I love how they did the character designs justice. The fox sisters look so stunning, wow! All the starter destroyers look adorable.

The animation is also fluid. I thought this would be a budget adaptation, but looks like I'm wrong.

Really hyped for this even though I don't play the game anymore.

Zuikaku appearing briefly in an engagement with Belfast. I’m hyped to see my waifu Akagi. Hopefully, we get to see more shipfus than just the ones in PV.

Japan doesn't know she exists apparently. I'm surprised she's even in the PV.

She's not a starter ship in JP and apparently a lot of starter ship fanart leave her out.

But that scene was disrespectful. She should not have been replaced by Unicorn. She should have been in the scene with the three others.
Very sad.

Maybe there's some plot related reason why she can't be with em in that scene or maybe I am just hopnig poor Niimi doesn't get shafted again

>Javelin, Laffey, Ayanami, and...Unicorn?
No hate I like Unicorn but you can't disrespect Z23 like that. She is one of the starter ships (for some regions) after all.
