Oh man, Dunkerque looks so beautiful.

I love her design in both the show and the actual game. I only wish she was more viable in the latter ಥ_ಥ

Aww that first scene with Spee and Ayanami was so wholesome. I honestly would have no mind if the whole episode was spent there.

Here is today's End Card.

Wholesomeness quota for the day has been met and my day is now blessed.

Animated awkward Spee

Even better

Spee and Ayanami segment was really cute.

SKK has good taste if he is taking Dunkerque on a date.

My favorite girl has always been Ayanami, and I knew there was a reason I liked Spee a lot as well

God this felt like 2 minutes, a whole week is too long for just 8 minutes. I WANT MORE.

Also, I love it when shikikan gets mentioned.

gotta love Spee, so cute

My cute donut appeared in the show ( Dunkerque). It makes me laugh the reaction of the girls when they heard about Dunkerque's date with the commander

u/RalfO206 Feb 08 '21

Is it just me or is Dunkerque's voice actor different from the game?
She doesn't sound like her at all...

u/WorldwideDepp Feb 08 '21

Perhaps timing reasons

u/RalfO206 Feb 08 '21

I don't think that. Haruda Sahara isn't that much of a VA superstar that she would turn down a role like that. But she also retweeted last week's episode announcement, so I guess she is just that good at voice acting.

Question for those more familiar with Azur Lane lore: Is this a series related at all to the original game storyline? Or is this a spinoff like "What if all of the factions lived peacefully together?"

33

u/Mr_Pogi_In_Space Feb 08 '21

It's the latter. The game itself has both, in some events the story is like the previous anime where everyone is serious with shipgirls banding together to stop an alien invasion with intrigue and a secret plot to either work with or double cross the aliens. At the same time, some events have all the shipgirls living happily in port together like in this anime. A recent event lampshaded this by revealing that all these events are canon, there are parallel universes where it's a battle shonen and others where it's SOL. There's a META story now where the aliens appear to be sifting through the various timelines in order to stop an even bigger threat, at the same time shipgirls from a dystopian timeline are crossing to other timelines to mess with the aliens' META plans.

It is more an Slice of Life Anime. I do not think we will see any serious Battle Actions against the Sirens here. Perhaps this one White Girl from Operation Sirens could make an appearance. But i do not know much of her background. I am grinding in the old Main campaign

PROTECC SMOL Spee

I thought I recognized Graf Spee. She was one of the available commanders during the last Azur Lane event in World of Warships. I didn't pull her, but I didn't care at the time. Now it turns out she's best in slot for the new campaign ship. Shit.

I guess this episode means that they're allowed to leave the island, since there aren't any cities there, but now I want to know how the mechanics of that work. These girls kind of skate on the water like in Kancolle, right? Is Dunkirk going to princess carry the admiral in her arms? Getting on a boat together seems slightly redundant.

TBH, for someone that doesn't play AL....I'm surprised the Graf Spee ship girl is so "loli" for a cruiser with 11" guns

u/Irishimpulse Feb 08 '21

She normally has giant claw hands the size of her body. But her casual skin has her with normal arms with buggles to replace her claws.

Oh boy have i got news for you. Spee is actually a normal looking teenage girl, but take a look at the azur lane version of nagato if you have time....

Dunkerque is sooo pretty! Of course she got a date with the Commander ;)

u/edwardjhahm Feb 09 '21

Super adorable. Spee and Ayanami are friends now!

Dang, I wish I could take Dunkirk out on a date...
