Not bad I guess, kinda looking forward to this anime after I watched Blue Steel during Fall.

I'm trying to remember if there's been a single decent anime based off a mobage yet.

I don't think there has.

But the anime can be absolute downright garbage and if they include some cool exclusive cards bundled with the BD release then it'd be a huuuuuuuuge seller. When there's basically a guaranteed hit like this, I don't see them exerting much effort. I could be wrong though.

It doesn't have to be decent.

A Kancolle anime could be a trainwreck and still sell gazillions.

Kancolle isn't a mobage! It's a browser game!!!

...same question applies however Smile

Not exactly a good director, could still be decent. Animation should be good since it's Dio.

But Kancolle doesn't work that way.

Anyway, it looks like they are taking things more seriously now than they did in the initial announcement. Kusakawa especially is the perfect choice for this show.
