Kantai Collection	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })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 aired during the Winter 2015 Anime season. 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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The second preview, featuring some of the more Slice of Life aspects to be expected of the show, as well as the Loads and Loads of 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 a new animated Kancolle project premiered, appearing to focus on Shigure and the Nishimura Fleet. Text in the trailer indicates this is the second season, but no release date has been revealed. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })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.

Kantai Collection / 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.

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.

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.

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.

Kantai Collection / 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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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...

Kantai Collection / 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.

Kantai Collection / int_8e20979	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 her Ship Girl and Abyssal selves. Ship Girl Fubuki then confronted Abyssal Fubuki 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.

In episode 7, she manages to sink one Abyssal carrier and severely damage another one, while also saving Shoukaku and Zuikaku.

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.

Kantai Collection / 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 the battle was won by the IJN, but at the cost of Kisaragi. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The girls in Destroyer Group Six go through a variant of this while learning how to make curry.

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.

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.

Kantai Collection / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Kantai Collection / int_ffad4e9f	comment	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.
