That lick :o

Damn, this episode was kinda hot lol. A somewhat slower episode but still brings a lot of about the personalities of the cast. I'm rather curious to see how much storytelling we can get out of this but it seems the characters are also having fun in their role as ship fighters.

Enterprise is still such a badass.

Prince Eugen already appearing that was fast.
It was an intense fight but it seems the girls where having a hard time.
Hamman going down fast was funny she is the ultimate tsundere and a good character to laugh at, her behaviour i really funny.

Queen Elizabeth coming to have the day is but a bit predictable.

Well this has much more fanservice than expected lol

The first episode was definitely better, and there was also a huge drop in animation quality in my opinion. Still an enjoyable episode

OMG the Manjuu. I laughed a bit too much when they "towed" Sandy xD... Poor girl.

Camera angle doing a good job again.

So close... I wanted the front view :'(

Freaking crab!...... Laffey's boobs definitely got bigger on that close-up. xD

Eugen is here and it seems that her rigging is not the only sentient thing. Her outfit did some strange things, at one point we had a complete front view of her panties lol. Not that I don't appreciate it, but it was weird.

Tsundere neko maid Hamman <3.... and they sank her. Someone can help her, please? xD

It was nice to see Helena's radar in action. And damn, Helena! Those aren't the kind of panties one would expect you to wear. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Shoukaku and Zuikaku <3. It's so great how good this anime looks.

More voice lines and ofc, THE OWARI DA!

ZuiZui and Enterprise fighting was nice. Forgot how cute and hot the 5th carrier division sisters are lol
Ayanami starting to have second thoughts, and laffey sleeping in the middle of the battle was just lol.
Also, any hammann bulling is welcomed.
Belfast appearing at the end was hype. Best and hottest maid.
Eugen appeared, and of course she loves teasing others.
Also, anime should cease Akagi-Kaga yuri undertones. It’s out of character. Cease. Akagi values Kaga but not to the point that she’s glued to her face and touches her intimately.

this anime has the same problem of series like kancolle and strike witches, lack of focus and ambition, the direction its a complete nonsense collapsing under the weight of having a billion characters but not wanting any one to take the role of a protagonist. Which could work in an ensemble-cast type situation, but ensembles still have individual stories that play out week to week even before moving to the next character(s). We're at two episodes it is not known what drives these girls to fight even though they repeat the same of -"I have to do my best, but I'm slightly hurt so may not be able to do my best, but that's okay because we'll all do our best." so what is supposed to be driving things here? it has the budget to make a decent, how brainless action show... or at the very least to the level of something like Infinite Stratos, but the 'fun' part of the episode is impossible-to-follow nonsense.

Lol, that episode. I honestly didn't expect to find this content :o

Now the cast is more extensive, although I'm worried about that since I've never played the game. Therefore, it is difficult to feel familiar with them.

Wow! That was an AWESOME episode!

-A lot of new characters were introduced
-Finally I could see Hornet fighting
-Entreprise showing that she's not overpowered
-That scene of the katana using planes to increase it's own power was very creative
I can't wait to see Belfast in action

So you didnt watch the episode, they said, they fight because they exist to fight, which is true because they are ships from history that were created to fight. They DONT need another reason because this is an adaption from a game about battles between ships that like I said, EXIST TO FIGHT.
They have fights between the factions and vs the sirens, which are the biggest threat and they most likely will team up at the end to defeat them.
And I disagree with you that this show needs a main character, AL has in total like 350+ ships by now, I am happy enough to see them all in action fighting each other, beside Enterprise is kinda the main character of this since a lot of the show is focused on her.

But I have to agree with people in this thread, it must be incredible hard to follow and confusing if you dont know anything about azur lane. This show seems like it was made for fans of the show and not to get new fans into it.

Nice to see crane sisters getting attention, I want more Shoukaku! On the other hand I'm a bit disappointed it's Belfast from RN that had a special entrance - I really wished for some Warspite badassery. Hamman and Sandy moments were nice, but only players will appreciate those. Same with Manjuus.
I'm surprised with quality of animation. Not gonna lie, I consider this anime (and it seems some people here agree) as a fanservice for AL players. Stuff like this usually is low budget.
And I'm happy with fanservice scenes obviously :) I actually wish for more of those, especially with Prinz already being here.

Great episode, better than ep 01.
Awesome seeing the manjuus, none game fans will really be going WTF.
Poor Sandy and Hamman, I laughed too much.
Not a big prinz fan, but she has some great animation/voice/personality.

Anyway, I got to see the Queen and Warspite, two of my favorites.
Belfast as wonder woman, hahaha wow.

This is definitely a show for the fans. 10/10

So I guess Akagi and Kaga's siscon relationship is explained by the fact that there is no commander in the anime, which is why Akagi went even further insane than she already is and is now directing her pent-up yandere autism onto her sister. Poor Kaga...

I enjoyed the action scenes this episode. I inevitably have to compare this to Kancolle, and so far, I think it's better. Ship girls fighting ship girls is way more interesting than ship girls vs mindless Abyssals, and in general I think Azur Lane has a more compelling and diverse cast of characters than the IJN-only Kancolle series did. Enterprise is also a better MC than Fubuki, and I like how she is portrayed as a serious, battle-hardened girl who has underlying issues beneath her tough exterior (as she is in the game too).

I also liked seeing Prinz Eugen and Belfast animated. Hopefully Bismarck soon...


What's the difference?

It's best to watch this show as a "AL Fanservice" and nothing more. It think the episode was pretty good, good fight scenes.


The main "issue" tho, is that the game has what, 250+ ships? It's not possible to show them all, much less in a show that only 12 eps long.

Agreed, there are waay too many ships, I stopped counting when we reached 300 so you're right, I'm pretty sure we'll only be seeing the popular or meme ships... even then they'll some will probably be reduced to background shots.

Honestly, I just want my girl Deutschland then I can die in peace.

I just don't know... first off, the concept, or rather, the way they implemented said concept of girls transforming into ships is just retarded. If they had just used the girls high School Fleet style, it would've been 100 times better. Apart from that, if you just completely log out of the whole ship fiasko and just watch it as a random battle anime with girls, it is pretty enjoyable.

This is absolutely fantastic, they know exactly what they want to get out of it.

To be honest, I think this show has already succeeded cause it made me start the game. xD

The fan service is glorious, mega points for it! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Too many Shipfu's to name, I don't know everyone yet but I'm sure I will soon.

Battle sequences are surprisingly good, the seen where Zuikaku augments her sword was too damn cool.
Great job so far, can't wait for more. Hopefully I'm more familiar with the source by then as well.

Man this whole ep had me lickin my lips and squeeing and having a blast of a time. The plot is still a mess, but the service is AAA+, so i don't even care. I don't even play the game and this shit has me hype as hell lmao! And my god they're trying to jizz all over my ears too, that sound design. Dis show is just a feast of QUALITY CONTENT... they goin all out.
...now just to wait and see if they actually do go MLG shades Prinz Eugen.

Anyone still thinking Azur Lane is anything like KanColle should just give up lol.

Oh my, those Javelin and Laffey lewds. Also Laffey pulling out drinks like it's nothing.

Prinz Eugen finally makes an appearance and also lewd! Iron Blood ships definitely have my favorite designs.

Nice to see they brought Z23 into the fray. Now we have all the starter girls. Hoping we get to see at least one of them retrofit, though I don't think it'll fit into the story.

Helena also finally appears. Probably my #2 under Enterprise.

So many new appearances and they all put a smile on my face. Showing off Queen by showing her fangs first, lol, along side Hood and the maidships.

Great service this show has been.
