| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Azur Lane is back and looks like the show is marching towards its final battles. Enterprise and the others are also back to deal with the Siren threat. A bit of an eerie episode with the amount of enemies they have to face. Good thing these ship girls are united with the same ambition but time will tell if their plan will work. Kaga is also back! I hope the finale will be worth waiting for all these weeks cause this show has been pretty underwhelming imo. |
 |
| Is this show still worth the watch after waiting for 3 months? At this point, it's wise not to continue unless the legit fan is still burning. With that said, the battle of the Sirens between the Sakura Empire and Azur Lane continues to take heavy tolls on both sides. Even with Enterprise who resurrected out of that insane condition back in the last episode with Akagi, no risk is ever too big for her, while this may not last her long. But with the Mental Cube, the Sirens take the fight to another level, and Azur Lane needs another counterstrategy to finish this immense battle. Even the girls in Sakura Empire start to doubt sisters Akagi and Kaga on a coup d'etat with the Sirens (and welp, it's true, but as a tool for Akagi's sacrifice). In her place, it's Big Sis Amagi leading the charge in pure manipulative efforts. And with that, the Sakura Empire has the anticipation of Azur Lane to help defeat the Sirens once and for all with the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" cliché clause. Good thing that Ayanami is still alive from that ordeal, but the Orochi continues to evolve and grow in power and strength. All I need to say this episode is: "Please wake up, Akagi!" What a war of insane proportions. After 3 months, it seems that the production values haven't changed a fair bit from all those times ago. Hope the finale sticks it's landing. |

| Still really bad, they should have canceled the anime |
 |
Didn't expect to see Eugen this bothered in this show, she truly didn't see Kaga's move coming  Also Kaga and Akagi getting their head knocked by Amagi with the sfx and especially their squeals was hilarious, Kaga making such a noise was completely unexpected I'm dissapointed they didn't give Akagi-chan and Kaga-chan(small Kaga needs to be canon) an appearance in this Anime within the retrospect with Amagi, it would've been the perfect chance  this episode doesn't explain why i had to wait 3 months to be able to finish this show but whatever, the girls are still cute, one more episode to go, hope they can make the final an interesting chaos at least or they add more cute or funny stuff |

| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| What have the damn Sirens done to poor Akagi, she's completely in their control. The decisive battle has started and just one more episode to go. Hope the finale will be grand. |
 |
| 3 months delay and they forgot to animate Prinz Eugen's mole, this is pure blasphemy |
| Finally it's back! Can't believe it's been 3 months since the last episode. I remember when they made the announcement I was so disappointed because I had no issue with the art or animation of the first 10 eps. Honestly, the animation and art doesn't look like it's changed in those 3 months, for me, so not sure what was going on behind the scenes. Had to wait so long to see my queen Prinz, smh. Really enjoyed the episode, it felt like a double length one with all the action. Orochi seems like it can exploit and manifest the inner desires of a host. Did it to Enterprise, now Akagi and Kaga. One more episode to be able to sort everything out and get some answers. I don't think that'll be possible, so hopefully we get a season 2 |
 |
| I don't know what the hell is going on after all the 3 months break. But I feel sorry for Akagi. |
 |
| 3 months passed by so quickly. They really did improve the animation quality. This feels a bit forgotten. Its now a big battle now that Sakura Empire realize they were fooled all along. Anyway, time to finish this series with one last episode. |
| wait what? that's it? They took a 3 month break to improve things, was the original that bad? didn't expect much but that still felt like a letdown. Got the job done at least so it ain't really the end of the world |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| 3 months have gone by rather quickly and Azur Lane has finally gotten back on track with the new episode. For the visuals and animation, it has improved compared to the original episodes before the improvements that the production team did, but it's not as big of an improvement as I hoped it would be. At least the characters are still enjoyable to watch. It'll be interesting to see if Azur Lane and the other factions can defeat the Sirens and save Kaga and Akagi from the clutches of Amagi at the same time or not. Good episode overall and here's hoping the final episode is also worth the extra 3 month wait. |
| Pretty decent episode. We all knew that at the end all the factions would work together to defeat the Sirens. Especially when we learned about the big ship. I feel like Im watching a combination of Kantai Collection and Strike Witches season 2. They're still got comedy even in combat I see. Personally prefer Kantai Collections more realistic and serious combat. Azur Lane seems to joke around a bit too much and the bright artstyle doesnt help the mood. (Unless thats intentional.) There was so many cliched lines in this episode about friendship and all that XD. Especially when it came to Kaga and Akagi. It was a bit interesting to learn about Kaga. If they're like Kantai collection hopefully thats an actual fact about the Kaga ship. Shame they dont play more on the actual ships but I guess we have Kantai Collection for the more serious take on this and with its historical nods like Iron Bottom Sea etc. Honestly though this wasnt worth an entire anime season wait. No idea why they delayed it THAT long. It just disjoints everything. Guess people who watch it after its complete wont have that problem. Well we all know whats going to happen next episode so meh. My score will probably stay a 7/10. It was good but the gap really hurt it. Personally prefer Kantai Collection over this since it takes itself more seriously and doesnt have ships flying around ballerina style. Azur Lane has nicer character designs though and the idea that they can still have their full on battleships to stand on is cool. I like to see the battleships in their full form so that was cool. Meta_Yoshi said: It'll be interesting to see if Azur Lane and the other factions can defeat the Sirens and save Kaga and Akagi from the clutches of Amagi at the same time or not. Thats suggesting theres even the slightest chance that they'd kill a character which from what we've seen and how this anime is in general theres 0% chance they'll kill someone lol. Unless you count a already long dead Amagi (but technically its the big ship.) They wouldnt kill the precious waifus. |

| It was ok! Not a major improvement for the time it took them to delay this! Lucikly I still remember a bit from where they left off. I am worried for the future works this stuido has planned though... |

Nothing wrong with wishing for a bit of a twist in having more than one other character die, as long as it contributes to the plot. But, to be honest, that's just wishful thinking on my part. The staff will most get a bit of grief from the fans regardless if they choose to kill another character along with Amagi or go for the more predictable route of saving everyone. ^^; |
| Oh hey the show's alive again. Not sure what the delay was about but that's a lot of mind break going on with Akagi hehe. |
 |
| 3 months passed and it's just like the first episode. What the fuck is going on still? lmao |
| Funny how they are trying to add depth to war subplot (are we truly enemies? is this war even worth fighting/sacrifice? etc.) with surprisingly ~good results, I was invested in Enterprise's subplot. But then there are Sirens who are like "We are Evil Bi*ch!". This is funny-sad xD |

| Nice episode, glad to have this back after such a long time. That said, there were parts where I felt that art for the character faces felt really off. Especially during the initial sortie with Yukikaze, Shigure and Yuudachi. Something felt really off about their faces. Stop it! Don't hurt my fox waifus anymore, they only deserve happiness. :( The part with Amagi smacking Akagi and Kaga on their heads was adorable. Those reactions. <3 Episode had tons of cameo of so many ships, nice! Nimi deserves more screentime though. I'm curious if Bismarck will make an appearance in the final episode. They've been teasing us all this while with her in the OP but absolutely no screentime. I kinda want to see some of the PR ships but I guess that ain't happening. The ED is so beautiful. |
 |
| YEHHH AL is back and i have no idea whats going on but we farming 3.4 for akagi Kaga regardless of the quality i'm just happy they still manged to put it out and just didn't decide to can the whole thing |
 |
| At last it's back! go for it Ayanami! snatch the MC position of Enterprise and make the glory all for yourself! LOLZ! 5/5. |
 |
| Not a bad episode but... 3 months just for 2x24minutes episodes, well I'm wondering if such a long delay was truly necessary. But I'm just glad this universe's back ! |
 |
| Still no sign of Bismarck. Final episode maybe. |

I think it would be interesting if someone died but Azur lane just isnt that type of thing. Bright, colourful, comedic. Thats what I got from seeing this. Especially with only one episode left to finish the season which people are already waning on. |

Yep exactly, it's one of the most hyped sequels for me and I worry how the studio will handle it.. |
|
| lol what a letdown the animation barely has any animation in it |
| It's nice to have this show back, I suppose. Not too much of a difference in animation quality but I didn't find it to be lacking too much overall so it's an improve for me. Don't know if it was worth the 4 month wait though but hopefully this will not enrage fans to .. cross boundaries, to say the least. Looks like there's going to be a lot of grief for the Sakura Empire leaders but I'm curious to see how it'll all pan out in the end nonetheless. It's time to go for "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" against the Sirens, I reckon. I wonder if the mystery behind Enterprise will be revealed next episode though. I still love the ED to smithereens, god. For some reason, the Op sounded better than listening to it weekly too lol. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| glad the shipgirls are back! :) Kaga and Akagi have both gone crazy. funny, even in the dangerous situation.. Eugen can still insult girls who have small chest. xD my only complaint is the incredible amount of plot armor the lolis have. They face multiplehigh level seiren, and only one is firing at them?! Or maybe because the lucky ship Yukikaze is with them? >< |
| ngl i dont care about the plot anymore, i just wanna see some cute anime girls. |
dunno me baka aho |
| Uhh not sure if 3 months were worth for just this... It was okay, at least this is continuing 'til the end. Btw, what a rare occasion to see Prinz Eugen pissed off xD |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Weekly dose of cute anime shipgirls are back |
 |
| why is she talking about Kaga retrofit? release it now! LOL |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |

| Alright Azur lane is back, I gotta be honest I don't see much improvement despite the delay but 1 more episode and its finish, so let's get this thing done |
| Lmao, they took three months to come out with this? The art is better by a barely-noticeable amount and the tiny amount of animation in this episode was still just as choppy as it was in previous episodes. I am honestly curious to know what went on in the offices of that studio during those three months, because right now it's seeming like they just took a vacation for themselves. I have to assume they are saving everything for the last episode, or else this anime which was already a disaster will become an even bigger failure. Aside from that, this anime still suffers from the same old problems with plot and characterization since its start, and it's too late to fix any of that now. I am no longer interested in this shit show of a story, especially after waiting three months for it, but I guess I will keep watching since I'm too far in and I am still holding onto the hope that Bismarck will appear. |
 What's the difference? |
| A bit late to the party but things are defo kicking off. Next episode ready! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Well, this couldn't have become more predictable even if they wanted to. At least it seems Eugen will finally see some action tho. P.S.: Just now I realized this studio will be handling the second season of "5-toubun no Hanayome"... oh, boy. |

| Kaga was made from parts of Amagi?.. Damn.. Well, it happens like this with ships.. But for Kaga it means a lot.. Because Akagi means a lot to her.. So did Akagi actually love Kaga or not?.. Poor Akagi and Kaga, really.. Well, that's truth that only with battling Sirens Enterprise can learn the truth.. Still dangerous.. Final episode next.. Though, already it's been a great ride.. ;p |
| I really thought Kaga could never replace Amagi from last episode where she wanted to get Akagi's affection even if she has to replace Amagi, but they put quite the twist there |
 |
| Definitely glad I waited for the Crimson Echoes rerun on EN server before watching these last two episodes. I missed it the first time around, and since the basis of that event is the relationship between Amagi, Kaga and Akagi, this episode would've had less meaning without it. Seems like the anime is still working as an accompaniment to the game, but not so much as a separate entity |
