| Long time Kancolle fan here, been looking forward to this season since it was first announced years ago! I thought this was a great first episode. I love the mood change in comparison to the first season, and the historical connections to real life events are neat to see and appreciated. It was also nice to see a bunch of different Kanmusu we haven’t seen animated yet, and I even got to see one of my favorites - Abukuma! I also thought the animation was really well done and looked great. The OP/ED are certainly departures from the first season, but it makes sense given the mood of this season. A shame this will only be 8 episodes, but at least we are getting some more Kancolle content! Looking forward to the rest of the episodes. If anyone is interested, there’s a neat video on YouTube that gives some perspective about real-life events that happened during World War II using Kancolle characters, including Shigure and her fleet during The Battle of Surigao Strait: https://youtu.be/tUsHOKW6akY |

| Does the part before Opening song (Part with Shigure and another Air craft carrier) refer to any historic event? |

| Its been so long since the first season but this time its not Fubuki as the MC but Shigure. This time its more serious. |
Marina2 said: Does the part before Opening song (Part with Shigure and another Air craft carrier) refer to any historic event? Yes, the Ryuho was attacked by 4 Grumman TBF Avengers on 20 June 1944 during the Battle of the Philippine Sea. She sustained only minor damage. 19 - 20 June 1944: Launch strikes against American TF 58 on 19 June. On the following day, at 1730 Mobile Fleet is attacked by enemy carrier planes. RYUHO is part of Force `B' comprised of JUNYO and HIYO and screened by NAGATO and MOGAMI and eight destroyers. At 1810 RYUHO comes under attack from four bomb-loaded TBFs from USS ENTERPRISE and suffers slight damage from near-misses, but her navigating and fighting capability is not impaired. (The damage was light enough to not be remarked upon in Ugaki's diary which does mention the single hit on CHIYODA.) Source: http://www.combinedfleet.com/Ryuho.htm |
