![]() ![]() Third, the enemies, the Abyssal Fleet and the Sirens, both came out of nowhere and take over the seas. Second, how they are geared out for combat is nearly identical, though the girls of KanColle don't have the luxury of using the actual ship they are named after. First, the shows are filled with cute girls whose ages and proportions are directly related to the size of the ship they embody. We have a lot of direct similarities between Azur Lane and KanColle. We get to watch Fubuki's growth as we watch the girls of the fleet glide across the seas to seek out and destroy the great threat of humanity, the Abyssal Fleet. She is a very raw recruit that needs a lot of intense training to go from liability to combat-capable. The events of KanColle focus on Fubuki, a destroyer who arrives to join her destroyer squadron. Kanmusu wear special rigging suited for their class of ship: destroyer, cruiser, battleship, or aircraft carrier, all from the early 20th century. The greatest hope humanity comes in the form of the Kanmusu, girls who possess the spirits of old warships. The "deep Sea Fleet" or "Abyssal Fleet" has taken over the world's oceans, cutting off global trade and laying waste to the conventional naval fleets of the time. ![]() ![]() We know Azur Lane isn't an entirely original concept and have come up with some moe, we mean more, adventure with a similar take on war and its weapons. Azur Lane allows us to ogle some anthropomorphized weapons of war as young women who are struggling to reconcile their roles as tools with their growing humanity. The beginning of the story even starts with a familiar historical homage as the Sakura Empire launches a sneak attack on the Eagle Union and Royal Navy as they lay anchored in a glistening tropical harbor. We see famous ships from history take to the open seas like destroyers Laffey and Javelin, battleships Akagi and Nagato, and aircraft carriers like Enterprise. Yet with peace comes cracks in the alliance pitting the Eagle Union and Royal Navy against the Sakura Empire and Iron Blood. The Azur Lane alliance, built from the world's strongest navies, succeeds in its goal of mitigating the damage done by the Sirens. A desperate world develops a new way to fight, by using young women who are the embodiment of warships to take back the seas. The seafaring magi-mechanical monstrosities stalled commerce and forced the world back from its shorelines. The seas were stolen from humanity with the rise of the Siren. ![]()
