/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm coining the new phrase ``Whatever floats your KanColle."

What do you guys think of it?

>>12321162
How much for a shirt?

>>12321141
Still months away then.

>>12321189
As expected from Re.

>>12321162
>"
How embarrassing.

>>12321162
is this the birth of an epic new meme??

Will you keep playing after Midway?

>>12321286
Yes, I happen to be a licensed meme expert

>>12321287
I'll keep playing like normal.

>>12321287
Of course, I have to collect all the ships and marry them.

Survey time.
1. How many free ship slots left on your end?
2. Do you consider purchasing more slots?

>>12321332
6.
Maybe.

>>12321332

13 and maybe.

>>12321332
> How many free ship slots left on your end?
64/100 slots occupied. TTK level 114, never subslaved.
> Do you consider purchasing more slots?
Not really, I already have all the girls I wanted and I doubt devs will add 30 more ships that I like enough to keep.

>>12321332
0. Bought one and I feel deep regret about it.

>>12321351
>64/100 slots occupied.
How?

>>12321332
32
No, I bought enough

>>12321353
I don't keep trophy ships.

>>12321360
faggot

>>12321360
You better hope they don't become quest requirements.

>>12321368
Not him, but I still have two whole pages of formation-related quests. Feel no urgency in clearing those.

>>12321368
I've yet to see trophy ship being quest requirement. It's better to leave them free then to hoard like a jew in a basement never letting out anyway.

>>12321379
It was the same with Kai2 ships. You never know.

>>12321382
I'll just grind them again. Not like there's anything better to do.

>>12321141

>>12321479
Quite rare though for them to directly mention about name. Usually they give shitty hints and such.

But that means, she'll be hyped by those devs much. Maybe Yoshinori or Fumikane will draw her, I'd expect some picture hints soon.

>>12321496

I don't think we'll get any teasers till next week, but it would be nice if they do.

Damm I haven't see 元帥 for a long time.
Should I actually grind for it this month?
Is it easier to stay in the top500 right now or do people leave it till the last minute to do 1-5, 2-5 and 5-5?
I was just doing a few 5-4 to level up my Souryuu.

>>12321585
?
Midway is coming.

>>12321593
>Oct 8
>coming
It is fucking months away

>>12321598
We're October 3rd in case you didn't know.

>>12321598
What are you talking about? I think you mean Midway was months away.

Midway was the Spring event, it's over and gone now. Please do not project your delusions on /jp/ just because you couldn't get Shinano.

>>12321633
Who care about Shitnano anyway. Her concept art was atrocious.

Anyway, I just kai2 Soryuu, how do people clear her 4-3 quest?
Is it pure luck since when you have 2DD in the fleet you will always go north and you can't fix the compass to go into G node?

>>12321636
Last two nodes before the boss are supposedly random.

>>12321649
Try filling the last two slots with heavy cruisers.

Why are there 2 threads again?

>>12321636
Souryuu.

>>12321678
Sohryuu

>>12321676
If you had a brain you would have checked the other one.

>>12321679
Nope.

>>12321671
I do.

>>12321682
I've been in there the whole time since I thought we were going to move there instead of bothering to make a new one. Didn't know this one existed till a little while ago. Is the /a/ linkback the problem?

Do I F5 because of trollsub?
Help

>>12321694
Yes. And stop having others play for you.

>>12321694
Go with diamond

>>12321679
I'll allow you to use h, if the furigana has double おお, which is not at the beginning of the name.
For example a name that uses 十.

>>12321686
No, the fact that Kancolle is a shitty non-game is.

Oboro's getting pretty desperate for your attention.

>>12321778

This is getting out of hand...

>>12321816
Thisu isu gettingu outo ofu hando?

With all of these shitposting, it only lacks niggy.jpg


Anyway, I'm toast for Midway because I got tempted to do Musashit LSC trap.

any miracle recipe for Saiun? first time getting raped in 1-5, maybe I was lucky in the past...

>>12321896

How many tries?

>>12321898
If you're getting raped in 1-5, a Saiun won't help you.

Try seeing a social worker for your abusive relationship with that stage.

>>12321898
110 bauxites

>>12321904
It was a binge crafting, took me 21 tries and gave me a lot of Kuso and Yamashitro results.

>>12321927
>Kuso
>Yamashitro
You deserve to fail Midway.

>>12321927
What a luck

>>12321946
I get it. You're so funny.

>>12321927

But at least you got her.

Musashit

>>12321961
Musashitu

Can't resist, man. Got Taihou on my 15th try. I-I'll be okay on Midway.

>>12322023
>>12321927
Why in God's name would you do something this retarded? It's not like the ship's going to be of any use in the event unless you dump even more resources and farm like crazy.

>>12322045
As I said on last thread, I was thinking to craft TH because I'm about to hit 300k baux, so I did. I just had to do it to gain more baux.

Despite having 4HP left, Kirishima just scored a crit against Haruna. Truly, the greatest Yankee of our fleet.

>>12322050
Your bauxite isn't the only resource taking a hit when doing LSC.

>>12322054
So? Anything but baux is easy to gain. I had 200k+ for them.

>>12321332
9, yes.

>>12321585
Depends on your resource count.

I'm staying in the top 500 just sparkling DDs at 1-5.

>>12321332
154/180
I'll buy more slots along with rings when I get some ships to 99, because the process is bullshit.

>>12321636
>>12317455

>>12321332
80/100
no, not enough funds. I'm just a poorfag.

This is the first time I see a married Sazanami.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm24138151

I guess no one else is a the kancolle event in Yokohama, right ?

>>12322164
No. How does the anime look?

>>12322199
Very fucking awesome, but I don't think we'll getr the same budget per frame in the anime ...

>>12322207
Budget per frame? Isn't it CG?

>>12322215
Apparently it's from Graphinica, which has quite nice track record

>>12322207
SoL?
Action?
Beam spam?
Water skating?

I made the lottery some time in January, and I think I played for about five hours before I got bored of the whole thing. I can't see what people like about this game. I did give it a shot, and I do think the characters and game design is cute, but maybe it's just the fact that I don't like games.

I hope the anime is good so I can at least learn the character's names and be a part of the fanon culture.

>>12322286
You can read the wiki, look up your favorites, read their lines, and hear their voices. This game is for those who like time and resource management.

>>12322239
Action from what we saw.
Started with Akagi shooting an arrow that multiplicated in torpedo bombers, then fubuki showed some combat scene too.

The CG/3D parts are extremly well made, but then again they probably went all out on this one.

I only fear the anime will mostly takes place in the sea. In Arpreggio, the large amount of water didn't feel too empty thanks to the size of the boats, but there it's just a few girls surfing on the water, so...

I'm sorry, I don't remember much now due to the excitement, but I'll try to remember more from tonight session.

>>12322297
I feel like I'm resigning myself to being a secondary, and it doesn't feel good. I'll keep an open mind about it, thanks.

>>12322300
>Started with Akagi shooting an arrow that multiplicated in torpedo bombers
Sounds neat already.
I was under the impression the planes were stuck onto the arrows themselves like how it is on some carrier who's name I can't remember at the moment.

>>12322305
It's based from Calm Seas manga, apparently.

>>12322305
> how it is on some carrier who's name I can't remember at the moment.
Kaga please.

>>12322336
I seriously couldn't remember, I went and found out it was Zuikaku if it makes you feel better.

Although if the carrier's name isn't Taihou, Akagi, RJ, or Hiyou I don't really remember them too much.

>>12322341
>Zuikaku
Confirmed for Kaga.

>>12322308
If they have to base it off of a manga, that's the right one to pick. Did any of the BB girls appear?

>>12322286
>so I can at least learn the character's names and be a part of the fanon culture.
Manga and doujinshi will be your best bet.

>>12321332
89/100. Excluding Yahagi, Nachi, Ashigara, Taihou, Yamato, and Bismarck.
Yes, I will probably do it at the end of August.

It doesn't make any sense if we don't get Akagi and Kaga Kai2 during the event.

>>12322359
Kaga too OP pls nerf

>>12322368
Shinden quest would be great.

Radar crafting baits you in by throwing you a Type 32 early on, then refusing to give you anything but 12.7cm guns for the rest of the month.

Getting ready for the second event session.

I thought I'd be more calm, but actually know that I know what to expect the hype went up.

By the way, the staff (I think it was Sakura Ayane, I can't recall well) announced AL/MI will be ship-exclusive.

Meaning, if you take a ship on MI, she won't be able to get into AL maps (for the whole event? not sure). so we need to "plan carefully which ships go where".

I'll post a second, hopefully more developped summary tonight - and with some photos of the stuff I bought and that was distributed, if anyone want me to.

>>12322420
> if you take a ship on MI, she won't be able to get into AL maps
Awesome. Finally time to dust off old guard.

>>12322305
The Calm Sea manga is written by Tanaka and C2機関 - the people in charge of the KanColle franchise.

So all the showed mechanics and stuff in Calm Sea is the real canon.

>>12322420
If that's the case, good thing I raised 2 sets of Kongous.

Does this apply to support expeditions too?

>>12322420
>ship-exclusive
That's really interesting. They did say you'd need an extensive fleet to handle this. I wonder if that means that AL is difficult enough that you can't devote all your best ships to MI, and I guess this supports the idea that they're two separate event worlds. Keep sharing whatever you can.

>>12322431
> I wonder if that means that AL is difficult enough that you can't devote all your best ships to MI
I'm more interested in how they're going to implement this. Different lobby for event sorties?
Fuck, those 5 days are going to be really long ones.

Well, if you have all the kai ni girls then you have basically from everything more than enough.

It's a nice way to force players to use more than the best 10 ships but it shouldn't make things that harder.

>>12322444
> it shouldn't make things that harder.
It's not like you need good ships to finish event. Resident Kusofag finished spring E5 with unremodeled BB Kusos and Ises for fucks sake.

>>12322420
AL and MI were simultaneous missions after all, with the AL force to serve as a feint while the MI goes for its primary objective. That may mean you need to commit a couple of CVLs for AL with escorting destroyers and cruisers while heavier ships like CVs, BBs and some more lighter ships go for MI.

>>12322420
Probably a simultaneous sortie? First fleet to MI, second fleet to AL. One will be playing two maps at the same time.

>>12322449
> couple of CVLs
Hiyou and Junyou to be precise most likely, since they participated in that campaign. Good thing I leveled them up in advance

>>12322420
I hope this doesn't apply to ship equipments too,

>>12322455
Junyou and Ryujou actually. Hiyou did not participate at all. Chances are, any CVL will do.

>>12322455
Hiyou wasn't there though, it was RJ and Junyou who made the carrier raids there. Either way, I don't think the devs would specify that you really need RJ and Junyou, any 2 CVLs will do with a couple of CAs, and some DDs and CLs.

>>12322450
So how about those support fleets?

>>12322464
Herein lies the sadism of the devs, with two fleets left, you would have to prioritise which fleet is going to get support.

>>12322464
I think it's AL that's gonna be the support fleets. So it might go as this: once you clear AL, the fleet you used will be "locked" for a while and they will serve as your support fleet for MI. After all, it was planned that once the Americans reacted to the attack on Midway, AL carriers were to come south and help trap the Pacific Fleet while Yamamoto brought forward the Japanese battle line to finish the Americans

I think that's too much. From what I get in futaba/2ch, it's simply that you have to clear AL 1st, then MI. Just like World 1 -> World 2

>>12322468
Just send both supports to boss node.

>>12322475
Stop trying to cure my paranoia and force me to take it easy, faggot.

I want the PV of the anime

>>12322498
Wasn't it supposed to be released this summer? Why the delay?

>>12322505
Because they didn't expect Kancolle to be such a big hit as it is now, so they hired an actual staff and I guess they're making a better show

>>12322498
from google http://www.animeplus.tv/kantai-collection-kan-colle-episode-1-online

ソース俺（in横浜観艦式予行）

　　　　　　　　　　
横浜観艦式予行で佐倉綾音さんから夏イベントに関する情報が少しだけ発表されました。

1.AL作戦が前半、MI作戦が後半でAL作戦に出撃させた艦はMI作戦に出撃できなくなる
2.MI作戦は艦これ初の空母機動艦隊同士の決戦、慢心ダメ絶対
3.藤田咲「沈めないでください；；」

またイベント中のいろんな艦娘を声優さんが生で実演するコーナーでブリドカットセーラ恵美さんが初風を実演する際のセリフが「時津風はまだ来てないの？」
これはゲームにはないセリフなのでCVブリドカットの時津風が実装するフラグ？

イベントの詳細レポに関してはやる気が出たら書きます

【追記】
僕の予想では
E1~5（AL）+E1～5（MI）じゃなくて
E1~5（AL&MI)で
一つの海域に2艦隊同時に出撃して
AL MAP開始→ALボス撃破→自動的にMI MAP開始→MIボス撃破で1MAPクリアって感じになるんじゃないかなと…予想

前者だとフラグ立てがややこしすぎるのと完全に詰む状態が生まれてしまいそうなので

>>12322512

Why Shimakaze? Why not Fubuki?

>>12322505
>Wasn't it supposed to be released this summer?
They never said that.

>>12322528
>E1~5（AL）+E1～5（MI）じゃなくて
>E1~5（AL&MI)で
So, 15 maps?

Shit.

>>12322528
> 「沈めないでください；；」
Huh.

>>12322512
>>12322529
not even an official one

>>12322535
>じゃなくて

>>12322535
>So, 15 maps?
No, more like AL & MI are combined within E1-5. Maybe E1-3 is AL, then E4-5 is MI.

>>12322528
>2.MI作戦は艦これ初の空母機動艦隊同士の決戦、慢心ダメ絶対

I don't get this part here. Is it trying to say the battle of carriers at Midway is hopeless?

>>12322576
You don't know 慢心ダメ絶対 part?

>>12322576
No, it doesn't

>>12322300
>The CG/3D parts are extremly well made, but then again they probably went all out on this one.

Glad to hear this, they have time until January so here's hope it'll look good.

>>12321332
1. 65/100
2. No.

I'm new to the game.

>>12321332
1. 146/150
2. Yeah, i will have to, dammit.

>>12322580
Honestly no. I'm trying to understand it's pixiv dictionary entry, but it's sort if going over my head.

>>12321332
90~/100
Never.

>>12321332
1) 130/140
1) Yes. Of all the free2play games, kancolle is the only one that had forced me to hate money despite the lack of p2w features.

>>12322602
That's Hiryuu line in glossary.

>>12322512

Am I watching a JAV?

>>12322606
Ironic, isn't it?

>>12321332
1)160/180, with at least 25 being modernization material or duplicates kept for other purposes.
2) probably, or a pile of rings, i went for the 100usd point pack and still have quite a bit left after maxing docks etc.

>>12321332
87/100.

I'll have to, eventually. Probably not on Midway, but the event after.

I still only have like 6k bauxite goddamn

>>12322673
Can you live with packs of ramen? Yes? Time to spend those bucks for better purpose.

>>12321332
86/100
I feel like I should, yes.

>>12321332
Going to scrap my unremodel yuubari
Going to scrap all my spare subs
Sending akinzunmaru to the scrapyard

This should free up about 10slots or so.

Yamato, please stop. You're not in a SHAFT anime and that is going to hurt your neck.

>>12322699
>>12322707
No Haruna

No Yuubari
Absolutely disgusting.

So I have 2 spare uchi at the moment. What's the general consensus about her remodel gun? Should I level the spares for it?

>>12322707
>Winter 2015
Welp, not even 2014.

>>12322707
Is that Mutsuki?

You have no idea how happy I am.

>>12322420
>By the way, the staff (I think it was Sakura Ayane, I can't recall well) announced AL/MI will be ship-exclusive.
Panic mode.

>>12322711
Which uchi are you talking about?

>>12322420
Time for my 10-BB fleet to shine.

Carriers? Never heard of them. Are they edible?

>>12322719
Blue titkaze

man I didnt even notice this thread because of the terrible OP image.

Can the CVL spawn at 5-4-A if your fleet is composed of only carriers?

>>12322732
It's more useful than the poi gun. Keep it I guess.

>>12322714
Isn't it usually winter 2014/2015? So they could have just worded it poorly or indicated it starts after new year.

Also, I can't understand how they have a logo without a twin tail character. Are we back in the 80s?

>>12322741
It's the incoming January. It's not that hard.

>>12322741
>twin tail character.
Who do you want to be the anime token twin tail character? RJ, Zuikaku, Murasame, Souryuu or Abukuma?
Having Kongou Kai 2, but normal Yuudachi is an odd choice too.

>>12322752
Personal favorites are Zuikaku and Tone. With the game art, I'd favor a Tone kai ni character.

>>12321332
>1. How many free ship slots left on your end?
36
>2. Do you consider purchasing more slots?
Haha, nope.

Thank the lord. I crafted my first ever battleship.

>>12322707
How did Mutsuki get there

>>12322752
Did you somehow forget Isuzu?

>>12322759
Thank the lord because it wasn't Hiei.

>>12322764
Kirishima > Hiei > Haruna > Kongou

>>12322763
Just a quick list from top of my head.
I missed Tone and Isuzu and some DDs.

>>12322759
You crafted your first ever goddess

>>12322752
Amatsukaze would also almost fit twin tail, even though she keeps a lot of hair straight as well.

Fuck, the leaks so far are making me a bit paranoid, even if I know that I'm prepared.

>>12322699
>Hashimoto effect director

Kadokawa, I fucking love you.

>>12322771
>even if I know that I'm prepared
Ha, get a load of this faggot.

>>12322735
>Can the CVL spawn at 5-4-A if your fleet is composed of only carriers?
Seemed to be random for me. I run 3CA, CVL, CV and BB

>>12322764
>>12322766
Haruna is the best BB because she has the highest luck. Perfect for cut-ins against strong enemies (against weak enemies, the other stats are irrelevant). Kirishima is the 2nd best because she has the highest firepower but her luck is only 14; not enough to make a difference. And Hiei edges out Kongou in terms of being able to take damage.

Therefore, Haruna > Kirishima > Kongou > Hiei.

>>12322735
It's random. If you want to grind for exp, just slap few Reppus here and there, you won't notice big difference in lost planes.

>>12322699
> CG制作：オレンジ

I don't even like CG but it's nice to see there's effort being put into the show.

>>12322752
Why make it twin tail when you can have triple tail?

>>12322786
I'm sorry, triple tail is not canon.

>>12322759
Haruna is the best BB because she's the cutest and has the best personality. Marry her. She was my first BB too. ID 20.

>>12322778
>Kongou > Hiei
Hiei > Kongou*, fuck.

>>12322792
If you want to put it that way, Iku has only one sidetail and the hair decoration on her left side is just for show.

>>12322792
> triple tail is not canon.
What.

>>12322735
>Not Ctrl+F'ing "Kancolle" or "Kantai Collection".
And yes, OP failed us again with a fugly image.

Looks like websites are now advertising tablet computers based on whether or not they are able to play KanColle.

>>12322825
Who are you quoting?

>>12322843
Dwayne, is that you?

>>12322850
You mean The Rock? Why would he be on /jp/?

>>12322872
You never know who's on /jp/.

We had a ghost posting last week. He went away once we told him that Otome Function finally came out.

Eventfag again. Here's how I took the infos.

If you chose to sortie your Zuikaku (ID:xxx) on an AL map (not sure if it's a real choice you make, or if the "AL tag" is put on her during the sortie), you won't be able to use her for MI maps. Probably, your "virgin" Zuikaku(ID:yyy) can be sortied on MI maps.

Really, they gave very few technical details - and seiyuu aren't devs - but that kind of mechanism really makes sense with what they called a two front operation.

Since the current game design doesn't allow for "simultaneous" battles - and that they want AL and MI to be separated, at least to some extent, having operation exclusive fleets/ships give a sense of a two fronts event : either your ships are in MI, or they are in AL - they can't be in both place "at the same time".

Note : once again, this is nothing but a hopefully logical interpretation of the very very few nontechnical words voice actors gave us about a game mechanics, so it's just guesses.

>>12322898
None of my Zuikakus are virgins.

>>12322898
Rough summary of the PV :
1 : they showed visuals of the old/new anime sprite. those can be found on the anime website (I believe)
2 : Akagi, Kongou and Fubuki surfing on the ocean
3 : Abyss boss appears from the sea ()
4 : Akagi gets ready to shoot an arrow (no plane attached)
5 : Arrow launched, then it splits in a spark effect, in 5 planes
6 : some planes launch torpedoes toward the boss, and take off
7 : Kongou stops on the water, aim her canon on the target, and fire 8 AP rounds that explodes in a pink splash
8 : Fubuki comes and slides between the explosions of Kongou's APs. a abyss DD appears, she shoot it in the face.
9 : Fubuki launches torpedoes on 6 DD underwater.

Most of the scenes are CG made, and very well made I must say. I really noticed all the CGs after the second time.

>>12322469
I hope your theory is correct, with the AL strike fleet becoming the temporary support fleet for Operation MI throughout the event duration.

>>12322898
>Probably, your "virgin" Zuikaku(ID:yyy) can be sortied on MI maps.
That will be inline with the current game mechanics. I cannot see the devs being such a dick that they will not allow admirals to sortie with spare ships on another maps.

>>12322832
Not really surprising since that would help customers choosing white-box Win8.1 tablets. MSFT should be proud that their Win8.1-based devices are doing well in Japan.

I wish Kadokawa wouldn't be such assholes and upload the PV now.

>>12322924
>さらに8月4日夜からは公式サイトほかで、先行PVが配信される。

>>12322924
Give them some time asshole.

>>12322898
Thank you for the information.

I hope my 3CV/3CVL team will be enough. I have enough BBs, CAs and CLs to split, but if carriers are required on both fronts, my fleet will be stretched too thin.

>>12322825
>>12322843
>>12322872
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU'RE QUOTING!!

>>12322898
I doubt that's how it is going to be.

>>12322954
AL was just entirely composed of CVLs. So it's going to be probably CVLs and escorts on AL, CVs and heavy ships on MI.

>>12322966
Nah, they're certainly sadistic enough to pull that off.

Also, the E5 maps of AL and MI will be linked. You won't get clear the map or your rewards even if you break the gauge on one. Instead, you must break the gauge on the other E5 within one hour of breaking the first. If you fail, both gauges recover.

>>12322966

>>12322992

>>12322992
[【追記】 僕の予想では E1~5（AL）+E1～5（MI）じゃなくて E1~5（AL&MI)で 一つの海域に2艦隊同時に出撃して AL MAP開始→ALボス撃破→自動的にMI MAP開始→MIボス撃破で1MAPクリアって感じになるんじゃないかなと…予想]

No, all the maps will be linked, and there is no bullshit like marking ships or you need to do it in an hour simply because it's not needed - you just need to kill the AL boss to even get to the MI map, and you don't go to HQ in between. That is enough to make sure you need 2 seperate fleets.

>>12323006
>僕の予想では
That was just the guy's predictions. The only fact we got was that ships who go to AL cannot go to MI.

>>12323011
Now I feel stupid, thanks for pointing that out

>>12323011
Not a fact.

>>12323011
I doubt the GUI can support this function.
If they really implement this, you actually need double the amount of equipments.

>>12323025
Another problem is whether AL-support and MI-support will be distinct. Having two separate main fleets is alright, but adding four support fleets to that would be pushing it.

>>12323006
100k resource is enough they say

>>12322898
This place become more retard and paranoid than wikifag

>>12323045
Sure it's not 300k?

To whom should I dissolve my Maruyu to: Moosashi or Taihou?

>>12323094
Wait and see if they make luck relevant for carriers next week. I've been saving them just in case.

>>12323097
I think she'll be a drop in the event again.

Midway is literally less than a week away. Why aren't you panicking yet?

>>12323121
Midway? Is it delicious?

>>12323121
Because we're prepared.

>>12323121
I thought it was still months away.

>>12323124
I'm not.

>>12323121

I thought Spring event would be Midway so I've been stockpiling bauxite and leveling my CVs since then.

>>12323121
I've long resigned myself to my fate.

>>12323121
Calm before the storm, and there is nothing to panic about until we actually know what's coming.

4 days

>>12322707
>Mutsuki
My life just got brighter.

>>12323121
The wait was so long that my hype died down a bit

>>12323138
Wait, that's Mutsuki?

Couldn't even recognize her without the glassy eyes.

>>12323121
Let me clear 5-5 first before I start thinking about Midway. I'm hoping to drop my resources down to 250k so I don't accidentally hit the cap during the event.

Should I level Akaga to 80 or is it going to be 77?

>>12323148
Level her up to 88 just in case of devs being bigger dicks than usual.

>>12323148
We're not Tanaka-san you know.

Do it if it bothers you that much.

>>12323148
>Akaga
Do you know something we don't?

>>12323121
>tfw HQ lvl 20

>>12323148
After the level 80 requirement for Haruna Kai Ni, it's safe to say that Akagi would require the same or more since she is a freebie for newbie admiral.

>>12323168
Nickname for 1st CarDiv.

>>12323171
>>12323159
Akaga is not only Akagi, but Kaga as well. Do you even tags?

>>12323177
No it's the yuri airing.

>>12323178
Yeah and?
I only talk about Akagi since she is a special case here.

>>12323178
Then level up both of them to 88 and fuck off.

>>12323184
Yeah, so it's /u/'s nickname for them.

AKASHI BETTER FUCKING DROP

SHE WAS AT FUCKING MIDWAY.

>>12323199
Stop posting like a retard.

>>12323199
She'll drop into LSC for the duration of the event

>>12323199

Boss drop at MI E5, you need S rank and she has like 1% chance of drop.

Good luck!

>>12323243
Try not to rage too much at people who get her in the process of clearing the map.

>>12323243
Don't forget that she'll be added at the last week of the event and that the boss formation will include a BB princess.

>>12323274
Most people won't care about a ship they already have.

>>12323274
Not to mention you'll be forced to go without CVs due to map rules, and you'll never get air superiority.

>>12323274
Imagine if you really can't bring a girl to both operations and they pull a Yahagi in the last week of the event. All of your best ships are locked out of farming because you focused on the wrong one. I almost want it to happen just to see if people flip their shit harder than when Yahagi ended up in LSC.

>>12323283
I want another crane equipment so that I can repair 5 ships at the same time.

>>12323283
2% chance total for Akashi and Asahi, then.

You know there will be a dude who will get 5 Akashis (in addition to his Spring one) and no Asahi in some 300 runs.

>>12323288
Nice. Umi no Sunaipah will show her worth once again.

>>12323292
Not worth blowing 100k resources for a single piece of crane equipment that you can get in LSC a month after the event.

>>12323293
That works too, I guess.

>>12323266

But I already got mine.

>>12323302
Well, if they're going to add a new ship there along with the one week extension, it's not gonna be her since there's no point in adding her.

>>12323297
You'll probably need the same amount to get her from LSC.

>>12323317
I'll rather take my chances with LSC than with the map. LSC takes mere seconds.

>>12322707
Why do they love Kaga so much? Is this based on pixiv r-18 rankings or what?

Interesting, I jumped 710 ranks just by completing 2-5 and 1-5. Are people hibernating or something?

Going to clear after event most likely. Even those miserable 5k that 2-5 and 1-5 takes might possibly make some difference.

It's not like you can't regen/stockpile while the event is ongoing, I don't get these people.

>>12323528
Not sure if joke or trolling.

Don't you tell me to try my best this week as well. Midway is upon is. There's no doing your best here. It's do or die. If you don't clear the event they're taking your girls away.

>>12322752
Yuudachi is love, kai 2 or not. Even better if she gets a kai 2 in the middle of the show.

>>12323584
Nah, it's going to be easy. Watch me conquer it like Magellan's voyage.

There is no need to worry, Midway is days away.

>>12323623
No. I'm taking a week off. Kancolle dealt enough damage to my already damaged mental health.

>>12323584
I'm not even going to try event, stopped playing for months and i just started again to marry Atago.

>>12323626

Are you ready to be flooded?
>>>/a/111547933

>>12323806

>>12323806
/a/ knows to behave in these threads.

Or at least I should like to think so.

>>12323806
Don't you want to discuss your favorite waifu here in /jp/? Ignore the fact that he wanted it removed right when info about the anime was revealed.

>>12323806
Are we going to get flooded with multiple kancolle threads now?

>>12323801

>>12323806
Fun fact: /a/ and jp/ are the same person.

>>12323806
We can have a character and miscellaneous discussion thread and a game discussion one.
No problem.

>>12323820
True, but the content of the discussions aren't the same.

>>12323823
> No problem.
But it is a problem for me. I don't want to flood the board with more threads, one is already too much when there is nothing but /pol/ or /v/ tier stuff to discuss.

>>12323823
Well, if push comes to shove, /a/ can move its threads to /vg/ and both sides will be happy.

>>12323845
It's just the /a/ thread on /jp/. Nothing will change.

>>12323806
I will never understand 4chan mods.

B-B-But muh yuri spam...

>>12323852
You meant /jp/? /a/ doesn't discuss the game.

>>12323845
So you want to take /a/'s waifu dumping in?

>>12323861
It's history.

>>12323862
Ironically, /a/ Kancolle thread is a lot closer to /jp/ Touhou thread than /jp/ Kancolle thread.

>>12323865
I don't want /a/ thread here. Period. I don't want even our own thread here sometimes when retards awake.

>>12323862
Neither does /vg/. Have you been to the place?

Since /jp/ won't be happy with the influx, moving the /a/ threads to /vg/ seems like the ideal choice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQX-UkDIjzc

>>12323806
Nothing really happened and things stay the same though.

It all boils down to the mod hating generals and not wanting chained threads but we can still make kancolle threads on /a/.
Basically "Wait til tomorrow to make a thread and wait a while before reposting it after the new one dies".

People are blowing the shitstorm out of proportion and not reading the mod's posts.

>>12323926
A bit of everything.

>>12323926
I'm guessing 3-4CV, 3CVL, 4BB, 3DD, 1CAV, 2CA, 2CL.

>>12323886
Speaking about boats, 日本の軍艦メカニズム finally arrived. Whoever suggested me that book, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's right what I needed. Shame there is no coloured pictures, they would've helped with inner detailing very much. Though even without them I'll manage somehow.
Started building Murasame right away. I kinda screwed up with scale though, I never expected mere destroyer to be this huge. Her hull turned to be 147.4 cm long. I shudder to even think about building Musashi now, she would be twice as huge.

>>12323937
So basically business as usual? Hell, I like it when there's not chained threads and they aren't pumped out when they autosage.

>>12323937
It's funny because that thread is probably the most /a/ related the thread has ever been since they actually have something to talk about.

>>12323937
>People are blowing the shitstorm out of proportion and not reading the mod's posts.

I would read the posts but he can't into the English language.

>>12323937
I'm still worried about the secondary shit. Don't you discuss that all the time in the /a/ general? Because that's clearly not /a/ related and will therefore need to find another place to go.

>>12323948
I like it more this way, we just need the mods help to deal with the trolls/shitposters that make multiple threads to start shit and we'll be back to where he wants us to be.

Both sides end up happy and satisfied.
Its hard to talk to the guy during a shitstorm though so I wish he was reading this and tell me if im right.

>>12323955
I guess game discussion on /a/ would be banned and belong here but the rest is allowed and /a/ related.

>>12323955
The secondary shit are discussed by the shitposters who always discuss meta. Fun fact: what makes /a/ Kancolle threads terrible and divulge in to shitposting is behavior borrowed from here.

>>12323971
The level the /a/ threads are at is on a tier of its own. The shitpost titans that are the /a/ Kancolle threads dwarf the kind of shitposts the /jp/ threads get.

>>12323971
>>12323981
I'm curious as to what you call a shitpost.

>>12323981
I honestly find the /a/ threads to be better in some aspects, I wish we would actually discuss the mangas and other secondary works here. Maybe it's because I'm at the point I already know everything about the game though.

>>12323981
> threads dwarf the kind of shitposts the /jp/ threads get.
Unless they have a field day with Japanese war "crimes" every thread I doubt anything can dwarf shitposting that's going on here.

>>12323981
English please.

>>12323981

At least the /jp/ kancolle shitpsts are kind of educational.

What happens on the /a\ thread is mere yuri, imagedump and muh waifu

>>12323990
>What happens on the /a\ thread is mere yuri, imagedump and muh waifu
These are the shitposts, the shit that gets reposted every single day with the same images and the same tired copypasta.
And we cant forget about the 3-4 threads that get posted because the resident shitposter keeps making threads to start shit. I wish the mod would do something about that.

>>12323990
>Yuri
Please leave, faggot.

>>12323990
Thanks to that, now I know that Kunrei-siki a sit.

>>12323990
At least those don't derail the thread as much though.

Why are we even sticking to one shitty general here when 2hufags get the whole board to make shitty imagedumps or whatever. Us KanColle fans need to rise up! Start a revolution! Take the board from the dying franchise by force!

>>12323991
Yuri spamming has stopped as of late.

>>12323987
Is there ever a discussion? I only see image dumps. It's even worse than the im@s gen in this regard.
It's also hard to discuss related material when the manga that got translated are boring while the light novels (which has slightly more worthwhile content) are untouched.

>>12323986
When the discussion evolves to meta, and people flinging, "YOU DON'T BELONG HERE FAGGOT."

i.e:
>/a/ is discussing Kancolle characters, manga, 4koma, occasional game discussion
when suddenly:
>god guys, in a few months, we will have anime and secondaries, I will miss these threds :(
>yeah man, Kancolle threads wil be ruined then, fuck secondaries

>stop discussing game shit, go back to /jp/
>fuck you, you go back to /jp/, I've been here since the first thread

>FUCK TRIPFAGS

>yuri doesn't belong here
>yes it does, /a/ has always been yuri

>>12324003
Yeah, the guy finally got tired.
The others are still ongoing though.

>>12324007
>greentext

>>12324004
I only go there now and then but 4koma and stuff gets posted and translated quite a lot, I can't say I have that much of an issue with "image dumping" as long as it's not just mindless dumping without discussion and at least is new art, I mean it is an imageboard.

I have no idea why the mod on /a/ decide remove kancolle threads after months of their existing, right when there is an official anime PV released in Japan. But why don't we leave that shit alone and be happy waiting for the event coming next Friday.

There is no shitposts in the /jp/ threads because the threads are fucking dead.

The other stuff people are complaining here is nonsense.

>>12324007
>>stop discussing game shit, go back to /jp/
Is a legitimate thing but it rarely creates a shittorm.
>>FUCK TRIPFAGS
Never seen this.

>>12324014
See
>>12323958
>>12323963
They weren't removed, he just wants us to lower the frequency of the threads and make like one a day or one every two days

Honestly, its like no one in the /a/ thread bothered to read the mod posts and just went along with the shitstorm.

>>12324021
You're some high level retard.

Shut up and give me the PV.

>>12324015
> the threads are fucking dead.
I wish. This thread sure looks fucking alive and well with all this pointless discussion going on.

>>12324026
Let me see if I can find my time machine, give me a week.

>>12324021
For months there was a sort of self-imposed policy of waiting several hours between threads. I wonder what happened to that. Either some newfriends didn't get the memo or it's someone trying to start shit. That might be too subtle for shitposters, though.

It's kind of funny that some people act like the /jp/ threads are better.

Outside of being dead, 3/4 of the posts are just passive aggressive nonsense.

>>12324031
>I wonder what happened to that.
The yuri shitposter started making threads to start shit so there were often multiple threads up and chained threads to avoid shitty OP threads.

If the mod just deleted the threads that are made exclusively to start shit then we could easily go back to just having one thread a day or night time kancolle threads.

>>12324021
>he just wants us to lower the frequency of the threads and make like one a day or one every two days
That's not what it means.
>>12324031
It's still upheld. A new one is created a soon as the other one is dead only happens when "discussion" was still going strong.

>>12324032
Well, no idea why some people think they need to talk about the /a/ threads here.

>>12324036
>>12324023
Then what does it mean?
Because he clearly says threads about the manga/anime PV/4koma and other anime related things are allowed twice.

>>12324018
>Is a legitimate thing but it rarely creates a shittorm.
You're joking, right?
>>12324018
>Never seen this.
People impersonate the trips and names and try to shitpost all the time. That's why the STALKER guy got a trip in the first place when he just used to namefag. Not that I defend those guys or anything, I just find that it increases shitposting when you make a mountain out a mole hill and bring up the issue in the first place.

>>12324037
Because the mod sent everyone in the kancolle /a/ thread here

>>12324043
Your post doesn't even make sense.

>>12324039
Yes and that's different from a thread "for anime, manga and kancolle related things".
Basically don't create one when for no specific reason.

The mod was an idiot. There is no way to defend.

>>12324040
>You're joking, right?
Of course not. The only one that actually complains is the yurifag who says that game discussion shouldn't be allowed if yuri isn't allowed.
>People impersonate the trips and names and try to shitpost all the time.
Maybe that happened before I came, but haven't seen this in 6 months.

>>12324007
Looks like you're just trashtalking a little bit.

Outside of STALKER and maybe not even a handful drive-by posts. There aren't any tripfags in the /a/ threads.

Is anyone here doing the weekly or has no motivation at all?

I still don't understand why this isn't in /vg/ outside of stubborn people who think they're /jp/sies or something dumb like that. I don't understand why the rhythm games thread is here either, I mean, the llsif thread is in /vg/. What goes on in here is the same as what would happen in a /vg/ thread, except for the type of shit posting.

Is anyone else here looking forward to the AL/MI mainly to laugh at the f/a/gs and wikia mouthbreathers when they wind up losing important ships? It was easily the most entertaining part of the otherwise boring spring event for me.

>>12324109
Me, every week.

>Mutsuki confirmed for relevant
So, why aren't you leveling her for her soon kai-ni?

>>12324118
There were threads on /vg/ and they fell dead after a while. Make another attempt if you want, maybe it will stick this time around.

>>12324109
Probably retiring after Midway.

>>12324121
You're horrible
>>12324125
Don't, I don't want to go there.

>>12324111
No

>>12324125
I was one of the 3(?) or so people who actually tried moving. The stubborn fucks who didn't migrate made it fail.

>>12324123
Yep, same. I wish I could hate this game more, but I keep coming back.

>>12324124
She gets plenty just from expeditions.

>>12324127
I wish I could.

Why isn't 2hu on /vg/, why aren't VNs on /vg/, why aren't kigs on /cgl/, why aren't imagedumps on /c/. Literally every topic /jp/ discusses can justifiably go to other boards.

>>12324139
>why aren't VNs on /vg/
They are, there's just a /vg/ VN general and a /jp/ VN general

>>12324139
>why aren't VNs on /vg/
They are.
>>>/vg/75644718

>>12324139
There are vn and h game threads on /vg/. As for Touhou, they don't actually, you know, discuss the games. It's just waifus and which Touhou has the best smelling farts. I have no idea what /cgl/ and /c/ are actually about since I never go there, so I'll leave those alone.

>>12324147
>>12324153
That's kind of the point, do you want to lose even more what actual content this board has? We're down to nothing but shitposting for the past few years outside of VNTS and untranslated VNs.

>>12324162
I'll be completely honest, I only come here for the doujin event generals. I hated that this thread was here because of how shitty this place is.

>>12324165
Fuck off normalfag.

>>12322536
Fujita Saki(Akagi's VA) basically pleaded to Admirals to not sink her in Midway Event.

>>12324256
Its okay, Akagi is safe.
The one sinking is kaga

>>12324256
Is this maybe her special line.

>>12324257

Are people actually doing this?

>>12324309
No.

>>12324309
Yes.

>>12324309
There will be people doing it unintentionally, mark my words.
