Kantai Collection (Japanese: 艦隊これくしょん Hepburn: Kantai Korekushon?, translated as "Fleet Collection", subtitled as "Fleet Girls Collection"), known as KanColle (艦これ KanKore?) for short, is a 2015 Japanese television anime series created by Diomedéa, based on the game of the same name by Kadokawa Games. The series was announced in September 2013, and aired 12 episodes on Tokyo MX and KBS, and later on other TV stations, between January 8 and March 26, 2015. An animated film, titled KanColle: The Movie (劇場版 艦これ Gekijō-ban KanKore?), was released on November 26, 2016.
The series features Fubuki as the main character, with the storyline based on her point of view. In a world where humanity faces the threat of the abyssal fleet which has taken over the seas, special human girls who don weaponized outfits and possess the spirit of historical naval vessels known as kanmusu (艦娘?, literally "fleet girls" or "ship girls") are the only ones capable of countering them. The kanmusu live together at a naval base, where they spend their everyday lives as they train for battle.
