Are nanomaterials something humans can make, or is it a Fog thing? They had a store of it on the island, but they never told us about its source. It could have all been leftovers from Hyuuga's ship.

edit: by "make room" I mean in the romantic department.

Haremu...

I also thought it was just Hyuuga's remains. Perhaps they had boosted their stocks with the remains of other ships they had sunk as well, although they haven't seemed overly eager to salvage anything after the fights we have seen. That's almost a plot hole, unless using nanomaterials requires a permission from the original owner and thus robbing it would be impossible. Unless Admirality is involved, like Iona's case, and also Kongou's, I suppose, just proved.

Just watched all 12 episodes of the series, and honestly in the end didn't manage to care much for it.

The anime plot left the manga behind quite early, during the Makie incident. The manga is a bit more complicated and not nearly as smooth sailing as the anime. But the mood isn't so different, naturally, that you'd ever like the manga if you didn't care for the anime.

One external thing making me like Arpeggio more is that Kantai Collection is so stupid in comparison, despite both being centered around warship anthropomorphism.

Well, it's not like I wouldn't have liked the anime more if there was more to it. I quite enjoyed the early portions, but after half the series it really seemed like they weren't going to accomplish anything particularly on 12 episodes. So it just ended up being a waste of time.

I might give the manga a try at some point.

Apparently 2 movies of this series are coming out in 2015.

The first one, already aired by the looks of it, will be a compilation movie, while the 2nd one (looks like it comes out in October) will be new material.

I was thinking of this series with a bit more fondness that I thought while watching it. I really had enjoyed the early portions, but the shortness of the series contributed to all being a waste of time.

Hopefully this new movie remedies this notion of mine a bit.
