Is there even anything newsworthy?
The other thread's "news" is the same copypasted garbage you can find on the wiki much better organised.

Just wondering, is there any commercial statistics for this game? The only number I can find is number of players from devs' tweets and some obsolete data from 2013.

>>13429343
Anime blu-rays bombed like nothing before and sold in record numbers.
Kancolle has been the most popular series in recent Comikets by far.

>>13429361
Oh yes, there's BD numbers. But how about the game itself? Lots of games boast that kind of statistics, but I haven't seen clear data from this.

>>13429371
There are a lot of inactive players and such so the data is not really accurate.
Kancolle is far from its full potential since the server space is limited and new users are restricted to a lottery.

There are at least 100.000 players though.

That's obviously bullshit and you know it, kanshit-kun.

Stop trying to start a flamewar butthurt 2hunigger.

>>13429600
Just a little reminder that it still struggles against a super niche series that's been around for over 10 years.

Maybe now, after it shrank due to fleetgirls taking over.

>>13429684
Can you stop trying to incite a war between Kancolle and Touhou. Touhou has a rich history and is the source of a lot of the music and art that is made. There's not even a reason to compare the two or be mutually exclusive.

>rich history
Don't kid yourself.
Touhou never broke out of Japan and doesn't even have an anime.
Where was touhou in its 3rd year and where is kancolle now? Kancolle is literally dominating Pixiv.

Kancolle fucking blows as a game, the anime was universally panned, and the crap they manage to churn out for comics makes your run-of-the-mill, uninspired trash Touhou doujinshi look like fucking masterpieces.

Another one

>>13429684
Touhou has always been niche, here in japan if you don't browse the internet a lot you'll probably never hear of it.

Meanwhile this thing that's being milked hard, had an anime and is pretty much everywhere is struggling to surpass a niche series in popularity, including at comiket and pixiv which were brought up. For a series that's trying to reach the mainstream this is failure, it's like a movie that has been on theaters making less money than a bunch of home-made videos. Kancolle isn't as popular as you insecure fanboys seem to think, it just happens to have a bigger reach on the internet than your average otaku-pandering franchise.

Shit made it to fucking CNN. Call me when KC reach that level of popularity overseas. Even in fucking 4chan, KC is pretty niche and you won't find it anywhere but /a/ or /jp/. (And /jp/ is mostly this thread only).

Touhou shit get posted on many boards, even by people who don't even know what Touhou is and who never ever touched the game. The games are now getting localized officially as well. Touhou music is present in arcade games and so on.

Meanwhile kancolle is only available to a niche audience willing to use VPN/Third party tools/workarounds in order to "play". And before you even ask, I play both games and I'm into both. You know that something became a phenomena when you see it growth yourself (which cannot really happen if you are 25 or younger). When we were listening to these IOSYS releases back in 2006, no one would never have imagined back then that it would then become available to play in mainstream music games a decade later. Never imagined that the main series of games would eventually be localized.

Having an anime means nothing, it's just about money. Blade & Soul got an anime in Japan, do you even know what's bns is? Is it more popular than Touhou or KC? You cannot bench the popularity of a series with "does it has an anime?". Kancolle is a commercial product first and foremost. So yes it's going to have an anime, a shitty console release, paid advertising etc.

If you put the amount of advertising $ spent for KC vs Touhou and compare it with popularity of both series, KC is really under-performing. What's next you're going to compare vocaloid with touhou overseas?

The reason for this is because we know we're cancerous, so we consciously don't spread it elsewhere as much as you'd expect us to. Even in those places we generally keep to one thread.

Why are 2hu and Kancolle more popular compared to mobage games like PAD? Those two are everywhere in Comiket but mobage gets jackshit.

>>13429746
This is pretty good bait.

Thanks to butthurt 2hufag mods deleting kc on sight because they fear kc.

>BLAH BLAH BLAH commercial stuff is bad communism is great BLAH BLAH BLAH
Your post.
Kancolle had its early days too, it didn't become popular overnight. And why is it so bad for something to be both a fan and a commercial success, anyway?

>>13429962
Mobage is for casuals, kc is for truota.

Who came up with the bullshit that subs can only receive scratch damage in night battle?
E-5 night battle node (I) just taiha'd my sub with a single hit.

>>13430089
It doesn't matter because the boss can't deal damage to your sub to sink it.

>>13430089
Only the baddies receive scratch damage.

>>13430099
I just want to save my repair teams.

>>13430103
I wish my girls were as awesome as abyss.

>>13430103
Uh, not true. If you go night battle while Orel cruising you'll know your own subs receive scratch at night too.

>>13430110
You don't need a repair team

2hu is dead. The games are shit and the only people defending it are the shit eating secondaries that don't even play them.

>>13430190
I have no sacrificial subs.

How does the submarine in E-5 works? If most of the times ends red in preboss how do you do it? Emergency repairs? Or nothing hits them in the boss battle?

>>13430343
Repair team, just for safety.
The boss never lands a single hit, though, so it's unlikely you will ever need it.
