......I quit after this, I started Azur Lane around that time. Last I heard, the summer 2023 started in august 8th 2023 and ended in october 11th 2023 No, thanks, I'd rather bash my head against the Abyss floor 12 in Genshin, the MoC in Star Rail or try to kill the Train in Nikke.

I always tell newbies they shouldnt force their way with hard difficulty since the main appeal of KC is collecting the shipgirls, specially if the equipment you get in the event appear again through quests like the two shinden kais we got last year.

Most newcomers i heard actually like the fact events last minimum one month because they can plan their schedule according to the game, they have shown their dislike for how live service and gacha games are handle today, always spamming event after event without not rest or even leave enough time to digest the new content which sometimes is very poorly made, not wonder Genshin, HSR and Blue Archive are on the top since they focus more in quality over quantity.

Also following what blindVigil said, the new blood pumped out thanks to the EN patch is giving the community kinda of a new take on KC as these people dont have any of the past memories from when KC was more "hardcore", "brutal" and "sanity" consuming.

At this point the amount of new admirals is way bigger than the vets and the past is being rewriten by their current experiences. Is it fair to say that KC post covid have become not only more or less a different game but also the fanbase on EN have changed. Now is time for some people to move on for real and never look back if they really wish so.

As a side note and as a funfact, people said during March the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park have gotten quite the number of visits than usual. Also maybe certain "Jojokaze" fan living in the state of Luisiana also maybe helped spread the interest to visit the Memorial Park.

    You know some of these days it would be nice if we were formally informed that we are dead. The EN kc kancolle community has supposedly died or fallen out of god's light like what, 6-7 times already?

    Parks had pretty much resuscitated Kancolle EN Fandom back to existence, there is also rumors that he is keeping in touch with zeco in a way to really bring Kancolle to the West. There are also those people that really stayed because of their passion of WW2 Naval History.

    KC's design philosophy is always focused on telling a story as shown with Drum's and Inagi's design while AL really wants to maximize to a larger and more profitable audience, explained why Anson looks like someone came from BA. I already lost interest from AL ever since they started making girls with gundams, it was clear I'm not the target audience anymore.

    KC did many fuckups during its height of its popularity not to mentions being only exclusive to Japan would really fan the anti-foreign, imperialist, warcrime-denyilist allegations, but having fall from grace they really pick themselves up and tried to make something that will really appeal to their real audiences. AL should have learned from KC's mistakes, but as I see now, it's a bit too late.

    With all due respect, I disagree with some of your views.
    First, how many people really like longer events (even last minimum a month)? At least from my perspective, the people around me and some of the online public opinion that I have observed prefer shorter events. It is true that the activity of AL is shorter, but there is no need to expand it to that long time in one go.
    Second, Genshin, HSR are fine, but I totally disagree with Blue Archive's so-called "top" - I've played it before and learned about it. To me, it is musically inferior to AL (even less than 《Kaiserhymnen》's elegant and《Le Chant du Départ》's rouse), only moderately artistically (although AL has indeed declined in quality recently, but it is still basically better), not even as good as a purely literary work in terms of plot and allegory, and even less to reach the peak of the glorious stories of historical illustrious figures. My attitude is more intense, but that's how I see it. Blue Archive is nothing more than a small bird that has been decorated with silver-gray paint as an "eagle".

    It's especially disappointing since pretty much every American ship after Intrepid got a pretty good reception. Even Helena didn't get as big of a backlash.

    There...was actually a localized hate toward the artist (acea4) over Helena's art quality (and likely, her artist's nationality as well) to the point that the haters either did a redraw of her CG or commissioned(?) one that suited their standards and then used client-side asset modification to swap them.

    It took quite some time for the community to warm up to ZECO's style as well, which some considered "too Azur Lane-ish" which is a strange argument to make since the guy has been in ship personification business longer than either franchises and likely had influenced both of them in some ways.

    With respect Acea, the controversy wasnt due to Helena, there were people who didnt like the artstyle and render used on her design but they admit it it was a proper design at the end(fanarts show it), most of the hate came from Acea being a very active political person on twitter, his stand on Taiwan's autonomy got him into trouble with the CN community and basically tried to harrass him, it got bad enough that even they started to replace Acea's artwork in the KC viewer they use "Ooi"

    Zeco's controversy is bizarre because AL in its early days have a lot of overlap with KC design philosophy, you can see the influence in artists like Saru when it comes to the characters and also could see Shibafu's influence in most rigging designs as well. So i can see how some people who havent been in touch with AL lately would see Zeco's designs and say it reminds them to AL(2017), just like there are people who still see KC like the game it was on 2013 and arent even aware that Nevada is in the game, i think the same happened when people saw Zeco's while being unaware of AL current design trends which indeed have nothing in common with KC today.

    There are also people saying that Scamp looks like an AL shipgirl because of her face expression and the accents of sky blue in her uniform being too saturated which is weird because KC isnt an stranger when using saturation, is just that unlike the several gacha games' artists who abuse it(because of the 5sec attention rule in marketing that influenced and turned gacha character design into what is today) KC artists understand an important concept called "point of interest"

    First off, this is cute and I’m def getting it because I love her. Second, she looks smaller here chest-wise. Which is odd because Freng keeps drawing art of her where she looks STACKED.

    Freng and Manjuu might have disagreed on her bust size during the design approval, accounting for the disparity between personal and official works. Even the artist's reference sheet for Jade seems to favor a more plump-chested interpretation, as opposed to how she first appeared ingame.
