Knowing the real life context here... This makes me sad.

Hits harder that her campaign is about connecting to someone especially that she unlike her friends who can "connect" to the future via their bloodline (Tact to Cesario and Heart for example)

    Have to wonder how far the musume of deceased horses will be allowed to go beyond the end of their original destiny.

    Majority of uma training campaigns are basically divergence to that. Silence Suzuka, K.S Miracle had such examples who died during their racing career...

    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?

    According to a friend who's been part of the community since the game's early days, most of the outrage over Intrepid actually came from Japanese players, and while her release did coincide with EN player fall off, it wasn't really the main cause.

    As he claims it, the actual reasons were:
    1. AL's growing popularity at the time, and EN players' growing general dissatisfaction with how Kancolle was being run. Intrepid was at most a final straw for players who were already considering dropping the game, she wasn't really a turning point on her own.
    2. The KC wikia shutting down sometime after this, though this was entirely on Fandom being shit.

    He also says that the community has actually seen some decent growth in recent years thanks to the English fan patch. Sounds to me like it's just the usual case of people who left the community, or were never in it, claiming it's dead because they don't have anything to do with it.

    ......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.

    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 ใ€ŠKaiserhymnenใ€‹'s elegant andใ€ŠLe Chant du Dรฉpartใ€‹'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.
