The loose gloves choice makes me wonder if Yoshinori forgot that Scamp is supposed to wear them underwater. That aside, hooray for the first black-haired 'murican ship (at last).
Not too sure about the recent trend of KC shipgirls adopting the AL Kansen aesthetic of racy fanservice design.
Sure she looks great, but it's like acknowledging that KC's design aesthetic doesn't fare well anymore compared to AL's design aesthetic.
What's racy about this? They've had Shimakaze and Iowa for years, this is pretty tame by comparison. KC has also always had damaged art, which for a lot of ships is as or even more revealing than many AL designs.

The context behind it or the lack thereof. Shima has the whole speed thing for the light clothes, even the underwear being a zulu. Iowa is walking around as a reference to WWII pin ups the same way Sara does the Monroe, but Scamp is ???? outside of the big stars on the ribbon and lollipop possibly being 7 battle stars. But the holes are pretty self explanatory just by looking at a Gato.
It's kinda like how Sothis has the whole god from ancient culture to explain her outfit but Bylass is a medieval mercenary running around armourless in just her high heels, stockings, and short shorts.
Trends don't origin from the games themselves, but from the age they were created. Just like all those 90's anime where everyone wears pointy armors, exaggerated broad shoulders with rounded gems atrached to them everywhere.

Pretty sure that her white shorts are a reference to Scamp's patch that featured a topless woman wearing white shorts surfing on a torpedo.

Oh nice catch, that's one off the list.

Random thought, if a Dragon quest didn't look 80s/90s/Toriyama anymore would it even be Dragon quest?

She looks like every other submarine girl that’s in KC. A chick in a bikini, and in Shizuma Yoshinori’s case, in really stupid looking clothing that can’t possibly function in anyway in real life(i.e Amatsukaze and her one single rope band that connects her underpants to her head and pantsless Yukikaze). One sometimes wonder why he made Mushashi a white haired glasses wearing bronze goddess bombshell and Yamato the complete opposite with fake shell boob pads. He’s just kinda bombastic like that. I’m sure he has some reason for it and if you dive and search deep enough there’s probably some historical bullshit reason or whatever but since he’s not Shibafu, who the fuck really knows since for his girls its more important they wow and draw people’s attention than anything.
If you’re talking about the way she’s acting with the lollipop, its funny cause the character of the girl themselves in KC tends to be the opposite of the artwork. I do however wonder does Scampy here get a power-boost when she chomps down on it like in Bayonetta.

Reporter Jones Jonze: How does it feel to be the first black haired american shipgirl in Kancolle at last? Scamp: At last? You mean the first 17th american shipgirl. The recognizion for being the first in something shoudlnt go to me it should go to Iowa the first american shipgirl, congratulation you accepted someone other than yourself.
People saying that she looks like an AL character have a point, the real elephant in the room comes from the sexually suggestive expression and the lolipop, this is the first shipgirl in having something like that, Another aspect probably are those accents of turquoise mixed with white and black on her uniform, and the comically loosed gloves.
That being said, people often forget that characters like Shimakaze exist who could be considered a fetishist character but she was more of an exception and she came from a time when KC was defining its style explaining why the first shipgirls specially DDs were kinda inconsistent in design when you look a ship-class, but that happened a long time ago and is more hard for some people to spot that.
We dont get characters with lewd mannerism that often.
By far people who are comparing her with AL arent explicitly saying they hate her at all. And any comparison is fun to do by its basic nature. I guess one either can only hate or love something new when it comes to hype-mentality in gaming culture.
I like this one. Her outfit's definitely more memorable than just another school swimsuit. Her voice lines show her as a cool, aloof type. And they even included at least some reference to her sinking I-168, which I really was not expecting.

In terms of lolipops, Hachijou has one in her base art too. And Asashimo in her yukata seasonal.
In my defense, Hachijou inst doing anything sexually suggestive with it and grecale's one along with asashimo's are not their default cg. But yeah Scamp isnt the first ship carrying a lolipop.

Scamp isn't doing anything sexually suggestive with it either.

The general consensus is that she is doing it because of the way she has her tongue out meanwhile holding that lolipop directly at her mouth while blushing and having those bratty eyes.

She isn't blushing, and if a lollipop and an open mouth is all it takes to be sexually suggestive then I don't know what to tell you. She's not even licking it. Freud would be proud.

Isnt like Im saying Scamp is holding her lolipop as a symbol of her desire for men or something like that. Im just pointing out what i see.
Pay attention to those eyes and the way they are closing and the tonge out, the position of her head, the blushing for me is that red blended spot on her left cheek, is right there, thats why I say is sexually suggestive, is a pattern that repits several times in other fanarts.
I take back about the general consensus, despite what fanarts can show about her, i think is too early for me to say there is already a consensus, but there is a pattern.

One might say she gives off the impression of a mischievous little scamp.

Better question: is she addicted to lollipops like a certain automatic shotgun T-doll?

"KanColle: *releases new character* KanColle fans: Azur Lane bad character design!"
Seriously, what's with bringing up Azur Lane in every new picture about a new unit?
Right, so when you made your comment there were only two comments that mentions Azur lane, the first being from someone who apparently plays it, the second only mentioning Azur Lane because it was a reply to the first comment mentioning it, but is likely from someone who also plays Azur due to their active participation in discussing Kansen design. Hell, the second one was literally even saying KC was the more erotic of the 2.
.musouka said: You're literally just trying to fan fires.
And yet, it doesn't invalidate what I said. Somehow people brought up AL's design in a new KC unit's announcement. Mostly because of the sexyness of the designs.
Personally, I, as an AL player, tire of seeing the sexyness being criticized at any "artificial" opportunity. Specially because KC has it's own charm and it's own style of sexyness.
Of course, the comparisons still make a whole lot of sense, since the main theme is the same and they are both great names in the industry. So, all in all, you are right, I was just fanning flames, perhaps, but it didn't generate any kind of discussion.
Do anyone that got her has some thoughts about her as a whole? People mentioning that she acts totally different from what one can see in her CG is making me curious.

Idk i still doing E3 and i want to hear her voice first hand in the main game once i get her. But I wouldnt be surprise if she does mentions her lolipop in one of her hourly lines if she has them.

Think of it like this: Yoshinori probably found what 'scamp' means and designed her with that in mind, but Tanaker decided to give her different character (aloof, reliable aneki-type) through her voice lines.

Scamp does offer the Admiral a candy in one of her lines and only in that line.
