KanColle Naval Review
The Kantai Collection Naval Review is a Publicly Held Event that takes place at the Summer at the PACIFICO Yokohama Convention Center. The public event was first held back in 2014 following after the huge success Kantai Collection had with creating a huge fanbase across Japan. As a result, Kensuke Tanaka along with several Seiyuus usually come to attend the Naval Review to conduct a public meeting where they announce information regarding Kantai Collection and what is coming up for the entire fanchise for the Second Half of the year.

During that session, they announced the plans for the Kantai Collection Arcade, and brought up some details regarding Kantai Collection Kai, and bringing up details including where the Kancolle Anime would be show cased for an early screening.
Finally, Tanaka mentioned about the Summer 2014 Event and how it was going to be divided up into several stages and introduce the concept of Combined Fleets Fleet Locking mechanics into the game.
The Second Kantai Collection Review continued to follow the same purpose as it did this previous year. This time however, there was a much stronger presence of promoting thier external franchises that were coming up within the future such as the Kantai Collection Arcade which they showed cases some of the kanmusus in thier animations on special screens that was vieweable to all attendents.
In addition, there was an early private screening for the Kantai Collection Movie that was currently in production showing the trailer, which while the attendees would be able to witness, information and images were kept restricted and under a tight lid until the Movie trailer was released in the First Kancolle Style Book which was released during December of that year.
