Synopsis

When the "Sirens," an alien force with an arsenal far surpassing the limits of current technology, suddenly appeared, a divided humanity stood in complete solidarity for the first time. Four countries—Eagle Union, Royal Navy, Sakura Empire, and Iron Blood—formed Azur Lane, paving the way for the improvement of modern warfare, which led to an initial victory against the common threat. However, this tenuous union was threatened by opposing ideals, dividing the alliance into two. Sakura Empire and Iron Blood broke away and formed the Red Axis, and humanity became fragmented once again.

As a seasoned and experienced fighter, the "Grey Ghost" Enterprise shoulders Azur Lane's hope for ending the war. But behind her stoic persona hides a frail girl, afraid of the ocean. Even so, she continues to fight as she believes that it's the only purpose for her existence. Meanwhile, Javelin, Laffey, and Unicorn—three ships from the union—stumble upon Ayanami, a spy from the Red Axis. Strange as it may seem, they try to befriend her, but as enemies, their efforts are for naught. Still, they persevere in hopes of succeeding one day.

Amidst the neverending conflict within humankind, the keys that could unite a fragmented race might exist: a soldier coming to terms with her mysterious personality and camaraderie between those with different ideals.

I have never played the game and started watching the anime without prior knowledge of AL's universe. So I am rating it solely as an anime.

Overall, I would say I enjoyed the animation with a lot of beautiful scenes and the sound/OST are also great.
Due to a lot of characters, there are also a lot of seiyuu, and I really enjoyed watching the anime in its original language with subs.

The plot is not bad at all, despite what I have read in the reviews from others who are well-known with AL's universe. I may not realize how deep the overall plot and idea ...

Mixed Feelings
Ah the sea! Where girls come to swim, play, and erm ... fire 16 inch 50 caliber naval armaments at one another? Was that in the script? Azur Lane I've heard is based off of a game (which I should probably try out) and seems to be a slice of life but with two extra pats of action seasoning. Girls in battle? Really cool, the torpedo salvo ripping through the waters, the papers burn into fighter biplanes, Zuikaku's sword charging via PUMPING SAID PLANES into her sword hilt was sick! Girls at home? (base) adorable as fuck. There's quite a bit of fanservice but not ...

Alright, let's just keep it a $1.50 here. I love the game, I don't love the anime.

It's an anime adaptation of a popular mobile game. While the mobile game itself has been done splendidly, the anime adaptation was done in a less than splendid way (and that's an understatement to say the least). As an anime, it's alright. We get some characters to look at to form fanservice theories about, to find a "best girl" and to wonder who will experience the most development over the course of the show. Sadly, with Azur Lane being a mobile game, this anime was nowhere near to showing ...
