I hoped people would get my point without having to make WoT but it seems that i wasn't clear with my previous statement and question or i simply offended someone's sensibility by criticizing something that someone elses like. If i did and will offend someone with my posts i apologize and ask for forgiveness for any english mistakes there may be in this post as this is not my native language.
No one is really offended but, People "who goes to see "anything" blindly only fueled by a Hype they don't even understand" Is one of the worst pet peeves in forums discussions for me. Bonus points if they're disappointed, Super Bonus Points if they post derogatory (this is shit/bad) stuff when unsurprisingly they didn't like the genre in the first place.

her story will be some kind of heartwarming travel from zero to hero as Fubuki slowly becomes a great battleship like her senpai.
Just to clear things up, KanColle doesn't work that way. Ships don't evolve to become different ships. Gameplay wise they can only get stronger stat wise, unlock more slots to equip more weapons/equipment and get Rare Weapons/Equipments from their default Upgrade.
Fubuki's Info Page. So the only thing you can expect is Fubuki getting more confident and less messing around.

Now after this analysis i ask again:
Is there a reason for people who are not already big fans of those moe character (or moe in general) to watch the show?
I am confused because i knew that a lot of the hype in japan came from the moe of it all yet still i was expecting maybe a bit more given the staggering amount of doujinshis there are already on the market (i read somewhere that Kancolle is already third in the all-time stats of doujinshis made on a certain game/show).
I saw a lot of doujinshi come out in a small lapse of time in the years about specific manga/shows/games but there wasn't only moe underneath it all, there was some also story and plot too.
Is moe all that Kancolle is?
1. Honestly No, If you didn't like Strike Witches, Upotte, Sky Girls, Girls und Panzers and the whole Girl/Military genre, there's no reason to watch this. Expecting for a good plot is impossible because even the players don't know where this is heading since there are no reference other than Drama CDs.
2. The story and plot in the doujins are mostly fan-made with only them referencing materials in the game like the Marriage system, the lore of how there are Abyssals, the girls personality quirks cause by WW 2 stuff and the history behind each and as some are depicted to have high feelings for their previous Captains/Crew that they served in the past.
3. On the surface yes, but that's not the only reason for it's popularity because there are MANY more Moe card collecting out there (Castle Collection, Car collection or whatever it's name is), but what makes KanColle stand out from the rest of the crowd is its Personality as a game.
