Official Report

The popular smartphone application game "Azur Lane" (hereafter referred to as "Azur Lane"), in which players train and organize anthropomorphic girls from ships around the world to fight, has become a TV animation with over 6 million registered users!
To commemorate the broadcast of the TV animation "Azur Lane," "Azur Lane" will appear in the evening of October 3 (Thu.), the day of the broadcast, at the Savonius Square in front of Akihabara UDX in Tokyo. If you can knock down all 10 pins, you will be entered into a raffle to win rare goods such as posters signed by the cast.

Tatsuma Sugawara of the muscle entertainment group "Macho 29," who was in charge of guiding the audience through the event, hosted the talk show, which was attended by Nozomi Yamane (Javelin) and Maria Naganawa (Raffy), the first "initial ship" selected in the original game, who appeared on stage.

First, the work was introduced again as it was just before the airing of the game, followed by the introduction of the characters they played. Ms. Naganawa said that she was interested in Raffy because she is fast-paced and fluffy, and her shoulders are a bit bare. Yamane-san, on the other hand, said that Javelin is always an energetic honor student, but in the anime, she has a hood on her costume and you can see a different side to her than in the game.

She also explained that Ayanami, played by Daichiha, who serves as "propaganda captain" along with Javelin Laffey, has a very strong and mysterious side, and is in conflict with the two because they are in different camps.

The Enterprise, played by Yui Ishikawa, who also appears in the key visual and is the center of the story, is called the "Commander of the Order of Merit" and is very strong and has been very active since the first episode. Belfast, who also appears in the key visual, seems to be interested in her, and the relationship between the two should be checked out.

Next, he introduced the highlights of the anime. Ms. Yamane said to pay attention to the gap between the cuteness and coolness of the ships and the way they fight, and Ms. Naganawa said that many characters appear in each episode, so please look for many of them.

Finally, the first pitch was thrown by the two. Ms. Yamane, who threw the first pitch, knocked down eight, and posed a gut-punch. Mr. Naganawa, who was advised by Mr. Yamane, got 7, but he seemed to think he could do better. ...... After throwing the ball, the two enjoyed reviewing the test together.

At the end of the talk show, he said to the assembled fans, "I am happy to be able to watch the "Azur Lane" anime with you and share its contents with you. I think people who have not played the game will also enjoy it, and if you are interested in the story and the ships after watching the anime, please play the game.

After the two left the stage, a bowling tournament was started by the audience, and people on the street stopped to play the game, which was very exciting.

The TV animation "Azur Lane" is currently airing on TOKYO MX and other stations!

<Worldview>.
The story takes place on a blue planet, unknown to us, where 71% of the earth's surface is covered with water.
The Sirens, a deformed enemy from another world, suddenly appear. To counter the overwhelming power of this foreign enemy, mankind has formed a global alliance called "Azur Lane," centered on four major camps.

Union" that respects freedom
Royal," which values glory
Iron-Blooded," which praises unity
Shigesakura," which honors the bonds that bind us together

Using the "Cube," the collective wisdom of these people, the girls were born with the power of warships of steel.
Sometimes heroic, sometimes beautiful, sometimes dynamic, they overcame the barriers between the different camps, and their activities stopped the invasion of the Sirens, and their power seemed to have been almost completely defeated.

However, whether it was because of the difference in philosophy as to whether the Sirens' power should be used or not, or perhaps it was because of their thoughts as human beings, rather than as Funé, the two groups were unable to come to an agreement.
Some of the forces represented by "Shigesakura" and "Tekketsu" broke away from "Azur Lane" and started activities as "Red Axis.

In order to monitor the movement of "Red Axis", "Azur Lane" established a new base in the middle of the ocean and gathered its forces.
The situation is in a state of crisis. No one knows the fate of the girls yet. ......

＜Introduction
Blessed are the blue seas!

The girls of "Azur Lane" are..,
The girls of "Azur Lane" have defeated the great offensive of the mysterious enemy "Sirens" who came from outside the world.
However, the battle will always be the same.
Just as in the past when mankind fought for supremacy over the seas, "Azur Lane" and "Red Axis" were at odds with each other due to differences in ideology.
And time passed...
