Decent adaptation from a mobile game, the animation sure had some beautiful moments but also some inconsistencies. Fairly simple plot, which kind of made some episodes boring, but I guess this is more of a fanservice anime where you can see your favourite warship girl in action

I quite liked the designs of the warship girls in their battlemode

Bismark got like 2 seconds WTF? The anime was mess. It could have been saved by glorious iron blood waifus but hell, they showed like 6 iron blood ships and only 3 main ones and that too for couple of seconds. Fuck this injustice.

Not great, really really rushed and half-baked.
it was still fun for fans but i don't think it's going to win over anyone else, which is sad.

I enjoyed it overall, most of the characters were represented well in terms of personality - except extra edgy Enterprise, and the lack of basis for the friendship power being so strong between Laffey/Javelin & Ayanami. Without the conflict, it could have worked on the simple premise of meeting once and wanting to be friends, but no so much under the circumstances. The conflict though is probably one thing the anime as a whole could have done without. If they'd fully committed to just being a showcase for the game and gone with a slice of life approach I think it would have been more appealing, even to non players

Still, it entertained me and that's all I require from an anime. Could have been better if done differently, but personally didn't seem like a waste of my limited downtime (which is even more severely limited than usual at the moment >.<)

I can't believe I actually had to force myself to fnish this anime. Enterprise really killed it for me, and her getting even more plot armor (and plot gun lol) in that last episode made me want to stop it midway.

On the bright side, Nimi finally joined started pack. Just why the hell they made Unicorn hang with them all the time?

My opinion probably is biased, but the strongest side of this anime is just seeing all my girls hang out and play out their characters or just say their in-game lines (Nagato line made me smile). Story was bad but if it didn't get ruined by Enty and, to lesser extent, friendship power, it'd be tolerable. Tbh they should've just adapted one of the event stories and it would turn out much better.

It's pretty sad that, despite being really good and F2P friendly game, Azur Lane always has such poor promotion - from clickbait ads to meh adaptation.

The final battle continues and things get more intense.
The action of this last episode looked pretty decent, of the salvageable moments was how Enterprise destroys the missile, the headbutt that Zuikaku gave to Kaga to make her react and finally my favorite was when Queen Elizabeth and Nagato arrived with more reinforcements, two fleets with small, adorable and charismatic leaders. Another moment that made me laugh a little was when poor Edinburgh was hit with the head of that irritating Siren.

The rest was ok, seeing how both sides were fighting against the massive amount of Sirens was epic in a way, seeing how Enterprise solved almost everything was to be expected, but it didn't bother me.

The post battle scenes were quite nice, like seeing Yorktown standing and recovered and how both sides lived in harmony, I laughed at how Ark Royal enjoyed the scenery with all those new destroyers at the base or how Hood looked elegant in the tea ceremony organized by Souryuu.

The anime felt it more than anything like a 12-episode commercial for the game, it left many unfinished things and I assume that during the game the doubts will be clarified

I think I felt short with the few ships that appeared from the Iron Blood fleet, even the expected appearance of the famous Bismark was a scam, but finally Azur Lane has ended, but for me this is not over yet, I will continue this adventure with those Ship waifus from my smartphone.

On a separate note, I would have loved to see the Essex-class ship girls lively and in action, the same with Baltimore and Bremerton, but I'm satisfied with what I saw.

what can i say i LOVE Azur Lane so it finally getting an anime got me really happy

and while there was somethings that was a bit like could have been better i still really enjoyed their first attempt at an anime

remember reading that the makers of azur lane got their own animation company now so they can have full control over things so it really makes things very promising if they decide to ever make more anime

so all in all i enjoyed this, it was good, and it made me very happy to see a good amount of the girls from Azur Lane in anime form like this (though still was hoping for certain others to show but hey if any more anime comes they very well may be in it)

as for now will continue enjoying the mobile games JP/Global

and hoping hopefully more anime will come

Is it bad that I re-watched the entire anime without skipping anything then when it came to the final fight I skipped 2/3 of it? XD. Honestly was just like "Yep.........yep.........power of friendship, Hmmmh. Band together, win the day, horay" *Skip* Honestly my enjoyment of Azur Lane kind of just kept flipping per episode since it goes one episode action, one episode slice of life. The slice of life parts where Belfast or Enterprise were involved I liked but all the Javalin and Laffy stuff was just a bit meh. And that sadly makes up half the anime. It was just all so cliche so re-watching it I definitely felt that way more than when I first watched it.

But honestly that Enterprise moment LMAO.

Kantai Collection's Fubuki: "Im pretty important to the plot but I still need help"
Azur Lane's Enterprise: "IM A GOD!!" *One shots the final boss with no help*

LMAO. Cant believe Enterprise one shot the final boss. Im just re-watching this and seeing them build up Orochi as this great threat then Enterprise like "Bow go pew" dead. LMAO!!!!! I can imagine the people complaining this anime was praising Enterprise too much wont be happy with this XD.

Welp, with this, "Jesus Enterprise-sama and Her Merry Worshipers - The Animation" has come to a close"

Its hilarious how accurate this statement is.

Yeah, even after a re-watch my opinion of this series is still a "Meh, its good." Its the most "Good" you can get. Its like a casual good you'd re-watch for some chill. By the end though I really couldnt be arsed to re-watch the Javalin scenes. They were the most cliched. That huge gap in the last few episodes REALLY hurt it and I can see a lot of people agreed.

Still prefer Kantai Collection over Azur Lane. Just felt better to me in pretty much every way. I did like the actual ships being there in AL though. And Belfast X Enterprise, but thats about it. Much prefer KC's more serious tone and cool af enemies. I feel Kantai Collection had a lot more likable characters but I think thats just up to my personal taste.

Well, I finished my re-watch for Belfast X Enterprise and it was cute. Now Im gone lol.

Lol, I completely forgot about this show up until now, I'm glad I finished it though, I rarely leave an anime unfinished unless its really shitty. For that matter, this anime is not that shitty that I didn't drop it, but it isn't in any way good as well, apart from the sexy girls and fanservice. 6/10 for an aircraft carrier shipgirl riding an aircraft.

For what it was worth of having an anime of a mobile game and such this wasn't all that bad. The generic theme in it certainly was there but it wasn't that bad either.

So all in all it was a nice watch I must say.

Nice graphics but stupid plot
I think Javelin is more suitable to be MC
Ship can fly is weird

I'm actually kind of impressed by all of this. The animation quality was trash, the pacing was a mess etc, but this concept of Amagi having been underhanding the Sirens and using them to bring Enterprise and Akagi together along with everyone else in order to beat the Sirens, was pretty well played.

Wasn't as bad as I was expecting, I guess not having any prior exposure to this franchise played a big role. Didn't care so much about the Enterprise/Akagi/Kaga drama but the battles and cgdct was fun to watch. The art quality and the character design were top notch and very easy to look at.

I've played the game since early 2019 so I'm a sucker for characters saying lines from the game (I am Nagato! for example. Note: the link is for a soundclip!). I'm also surprised how much screentime best girl Takao got (and also best girl Souryuu and best girl Ise and some other best girls.) Not a lot but still more than expected.

Overall I'm happy with the end result. I'm possibly desensitized by a lot of people complaining that it's crap and yuribait, to the point were I expected a lot more Our Saviour Enterprise and her trusty girlfriend/maid Belfast. It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected.

It's really not bad. I've quite enjoyed it, though predictable but what isn't these days. The war theme was done well. I will 1 extra points just for beautiful girls. OST was good as well. Safe ending, but not bad at all.

4/5 It wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be :p The animation was good and we got to see some of the characters with their different personalities from the game which is enough for me ^-^

Not too bad at all, it's a very niche and unique setting, these "ship girls" lol. The size of the cast and the constant introductions are a little overwhelming, though it didn't stop it from being mindless, fanservice fun. Had no problems with the plot, easy enough to follow. The animation was pretty damn good, way better than what I initially anticipated. Sound effects were also crisp and good on the ears. 7/10.

I see Bismark at the end, she must be rather powerful, judging by the name.



Spin off seems to be purely slice of life, which I'm looking forward to. Wholesome daily adventures with these cute characters? Sounds like a very easy watch.

Damn, I love Purifier's personality. I can't get enough of her craziness.
That was a cool barrage from the battleshipfus!
KMS Bismarck is cool! "Loyalty is Honor", that's the Schutzstaffel motto.
I want them to release figures of Sirens in the future.
Decent fanservice anime for the game. Hopefully they'll make a S2. 7/10

I give this a 7/10.

I had a lot of fun watching it and enjoyed it for what it was. I found the music and the battles to be good and the characters that got screentime were interesting.

I really can't go any higher than a 7 since despite the simplicity of the plot, I was often lost as to what was going on. I also couldn't help but notice the recycled still shots, and that's bad given I rarely pay attention to the animation.

Overall I'm glad I watched it, and I'd be willing to watch more if the Germans got more attention in the follow-up since Z23 is the GOAT.
