Not to mention that they aren't even anywhere near covering the IJN yet. I think they've only done half the ships.

Please consider that I can't read moonrunes. So its easier for me if there are are only few buttons to click before the actual start of the game. Plus touhou is a shooting game while I'm not sure on kancolle. And like I said on the post you quote. I haven't played it and only knew it from the manga and 4-koma.

I can't see any lack of characterization either considering you have already meme spawning left and right and even trivia from the real life counterparts ships (Mutsu's exploding turret, Kaga VS 5th division carriers, etc). Heck, in fact, you could say the RL component of the franchise is hardly a handicap. Despite this, you have a growing fanbase that add even more to the manga and other LN tidbits (I'm even surprised how people are going nuts over the Woclass enemy ships etc). From my perspective, KC only have few lacking points such as the very minimal input from the player (which is also an advantage since unlike other browser game/mobage, the player doesn't feel the need to monitor his fleet every damn 5 minutes), BGM (few are good, but even including the average ones, there are very little scores). Past that, it has just as much winning points even though the genre is completely different. Quote:
If you put the menu aside, Kancolle is not even close to a "game" compared to Touhou. You hardly have any active role besides clicking for choices and fleet management. That is a far cry from Touhou where you have to shoot and dodge. Even if you put Touhou in easy mode, you must do something unlike KC. The misusage of "easier gameplay" lead to this misunderstanding. That's like comparing a VN with a FPS. The difference is just that big.

Don't underestimate the power of head wear. Although I'm surprised people aren't making a bigger deal about her cane. In most fanworks I've seen, it's no where to be seen when really the cane says more about her than the hat. Like "I'm going to destroy you with the bare minimal amount of force" as she deals calculated blows against her enemies without ever adjusting her stance.

Well, there are perverted female Admirals too. I remember seeing at least 1 or 2 out there.

People play this game even without knowing how to read Japanese. And no one who has actually played it for a while cites the language as their greatest barrier. All you need is a guide to know which button means what. That's what the wiki is for, after all. I myself found the guide to be pretty useful. Soon enough it becomes automatic. And language barrier ≠ difficult gameplay. Bullet hell games, on the other hand, are named bullet hell for a very good reason. Not Shimakaze's outfit? Well, Ryuujou's extra flight deck isn't as well-known as the rest, but...

Not that I've seen. It's just an outfit. Sometimes characters cosplay as her? But it's not a meme, not like how Suwako's hat kind of took on a life of it's own, literally or how Reimu's sleeveless, but otherwise non-sexualized attire spawned jokes about her flashing her armpits everywhere.

Sorry for causing misunderstanding but I saw pictures of screen shots for the game which reminds me of online games where you pick your ship/character and customize it? I'm not much of a online gamer but more on RPG games so I'm not familiar with shooting?(right term. Also not familiar with terms used on them or how to categorize them) I played gunbound where you pick your character/weapon then you can customized it with items and such to make it powerful then you fight the enemy with shooting it down. Is it the same? or is the same as shooting game where you pick a gun and clips and storm the enemy? sorry for causing misunderstanding but for me the more the unknown characters are there the harder for me to even play. touhou is simple for me because i don't need to mind much than just shoot down the annoying fairies, aliens, youkai or whatever mess comes with

True, but a lot of the ones left are of destroyer size and lower -- escorts and support ships, really. If we take out Shinano and Taihou, the programmers have taken most of the large ships out of the running already (because they're already in-game).

But anything Kongou says in gratuitous English must still stand, though. Quote:
Nope, according to the Wikipedia article: Quote:

Not that I have much hope of the older destroyers (Momi, Wakatake, Minekaze and Kamikaze classes) being used (they might for completion's sake, but I'm not too optimistic). The newer ones, however, are more likely to be introduced just so destroyers aren't seen as weaklings by KanColle players. Of course, none of the destroyers can beat Shimakaze in terms of popularity, but... There're also a large number of ships (both small and large) that the IJN had planned to build (and some were even as much as 84% complete), but were ultimately cancelled. Once the programmers run out of large ships, they could still bring in those incomplete or cancelled ships.

That's another enduring quality about the Touhou Fandom. It's so large and diverse that as a practical matter only the wholesome bits are ever elevated to near canon status. Only the bits that pretty much everyone can agree on rise to prominence and no matter how vocal a minority is, they'll never be able to exclude the rest of the fan-base to the IP's detriment.

I don't think any of Nanoha's fanwork has ever gotten the canon treatment that Touhou and Kancolle has gotten.
ZUN's given the okay to many MANY things that started in the fandom (Keine as a teacher is just one), and Kancolle's doing the same via the 4koma. See Ryuujou's breast envy, for example? That started in the fandom.
