Why is Z23 not being marketed with the other starters in this anime

She's in but sadly she's not as popular as Laffey o Jabbers or Ayanami.

>Direction: Tenshou
Also Isn't that one of Urobouchi's boys? What studio is animating this?

>Belfast on the cover with Enty
I hope this means that my favorite milk maid will get tons of screen time. Also, give Atago and Prinz lots of screen time to round out my favorite botesluts.

Z23 is an evil nazi

Also known as Motoki Tanaka. IDK about him being butcher's lackeys, only the series composition one is.

Sad it will be dominated by GBF and FGO anime

Pretty sure its given that:
>the Destroyer Starters (Laffey, Javelin, Ayanami, and Z23) are in
>Enterprise
>Belfast
>Akagi
>Kaga
Eugen is probably a given. Maybe Hipper too? Washington as well, North Carolina, Prince of Wales and KGV hopefully too.

I don't give it high hopes. The first one by A-1 was pretty bland.

Where's #1?

They have big fanbase and that makes other small animes bland.

>Granblue, F/GO Babylonia and now Azur Lane airing in the same season.

He did gbf season 1 soundtrack

I wish magiarecord gets confirmed too so we have 4 and it's shaft

I doubt it's airing in Autumn. They haven't showed much on it since the initial announcement besides some character sketches a few weeks ago. We'll defintely get an air date next month for its second anni.

I just hope the smaller boats get some attention too. Even only Laffey would be enough. And please don't be a clusterfuck that takes itself too seriously.

Same thing for azurlane really. Expected it to air in winter and spring then suddenly they brought out all the news today

Loliboats bros assemble!

Nobody likes the g*rm

Saint Louis was in the PV, so we're probably going to get some baguette, how much is another question. You can put only so many characters in a 1 cour anime.

I can already see javelin bouncing around

>animes bland
Dude A-1 isn't exactly a creative studio and they almost exclusively do whatever their paymasters at Sony/Aniplex want them to do. Their original stuff is nothing to brag about either.

>A/Z

lulu when?

Attached: 75443721_p0.jpg (1920x1200, 808K)

It probably won't be next season. Aniplex is heavily involved with both Magireco and FGO and they probably don't want them competing against each other.

Reminder both Nips and chinks prefer Laffey over the other starters.

Attached: 1561532598980.jpg (600x333, 59K)

A/Z was Troyca.

Wasn't the Aniplex president bragging about it being the Gundam killer or something?

Bogue is cute and I hope she atleast appears in the background!

Good taste.

The real answer is that she's not a starter on the Japanese version. JP starters are Laffey, Javelin, and Ayanami with Z23 being the collection reward for having all three and MLBing them. The Chinese and English versions swap Z23 and Ayanami.

If they add Washington they need to add in North Carolina and South Dakota too

I dunno, but that sounds like something an Aniplex suit would say.

It’s confirmed for 2019. Also PMMM is re-airing this season with Magirepo credits, which will probably confirm it for fall. Either way, the fact that it was confirmed for 2019 a few weeks ago confirms it’s happening in Fall.

Back in my day we played Rage of Bahamut and didn't need things like "story" or "campaigns" just pvp and clan wars autism. And we had good adaptions of anime for it too.
I can understand the appeal for cute and funny but I prefer fat botes.

That's not necessarily a hard achievement mate.

That shouldn't be difficult unless they actually tried to make something worse, only the curry episode was any good.

Her design, and the attention of hips and butt on these finally drove me to start actually doing something with subs.

KC game is a dead zone it only lives off doujins at this point. Meanwhile AL game is doing perfectly fine for how f2p it is. It's making millions and that's more than enough to keep it alive. And anime will cause a boost even if it's shit.

Subs and sub hunting is supposed to be a pretty major part of the next event and they are pretty useful in high leveled missions, if a bit pricey on oil for what they do.

I'm sure there's a Sakura ship or two. Let me dig around and see what I can find.

Mogami comes close, but has too short of a curtain, as does Atago

Anti-sub gear is only really useful for hunting subs, but you do need to do them to get gold and purple torpedoes. It's a horrible cycle.

Saint Louis may be my favorite bote purely because her personality was inspired by Best Saint. Though that was a completely logical decision, considering the Saint Louis was merely a design that never actually came into fruition so there's not much to base a personality on other than the historical saint. Not gonna oath her though, that's reserved for Atago and Takao. I hope best ShipFu's will also get considerable screentime (though I doubt it).

Why do you think the game is filled with lolis? Why do you think loli Nagato, despite being a BB, is still far more popular than Washington?

Because nips have the worst fucking taste and all they like are bland small women. Strong women like Washington unironically intimidate them.

It is pretty hilarious.
Colorado gets released in KC within two months, and she is already has over 300+ fan art and is going to get some doujins soon.
Even some of the more popular AL girls don't have that.

You'll probably enjoy it more if you don't play the game.

While I doubt it's killing KC, not making any attempts to get a foothold outside of Japan and being a browser game does limit it somewhat. AL, meanwhile, is making pretty serious attempts to expand between having an official english release, an anime, and the console game, Azur Lane Crosswave, they recently announced.

Why is Akagi portrayed as Enterprise's rival? The summary of the interactions of the two ships is literally just

1. Akagi shoots down Enterprise's torpedo bombers
2. Dick Best destroys Akagi

Enterprise didn't even get a reputation until Guadalcanal, Akagi should be going "Who?" if you mention her. Zuikaku should be the main villain.

I remember reading this quote months ago and realizing that the reason why I like Azur Lane more than Kancolle is because at least Azur Lane has no pretense greater than being a simple waifu collector. I love seeing the new Azur Lane events and the new sexy/cute/pretty dresses they introduce for the girls. Bismarck in Azur Lane was rolled out with pic related, an absolutely stunning skin. Not to mention the perfect casting choice of Shiburin's VA for her.

Meanwhile, what do we have for Kancolle's Bismarck, who has been around for much longer?

AL Zuikaku is so hot compared to the old and busted KC one holy shit

Because the devs hate Zuizui especially her artist.

Because Yorktown, Essex, and Enterprise are to Americans what Akagi and Kaga are to the Japanese.

>want to play Azur Lane
>my phone is 4 years old and shit and can't run it
>I can't get any of the Android emulators to run at all on my PC despite being able to run modern games just fine

I tried Nox Player, Bluestacks and MEmu and none of them worked. A shame there is no browser version of Azur Lane.

Its amazing, her and her sister were in the top 10 popularity charts, then they do absolutely nothing with Shoukaku and leave Zuikaku as Mikasa's "knight" and they both plummet. Its just not fair.

No fucking shit.

Maybe you are like me. Try KOPLAYER

I thought the final fluff stuff and story event with Bismark fighting even knowing she was getting to get stomped in AL to be more emotionally "charged" then anything in KC which is just Japanese apologism for the IJN's failings in WW2.

Y tho. The Shokakus ended up being the most effective carriers the Japanese had. Akagi and Kaga were the equivalent of Lexington and Saratoga - frankenstein battleship conversions made up to get some use out of the hulls. And they got sunk in their first major naval battle.

There's permadeath in KC? For the botes? So if I understand this right, you can spend days trying to get good gacha so that you can get the girl you want, and she can permanently die in game? That is fucking retarded if true.

Maybe most effective on paper, but they were nothing more than cannon fodder.
After Midway, IJN never recovered, so Akagi and Kaga are peak IJN kidou butai.

Both of you

Not on paper, in combat. The Kido Butai at Midway was more powerful on paper, but it got totally destroyed so the point is moot.

The cover looks pretty great. I want this to be good. Hopefully we get some crackling explosion asmr.

...

Which combat? All I remember is Coral sea being a tossup and then they were either without their airgroup or served as cannon fodder afterwards.
Also, during Midway, while the IJN did have more carriers, the US had more planes at their disposal, so the IJN being significantly more powerful at Midway is misleading, since the key forces that did battle were almost evenly matched. You could even say US had a advantage there in pure aircraft numbers.

The US air groups sans Yorktown were fucking noobs at Midway. Hornet's planes might as well have not existed. The Midway group's only contribution was convincing Nagumo he needed to hit the island again. Hell, Enterprise's pilots would have accomplished nothing had the Nautilus not made an attempt on Kirishima. Only Yorktown's planes were truly effective that day, and did not rely on luck or happenstance to get results.

Shokaku and Zuikaku's air groups were not "cannon fodder" any more than any other Japanese air unit, in the sense that they were under constant attrition from fighting a relentless American air campaign they had no chance of succeeding against.

KC players hate them because ALfags constantly shitposted about how their game was going to kill KC in every possible KC threads/platforms for like 9+ months before JP AL servers released.
Then when they released the JP server it didnt even reach 1/3rd the popularity KC at non-event time, and lost 75% of their players and revenue within 4 months yet they continued to shitpost about "killing" KC.

God, she's so fat. I want to punish her for being such a fat slut.

>Throws a bunch of hypotheticals
Too bad, that crew did just as much if not more damage than Yorktown. That's like me giving excuses to why Shoukaku kept getting bombed and needing repairs and I excuse it with Zuikaku's own luck and claim if she was more proactive it wouldn't have happened.

It's not gacha in a majority gacha market, that alone will keep it alive.

The point is that their success wasn't because they were good at their jobs. The Japanese pilots were markedly better than them, but they got fucked by intel and Nagumo.

Shokaku getting hit all the time really does seem to be co-incidence, I've never seen any evidence Zuikaku's helmsman was some kind of god or something, the Americans just always picked Shokaku as their target. It's just how it went.

They are better because they don't try to cram trashy outfits for all their ships.

But it's WORSE than a gacha

>permadeath system
>resource galore
>grind hell
how the fuck is it still ALIVE

According to Arashi's crew they were already back with the rest of the fleet when McCluskey found her. So apparently the dive bombers would have found them anyway.

>good at their jobs
Don't know, some of those bomb hits were mighty impressive.
>got fucked by intel and Nagumo
Well yeah that's war its hectic and even the strongest can lose when your plan ends up terrible. They also had huge egos especially those of the 1st Carrier Division who loved to bully the fifth any chance they got.

How would they have known when McCluskey saw them? Given they didn't tip anyone off, they clearly didn't see his planes until everyone else did.

Sunk cost?

Basically this, people just don't want to leave something they started 7 years ago and amassed so much.

It was just Best. McCluskey's squadron went for more dakka, Best took out Akagi with one fucking bomb. If it wasn't for him, Akagi wouldn't have been sunk because McCluskey fucked up his attack signal and caused everyone but Best and his wingmen to attack Kaga.

Unless it's a biplane an aircraft goes faster than. a 30 knot boat. It makes sense if arashi was already with the fleet but on the outer perimeter. This is probably why Japanese accounts don't see it as a miracle but the Americans finding them fair and square. Realistically a monoplane wouldn't be able to follow a destroyer if she was far from the fleet.

It's a good thing that they don't have Mikasa or they'll get to watch the official Musuem ship adopt the superior cuter granny.

Too bad for the KC Iowa fans,(especially that one autist), if AL Iowa was actually adopted officially by the museum ship even though its ridiculously weeb.

Originally, Mutsu wasn't going to be a loli, only Nagato. Story wise this happens because Nagato goes to sleep after fucking up everything, as she basically allowed the AL's equivalent of Pearl Harbor, while Mutsu took care of her.

However, the artist in charge had, let's say an issue, with the Devs. After a massive shit tornado his designs were scrapped and we got the 2 lolis.

Personally, I found loli Mutsu to be t0 cute, but the truth is, we did lose a nice Mutsu.
