Kantai screenshot maker4/16/2023 ![]() ![]() It may not be until years later, when someone brings it up again and you’ve completely forgotten about the lie you made up, but it will. It has been my experience (as a repentant habitual liar) that eventually a lie will come back on you. There may be times where a lie is a one-off situation there are also times where one lie begets another lie in order to maintain the previous lie, and so on. The problem with lying is that a lie tends to grow. Still, instead of trying to resolve the matter, she ultimately decides to launch with her fleet, only then revealing that she has never fought before-when she can no longer hide it. Now, granted, she does try to clear up the situation to no avail, so perhaps it isn’t fair to accuse her of lying. When asked about how many battles she was in, she tries to answer, only to be misunderstood by her friends. In this episode, Fubuki gets herself into a bit of trouble thanks to her own lie. I was actually ready to just write off doing a Christian perspective until I knew whether I was sticking with the show, but I can salvage a little something. To be honest, I didn’t really give much thought to this one. Will it be an ever increasing thing, or will the animation move away from that in favor of focusing more on the plot and characters? The former will almost certainly get the show dropped, while the latter may keep me in for the rest of the season. The deal maker or breaker will ultimately be how it handles fanservice from here. Sure, it’s a bit goofy when you really think about it, but as a show it is entertaining. The premise of the show is interesting, to say the least, and the visuals are great. I hope at that point I will be able to make a solid case for or against this show. If you are using my reviews as a basis for whether or not to try it, then perhaps wait until next week before even venturing into it. With all of this said, it certainly sounds like a good case for not watching this show however, I will reserve my judgment until I have seen at least one more episode. ![]() One scene between two cast members does not lessen my suspicions, either. Now, I may have my guard up mainly because 1) Of the previous opinion I heard and 2) Because it bears a resemblance to Strike Witches in premise, but this leads me to believe that they may go for scenes of implied lesbianism, as well. The other side of the spectrum with this is that the cast appears to be all female. In truth, the total number of fanservice moments isn’t all that much when compared to the overall run time of the episode I have just included a lot of detail in my content guide section so you know what to expect. ![]() If I had to extend one saving grace to the show, it’s that at least these moments make sense in terms of physics, but then again this is a show about girls arming themselves with battleship weaponry, surfing on the sea, and fighting monsters… so, yeah. ![]() During the second half of the show, though, we are visited with several panty shots (probably more than what I have included in the content guide, because I didn’t pause during every fall and action scene to see if there was one, I only noted what was obvious to the naked eye… no pun intended). At first, the show doesn’t have much to worry about, save for a distant shot of women in a bath, which shows no detail. Now, to be fair, I went into this with my defenses up, as I had previously read speculation that it would be filled with fanservice. Where the show may cause trouble is in its content. The characters, weaponry, scenery, enemies, and battles are all well-animated and pleasing to the eyes. Now that we have the general premise out of the way, let’s take a look under the hood, shall we? In terms of visuals, the show looks great. It’s crazy, it’s out there, and it certainly has plenty of action for those who want it. How do one girl’s arrows turn into warplanes? See my answer to the previous question. How do they survive getting hit by enemy fire with basically no armor, just regular clothing? Hey, your guess is as good as mine. Our heroines fight on the open seas by equipping themselves with ship parts and armaments, then essentially surfing on the water. Many of them look like giant sea monsters (maybe whales?) that fire cannons from their mouths, although at least one looks very much like a human woman who prefers little in the way of clothing. These warship girls use their powers to battle the Abyssal, which are some kind of monster-esque sea things that have chased humanity from the seas. Go back and read that again, because yes, you read it right. KanColle is a show about girls who possess the souls of old warships. ![]()
