    One of the best Kancolle MMD's I've seen. I had to make sure the message reached English speakers, so I made this video. It's really interesting once you see the backstory of the events Kantai Collection is based on.

      That's the point of the line. She had been wrecked by the 'flash' when she was a ship. But in her kanmusu form, (when you're a shitty admiral and sink her,) she's happy she sunk this way instead of in the crossroads.

  • @madensmith7014
    @madensmith7014 8 років тому +46

    Some people might think of this as cringe worthy because of the ships being anime girls and think that's why people are sympathizing over it(I know some do) but can we not forget that ships and most vehicles are referred as females. The Jap's(Tanaka) just brought that persona to life and shared it to others. And you must admit that this makes sending the message of the sadness of loss during wars easier. If other sides would do some creative way to do the same(not needed to be anime) rather than some hate speeches and wall of texts, more people could relate.

    • @madensmith7014
      @madensmith7014 7 років тому +5

      Well, the game itself does not give the message. It's the fans and people that were able to sympathize with the story behind it that brought life to the thought.
      Also, Kancolle only uses WW2 ships as reference but does not really take place in WW2. It is more of war against aliens which is not really a social issue.

    • @lukastobing9074
      @lukastobing9074 7 років тому +1

      Jyukai Kirayura well, I think so too (as a non player) about those enemies in KC as an alien species and the girls were genetically engineered. Not unlike Pacific Rim (instead of Jaeger vs Kaiju we have Kanmusu vs Abyssal) or Battleship.

    • @SoldierOfFate
      @SoldierOfFate 7 років тому +4

      The thing is, KC does deliver an anti-war message if you look at it on a more in-depth scale. It's the Admiral's job to defeat the unknown threat, but he/she must also ensure all the kanmusus come home safely. It's a far cry from the IJN's tactics - downright suicidal ones where they fight to the last man and bullet.
      My homeland was a target of brutal subjugation by Japan during WW2, but what's history is history. No country on the face of this planet has its hands clean from bloodshed and warfare.

      Of course I don't blame you, seeing a ship sink is very difficult to feel sad about since you don't actually see the victims of war face to face. But when you personify them, you feel it since you actually see it.

I dident explain what i meant to well like in history class in high school we learned about the Pacific war and battles like most US ships we learned about there was always a little story of someone who served on the ship and how many survived or were lost when that ship sank. but unfortunately when it came to Japanese ships being sank i dont remember a single stat of how many survived or were lost when sank. for any ship. It was like in school they almost only teach you to feel for US forces in the pacific. This just kinda made me think of that back in school how one sided it was.

    I know there's a lot of sentiment about this is what you get for fighting the US, but keep in mind that the Imperial Japanese navy dealt the heaviest blow ever to the USN. Japan drove the USN to having only 2 CV at one point, while having crippled a good half of the capital ships. That's not something to make light of.

      Franklin Liao At one point there was only one operable carrier in the Pacific Theatre (Saratoga, as Enterprise was heavily damaged), they had to borrow one from the British (Victorious, codenamed USS Robin during the loan). The IJN had a pretty good exchange ratio in the Guadalcanal ship-grinder, but ultimately failed to make any strategic dent on or with it.

      +Mattoropael A combination of the over-convoluted operational plans, inflexibility to move away from decisive battle doctrine and Japan's blatant disregard for submarine warfare comes to mind for how they've squandered whatever initiative they initially had in those six months of 1942. Having said that, Guadalcanal played well to the Japanese torpedo squadrons' strength, and the USN paid dearly in those surface actions.

    2:34 isn't quite right, that was the Battle of Cape Esperance and the Aoba wasnt mistaken for an enemy ship, the USN cruiser task force had opened fire and Goto thinking it was his own ships started flashing the signal "I am Aoba". It's interesting how this parallels the first Battle of Savo where Captain Riefkohl of the USS Vincennes thought Mikawas attacking cruisers were friendly ships firing on him and blinkered to them as well as hoisted flags to identify himself as the Vincennes.

    I really am proud of Kancolle for raising awareness of the WWII era, especially during their darkest moments. There's just so much feeling and sadly, painful truth in this video as we see each of the shipgirl's fates, and it really shows much of what Japan had lost, but at the same time, accomplished. I was raised to believe that Japan was our enemy, but I felt that any country, regardless of being an ally or enemy deserves to be honored and recognized for fighting valiantly for their country. What difference is there with Japan being our enemy? It was most definitely the same with us being their enemy, so why does it matter that there needs to be a difference between countries? Also the fact that the IJN rescued over 400 survivors of enemy ships, it doesn't really add up that Japan would be a horrible enemy. Kudos to the person who brings and enlightens anime fans with the courageous history of the IJN through Kancolle.

      +Legit Catalog yes i do. And i also know that there was nothing wrong with HMS Hood. She was simply used for the wrong job. The IDIOTS in the admiralty thought a BATTLECRUISER could work in the job of a BATTLESHIP. A battlecruiser is built to chase down cruisers and deal with smaller faster ships. The battleships were designed to fight in the line of battle with other battleships. End of. HMS Hood was just in the wrong place in the wrong time. And one more thing about your US ship beats RN ship thing? Take a look at the history. Who had the biggest and most powerful fleet in the world until the end of ww2? Oh and i think HMS Warspite could take on the USS new york, the USS Texas or the USS Colorado

    This makes me so sad, especially what happened at Midway. Hiryuu's retaliatory strike against the Yorktown is almost symbolic and shows the defiance of the two prestigious IJN carrier groups and their pilots.
    That being said, reading more and more into the American point of view (which is doubly as fascinating and heartbreaking, especially Samar.) you really understand the pure bravery and determination that the U.S. put into defeating Japan. If both sides had the same internal infighting that the Japanese had, the IJN would come out on top by pure numerical advantage (most of the US navy for the first half of the war were in the Atlantic). The USN put aside their disdain for the Army (especially towards Macarthur, worst general ever) and worked hard to pull out a victory. Just keep in mind that the USN didn't get the beat down, but they didn't for a reason.

    • @DylanJo123

    • @jaketrollston4866
      @jaketrollston4866 7 років тому +2

      Yeah, We could pump out cruisers, battleships, carriers, and destroyers with practically zero issue in terms of getting the supplies to manufacture them. What Japan had, while numerous, was virtually irreplaceable. Hence why you see a ton of hastily converted carriers in '45, all making up for the loss at Midway.

    • @HoppouChan
      @HoppouChan 7 років тому +5

      To get some sense of numbers:
      I count 5 standard fleet carriers they finished after Pearl Harbour (Unryuu, Katsuragi, Amagi, Shinano & Taihou), 5 light aircraft carriers (Hiyou, Junyou, Ryuuhou, Chitose & Chiyoda) and 8 escort aircraft carriers (Chuuyou, Kaiyo, Shin'you & Akitsu-Maru-class) vs the US 17 Essex&Ticonderoga-class, 9 Independence-class, and "oh my god why are there so many" escort aircraft carriers (50ish Bogues and a shitton of Casablanca-classes).
      ...or I just throw the 175 Fletchers in there, all built during the war.
      Another issue was their tendency to throw all available resources into large battles (decisive battle doctrine) - this is why we have these major fuckups like the Battle of Tsushima

    Of course the problem about being "rescued" from the ocean by a Japanese ship during WWII was that now you're a POW of the Japanese. You'd probably end up dying whether you were picked up or left stranded.

    • @jingyuanliu1454
      @jingyuanliu1454 9 років тому +6

      As I recalled 2/3 of the sailors rescued my ikazuchi and inazuma survived the war. Also, this is probably the only case during WWII when IJN actively seeks to rescue enemy combatants, since the official modus operandi for IJN is to kill every enemy soldier they come across. In fact Commander Shunsaku Kudō (the one who made the decision to rescue American and British sailors) had to keep his lips shut less his people suffer from his decision.

    • @CleveAneki
      @CleveAneki 9 років тому +2

      Jingyuan Liu A 1 out of 3 death rate is even worse than the average rate among all POWs of the Japanese. At a 33-34% death rate for the "rescued" sailors vs a 27% average rate for all Allied POWs of the Japanese. This is only rivaled by Russian POW camp death rates and surpassed by the truly sickening rates for German POW camps on the Eastern Front, where 55-60% of Russian captured by the Germans died, and 26% of Germans captured by Russians died. The rate for death rates in Russian POW camps peaked at 60% in early 1943.

    • @jingyuanliu1454
      @jingyuanliu1454 9 років тому +3

      It is true that the death rate of rescued sailors is higher than the average death rate of all POWs. However, most of the POWs captured by the IJN never made it to the internment camp, and After March 20, 1943, the Japanese Navy was under orders to execute all prisoners taken at sea.

      Yep, every kanmusu (whether one of the Japanese ships, or the other Axis and Allies ships that show up) in the game is based on a real vessel from WWII, and many of their quotes from the game drop little tidbits about their history during the war or otherwise reference their eventual fates.
