Usually I hate anime girls winking (often, the closed eye is upside down or otherwise unnatural), but it totally works for me here.

@ Nezchan I know how you feel. Everytime I try to wink for an extended amount of time I look as if I'm in extreme agony and pain....but, y'know, because anime.

So, is there a specific gender for the admiral? Or is it just that ppl draw whatever they wish when it comes to it?

@flips the admiral is confirmed to be a girl and Kongou in the anime is pretty much confirmed to be head over heals for her. We just have no flippin clue what the admiral looks like

By default the admiral is a self-insert. Anime admiral is basically a non-entity, and it looks like Kongou is going to end up with Fubuki

Yeah. The fact that the anime actually never shows the Admiral is just to keep the Admiral as a self-insert character.

Also, there doesn't need to be one admiral. So "everyone is admiral".

I wonder how i should draw the admiral myself
Cause someone sent me a commission with a reference pic of hagino from blue drop as a suggestion

^Drawing an Admiral is basically drawing an OC
If s/he really wants the Admiral to be like Hagino, then I guess nothing is wrong with drawing someone with features like Hagino, but not Hagino herself.
I guess it's more fun to draw how you like it, though. Maybe you should ask him/her the detail?

@ColonalCat: Wait, where is it confirmed that the admiral in the anime is female?

I thought the pronoun used in HorribleSubs were all male pronoun for the admiral??

That's how they sub it because in English it's unusual to not use either of the gendered pronouns to refer to someone. But as far as what the characters are actually saying, they're pretty vague and don't use any.

@onyxpanda the translators inserted "her" for the first few episodes, but changed it after a while. So it probably is just a self-insert. Which makes sense, considering everyone and their dog wants to wife Kongou

^Admiral does not exist. There is no admiral. Kongou is delusional.

But I will be SUPER happy if admiral is a girl ' '
Or else it may turn into a stupid, boring, lame, terrify harem het. Nightmare to me ' '

Actually, the French sub refer to admiral as female "elle". They make sure to make the show as yuri as possible. Last time I checked about the translation group however, they are not that fan of yuri genre. However, KanColle might be an exception as the French sub has lot more of subtext that the English translation has attempted to hide/tone down.
