Is it Guadalcanal campaign? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadalcanal_campaign ButcherG said: Hey, I'm glad you enjoy it. It's just that I've seen a ton of people who are just confused and constantly bashing the anime and as someone who plays the game, it makes me kinda sad tbh. Remember one basic rule. Myanimelist opinion/rating/review doesn't matter.There's a reason why some anime like Arifureta get season 2 even though Myanimelist does not like that anime. Yeah I know. Christ I almost even forgot that Arifureta anime existed. Either way, I'm still super enjoying Azur Lane and a lot of people seem to also like it and that's all that matters. |

Stealth46 said: HaXXspetten said: Unfortunately this is really feeling like one of those anime where it's basically expecting the viewers to already be well familar with the source material, and for anyone that isn't, well tough luck Or the viewers who are familiar with world war 2. I've never played the game but I still understand all the references and what's going on because I'm fascinated by World War 2, especially the navy battles. I actually visited Laffey a couple months ago. I'm surprised most of the people commenting talk about the game and not about the actual war. I think it's really interesting and refreshing that the Japanese ships are depicted as the antagonists instead of the protagonists. On a side note, I hate mobile games and refuse to support them but I thought I read that there will be a PS 4 version of the game coming out soon that I would be willing to support. I too like the fan service and I think that Prinz Eugen is the most attractive character. LOL! I was the other way around. I become fascinated with WW 2 naval battle thanks to this anime. Enterprise - "The most revered and decorated ship of World War II" That line give me chills. It's a shame they never put Enterrpise in museum. |
| I’m really enjoying the anime so far. I haven’t played the game, but I’m a WWII fan. I also was surprised & like that the Sakura Empire are the bad guys, Any historical tidbits are welcome. I started off with Enterprise as my Shipfu, but after checking out Hornet, she’s my favorite now. |
| I want to savour that THICC legs of Prinz Eugen! 5/5. |
 |
| Literally everyone after watching this episode.... |
| Hopefully we get to see King George V, Takao and Atago in episode 3. |
| Its a shame how they handle the fanservice in this show, it really cheapens the feel of it, such a shame that they had to go in that direction. More ship fanservice and less ecchi crap please. |

| Well, I certainly wasn't expecting a Long Island ship girl. And then I learned that there was an actual Long Island escort carrier that served in WWII. Thank you for teaching me some history, anime. A shame she looks like a loli, but I'll take what I can get. Strong Island represent! Also, that girl fighting with Enterprise was pretty hot. |
| Long Island, the NEET 'ghost' ship. Even her armaments are invisible, lol. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| there's some historical references in here i see, makes it easier since i haven't played the azur lane game but i know a little about wwii naval battles. |
| Awww man Laffey too cute. Enterprise is a really brave and great girl. Also The fox sisters r hot. |

DeitysDynasty said: Was enterprises personality always this stoic? In the game i thought she was more open In the game the "admiral" has the bond with the kansens which grows the more you use them here there's no admiral to be seen... be happy she talked with laffey & Javelyn and went to save hornet. |
 |
| I'm just here to watch lewd girl playing with guns. I wonder why people are asking something "logical" about this anime. |
 |
| Anyone else love how this is literally Fucking waifu wars lol |
 |
TheEnclave said: Lastly, I know this show is based on a game, but I would have liked to see the IJN Taiho and USS-Midway as the "Strongest carrier" because in fact, they are. But I guess I can't expect too much from this show anyway. I hope IJN Yamato, USN-Montana/IOWA, will make an apperance sometimes. Maybe even Graf Zeppelin? Unfortunately, only Zeppelin and Taihou have made it into the game so far (as I know) - Zeppy actually being featured in that faction roster presentation at the start of the episode, so you can probably look forward to at least seeing her in action. And perhaps you'll be tickled to hear that Taihou is indeed quite the powerhouse in-game. |
| Its cool to see these melee battles. I really like the fact that theres many different country ships in this whereas Kantai Collection only really had Japanese ones. Another good episode cant wait for more. Still cant get over how cool it is to see the actual ships before they equip them. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Eeeehhhh is that mobile game I played for a week and then abandoned because after that I found Destiny Child and had way more fun with that... I might get back into this maybe one day... maybe... Don't know yet, what I do know is that this anime has some pretty sweet animation, and a lot of lolis for some reason... Though they could probably smooth things out a bit between super serious, PEOPLE ARE DYING sort of moments and HAHAHAHA SO FUNNY / OOPS HER CLOTHES GOT PULLED DOWN NOW LET ME LICK YOUR FACE sort of moments, it feels weird when it's done with so little time in between and it's why I stopped watching Kancolle when that was a thing. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| some part has lower animation quality but it's fine since that there are more characters showing up. I'm expecting something good in the upcoming episode. |
| End me |
| They did my girl Eugen justice. She looks so good animated, dayum. Enterprise versus Shoukaku was cool, though the animation pettered out in the end. Glad to see some of my favorite British ships making an appearance, specifically Warspite and Belfast. The pacing felt much more off than in the first episode. Hope it won't become a long-term problem. |
 |
| Those fanservice shots are weird weird weird. Maybe bc the girls look so small they're uncomfortable to watch... Fight scenes were pretty cool though. I would like to see more of Enterprise and her more familiar/friendly side rather than her stoic battle personality. |

| What is Enterprise doing? She knows she won't be able to handle herself in a battle so soon after the last one, yet she does it anyway. Oooo, British ships ahoy! 'Ello 'ello. |
Chikenfrieds said: Strike Witches has a manageable cast that gets properly introduced, a clear protagonist and a well defined goal. The only criticism in your post that applies to it is the lack of ambition.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. |
| What a really nice episode, it was hot! Especially with the scene with Kaga and Akagi. The animation is very nice, the fight scenes are nice. The highlight for me is with the German ship, Prinz Eugene, she is just very hot, no denying it. I also find Shoukaku quite cute. |

| I'm really enjoying it so far, but at the same time I can understand how it must feel like a chaotic mess for anyone unfamiliar with the game and/or the historic references which are a little tenuous at times |
| Cleveland's English voice reminds me of Astolfo (Fate/Apocrypha) a lot. Actually more how the voice is used, not how exactly it sounds like. |
| I don't understand worry about Enterprise for now.. Something like she's too dedicated?.. Well, it can backfire, but for now we lack info, really.. Maybe she's just hardworking, and it's good.. Will see.. Is Laffey an alcoholic?.. She's at the same time funny, but I worry a bit about girl.. Well, maybe she is just like that.. She is as how she is.. Well.. Akagi and Kaga's relationship is hot.. ;p And, I mean.. There is nothing wrong with that.. If they love each other, they love each other.. And if they're more into playful, a bit yanderish love, then they're more into it.. ;p Hm, the topic of ship girls and their fight.. Why one or another ship girl fights?.. They were created especially for this, as I understood?.. So they kinda don't have choice.. Kinda.. Maybe there is option to join your enemies instead or something, but then you'd have to still fight as a ship girl.. But in the end some girls are finding their reasons, why they fight.. Be it to protect someone like Laffey fights for.. Or maybe some other reasons.. Either way.. I'm glad we're touching this topic, as it must be important for ship girls to find some kind of reason or make decision that there isn't any.. So many cute and hot girls in this anime.. I'd like to learn more about them.. But they're living life like this now - war is going on.. Not much time for something else.. I quite like Ending of the anime.. I like my calm, beautiful Ending songs.. ;p Overall, nice second episode as well.. Maybe I'm usually not that big of a fan of action series.. But I'm interested in the ship girls, want to learn and see more of them, so glimpses of their personality through battle are nice as well.. Also it's not long running action, it's only 12 episodes anime.. Well, either way, whatever is working.. I'm entertained so far.. Will like to see more cute and hot girls.. ;p |
| Laffey is just mood lol Enterprise even pushing herself to the limit is one beast on the battlefield Not a big fan of loli fanservice, good thing they got some big tiddy warships |
 |
| BELFAST IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Literally the only reason Im re-watching this is for Belfast X Enterprise XD. Its so nice to see Belfast again. She was a heavy influence on one of my D&D characters. I love her demeanorand how she speaks. As a British person I can appreciate the maidness XD. God I love the Royal Navy. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Akagi x Kaga. <3 Cool episode, but there are too many characters and special abilities to remember. Well, I haven't played the game, so that's probably the biggest issue. |

| This shit is so whack, thankfully I know nothing about the game, so all this is new to me. Pretty entertaining, I must admit. |
