EPISODE REVIEWS

Great first impressions. I love the detail that the girls' gear corresponds to actual physical warships they have to dock and store. The political setup has me hooked too. I'm incredibly curious about the motives behind Iron Blood and the Sakura Empire's sudden defection.

My third series of warship gijinka after two seasons of Kancolle, I can see myself getting addicted to this mwehehe. While animation is slightly inferior to it's competitor, story wise, I find Azur lane more engaging with how the characters are better fleshed out and nuanced. 7.5/10.

Since this series is based off of a game, most of each character design has their own unique look. Illustrious is probably one of my favorites because of how elegant her outfit looks. I also like how smooth the scene transitions between 2D and 3D. The CGI blends so naturally with the art style. I think its really cool whenever games get adapted into an anime because it gives fans more content to enjoy the characters.
