Kantai Collection (Kancolle / Kancore) is a Japanese browser game where players play as an unnamed admiral in an alternate WW2-era world and with the Japanese fleet ships are depicted as sentient, anime girls.
Despite the challenges of registering an account to the game where prospective players need to use VPN to get a Japanese IP (the game is supposedly catered towards Japanese players) and win a spot via lottery, the game has steadily garnered a growing fanbase - including English-speaking players outside Japan. The game is immortalized through very good cosplays, artbooks, manga and even a Vita game due to be released soon.
When the anime for this popular game is announced, players were hyped. Sadly, production has been delayed until January next year but fans are still hyped.
The video features CGI graphics, similar to the one used in another ships-depicted-as-cute-girls anime Arpeggio of Blue Steel. The PV has spawned a meme as well, thanks to the creativity and humor of the fans.

How do you do gaming on a budget? Here's some quick tips to stretch your dollar when it comes to gaming.
You have 50 years of gaming to draw from if you're on a budget you can play 30 of those at no cost on the same device you're reading this on
Leave aside the issue of brand new games, if you can afford an Xbox or PlayStation you can get the accompanying subscription service. SO MANY GAMES! Before PS Plus with games included launched if you wanted a 'new' game you had to buy it, either new or by going the second hand shop (in the UK this was GAME or CEX). It was a one-at-a-time experience and it cost money. Now people are spoilt for choice. There's not enough lifetimes for you to play even the best games included with these subscription services!
wait for sales
buy things 2nd hand.
its rly not that complicated.
pc has piracy and emulation of retro games.
then theres jailbreaking etc etc.
the more accurate question should be "how do u do it legally".
Tbh you don't even need a PC to emulate I can comfortably emulate up to PS1 and N64 just on my TVs native OS I actually played mother 3 like this recently with a SNES NSO pad
Never buy a game at full retail price, and don't be afraid to check out free-to-play games.
If you want to be the biggest budget gamer and have a decent phone for example a Samsung Galaxy s21 or higher class phone, you can do emulation. Samsung Galaxy s23 or higher can even do switch emulation, and some PC emulation.
If you have a modern laptop, you can just about emulate everything.
If you are not comfortable with emulation, then buy a PS5 and play older titles when they go on sale.
Steam's summer sales, GOG has frequent massive sales, too. Epic gives a free game all the time. Damn, I was going to mention Redbox for modern console titles, but they went out of business like a year ago. But seriously, there are a ton of options for gaming on a budget. The golden rule is: never buy a game at full price. You really, really don't have anymore if you are just a little patient.
