Two news items from Kancolle hit recently: 1) anime is delayed into 2015, 2) PV is available. The video in particular took over the Twitter by storm as dozens of surfing montages were shared (static and animated).

I managed to stick with the PV for about 2/3 before giving up, so I saw the surfing, arrows splitting into airplanes, and a battleship firing. It looked terribad (and my Area 11 friends agree). An animeblogger (I think either Kuro or Sabas) tweeted: "they could've easily adopted [the] 4-koma, but they chose to be dumb".

Still, Wonderduck blogged "I am so aroused right now". If I were still Russian, I would've employed a special offensive proverb about family composition that those rude people produced just for the occasion, but as an American anime fan I am for the big tent. Kancolle is kinda like iDOLM@STER in that it aims for a diverse franchize, parts of which appeal to a particular fan. I found that I'm not fond of the core iM@S games, but I love the music. Likewise, I love charming comic strips inspired by Kancolle. Here, have some Samidare:
