KanColle: The Movie

I have played the game of KanCollect for a long time. Though this movie is not as good as what I have expected, the TV version and the game is excellent. I had a very good plot and I do recommend everyone who likes this kind of movie to watch it. The Girl and Panzar is another show that has a similar world setting but that one is dealing with tanks.

Insanity, this is thy playground.

This film is highly creative, but leaves one wondering whether it's creativity or insanity that sparks the plot. Evidently based on a TV series, it appears one would have to watch the series first to even begin to understand what's going on here.

Take your everyday anime girliscious, allow her to float/walk/skim on ocean waters, load her down with miniaturized battleship weaponry and airplanes manned by teeny, tiny girls / robots / whatever they are... and you have a movie that makes no sense. Those who stick through to the end will be no more informed than those who stop halfway through.

I really tried to give this 4 stars, but there just wasn't enough good stuff in this to squeak out of the 3-star "goofy movie" slot. This might work as a "rainy Saturday popcorn" movie or "bring your friends over for beer and laughs". It's somewhat interesting to watch but total nonsense.

It is true: anime has been making the weirdest stuff on the planet for decades.
