| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ayanami...a prisoner of war. Honestly, her situation isn't bad at all though. On the other hand, I actually feel bad for Enterprise. She just can't get over the recent events and I can't blame her. Pretty light episode after all the drama and battles. |

| Finally Kawakaze was introduced, she is the best ship in my opinion. Also Ark Royal appearing first before Ayanami is a bit funny. In case you didn't notice when ever Ark Royal is around you should keep your destroyers inside since she is dangerous for them. It was a relaxing episode tho. |
| Nice to have a little break on the action, I wasn't expecting to see some golf in this anime lol |
 |
| Pretty calm episode. We see Ayanami as a prisoner of war but she is being treated nicely. |
 |
| This is what the anime should have been, cute ships doing cute things, too late the to save it now because it's obvious that teh next 3 eps will be dealing all the orochi stuff but eh |
| Good episode! Ayanami is prisoner of war, and was nice to see Laffey and Javelin assigned to supporting Ayanami, and everyone is treating her good! Seems Kaga will be doing bad things next episode! Nagato is starting to doubt about Akagi and Kaga's plans, it was nice to see Kawakaze! Was nice to see LAffey, Javelin, Unicorn and Ayanami hanging out together, and the ending scene was heartwarimng, repeating the same words like their first episode meet! |
 |
| Ayanami is being treated warmly, Azur is a kind empire. I liked her interaction with the cute "little beavers", but above all, I like the scene with Enterprise. Enterprise and Ayanami would've made a great combo, but I still love the Enterprise x Belfast. The Sakura empire higher ups are not that concerned with the absence of Ayanami or even Akagi. I guess their priority now is the Orochi project, what a heartless empire. Next episode should be great, as this one was very calm and cute. |

| Ayanami opening up to azure lane and doing cute things like shopping overall great episode |
 |
| Ark Royal... Don't need to say anything |
I enjoy lightskyblue  |
| Finally, got some explanation why Iron Blood didn't joined the war. Glad they didn't forget them Relaxing episode after war ? Nice idea. More ships appeared. But, that also count Ark Royal which is........... FBI, please capture this bastard. |
| Ark Royal is sexy hot but she is a pedophile lolicon lol i need more screen time for Hornet though Enterprise and Ayanami do not want to fight anymore so just fight for self-defense or to protect their love ones against the real enemy the Sirens then |
| Ark Royal being Ark Royal. Surprised she manage to even hold it in for half the episode. |
| I'm surprised Ark didn't just jump on Ayanami in the beginning, good girl. Iron Blood been chilling all this time. |
 |
| Funny how when I first heard this was getting an anime I hoped it wouldn't be a slice of life series, but now that I've seen how bad the "serious" plot is, this was actually one of the better episodes. |
 What's the difference? |
GhidorahxZGojira said: edgyprise lol why you gonna murder the main character like that |
| Ah that was a nice episode. Glowworm is just such an adorable one too. |
 |
| This episode was very chill and relaxing. Definitely one of the betters one so far. =) Ayanami might technically be a prisoner of war, but everyone at Azur Lane made sure that she was fully welcomed and along with Laffey, Javelin and Unicorn, the four girls had a fun time hanging out as friends. Ark Royal was one character that surprised me a bit. She was keeping an eye on Ayanami and looked ever so serious and cool. However, she did show her rather funny lolicon side as she got a nosebleed from seeing Ayanami and friends having fun and when one of the cooks injured her finger, Ark tried to lick it all better, but she got a deserved headbutt that knocked her out instead. XD The scene between Ayanami and Enterprise and how both of them same similar opinions about how they don't like fighting was also pretty nice and important. It also shows that Enterprise has grown a bit as a character as I wouldn't expect her to do something like this at the start of this series. I doubt there'll many slice-of-life scenes like this from now on, since the plot of the story still needs to be dealt with. Either way, I hope the last three episodes can give the slight mess of the main plot a somewhat good ending. =) |
| Nice and relaxing episode. Not gonna lie, I much prefer it to be like this! It's the making of a great friendship for Ayanami! |
 |
| That was shit. Nothing was explained. Stop stretching out all this drama when it could've been solved earlier. Now everything is gonna be rushed |
 |
| Finally a great episode without boring action! The only good kind of action is lesbian kissing action!!,,YEES!! So glad to see that Ayanami was well taken care of!! I want my girls to be nice and all the lesbian shall unite to take care of the bigger threat together!! Now there are a million waifus and even if i consider them ALL to be mine!! I forget their name all the time =P Really liked the lesbian who got nose blood to see my girls playing around and then she tried to suck the other girls finger!!!,,YEEEES!! Good job Honey! whatever your name is!!! Most importantly my main waifu Unicorn was back after 2 whole weeks of absence! Have some fun with her girlfriends then a slumber party and sharing the bed with Javelin!! Aww Sweetheart!! So glad to see you having a good time with your girlfriends!! A fun episode with delicious Yuri,, This stupid ass anime had 6/10 now it have 8/10 ,,Anime I still consider you being a dumb ass!! But at least you can do something right!!  |

Arent you tired of that crap? Suggesting Azur Lane should have been 12 eps of this ep is absurd. 2/12 eps of this is just enough. I much prefer the previous ep to this, not because I disliked this one, but it was original and creative. We dont need billion one-trait waifu fake circus slideshow shows. Why must every show conform to the lowest viewer possible - how about we let artists do their thing and show them some appreciation huh? If you people want more eps like this, here is an idea: browse danbooru for azur_lane. It has the same animation, but more frames and more juices. And you can filter out the waifus you dont care about. Do you even play Azur Lane? Most of teh game is cute ships doing cute ship stuff with a little fighting here and there, why would you not do that in teh anime. Now it's getting bad reviews everywhere because of all the Emo Enty and usless starter stuff. Most of the eps should be Cute girls with maybe 5 mintues of each dealing with the sirens, which is how its handled in the games because they really only appear duing events Mod edit: Changed the quote of edited post. |

| Not a bad episode. The animation was way better than the previous ones. I guess when it comes to slice-of-life stuff, the animators can do a really good job at it. It's a pretty relaxing episode though as we get to see what Azur Lane's HQ looks like. The devs did well at implementing things from the game. |
| I want all the scenes taken Laffey 😉 |
 |
| Great episode as always, was very adorable and also heartwarming in it's own way. Ayanami realizing that Azur Lane is just as kind and full of warmth as the Sakura Empire. So then why do we fight? :( Was nice seeing all the Azur Lane ships getting a little screentime. The scene with Yukikaze, Zuikaku, Yuudachi and Shigure was funny. Kawakaze!!! Nimi!!! Finally some screentime for the best destroyers. Eugen being a tease as always, love her too. Though, the Ironbloods are just chilling out and watching Sakura Empire and Azur Lane go out. Bismarck when? She's even in the OP. Really liked the interaction between Enterprise and Ayanami. The ED is just beautiful, every time I listen to it, I like it more. |
 |
| Best episode of the season, def cried several times during this one. How people don't like this series I'll never get. Waifu wars, tiddies, cute loli's, interesting world and plot, etc. Ayanami is adorable. |
 |
| This was sweet, Ayanami, Laffey, Unicorn and Javelin finally got to be together and have fun. That last scene was heartwarming. |
 |
| Thisi one enjoyable slice of life episode. Ayaya is treated nicely despite that she's a POW. There's no reason to be bad to her either. Nice to see Arc and her lolicon, & stalker personality. We get to see other shipfus as well like Hipper & Bache. And I like how the episode ended with the girls reintroducing themselves properly. |
| Ayanami got saved...both by Laffey and Javelin, and as a prisoner of war. Despite her recovery time in Azur Lane, the four friends (including Unicorn) are back and enjoying their time together like past times. And no one in Azur Lane demeans her presence and treated her fairly, which is nice. Ark Royal, I'd swear she's the usual lolicon fanatic. With the escalating situation between the Sakura Empire and Sirens' Project (Black Mental Cube) Orochi against Azur Lane, more unsettlement between Enterprise's wellbeing and the insane power unleashed the episode prior. Situation's worse on the side of the Sakura Empire as the whole fiasco turned into disarray on trust issues of Akagi. Is it merely a battle between sisters, or is there something else? Ending the episode by reintroduction is the sweetest taste of friendship by the trio to Ayanami, despite their relationship in terms of alliance. A bit of yet another resting episode, with secrets of the Orochi yet to be uncovered. |
 |
| Queen Elizabeth in casual clothes is so kawaii. :3 Prinza Eugen casually groping the waitress... the germans have a naughty ship. >< Azur Lane base is never boring. The town is so lively with shops, and you can play sports. Akashi is money-making cat. Laffey can eat a pancake in one bite. I'm so touched at the last scene. They "repeat" their meeting at the cliff. Ayanami picks up u-chan again. And this time they are able introduce themselves properly as friends. :) |
| Decent episode. The slice of life parts were a bit meh. I hope we see more of yellowed eyed Enterprise but I doubt it since those types of events are normally a one off thing then they over come it the next time. I just hope we get back to focusing on Enterprise. Still looking forward to seeing more Belfast X Enterprise action lol. Its pretty obvious whats going to happen, Sakura Empire will team up with Azur Lane to defeat the big battle ship and Sirens. Hope Enterprise plays a big role. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| It was okay I guess. Glad to see animation quality's back on track, but I would've loved to see more action. I gotta say the battles in this anime are pretty awesome. |

Every episodes where they fought were always glorification of Enterprise and nothing more. On the other hand, it showed promising talent in showcasing other girls and their slice-of-life daily activities, which were among the best episodes. Sure, it'd be the best if they can balance out good action scenes and CGDCT, but so far, all battle scenes we got were far from good. They're focusing their effort and talent in wrong place. And I doubt majority of game-players want Azur Lane to be a full-blown action-packed 12-episode shounen battle. Like J_B said, the game was never like that and battles are just an excuse to see our favorite shipfus in full glory. And the anime is barely doing that. Even previous Enterprise fans in game are getting tired of the anime's constant dick-sucking of her so I can't fathom why you want more of that "crap". /rant We've reached episode 9 and only 3 left but still no sign of other Ironblood's major ships except Eugen. I'm not even a big fan of IB but I'm starting to feel sorry for its fans who're probably waiting for some popular ships' appearance like Bismarck, Tirpitz, Graf Zeppelin etc. |

It also hurts USN fans when they always show Enterprise. |

I'm not even a big fan of IB but I'm starting to feel sorry for its fans who're probably waiting for some popular ships' appearance like Bismarck, Tirpitz, Graf Zeppelin etc. It was clear from the very first episode that this anime was going to be more inspired by the actual history of WWII rather than just the game. As a fan of history I'm actually really enjoying that part. The issue with this approach is that most of the ships don't have a clear place in the story. There are some very popular ships that did very little due to being somewhere else or due to them sinking. HMS Hood had a disastrous combat record that flies in the face of her power in game. The Germany ships did very little in WWII, with the lion-share of the work performed by submarines. There are numerous ships like that, and that makes it hard to tell a good story. The single reason that Enterprise has received so much focus in the anime is that no other ship at any point in history has been so impactful for her nation. Her story is the story of the United States Navy in WWII. She was at almost every important battle and was often the deadliest ship in that battle. It's for similar reasons that Zuikaku gets so much more focus in the games than the other carriers. Zuikaku was the best Japanese carrier, and always bested Enterprise when they fought each other. |
| Finally got to see my nimi even though it was only for couple of seconds. Ark royal being herself lol. I wonder if iron blood ships will get any time at all. |
 |
| oh such a heavenly episode with Ayanami, Javelin & Laffey with Unicorn! 5/5. |
 |
| At last Javelin & Laffey got together with Ayanami~ Unicorn got to join in too :3 LMAO  golden. |
