Fleet Girls Collection
Fleet Girls Collection as a web broswer game was published in early 2013. Although also taking historical resources from World War II naval warfare, this game is quite different from others through impersonating all the Japanese WWII warships with lovely ACG girls. based on a card game model, publisher DMM.com at first estimated that there would be at most 100,000 players registering for the game, but the real number greatly exceeded this expectation. Analysts point out that the life cycle of a web browser is merely 3 to 12 months , but Fleet Girls Collection became more and more popular from 2013 to 2015, the number of whose players surged to more than 3.8 million at present. From January 2015, Fleet Girls Collection was adapted to a 12-episode TV animation series and the release of its film edition is scheduled in 2016. What's more, namesake comic series and other multimedia products are also issued and sell quite well.
The story of Fleet Girls Collection begins with some secret maritime accidents caused by a monstrous enemy group called Abyssal Fleet, and then players commanding Fleet Girls will go for a series of naval campaigns to eliminate these enemies and save the world. These warships generally come from Imperial Japanese Navy in World War II, from which we can see famous Battleship Yamato and Kongo. What's more, recently celebtrated United States Ship Iowa is also added to the game.
