Soon afterwards she meets a ship in the same unit, who remarks that she never leaves the base given that there’s so much to do on their days off. A ship named Fubuki transfers into a torpedo unit at a large naval base that is presumed to be close to the home base of the Abyssals. The ship girls are all together because of a mysterious otherworldly fleet of ship girl monstrosities named the Abyssals appeared out of nowhere one day and began to wreak havoc on mankind. Once you put those characters in a slice of life situation, there is hardly anything left to set it aside, save for the strong writing and fresh new characters that it distinctly lacks. Presumably that’s why people played the game. The fun of KanColle is in watching girls named for actual historic ships skate on top of water, fire massive guns from their hip belt, even shoot arrows in traditional Japanese archery style only to have them transform into planes. I usually balk at the prospect of having 30% of a show being action sequences-save anything ufotable decides to commit their resources to-but in this case I wish they had switched those numbers around. In contrast to the hit online game of the same name, the anime Kantai Collection (more colloquially KanColle) was released with the promise of being 30% action and 70% slice of life.
