Action scenes on a Slice of Life anime? non-sense. Be glad there were at least some, this is not Dragon Ball. Though I'd like an anime of KanColle with such length.
When someone makes an anime adaptation of an strategy game, I usually expect some action scenes.
IMO, the action scenes in the KanColle anime weren't exactly rich or fullfilling since Kadokawa chose to compromise between action and SoL scenes in twelve episodes, but overall I thought the anime was pretty average: not bad, but nothing exceptional about it.
I also think it was an average low budget anime. But considering the life span this franchise was born, the uncertainty about how popular it will last and the quick development of something Touhou fans have been waiting for eons, it could have been worse. The anime was all about meeting the ship girls and include game mechanics (a slice of life... dead included briefly) hanged on a vague plot with some battles to at least please as much fandom as possible in a season. They had no knowledge if there would ever be a 2nd one.
I'm not praising the anime, I like it because it's acceptable and that's it. I honestly expected something worse because it's too young. This is not a manga printed weekly 5 years before the anime production and even so we should know by now you can't fit everything in a manga/game into only one anime season. That goes to the smart ass saying "the manga was better", no sh*t Sherlock.

Basically this, season 1 was a prologue introducing the world and characters, season 2 will most likely be the one that deals with what the Abyssals really are and such.
