Azur Lane is a 2019 anime series that came to life as an adaptation of a mobile game with the same title. The show takes place in an alternate world where humanity is at war with an alien race known as the Sirens. In this world, naval vessels have been sentient beings, serving as the guardians of humanity led by the strongest of them all, the battleship named Enterprise.

The story follows a group of shipgirls who are sent to a secret base located in the sea to master their skills and eventually fight the Sirens. The protagonist of the show is a shipgirl known as Javelin, who is a destroyer-class vessel with an intense passion for serving her country. Javelin is joined by a group of other girls, including Ayanami, Laffey, and Z23, who are similarly skilled in combat and together create a formidable team.

Azur Lane comes with an interesting concept where the characters are based on World War II warships, and each personifies the ship they represent, offering them their unique personalities and attitudes. Although the shipgirls' depiction is cute and charming, the show never lets the audience forget the harsh realities of war, which gives it a balance between light-heartedness and seriousness.

The first episode of Azur Lane, which aired on 3rd October 2019 on BS11, presents a fantastic blend of action, humor, and elegant animation. The starting scene is filled with chaos, exhibiting an intimidating battle between ships and the Sirens, which is visually stunning. The CG effects for the ships blend immaculately with the traditional animation, offering a beautiful balance. The opening theme song of the show is catchy and lively, fitting perfectly with the show's vibrant tone.

The voice acting in Azur Lane is also commendable. The lead character, Javelin, is voiced by Mai Nakahara, who delivers a compelling performance, bringing the character's persona to life with her empathetic voice. Another voice actor worth mentioning is Yui Ishikawa, who plays the role of Z23. Ishikawa's voice seamlessly personifies Z23's character, who is seen as stubborn but ultimately caring.

The show is undoubtedly entertaining, especially the interactions between the characters which can sometimes be comedic. The character designs are visually appealing, adding to the cuteness of the show. The art style blends perfectly with the color palette, making the scenes pop out of the screen. Furthermore, the perfect timing of the jokes and the show's music score make it an entertaining experience worth watching.

One of the noteworthy aspects of Azur Lane is the beautiful camaraderie between the characters. The bond between the girls is a particular highlight of the show, offering an emotional depth that makes the characters feel more relatable. The characters have their individuality, but they share common goals that create a beautiful unity between them. The interaction between the shipgirls are not just funny, but they also offer a sense of heartwarming harmony.

In conclusion, Azur Lane is an exciting anime series that captures the attention of its audience from the start. With its unique take on warships and characters, as well as its visually breathtaking animation, the show is a must-see. From light-hearted humor to heart-wrenching moments, the show offers everything balanced nicely, making it a perfect blend of action, humor, and emotion. The voice acting is top-notch, the plot is gripping and engaging, the animation is stunning, and the character development is commendable. Azur Lane is an anime that promises an excellent watch for fans of action, sci-fi, and fantasy genres.
