Even if they don't, they should at least apply what makes it successful to the next season at least =3

Spoiler for In case of spoilers =3:

What I love about the Cranes LN is how the author uses the ship-girls' history (= memories). That these memories would haunt them is more or less expected but it's the way the girls apply the lessons learnt from their past that makes it so refreshing =3

Imho, story-telling abilities aside, the KanColle anime is best left to someone who is both a fan (and will thus be more motivated to make it a success) and knows how to apply historical facts in a flexible manner, as is the case with the Cranes LN. Methinks S1 is a pretty good example where the writer either doesn't know what to do with the ships' past and just follows history as it ran, or is not bothered to explore the possibilities.
