The original Azur Lane smartphone game was developed in May 2017 by Shanghai Manjuu and Xiamen Yongshi and published by the streaming website Bilibili. The game was released in Japan in September 2017 by Yostar, with the official English localization released in May 2019. A comic anthology was released in January 2018, with a Playstation 3D game, Azur Lane Crosswave, released last August by Compile Hearts.

Bibury Animation Studios produced a 12-episode television anime based on the game that premiered in Fall 2019, with the last two episodes airing on March 13 and 20, respectively.

I mean as long as it's AL SoL, it has to be better than the AL anime adaptation...

Looking forward to it.

As a Azur Lane fan I'm looking forward to this. I think this will be better than the other AL anime adaptation.

I laughed at Nimi's "wtf am I doing?" face in the poster xD

Already looking better than the main anime "Jesus Enterprise-sama: The Animation". Azur Lane can't go wrong if it focuses on SoL and starter lolis. Looking forward to this.

Normally, this is the part I'd complain why it isn't full 20-min but this time, it's a wise decision to make it just a short. Cuz if it's full length, I'm sure the source manga will run out pretty fast since it's only 3 pages per chapter lol.

And...

Go home MAL, you're drunk. I know not everyone can be familiar with WWII's ship names but at least check the main show or the source material (game)'s background before pulling out a random English word out of your ass.

Looking forward to this. I might be in the small group of people that liked the previous adaptation but this does seem like it'd be a lot more fun. More Nimi please.
