It's kind of impressive how, if you don't know the ships and their relationships very well, this makes no sense whatsoever. But clearly from the comments if you do, it works really well.
Isn't that pretty normal if you don't know a fandom?
Yeah, but there is the development of kind of getting what the characters are about when you read a bit about them through doujins, unless they're OOC of course.
Also, I got a third Akagi. So Kaga and her Akagi harem of 3 xD And the next event is around Carriers so we'll see.
@Nezchan You should succumb to our side and start playing KanColle xD Also watch the anime :P
I think Kancolle is like Touhou where you just kinda get to know the ships and their relationships by reading a bunch of doujin (at least that's how I got into Kancolle). It feels like most of the "canon" was created by the fandom anyway.
Tried that, but I've never really been able to get all these similar-looking characters straight in my head. Touhou was easy. Strike Witches was easy. Lucky Star, Madoka, PreCure, I could figure them all out without watching/playing the originals (although I watched S1 Strike Witches later on). But KanColle I find impenetrable for the most part.
KanColle has a metric shit ton of characters in it, and girls of the same class tend to look similar for obvious reasons (minus oddities like Murakumo). Understandable where you come from.
The issue I take is that if I read your comment correctly, you haven't watched Madoka yet? Dear God, spoiled or no, you are missing out on a treat amongst treats, Nez.
