Is this really an "about time"? Doesn't look like this character has been out for that long... not that I would know. I don't follow KanColle.
Seems most people already saw it coming since she came out. Although, guess it various from people to people.
Only thing I see the two being similar is the blue hair and beloved tomboyish girl. But it is touhou and you know how everything always comes back to it without exception.
