Today's pick in the Daily Anime Pick-Series where I pick one anime each day that I think is worth watching is Kantai Collection: KanColle!

---

This anime is one of a kind. The idea behind it is a very creative one: Girls who harbor the spirits of Japanese warships fight against the Abyssal Fleet. The girls are able to sort of water ski on the sea, they have weaponry attached, can receive damage and even sink. But the creativity doesn't stop here. Some girls use bows whose arrows turn into a group of fighter planes.

The story mainly follows Fubuki, one of the battleship girls, but often switches perspective. There aren't any male characters in this series and even though it has action it is generally is very relaxed. Nonetheless it is a unique experience for anyone.

Description

With the seas under constant threat from the hostile "Abyssal Fleet," a specialized naval base is established to counter them. Rather than standard naval weaponry, however, the base is armed with "Kanmusu"—girls who harbor the spirits of Japanese warships—possessing the ability to don weaponized gear that allows them to harness the powerful souls within themselves. Fubuki, a young Destroyer-type Kanmusu, joins the base as a new recruit; unfortunately for her, despite her inexperience and timid nature, she is assigned to the famous Third Torpedo Squadron and quickly thrust into the heat of battle. When she is rescued from near annihilation, the rookie warship resolves to become as strong as the one who saved her.
