KanColle - Episode 10 Discussion / Poll

[Wild Goose]

Sooo AF. That's Midway. Welp, time to get rekt, girls. :V

Also I just realised that Mutsuki was basically saying that people die when they're killed.

[Estavali]

I laughed a bit at the start when Nagato explained the Admiral's reason for recalling Fubuki. It's like those situations in romantic series when the GF sees the BF with another girl and mistakes him for cheating on her, when said girl is actually just there to help him to choose a nice gift for her

On a slightly more serious tone, this highlights the difference in the level of trust/understanding Fubuki has towards the Admiral compared to what, say, Kongou has. Had she known him better, she would have taken the disbanding command and all more in stride with the knowledge that the Admiral has it all in place, as what Kongou said.

On a even more serious note, I hope this is the last time we get a unnecessary forced-in KitaOoi rabu-rabu scene. Ooichi is starting to become to the not-so-funny comedic relief in the show already, sheesh.

Well, there were probably other little details like her boiler, but the most obvious change was supposed to be her uniform.
It is a bit weird that the anime staff forgot to apply kai ni changes on her uniform.

I guess Shibafu submitted his design too late to be included into the anime's live air and they thought this is probably what he would give them anyway

I do wish we get those Akizuki-guns in the game as well =w=

Midway Princess, please. ALL HAIL OPPAI!

It's like Hikaru Genji all again

Admiral: *Gendo Pose* Just as Planned!

Also, a fully-clothed Mutsuki wildly jumping into the hot bath to tightly embrace the just-awakened Fubuki makes for a more emotionally resonant scene for me than a conventional slap would have. I felt this scene (as well as some others in this episode) did a great job of showcasing just how important Fubuki is to Mutsuki.

I think Mutsuki's emotional out-burst achieves the same effect as a slap would have done and I think slapping Fubuki is kinda OoC for her too.

What I really like in that bath scene is how the story brings out the full effect of Kisaragi's death. There's a real urgency and intensity because Mutsuki, having experienced the heartbreak from losing a close one, has no intention of going through all that again. And Fubuki, who knows what Mutsuki has gone through, would be more receptive to the latter's concerns =3

[Top Sergeant]

Not too much changed for Fubuki, but that gun turret looks much more lethal now.

Teitoku Doori?

I hope they don't pretend to make him really be the player, where what we saw is happening inside the game and he just got some internet problems and can't connect...

The anime staff should have tried copying Idolmaster series.

The Producer actually is the most popular character from the series, and that says a lot about the incompetence or lack of creatitivy (and consistence) in this series...

Gen Urobuchi, is that you?

This idea is so dark it would honestly be slightly comedic from its over-the-topness.

I'd suggest you to look up the Historical Kancolle séries by Sakazaki Freddy. Long Story Short: Aoba Is bad news.

In short, this.

You're right about one thing. It's so bad that it's actually funny from a objective PoV

[Ithekro]

Basically you'd have Akagi sink first (June), than Mutsuki (August), then Fubuki goes out with Aoba for a night battle (October) followed by a epiloge of Yuudachi going crazy in combat around the Solomons with Hiei and Kirishima (November). Ending with a crying Kongo and Haruna. It would be extremely depressing.

Which is why I don't think it will happen. The idea is to not repeat the tragedy after all. That is what the OP song says at least.

So is nobody bothered that modern-day Tokyo is shown in the waifu Fubuki scene?

I don't really.
The Base not being modern might be for the Girl's sake, which is why I think its sad we see ther story out of Fubuki's eyes instead of the Admirals.

If we saw the story out of the Admirals PoV we would have access to his thoughts and might get things like if the code thing reminded him on midway or why he is using an ink bottle and a feather for writing.

The intro scene kinda made it sound like the girls are just ships born as humans and got spiritual powers.
Yet we never hear them talk about their actual families and they generally view their sister ships as their relatives.
Maybe thats the reason we never atually see them go into a town, I can see how it would be rather frustrating for people if they were souls born into humans and one day pooof they awaken, forget most things and don't consider their actual family family anymore.

Many ship girls lines in the game reference modern things, so it's generally accepted that Kancolle story happens in modern days. Although it's true that the anime didn't show anything very modern yet on the base, from their communication system and all as far as I can remember.

... I hope my theory about commander really being a player is wrong.

[Ithekro]

I would assume the shipgirls still function like 1940s technology+plus magic. But them being in the 2010s world doing so is not out of the possible since the "+magic" is there. Their have tiny faires that fly their small planes...maybe 1/48 scale aircraft? Maybe as large as 1/24th scale.

But them shouldn't wee see things like, one of them having a cellphone, a video game or TV for leisure, a camera, etc? Some of the ship girls comments about things like that on their lines. But I don't remember we seeing any in the anime?

[Ithekro]

The focus is mostly Fubuki, and she spends her time training and dreaming of being praised by Akagi. She doesn't have time for that other stuff. Sixth Destroyer was the only other main focus and they were busy cooking.

It might be they just don't hand those sorts of things to what are I suppose spirits given human form amd keep them mostly focused on their task against the Abyssal. There clothing seems more advanced than the 1940s. Especially when they are not in their usual uniforms.

I am suprised we haven't seen a rice cooker for Akagi.

There was a gigantic rice cooker at Truk during episode 8.

[Avrorrange]

Of all ships,the stinking admiral chose Fubuki?Is he f#$king blind?

[Sheba]

Fubuki have shown more character than your average default heroine from too many visual novel.

[Vaans]

If she's still gonna look plain might as well untie her hair. She look better that way.

I agree. And also, she got that Anti-Aircraft Fire Director watch thingy on her left arm!

Still, I can't believe that the admiral wants to marry Fubuki because of his dream!

[blakstealth]

I lol'd when Fubuki realized she still looks mostly the same.

I have a bad feeling about her becoming Akagi's escort, though. Fuck, man.
