kantai collection
Kantai Collection (艦隊これくしょん Kantai Korekushon, lit. "Combined Fleet Collection"), abbreviated as KanColle (艦これ KanKore), is a Japanese free-to-play shipgirl-themed game developed by c2_kikan under Kadokawa Games and published by DMM. It is currently available exclusively in Japanese, though it has started to introduce some English-language graphical assets, and accessing the game for non-Japanese players requiring unconventional means.
Gameplay
Gameplay is centered upon building squadrons composed of individual characters represented as cards with different attributes, and then sending said squadrons out on missions. The player takes on the role of an Admiral (提督 teitoku) and organises their fleets in battle in order to win. Combat is largely automated, and manual actions by the player include micromanagement such as building and repairing.
Each of the characters are moe personifications of World War II naval warships, which are depicted as cute girls known as "ship girls" (艦娘, kanmusu). These personified warships are based on real life vessels which are explained in detail within the game; the physical characteristics, appearances and personalities of each of the girls correlate in some way to the real life vessel.
Originally, the roster of the shipgirls was designed to be limited to the IJN and major players of the Imperial Japanese Army, and its final mission being an attack on the base, akin to how World War 2 played out for Japan. Due to the game's popularity, it has since introduced shipgirls from other Axis nations and wartime rival factions, including ships from the U.S. Navy, the British Royal Navy and even the somewhat-neutral Swedish Navy.
As of early 2022, KanColle features ships from following navies: Imperial Japanese Navy, Imperial Japanese Army, Maritime Safety Agency/Japan Coast Guard, United States Navy, British Royal Navy, Royal Australian Navy, Dutch Koninklijke Marine, French Marine nationale, Italian Regia Marina, German Kriegsmarine, Военно-морской флот СССР, Swedish Svenska marinen, and Republic of China Navy. With the most numerous non-Japanese navies being United States Navy and Regia Marina.
Media
The game has developed into a much larger media franchise; various media including multiple manga series and light novels have been released, in addition to an officially licensed tabletop role-playing game. A PlayStation Vita game was released February 2016. A television anime adaptation aired Winter 2015, with a sequel season airing in 2022, and an anime movie was released in 2016. There is also a Japan only 3D arcade game Kancolle Arcade that was released in 2016.
History
The web browser game was launched on April 23, 2013, originally designed to run in Adobe Flash. An Android app version was released on August 1st, 2016. As of January 2015, the game had 2.5 million registered players. The game migrated to HTML5 prior to worldwide decommissioning of Adobe Flash in browsers.
During the Japanese launch of Azur Lane, several disputes emerged between some members of each of their communities involved in either game, with each criticizing the other's game for their different themes, gameplay mechanics and character design motifs. Some members of the KanColle fandom called Azur Lane "a generic idol game with a ship-themed rigging", while some members of the Azur Lane fandom called KanColle "a far-right ultranationalist game with outdated mechanics and boring character designs".
Later on both IPs clashed over the use of the term "kanmusu" which DMM had originally trademarked in 2014 but which was used by Manjuu in couple of their Japanese advertisements. Ultimately, due to wanting to avoid any potential denouncements or due to DMM's private demands, this led to Manjuu publicly apologizing and switching to a different term (艦船, kansen) when talking about their warship personifications.
Nevertheless, due to various factors, primarily DMM policies to keep the game exclusively inside Japan, Azur Lane has supplanted KanColle as the more popular shipgirl game internationally, though KanColle maintains a considerable amount of followers outside of Japan, and appears to hold the place as the dominant shipgirl franchise in Japan, with Fate/Grand Order and Touhou challenging it and recently with the emergence of Umamusume.
Tagging
- DO NOT tag images with mecha musume. They do not accurately fit the tag's origins and would drown out other mecha musume art. Consider using rigging or machinery instead.
- DO NOT tag images with personification. Reference: topic #10067.
- DO NOT tag images with ships of the same class as sisters. Reference: topic #10819.
- ONLY tag images with ship, warship or submarine if an actual, literal ship or submarine is present, such as a shipgirl with her historical counterpart.
- ONLY tag images with World War II if it depicts some element of the war beyond simply the ship girl, such as a battle or historical scene.
- ONLY tag images with Imperial Japanese Navy if it depicts elements such as the Imperial Japanese Navy's uniforms or historical figures.

游戏玩法的重点是建立由具有不同属性的卡牌代表的各个角色组成的中队，然后派出所述中队执行任务。玩家扮演提督teitoku的角色，组织舰队进行战斗以取得胜利。战斗很大程度上是自动化的，玩家的手动操作包括建筑和修理等微观管理。
每个角色都是二战海军战舰的萌化身，被描绘成被称为“舰娘”的可爱女孩。这些拟人化战舰基于现实生活中的船只，并在游戏中进行了详细解释；每个女孩的身体特征、外表和个性都在某种程度上与现实生活中的船只相关。
最初，舰娘的名单被设计为仅限于日本海军和日本帝国陆军的主要参与者，其最终任务是对基地的攻击，类似于第二次世界大战对日本的影响。由于这款游戏的受欢迎，它已经引入了来自其他轴心国和战时敌对派系的舰娘，包括来自美国海军、英国皇家海军，甚至有些中立的瑞典海军的舰艇。
截至 2022 年初，KanColle 收录来自以下海军的舰艇：日本帝国海军、日本帝国陆军、海事安全局/日本海岸警卫队、美国海军、英国皇家海军、澳大利亚皇家海军、荷兰皇家海军陆战队、法国海军陆战队、意大利皇家海军海军陆战队、德国海军、Военно-морской флот СССР、瑞典瑞典海军和中华民国海军。数量最多的非日本海军是美国海军和意大利皇家海军。
该游戏已发展成为更大的媒体特许经营权；除了官方授权的桌面角色扮演游戏外，还发布了包括多部漫画系列和轻小说在内的各种媒体。 PlayStation Vita 游戏于 2016 年 2 月发布。电视动画改编版于 2015 年冬季播出，续集季于 2022 年播出，动画电影于 2016 年发布。还有一款日本唯一的 3D 街机游戏 Kancolle Arcade 于 2016 年发布。
该网页浏览器游戏于2013年4月23日推出，最初设计为在Adobe Flash中运行。 Android应用程序版本于2016年8月1日发布。截至2015年1月，该游戏拥有250万注册玩家。在全球浏览器中的 Adobe Flash 停用之前，该游戏已迁移到 HTML5。
在《碧蓝航线》在日本推出期间，参与这两款游戏的各个社区的一些成员之间出现了一些争议，每个人都批评对方游戏的不同主题、游戏机制和角色设计主题。 KanColle 粉丝圈的一些成员称《碧蓝航线》是“一款以船舶为主题的普通偶像游戏”，而《碧蓝航线》粉丝圈的一些成员则称 KanColle 是“一款具有过时机制和无聊角色设计的极右极端民族主义游戏”。
后来，两个 IP 因“kanmusu”一词的使用发生冲突，DMM 最初在 2014 年为该词注册了商标，但 Manjuu 在其日本广告中使用了该词。最终，由于想要避免任何潜在的谴责或由于DMM的私人要求，这导致Manjuu公开道歉并在谈论他们的战舰拟人化时改用不同的术语（舰船，kansen）。
然而，由于各种因素，主要是 DMM 政策将游戏限制在日本境内，《碧蓝航线》已经取代 KanColle 成为国际上更受欢迎的舰娘游戏，尽管 KanColle 在日本以外仍然拥有相当数量的粉丝，并且似乎占据了这一位置日本占主导地位的女船女系列，《Fate/Grand Order》和《东方》对其发起了挑战，最近《Umamusume》的出现也给它带来了挑战。
