>>720832987>What killed the hype?The other boat game
>>720834468No, that's actually Shimakazi. The trap version, Shimakazi-kun, is always a guy cosplaying as her. Not sure why it kicked off.
>>720840837JUST
>>720834869Not designed by the same artist. Also, Kancolle has always had its fair share of crappy-looking girls (though some have been ameliorated in their Kai Nis).

boatshit walked so gacha could run
>>720849607Wrong
>>720840229>i bet no one knows their namesaqua, megumin, darkness
>>720832987>what killed the hypeMassive segregation of Kancolle, with foreign IPs being banned from playing without hacks and cookie workarounds, no official translation, no meaningful updates to the game, not even UI - meaning it's stuck looking like a 2009 flash game with gif sprites, keeping only the the most diehard and invested fanbase. Blame DMM for dropping the ball that was passed to them by Kadokawa.Azur Lane tried to capitalize on their failure but they only came off as a soulless knockoff.
>>720854556To add to this, they also majorly fucked up S2 of the Kancolle anime a few years ago, with the Japanese fanbase complaining about animation quality hard enough (it was really egregious) that they had to postpone the episodes from their usual release schedule, and it was only 8 episodes, both issues probably resulting from lack of budget and abysmal mismanagement.
>>720854897More like abyssal mismanagement
Kancolle has Pokemon syndrome where the dev team is mostly untalented but stumbled on a goldmine idea, only difference is that Pokemon is backed by a mega company and was able to expand whereas Kancolle is backed by DMM (which fucked them over) and Sega (which completely outshined the dev team) and just coasts by. I can respect wanting to keep the game Japan only but its literally the exact same as it was a decade ago. They havent changed or updated anything. The only thing that keeps Kancolle relevant is the arcade version and they dont seem to give a single shit about it. Tanaka seems like a complete control freak and a nightmare to work with.
