The KanColle anime series aired during the winter 2015 broadcast season. The show was helmed by Keizou Kusakawa (Sekirei, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s) at diomedea, with the team of Mayuko Matsumoto and Naomi Ide providing character designs. Jukki Hanada (Love Live! School idol project, Nichijou – My Ordinary Life) was in charge of series composition.

Crunchyroll streamed KanColle as it aired in Japan. They describe it as:

Set in a world where humanity has lost control of the oceans to the “deep sea fleet,” the only hope to counter this threat are the Kanmusu, a group of girls who possess the spirit of Japanese warships. The story revolves around Fubuki, a destroyer who comes to the Chinjufu base to train with other Kanmusu. Watch as their stories unfold!
