This isn't Kirikumas, FYI.
This appears to be mainly CGI music videos (possibly made in MMD? given how I'm seeing some things clipping/trembling, and how that behavior resembles what I've seen of MMD videos). The songs, specifically, are mainly from the "Blue Field" Character Songs CD (which actually doesn't contain the song "Blue Field"). But there's also some other stuff.
episode list:
1. "Blue Field" (Arpeggio of Blue Steel ED1)
2. "Dawning Light" (track 6 on BFCS)
3. "Expose" (track 3 on BFCS)
4. "Inapplicability" (track 2 on BFCS)
5. "Innocent Blue" (Arpeggio of Blue Steel ED2)
6. "メンタル" ("Mental") (track 1 on BFCS)
7. "Miracle" (track 4 on BFCS)
8. Fleet of Fog Secret File: Part 1
9. Fleet of Fog Secret File: Part 2
10. Fleet of Fog Secret File: Part 3
11. "トレモロ" ("Tremolo") (track 5 on BFCS)
I don't know why this ordering exists.
AniDB uses a different ordering, in its listing of specials:

That happened quite frequently during that time. I remember Machine-doll wa Kizutsukanai doing it. It's become much less popular now, Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san was the last show to do it.
* high endurance for prolonged physical activity (I think this was mentioned in episode 1)
* diurnal activity
* manual dexterity (mentioned in this episode) and use of hands (compare Serval's drinking water to Kaban's)
* lack of distinguishing physical features/abilities like large ears, tail, ability to climb, etc.
* ingenuity/intelligence (at the end of both episodes)
I mean, considering it was supposed to come out this year, I assumed something was up when there was no more information after ANEMONE...
a.k.a. when you start trying to apply critical theory to the inner workings of animu
I mean, I can understand the meaning of what you wrote but it just seems so disconnected from the rest of everything.
I have to wonder how this applies to other card games anime.
* Arpeggio of Blue Steel - I love the music and the storytelling.
* Kantai Collection - well i guess some of the fanart is cute.
* Azur Lane - for some reason they look weird. also their boobs are too big.
* everything else - basically no opinion
The AL version is usually bigger all around if the KC one was by Shimada Fumikane, though. See: Taihou.
How much does Arpeggio lean on World War 2, anyway? Like, Kancolle still does events that point to the Pacific war, and Azur Lane does this with its "main" campaign.
I know that in the manga, things are kind of different (like I-402 and I-403 have a much bigger part) but I doubt it's more accurate.
The Fog is not well versed in world history.So apparently this is a parody of mobage? At least, according to the first review on MAL.
Ensemble Stars! has greatly improved my opinion of non-parody mobage adaptations.
I think the point of that list was "cute anime girls x military vehicles". Or more generally, "cute anime girls x military equipment".
Strike Witches is surely closer in aesthetic and concept (and not just because the creator of that worked on Kancolle), though the cast are based on WW2 pilots rather than their vehicles.
And there's things like Touken Ranbu and Girls' Frontline which definitely exist because of Kancolle despite being a bit further off in subject matter.
(Also CDJapan seems to be nice enough to let my order still count as being over a certain value threshold for applying a coupon even when I use bonus points (i.e. store credit earned from a previous purchase) that would mean I end up paying for less than that threshold amount (not counting the coupon). Tokyo Otaku Mode doesn't let me do this.)
I did think I hit the jackpot with piano transcription scores but it's more so just a big list of things I didn't yet search.
I actually acquired some of these piano scores, and they have the problems I presumed they might have:
1. These piano scores are often written more with the intent of being accessible to people with intermediate-level piano skill rather than being particularly accurate/exciting/well-arranged renditions of their originals. This isn't a huge surprise, since the publishers do still have to sell these things, and virtuoso-level stuff will have a smaller appeal than intermediate*-level stuff (which virtuosos can then rearrange to their liking anyway). But the result is that the arrangement sounds a bit dull sometimes -- even compared to some of the stuff one might find on YouTube these days. (And I'm still kicking myself for not getting ahead of the curve on arranging stuff and putting it on YouTube...I could have been famous by now...) For example, instead of having the left hand do the full rhythmic figuration of a song's accompaniment, it just plays quarter notes on the beat and that's it.
2. There are occasional mistakes. For example, in the Angel Beats Piano Solo Album book, there's a transcription of Brave Song (the ED). The several fast notes at around 3:38 in the song (at the end of the bridge before the final verse), which are actually sung as F Eb G A Eb, are instead written as F Eb F G Eb. And this is despite the Angel Beast! -1st beat- Piano Arrange Album "Holy", which plays another piano arrangement of the song, clearly playing F Eb F A Eb (at around 4:26). (The A is particularly distinctive, because the song is in Eb major, wherein Ab would be diatonic to the key.)
That said, they're not completely useless. They can give useful insight, particularly to stuff that involves complex rhythms. Even though those transcriptions might not necessarily be what I'm looking for.
Anyhow I looked through sample pages of the Anison Muse books and decided that what they did was characterized by both those issues. I do like some of the songs a lot though, but given that they're sorta gimped versions of what I'd actually like, they've ended up as a low-priority purchase.
There are also Symphogear books and I haven't seen what they're like at all. But I wouldn't be surprised if they were similar.
* I'm not actually sure whether this counts as "Intermediate" or "Advanced" according to the terms that are commonly used here in the US. They might actually be Advanced. So that's why I'm using the term "virtuoso-level" for stuff that's, like, the level of Beethoven sonatas or higher.
You never cease to amaze me.
It's sword boys, just to be clear. Very popular sword boys.
I mean, next you'll be wondering what Hypnosis Mic is.
If only that ever happened to me.
Also, it's gotten more than one anime adaptation.
There's also Tenka Hyakken, the sword girls game by the other company responsible for Kancolle (Kadokawa). And yet again involving the Strike Witches guy.
