KanColle - Episode 7 Discussion / Poll

[Xero8420]

^
Wasn't that you shown earlier?

[Klashikari]

I've noted the change of location for Akatsuki's group. I didn't notice Nagato's weird "teleport" until now.

[Benigmatica]

Wow, both Shoukaku and Kaga got hit pretty hard! On the other hand, they shouldn't let their guard down when being attacked by an unsuspecting torpedo!

Meanwhile, it's not surprising to see Fubuki saving the day by hitting the left eye of the Wo-Class Carrier!

I honestly don't quite get the CR translator handling this show. If the Japanese chose to use 'Destroyer' in the script, just use 'Destroyer' doh.

In the arpreggio manga CR made yamato into a grand flagship or so instead of the supreme Flagship or whatever the correct one was.
Think they also got some ship classes wrong.

The fanmade Z gundam sound effects and music made this episode even more epic lol.

Just watched episode 7, must say Nomizu Iori did well in CVing both Shoukaku/Zuikaku.. didn't remember if she ever voiced soft and gentle character like Shoukaku before, but Zuikaku certainly not that different with other characters that she voiced before like Nymph and Haruna, which i loved so much. So obviously Zuikaku too gets a love from me!

Also few things that i noted (haven't play the game or search deeply into it, only saying this from anime perspective tho)
- I noticed something when seeing Kaga in her torn apart look.. is Kaga a pettanko? Don't tell me Akagi too... or every other carrier has this attribute as well? But it didn't seem to be like that during the 'dock' scene with Akagi.. even Shouhou seems to be well endowed despite being a carrier.
- They have all the buildings, cranes, construction tools and machines.. certainly look like a real naval harbor/dock/port. Yet the actual 'harbor' is secretly located in a seemingly like underground facility, and the actual 'ships' are the petite girls wearing small machinery stuffs on their body. Yep yep.. i can see the issues with 'resources' lacking here
- Whats with the yuri auras i detected in this episode, and from the carriers group no less. These two carriers pairs should have just kiss already
- So i can see the point of having the flight deck on the carrier's arm.. but i wonder how would the 6 planes convert back to an arrow, since an arrow can transform into 6 planes, considering the size of the plane, and the length of the deck.

Anyway this episode is not really to my liking, i mean those battles, tho i still give it 9 points for having my Akagi docking gloriously, and Kongou .. Somehow i prefer KanColle from SoL perspective, like the previous 3 episodes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought translators are separate entities (or companies) contracted to CR on a show-by-show basis (at least I know that's the case for quarkboy); they are not necessarily CR staff (why I normally avoid saying 'CR did it' ). So well, we do get a variety of quality and experience for different shows. Anyway Grand and Supreme can be different ways of saying the same word in a loose manner

However, what happened in this episode was, Fubuki reported herself as Destroyer Fubuki while reporting to the Admiral. There is really no necessity to change it to Flagship Fubuki. It happened twice and I do not get the artistic choice of the translator. It's not like there's no English word for Destroyer, and the script wanted 'Fubuki' to designate herself as a Destroyer and not Flagship. Either this is the way to designate yourself (ie. by ship class) while reporting, or Fubuki chose to identify herself more as a 'Destroyer' than a 'Flagship'. So yeah, don't get the choice lol

Both instances are matter of quality control.

In the arpeggio example
They knew the translation people preferred and were used to too well, it was even pointed out.
If I remember right there was also something wrong with the ship classes like a heavy cruiser being flagged a battleship(or even something that doesnt even exist no idea its been a while >>) or something like that, no idea if they eventually corrected that though.

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

If they don't fix that kind of stuff in the BD, I'm not sure if I will stick with my pre-orders...

It's strange because the art and animation quality was good. It seemed that they were just inexperienced when planning these screens out

Carriers are generally shown to be well-endowed except for Zuikaku and the following three who have yet to appear in the anime: Ryuujou (aka RJ), Zuihou and Taihou. The chart cloud has linked here ranks the standard carrier kanmusu according to the size of their assets as perceived in fandom, from Souryuu (champion!) to Taihou (pettanko).

Btw, of the four I mentioned, RJ is pretty much related to every breast envy joke in the Kancolle fandom so whenever somebody says "flat", chances are s/he is talking about RJ

Ah i see.. so the ranking was a fanmade then?

Well official or not.. being pettanko or not is no prob for me . Was just curious reading some info about KanColle that each kanmusu was design (from body proportion to attitude) according to the actual ship's attributes.. so when Ooi mentioned about Zuikaku having a flight deck chest, i thought all carriers would follow the same too..

Well, fans were drawing conclusions from the official CG and yeah, Souryuu is notably stacked. Which is why I called her Sounyuu.

Oh, I didn't notice it was that seiyuu. Couldn't detect any of Nymph in either, pretty good range there.

-If anything, carriers are often portrayed as some of the biggest girls in kancolle, at least as far as the 1st and 2nd div goes. With Shouhou it shows more since she has her robe off all the time. Fun fact, despite Shouhou's tendency for stripping, the fanbase far prefers her modest, pettanko sister Zuihou.
-A series with so many girls and no clear male figure to be seen is bound to have some yuri. Add to that the connection some of the ships have historically, whether is implied in the game or not, and its even easier. Kaga and Akagi is one of the most popular pairings, by the way.
-Magic. Once again, I'd have liked to see at least one of the girls that uses the shikigami technique, since at least that way each plane would be its own individual thing.

That does happen quite often, though different artists have different ways of going about it.

Where do you find that..?

Another reason, or perhaps the real reason, is because of her 2nd secretary line: "Uh, um, the Type 99 CDBs'll fall out..."

In the original Japanese, Type 99 CDB is written as 九九艦爆. Creative fans read it as 九九爆乳, literally "99 enormous breasts". In other words, a cup size of 99cm!

And from there we get Sounyuu =3

Oh my poor USS Lexington (going by RL) and Yorktown surviving to go back to Pearl Harbor to sink other carriers at Midway

BTW, how would a Kanmusume burn (ref Shouhou getting 'set on fire' by dive bombers)
