Kantai Collection (more popularly known as KanColle) finally had season 2 nearly seven years after the first one came out. That is a long time in the anime world, but there are several things worth noting about this new season.
First off, there will only be eight episodes in season 2, as opposed to 12 in season 1.
Second, ENGI is the studio behind these new episodes, rather than Diomedéa. KanColle season 2's first episode aired on November 3, 2022, meaning that some anime fans might be curious to know how they can watch it.
