Kantai Collection ~KanColle~ – Episode 8 – Yamato’s Hotel

February 25, 2015 by Chikorita157 6 Comments
As expected, Yamato prepared a lot of drinks and food ahead of the mission.
As expected, Yamato prepared a lot of drinks and food ahead of the mission.

The 5th squadron successfully carried out their mission despite Shoukaku getting severely damaged in the process. Thankfully, there is a tropical paradise nearby that has a base managed by another ship girl named Yamato.

While not much happens for the fact that Shoukaku got heavily damaged, I admit that it’s nice to see everyone at the back at the newly built forward base made especially for Mission FS. It’s a breath of fresh air since it was getting somewhat lonely without seeing the others around, especially Mutsuki and Yuudachi since the last few episodes focused on the 5th Squadron (except for the 6th episode). Given that the base was built on a tropical island, it came at no surprise that this would also be a beach episode with girls wearing swimsuits. While the girls look cute, I have to admit that Yamato and Nagato look attractive in theirs.

As expected, this episode doubles as a beach episode!

Besides the girls spending their time relaxing, most of the episode was focused on Yamato herself. I admit that she looks pretty despite being shy. Still, It’s kind of sad that she spends most of the time working at the base since she is a very good cook. As seen in the second half, she managed to take down all the Abyssal planes in one shot. Given that she has a lot of firepower, it takes a lot of resources to maintain a ship girl like her. This is true with the actual game since it requires 18000 of all four types combined to receive any ship in her class and the chances of getting her is 2.5%. There is no wonder why Nagato is so protective of her considering that she is too valuable for the fleet to have her sink or get severely damaged. Despite that, her firepower is amazing nonetheless.

Despite the girls being on brake, Fubuki and her friends help tug a raft around so Yamato can see the ocean.

Aside Fubuki getting punished by Nagato by attempting to take Yamato out to sea, I liked how they showed the other side of her when she took a bath. When a chipmunk came, she said it was cute when nobody was looking, except for Mutsu. It’s just too bad that we don’t get to see more of her sweeter side. Also, it seems that Kanga thanked Zuikaku for her hard work. Aside from that, judging from the title of the next episode, it seems that Yuudachi is finally getting a remodel.

    If they show more of Nagato’s cute side, she would had be Best Girl for me without a doubt :p It’s nice to see how Yamato’s design in the anime reflects to the same game mechanics. The anime pretty much uses this as a setting for this whole episode, lol.

      I agree since her character is pretty interesting, but she spends most of the time behind the scenes rather than in action. Still, her reaction to cute things was… cute.

      Yep, it seems that they portrayed Yamato perfectly as it seems that after being out into sea for awhile, she already got hungry. There is no wonder they don’t want to deploy her yet… but of course, the actual game has no concrete story, but I think they are doing a good job adaptating most aspects of the game thus far.

    The world was not ready for moe Nagato. Clearly Kai wasn’t.

    Nagato at full power would be frightening.

      Oops. I meant Yamato at full power, meaning without her constant need for fueling, would be frightening.

        Yep it seems that their names are so close that it’s easy to confuse the two names. Still, I won’t be surprised if she will fight after they finish the mission and replenish their supplies
