes that had escaped from an earlier battle.

Chekhov's Gunman: The escort fighters Shoukaku and Zuikaku give to Fubuki and the others in episode 7 end up helping to save Fubuki's group from a second Abyssal fleet ambush. They help to shoot down several Abyssal planes while Fubuki and the others concentrate on the Abyssal's Wo-class carrier. An unknown girl in shadow is shown in a quick scene transition shortly after Yamato gets ready to launch in episode 11. It turns out to be the Carrier Taihou, who comes to assist the others girls in the next episode.

Big Damn Heroes: The arrival of the 1st Carrier Division squad in episode 1 not only saves Fubuki from getting eaten, but turns the battle against the Anchorage Princess around. The Kongou class battleships are this in episodes 3 and 4. The rest of the Assault Force Five girls save Zuikaku and Shoukaku when an enemy Abyssal fleet is waiting for them outside a squall in episode 7. Done four times in episode 12. First, Fubuki, Kongou, Yamato and the rest of the main fleet save Akagi and the carriers. Then, Ooi kicks an I-class in the face before it takes down Kitakami. Then Nagato, Mutsu, the Sendai sisters and the Akatsuki sisters show up, having feinted towards AL before turning back to MI. And then Taihou shows up with a new set of planes when Midway Princess keeps refusing to go down. Abyssal Kisaragi in the movie, managing to assist Yamato and Mutsuki in holding the line so Fubuki can get into the portal and cleanse Ironbottom Sound.

Drama-Preserving Handicap: Used in episode 7. Kaga is clearly the better carrier compared to Zuikaku, so naturally she suffers some damage just before a vital mission. And to make matters worse, they're out of instant-repair buckets, so like Akagi, she has to wait until repairs are complete. As a result, Shoukaku, Zuikaku's sister carrier, is assigned to the mission instead. Though they're fairly competent, they're not as good as Carrier Group One.

comment
Shoo Out the Clowns: As soon as Operation MI gets mentioned, Akagi loses the quirky humor and goes The Paragon all the way to the end, even pushing Fubuki during a training session with an utterly serious look. This is because she keeps remembering her fate in the Battle of Midway in her dreams and is determined enough to proceed through MI, which includes kicking reason to the curb and doing the impossible in said fight. In the credits, she goes back to being her quirky self, as she is seen eating at Mamiya's. Even moreso in the movie; even Kongou and Hiei drop the ham and moments of levity are few and far between.

The War Room: Expected, as everyone lives in a naval base. As shown in the first episode, Nagato (Secretary), Mutsu, and Ooyodo are on duty there during missions.

Comically Missing the Point: In episode 4, when Kongou holds an impromptu concert in an attempt to draw Shimakaze out of hiding, Naka shows up and challenges them to a music idol duel, thinking that Kongou is challenging her idol status. While Kongou and Hiei stay behind, Fubuki, Haruna, and Kirishima continue searching for Shimakaze.

Beware the Nice Ones: Yamato is gentle, demure, and an all-around nice person. She is also the most powerful ship in the entire fleet.

Fun with Subtitles: Fansubbing group Commie decided to use Russian subtitles (complete with Communist colors) whenever Hibiki spouts a Russian one-liner instead of translating to English.

Brick Joke: A very impressive Shown Their Work. Carrier Division 1 (Akagi, Kaga) and Carrier Division 5 (Shoukaku, Zuikaku) really hate each other. Why? Because, during World War 2, the latter lacked experience but had all the latest equipment, while the former had all the experience but barely any of the latest tech. Over the course of the anime, Kaga and Zuikaku are intentionally put together throughout the anime, and when Kaga takes a shot for Zuikaku, suddenly Zuikaku has respect for Kaga. Come Episode 12, which is modeled after the Battle of Midway, Shoukaku gives planes to Kaga at Zuikaku's request.

Old Maid: She throws chalk at Kisaragi when Kisaragi mentions that Ashigara didn't manage to hook up with any men at her last mixer, and she treats the curry-making contest as Serious Business because she thinks that if she wins, it'll mean that she must be marriage material and will thus finally be able to get married.

Talking Is a Free Action: Played straight during much of episode 12's battle. The Abyssals are kind enough to wait while the girls talk to each other. In Ooi and Kitakami's case, the Abyssals surround the two girls, only to then be taken out by their torpedoes.

Shown Their Work

Shown Their Work: Lots of details people would dismiss as unimportant are actually historical references. The different-colored splashes from Kongou and Hiei reference the dyes used by their real-life counterparts to mark their shell impacts. In this case, Kongou's was historically red, while Hiei didn't use any dye. The dye markers come up again once the four Kongou sisters come together, and in their introductory group pose, we see the colors for Kirishima and Haruna too: blue and yellow, respectively. The ID bands on the planes launched from Akagi and the other carriers correctly match the right carrier air group. The Type 1 AP shell close-up shows that it is correctly painted as an AP, as per IJN regulations, and marked as a red dye round (from Kongou). The Type 99 800kg bomb dropped on the Anchorage Princess at the end is also colored as an AP bomb, with the grey/white scheme. The Type 91 torpedo dropped by another Nakajima B5N has the correct wooden frame (Type 97 stabilizer frames) attached to the tail end. The practice of giving omamori, like the one that Atago gives to Fubuki for good luck, was common back during the War, though in the real world, it was done by women for their menfolk, whose chances of survival were never a sure thing. Kisaragi's historical counterpart sank pretty much the same way as in this adaptation; she came under air attack by a quartet of Wildcat fighters (essentially what was left of USMC fighter squadron VMF-211, as the rest of the squadron's Wildcats were among the casualties from the initial attack by Japanese bombers), and one of them scored a lucky bomb hit on her stern-mounted depth charge magazine, causing a catastrophic explosion and leading to the Kisaragi going down with all hands. The bomb that sinks Kisaragi is shown to have the distinct stabilizers of the Type-98 Land Bomb (which is used as the first image in the linked article). This is a nod and a wink to the idea that the Abyssals are nothing more than the darker halves of the Fleet Girls, and the Allied armaments used are just a convenient Red Herring. The Abyssals listening in on the transmitted signals between Naval Districts and using the information to set an ambush. In the real world, the US Navy had cracked the Japanese message ciphers early into the Pacific War, and they used the knowledge to turn the tables on the Japanese Navy (at the Battle of Midway, for example). The Imperial Japanese Navy never wised up to their codes being broken until well after the war had ended. In episode 7, which parallels the Battle of the Coral Sea, Shoukaku did get damaged, while one Abyssal/US carrier was destroyed and another damaged. Just like in real history, Shoukaku's repairs aren't finished by the time MI/Midway happens. The overall introduction to Yamato is what happened to the Real Life Yamato. She never did see much action after being built, the battles she did participate in had little involvement from her (excluding her final voyage), and she had an extremely extravagant interior for the time (including air conditioning and a freaking ice maker!). Some fans have complained about Fubuki not getting the correct colour of outfit after her remodel. This is actually historically accurate, though, as her namesake didn't get the red-and-black paintjob until the Solomons campaign, which was after Midway. All of episode 11 is a fairly close reenactment of the Battle of Midway. First, the fleet splits up into two groups to attack Bases AL and MI simultaneously, referring to Japan's two separate operations to attack Midway and the Aleutian Islands. Then, carriers Akagi, Kaga, Hiryuu, and Soryuu attack MI. After sending out their second wave of bombers, they are ambushed by Abyssal aircraft sent from carriers their reconnaissance craft failed to spot, just like in the actual Battle of Midway. In addition, Shoukaku and Zuikaku still haven't been fully repaired from the previous battle, preventing their participation in Operation MI. In episode 12, the use of Airfield Princess as a stand-in, initially, for Midway Princess. As stated on the game's page, Airfield Princess is the personification of Henderson Field in Guadalcanal. However, there's also a Henderson Field at Midway, originally named Naval Air Station Midway Islands. Both Henderson fields share a common namesake, though the one down in the Solomon Islands was named after the one at Midway. Their namesake is Major Lofton R. Henderson, a USMC aviator killed in action during the Battle of Midway. Also in episode 12, the fleet girls need to destroy three carriers in order to defeat the Airfield Princess. This is a clear reference to the three US carriers which were present at the Battle of Midway: the USS Enterprise, USS Yorktown, and USS Hornet. In Let's Meet at Sea, Shigure particpates in what is explicitly the Battle of Surigao Strait. Just like in real life, Shigure along with the 1st Striking Force 3rd Section consisting of Yamashiro, Fuso, Mogami, Yamagumo, Asagumo, and Michisio charges into the strait. Later, they are joined by other ships in the attack force such as Abukuma, Ashigara, and Yamato, with the ships that were historically sunk or damaged also being shown taking serious hits during the battle. Afterwards, while all of the fleet girls in the 3rd section survive, all of them with the exception of Shigure are forced to retire or are taken off active duty due to the severe damage they suffered, mirroring how the entirety of the 3rd Section with the exception of Shigure was sunk during the real battle.
