As mentioned above, there have been successful cases of player representatives being given definitive appearances and characters as in the case of The Idolm@ster animes. No matter what form you put the Admiral in, as long as they're portrayed to be a competent, balanced character most people shouldn't have a problem with him/her.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'd like a first person, subtitled admiral like the producer in the first episode of Idolm@aster. I thought that was a really original swing for an anime to take, and while the actual producer was a pretty good character, I would not have minded had the rest of the series continued in that trend.
As for the rest of the next season... well, as an anime only viewer, I join the chorus who'd like a different MC. I found Fubuki extremely bland and unengaging, like she was a checkbox of anime heroine must-haves. Even the characters that were little beyond their stereotypes were more engaging to me simply for being characters in their own right. Heck, maybe focus on an entirely different cast. Plenty of shipgirls that haven't even shown yet. I'd also like if they find a better way to level the drama versus the slice of life. One moment the war is all fun and games, the next it's deadly serious mortal conflict where everyone almost dies. Even Strike Witches managed to find a better balance in this, and that's the show with girls fighting aliens in their underwear! |

Fubuki was chosen as MC because her bland character and personality can go along with any character in the fleet. That said, I also want new MC. (6desdiv is prefered)
My idea for SS2 - Reboot it - Keep the SS1 artstyle - Use less CG in battle - Have visible admiral and make him MC - MC is one of many admirals at the base. He will command a set of ship girls while other admirals command the rest. This doesn't limit ship girls under other admiral command to join his fleet from time to time in a joint operation or a special operation. - Battle should be more serious and complicated and show more tactic. - Abysmals should be smarter and talkable and they should have a clear goal of what they are trying to do (just made up the reasons for anime) - Abysmals should have their own big base somewhere AND has the EVIL Abysmals admiral as boss - There shouldn't be any reference to the real history

Spoiler for Opinion:
The biggest minus point of Kancolle for me is the lack of Admiral; I don't mind with Fubuki as the main girl, it's just-- something is missing without Admiral. This series could be much better with a competent Admiral as a MC (IMHO), or maybe a kuso-teitoku one if you're aiming for comedy route as reboot theme. Spoiler for Opinion:

Less CG is a lofty goal to strive for, but less CG also risks a decrease in overall animation quality. One of the advantages of CG is that once created, a model can be reduced over and over, while traditional animation has to be drawn from scratch almost every single time.

I don't really mind who they use as MC, but it would be nice if they actually keep the MC's feats in-line with their class and setup. Ep12 for all its weaknesses actually solved a beef I had with this anime about Fubuki being too dominant at everyone elses' expense. Ironically, by swamping the screen with characters, Fubuki's part was reduced to a "MC but a destroyer-ish level". It felt natural for the first time in some time. I wish they can do that without needing to resort to such crudity. |

I think the multiple Admiral is the best option, as a)it will allow dj room to thrive, which what made Kancolle popular in the first place, and b) they can keep the Admiral personality unique so her/his interaction with the Kanmusu can become the main point. Not to mention you will have a relatively small casts to explore more on, and you can call in more reinforcement for bigger development.
There are several dj with Admiral and Plasma-chan as main heroine out there, and they were done excellently Definitely should ditch the real history event thingy. Only keep it as reference or PTSD

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:
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.

C2 announces that they "are steadily working towards making a new Kancolle animation project possible". Take note that the tweet has illustrations for Yukikaze and Shigure instead of Fubuki.
