I have not played the game, but I know the general premise. I have read up on a lot of character info, not all of them, and kind of know the background information on the story. I also know about sinking=death. Does anyone think there will be any sinking in this show. This seems to be a good formula for the show to be one with sinking. Not to mention, the genres are action, sci-fi, and military. Last of all, by not setting a set end date or specific number of episodes, they could introduce many if not all characters in a timely fashion.

Unfortunately, we have a pretty crappy director, save for nanoha series, he does not have a good list of shows. Fortunately we have the series composition person Hanada Jukki (nichijou, steins gate, no game no life, and other well known shows) and Takeshi Yasuda (movies of steins gate and strike witches.

So... what do you think

No. no one is going to sink in this anime. the anime rating is PG 13 and the atmosphere is totally different compared to madoka.

What does Madoka has to with this? the atmosphere and being PG 13 are irrelevant.
Your honor, I never wrote this post.

Actually, PG-13 just means they can't show gore, nudity, or gratuitous violence. They can still show them getting hit and sinking.

If it covers a certain part of the game,almost no one will survive.

'well in Madoka, you knew something was up. There was a subtle sense of foreboding with the show and its setting prior to shit truly hitting the fan in ep 3.

we're getting none of that with Kancolle. Who's gonna sink, Kisaragi, 'cause the real ship sank at Wake? To kill her in 3 episodes in with her only appearing in like 4 scenes total, the most memorable of which being a slapstick bit with her getting hit with chalk? It'd just feel cheap. Shameless, even. Not saying it's absolutely impossible, but the odds of it happening, especially 3 eps in, is almost nil'.

Kisaragi isn't in the OP when way more minor characters are
The show made a weird point of putting an exclamation point on Mutsuki and Kisaragi's relationship ("Mutsuki sure loves Kisaragi, doesn't she?" "They're sisters, after all...")
Kisaragi is walking out the door of the classroom in the only key visual she's in
Mutsuki mentioned the possibility of sinking in episode 2

Yep but Kisaragi isn't part of the Torpedo Squadron therefore the chance of her sinking is almost to 0. also the girls are reincarnation from ships in the past therefore historical event will not repeat itself.

'1. At the end of ep2 Nagato said that The Operation to Capture W island would be a 6 ship assualt with just Torpedo squad 3.

2. Kisaragi isnt a member of that squad so she will not participate in that operation.'

Being labelled as PG-13 (which is arbitrarily done on MAL) was irrelevant anyway, lol. Since when does the Japanese follow American ratings when making their anime?

Not to mention that KanColle is aired during the midnight timeslot, so it's most likely aimed at adults...

Why would PG-13 ever have determined anything? For film, getting a R rating is usually just due to the presence of harsh language, blood and gore, or nudity.

Kaga is hot so would prefer not to see her scuttled, but I'm okay with the direction this show is going all in all.

Side note: aside from "Naka-chan", would be nice if they include Yuudachi's half arsed scuttling. Sick of fucking hearing "poi".

She can't sink this easy. I knew something like this might happen but not at this point so early in the anime. Since noone knows what will happen exactly, my best guess is they will find her and she will be alive, badly damaged but alive. Both Kisaragi and Shimakaze are my favorites.

Well they covered wake island in episode 3, makes me wonder if midway will happen. If so, we'll be saying bye to a lot of carriers.

Just spoiled myself with who will sank. It's not gonna look good.
Most of the anime cast are gonna say hello to underwater. Poor Teitoku, you have to follow that awful ship sinking history.

I'm going to go ahead and say that they're not going to make Midway and Guadalcanal as accurate as they made Wake Island. If they do that, about 70% of our main cast are done.
