Well for the protag most likely Enty and maybe AKaga?

As for the villain of course it'll be Purifier.

the villain won't be solely purifier, but likely the sirens in general and those that align with the sirens

From what we see at the teasers, we will have the "Azur Lane" fighting the sirens. The question for me is if the "Crimson Axis" (Akagi and company) will be there separately or if they joint forces with one or another side.

I guess it depends on if they're following the game's story or not. I would say Kaga and Akagi will definitely be villains, we know Enterprise will be a hero. My guess is the protagonist will be one of our starters, and because marketing, that means probably Ayanami. I could see a solid argument for Javelin, Laffey, or Z23 though, and we'll see flagships like Enty and Hood as "All Might" type mentor characters.

If they're going for a second season or cour, I bet most of this season is focused on Kaga/Akagi as the antagonists with a little bit of the sirens, and then switching to focus on the sirens as the driving villains. Just my guesses!

The main villain turns out to be the Shikikan, who in a shocking twist is revealed to have sacrificed hundreds of common ships and bulin children in pursuit of making his fleet stronger.

Main character is probably Enterprise. Villain might be Akagi or Siren?
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

Now that is one hell of an idea.

Sirens, obviously. The only other option would be the Sakura Empire or the Ironblood, but the former would definitely not go over well in Japan. Either way, the sirens are the biggest enemies in the game, so it makes sense the anime would follow.


What's the difference?

No idea why you think that, even if Japan were the antagonists it would be received well in Japan, Japan already is the antagonist in the game, multiple events, the chapter storyline etc, and Sirens might be the true enemy, the "game masters" but they barely ever pop up outside of events, what i want is for them to just adapt the Pacific War, aka follow the chapters, which is already has a high chance since as we've seen Enterprise is obvious main character, and Akagi the Antagonist, in the trailer.

No they aren't. The game makes it a point to show that the Japanese are just "misguided" and that they are being manipulated by the Sirens, and in the end, the Japanese fight against the Sirens too.

and Sirens might be the true enemy, the "game masters" but they barely ever pop up outside of events


The events are Azur Lane's biggest attraction and the story for the main chapters sort of drops off after Midway and there isn't much emphasis put on it by the devs. The event stories are much more detailed, and you always see them fighting the Sirens at the end.

what i want is for them to just adapt the Pacific War, aka follow the chapters, which is already has a high chance since as we've seen Enterprise is obvious main character, and Akagi the Antagonist, in the trailer.


Not really. The game had Akagi as a villain at first too, but the anime is probably going to do what the game did and have Akagi and Enterprise fight each other at first but then join forces to defeat the Sirens in the end.


What's the difference?

If the series goes same as the main story in the game, it will be restory the historical WW2 story at Pasific War between America and Japanese, and the protagonist was from Allied Force and the villains is Axis Force. But, in some event (another story or maybe the main story they mentioned on synopsis) there will be new enemy called Siren, they are various and strong. And sure, the shipgirls will be united and fight together side by side no matter where they come from, for example US ship and Imperial Japanese ship will work together, either with Kriegsmarine ship. So, I can said that the protagonist will be those cute shipgirls and the commander, and the antagonist is Siren, a strange creature from the deep sea (but I don't know the background of this creature named Siren)

The main protagonist seems to be USS Enterprise. Lines up with some of the game's tangled storylines, particularly the recent extremely plot-heavy event.

If we're kinda lucky, the main villain will be Observer Alpha (alongside the other 'named' yellow Sirens, Tester Beta and Purifier). I think one of the promos showed Tester briefly, so hopefully we will get Sirens.

If we're unlucky, the main villain will just be Akagi. She's in all the adverts but really she's not suited for it -- she dies fairly early in the "historical" route and is really just a henchman on the "scifi" side of things.

If we're very lucky, the villain will be a force/entity only alluded to in the game thus far, probably "Antiochus". We'll get full explanations for things like the 'alter' versions of Enterprise and Takao and the multiple Siren factions while really delving into the multi-timeline reality-hopping scifi action.

If we're very unlucky, the villain will be just like if we were very lucky, only there will be nowhere enough time and/ or effort to develop the complex, tangled mess of a plot that's necessary to support the time travel stuff, leaving the whole thing an inexplicable mess.

Maybe Akaga is going to be an early villain, maybe the ep 3 or 6 villain. Then become friends and fight Sirens

There's just no way the Fox Twins become allies within such a short amount of time unless the anime wants to suck. I mean, their willingness to clone sunken Sakura ships even drives away their fellow Sakurans. Do you truly think Azur Lane reacts differently?

Maybe what he said is "temporary allies", because it's clear in the game itself they both (Azur Lane and Crimson Axis) is enemy, but I think more like Rival because Crimson Axis use Sirens technology to rules the sea, they both have same course, but different on who's gonna be the leader.
From my point of view, both Azur Lane and Crimson Axis will become temporary allies to fight against Sirens, and then will become enemies again after Sirens defeated. Azur Lane (Royal Navy and Eagle Union) and Crimson Axis (Sakura Empire and Ironblood) isn't gonna likely to be "permanent allies" because Crimson Axis, is using Sirens tech, so Azur Lane (maybe) consider them as enemy

For Note: The Fox Twins (Akagi and Kaga) is from Sakura Empire

.
Why would the Crimson Axis fight against the Sirens though? The New Sakura Empire is one thing, but even Bismarck (who regrets siding with the Sirens) didn't show any sign of switching over to Azur Lane before her inevitable downfall anywhere in Scherzo.

Because the Crimson Axis (especially Sakura Empire) wants to "use" sirens technology to rule the world. But Ironblood Empire is only joining forces and become Crimson Axis to defeat their opponent, Azur Lane.
And what's the difference between Sakura Empire and "New" Sakura Empire..
Also if u think Bismarck is IJN (Sakura Empire) you wrong. She's KMS (Ironblood Empire)

Little did us know that the Protag is Enty (which is quite obvious but can still be possibly wrong) and the Antag is Alter Enterprise and the Siren working in the background only (except purifier,maybe?)

Sardegna doesn't seem to want to use Siren tech. But yeah the other 2 factions do.

And what's the difference between Sakura Empire and "New" Sakura Empire

After Visitors Dyed In Red and Return of the War God, Mikasa, the Crane Sisters and Ayanami form the New Sakura Empire. A rebel group. Nagato and Mutsu (possibly Kawakaze as well) join in Ink-Stained Steel.

Also if u think Bismarck is IJN (Sakura Empire) you wrong. She's KMS (Ironblood Empire)

Nobody thinks the most iconic BB of WWII is Japanese.

Even though the Midway event that doesn't mean that Akage and Kaga will be short-lived villians due to the fact that in one event they do get redirected by the Sirens in ISSS where Zuikaku and co are trying to redirect Nagato to lead the reformed Sakura Empire. Yes Zuikaku plays a major role in the Sakura themed events believe it or not.

So basically Sakura Empire is split into 2 sides, which is "New" Sakura Empire and Ink-Stained Steel? If so, why they splitting up?

Basically, if ur conclusion is true, this mean the anime could be have season 2 where the first season is solving Sirens problem and the second season might be the real deal (Azur Lane vs Crimson Axis)

Indeed. The main reason is Akagi's decision. I believe she's trying to forcibly do something to the Sakura shipgirls. Zuikaku rebelled because Akagi took Shoukaku in Visitors Dyed In Red against her own will.

I like the way you think. I'd want a 2nd season as well if possible. AL's plot has so much potential. The timeline is confusing though.

No, Azur Lane vs Crimson Axis happen along with Azur Lane vs Siren. In fact there is only Azur Lane faction created to combat Siren but Sakura Empire and Iron Blood defected and formed the Crimson Axis, and Crimson Axis wage war again Azur Lane,they also fight Siren at the same time because Siren is enemy of all mankind. So it turn into a battle royale between 3 faction: Azur Lane vs Crimson Axis vs Siren. So you will see war on both battlefield: vs Crimson Axis and vs Siren at the same time, not other way around, if you playing the game you will know that Siren rarely fighting full force, they just troll Azur Lane and Crimson Axis while provoking them fighting each others

Based on the most recent trailer, I can safely assume that the Shikikan/Teitoku will not actually be a character

Other than that, Enterprise and Javelin are the mains for sure

But aren't we all excited if there's season 2, and besides the probability they adapt the exact thing in the game is small, because they didn't record the event on chapter 5 onward so I assume that they will fight Sirens first and then Crimson Axis and will most likely witnessing New Sakura Empire vs Ink-Stained Steel

Yea so based on the last few trailers, enterprise, ayanami z23 laffey and javelin will most likely be the protagonists and akagi and kaga the antagonists
