Not as cool as Iron Man. And it doesn't seem like a right step to take an artistic allegory and try to turn it into a reality. All these battling girl anime, from Sailor Moon on up have something a little ridiculous to them that strains if not breaks the suspension of disbelief. When it comes to things like Strike Witches and Kantai Collection there is just no basis in any reality that makes it plausible. It's like creating a six part miniseries around the life of the Mona Lisa. There's just nothing there and you're just making stuff up now. I wish the anime production companies would stop seeing yen signs in the possibility of anything they can cobble together regardless of the lack of artistic or dramatic merit.

Why? The yen signs are manifestly present - the anime you hate so much have been making money for them. I don't think you're going to get very far asking the entire anime fan community in Japan to stop liking what you don't like.

Suspension of disbelief doesn't break simply because the story has no basis in reality. It breaks when something illogical (by the story's standards), extremely improbable or defies the pre-established rules happens in said story. For example : Asspull, Deus Ex Machina & Contrived Coincidence.
If you, for whatever reason, simply can't overlook the unrealistic aspects of the story to even give it a chance, then it's not for you. It's that simple.
I'm more interested in their justification for why an admiral would want to field what is apparently a level 1 Fubuki in a boss map especially when he already has Poi and multiple BBs and CVs to name just part of his fleet.
If nothing else, the sequence just makes me realize how much we've come to accept the "equipment can appear without notice" image the fandom fostered. That chain thing is just an accident waiting to happen though.

Clearly, the chains are operated by fairies. Which is why a hook flying at high speeds can perfectly latch onto a ring the size of a half-dollar on Kaga's back without tearing her clothes off in the process. Anything unexplainable? Blame the fairies.
Considering how fast their equipment is flying at them to get attached it's understandable. I can't help but imagine Nagato getting high damaged by the momentum and weight of her main gun.
Needs more clothes magically disappearing/appearing with glowy bits. It could also use more pink hearts flying around and some ribbons.
Seriously, though, that chain thing that pulls up the bridge/smokestack based upon the flipping cards to get to Fubuki (and it happening to slam directly into the proper place on her back when she didn't know it was coming) does seem ridiculous even by magic girl standards. I'd honestly believe nanomachines just teleported it there faster than that.

I think I'm the only one who's reminded of Sakura Taisen from this scene and it didn't take long for the "I don't get it" crowd to rain on everybody's parade.

Sakura Taisen had similarly so-bullshit-it-isn't-even-funny launching sequences. (Like the one in New York City, where their "secret base" is TIMES SQUARE, and involves MOVING THE BUILDINGS so that they can launch the robots with a giant rubber band stretched between some of those buildings... Because NOBODY would notice that sort of shit, right?)

Lots of Shounen-y mech type animes have that same kind of overly complicated launch pad in the middle of the city. Unless you're just saying you don't like that kind of convention in the first place. In fact, I believe that kinda thing is rooted with sentai rangers(power rangers) and Kamen rider and such rather than Anime.
The problem in this... It's too much "Epic" in, for something that looks somewhat... Simple. It could be made simpler, and still look great. I don't know... engate all the parts instead of that chains part. It's just my 2 cents.
The 3D is the "icing of the cake", but I guess 3D in anime is here to stay...

It is called level grinding.
I am guilty of putting an L1 ship into an event Fleet at least once.

But it's even more offensive than most when it's supposed to be a SECRET base built out of elevators moving one of the city's most famous landmarks around. That sort of shit isn't even remotely discreet, you know?!

Yeah once the map or node is on Farm status Summer E5 OR Fall E4 sub node for example. Sending A lv1 1 ship on a map you are actively trying to clear is just Kuso.

Having not seen the full episode yet, this makes me think 'big budget Strike Witches-Navy edition'.
Well, a lot less obvious fanservice at least. Still the first episode so I'm not gonna comment on the realism of the anime (realism in anime, really?) or the use of 3D CGI (I like it actually).

When has it been secret? Docks capable of launching, arming, and repairing warships in real life aren't easy to hide and to the defense, it seems like each pad is capable of launching every ship, meaning the enemy can't easily predict what ships are being launched from where.
Since the facility seemed to be hidden in the sense it'd be harder to determine what rigging each ship girl is going to be leaving with, it makes it harder for the abyssal fleet to counter a specific formation.
This is assuming that the abyssal fleet has much in the way of strategic thinking to begin with, everything so far seems to indicate they just do whatever.
Pretty sure he's talking about Sakura Taisen's "secret base is movable Times Square" there,not Kancolle's base.
And like you said,warships are hard to hide any activity they take,especially when docking.So I think the designer just don't put much efford trying to make them well hidden.
