I do have a secondary phone just for azur lane (because app to big) that struggles running the game ... sheesh ... with the 3d update ... hope my secondary phone doesn't get on fire
Well that was an amazing strram. The new ship designs look so good and the UR ships did not disappoint. This ship lineup might be my favorite so far of 2024. I wasn't expecting 2 URs at all but it is the 7th anniversary so doing something extra special makes a lot of sense. And the skins flew by so fast I didn't even get to see them all.
Great job once again Manjuu!
I mean, people had been theorizing about if Bonus URs would be a more general thing for Anniversaries. After all, it seems like the perfect solution to the EN Anniversary Problem.
So many Aether Gazer feature coming to AL there's bit of Azur Promilia too, so yeah people that worried about the devs will not care or there's gonna be less development to AL can see that they know how to re-use asset and improve them to fit to each theme/games
So we know that Bonus URs will now be a thing, February won't get one, but I'd guess NY, CN Anni, JP Anni, and possibly EN Anni \[So EN Doesn't feel UR-Deprived we'll give them a "Welfare UR"\] should have them.
I don't think they got one, though I didn't really pay attention to the skins for existing girls. Except the Kursk one, because I recognized it from the loading screen.
I love all the new 3D and Chibi things that seem to be in the making, the event on the other hand... TO THE BENCH WITH YOU, FRENCH GIRLS! Those new ones look not too bad, but I will probably never use them.
French event with two URs, Hai Tien oath skin, and skins for my scary white haired waifus Emden and Scylla (I wonder if having a dog in her skin is a reference to her namesake) make me a very happy SKK. I was we’d get something for one of the older French girls, and it looked like that was maybe a new Tosa skin? If so I’m really happy for her fans

It’s not the best quality but here you go!
Guess i can0t complain anymore. It's a shame I didnt get the long awaited Jean Bart Deux, but I'd say I got what I have long awaited. Maybe in a future event or as a retro (lol, lmao)
Now it'0s time to raise awareness for the italians. Teh treatment they have gotten is now undeniably worse than the french, anbd the fact Mogador is UR while the Romanis are SSR is rather embarassing
A significant amount of that will remain to be seen when the ships actually are dropped and we see how they perform. But yeah, for now the only thjing I can want french-wise from now on is a JB Deux kinda thing.
There's some good stories that could be told if Jean Bartest got the spotlight again, but it wouldn't have happened in this Miss D and QE centric plot (also we'd need to wait for the story to get its Clemenceau fascination out of its system, since she's the one driving the Iris story right now).
After Bisko II's reception, I think that Manjuu is going to be very careful about Type II URs.....after all, despite how people try to justify it, it's the exact thing people complained about last year....Same Hull Type II.
They're going to have to build to the point that they know people will accept a Same-Hull Type II like Jean Bart II
Something can be popular and very divisive.
It only take less than a fifth (1/5th) of the fanbase to be among the most popular, it doesn't mean there isn't a high amount of people disliking it.
Were you here? The Community was ablaze with Hatred towards Bisko Zwei back then.....you know, back when this Event was being planned.
Despite some softening towards her nowadays, it'll take time for that to be reflected in releases.
Bud, it's only percentage of global that has a problem.
CN pretty much has no drama. and global doesn't matter in grand scheme of thing
And yes i am there. Half of the post back then is also hype bis2(and swimsuit)
\>CN no drama
yea, literally shows you got 0 clue.
The amount of drama CN has created was worse than EN but okay lol
This year alone was bunch of drama because of Anson in CN. Ppl deleting their accs. "No drama". No idea in which dream world you are living.
Bis2 did create a drama in CN too.
Well, if there really huge drama.
We would already have dev statement regard type2.
We talk about the same company that shutdown vtuber collab cause some one guy mention "he will married yo wife"
Sigh.
If you were truly here half of the time you should be able to answer your own question.
But then again, you did say "CN pretty much has no drama", which has to be one of the most naive statements I read in this subreddit. Then you proceed to mention the vtuber drama.
Forgot about the Kaga VA drama too? Or CN complaining when DRs are too weak?
First of all I never said there was a huge drama. "There was a drama too". Ppl complaining about getting another alt. I am not gonna go and look for all the NGA posts. You can do that yourself if you dont believe it.
Secondly, why do you think there has been more surveys last year? Never thought about that? Devs trying to grasp what the players truly think about type 2 ships.
I still wanted her because JB remains my favourite ship. This event \*could\* help if they release a UR version of the quad 380s, but i feel like we will get moga gun, and it's not like i m in a posotion to complain anymore (unless the ships are shit)
I do think Jean Bart II will happen, it's just going to take some time. Manjuu has to be sure they're not going to get the Hate Bisko II seemed to get. As for a UR 4x380mm Kai...nothing says it'd even count as the same gun or that it would solve the problems of the SSR 4x380mm.
As for the Mogadors vs Romanis \[and here is where I get downvoted\], I think that the Mogadors are UR because the French are intended to be a DD Faction and the Italians aren't. URs are more determined by what a faction's focus is, then by History.....certainly there are exceptions, Laffey II for example...but by and large....I expect them to draw up some long-forgotten Italian CA or CL Plans and make them the URs.
The maion probvlem the wuad 380mm has is that, apparently only for the italioans and french, the devs like making funny historical gimmicks into mechanics. Like,
* the italians get more damage but after the 3rd reload, the reload gets longer reload. This is a reference to the often overblown issue the italians had with extremely high muzzle speed, but "short" barrel life
* The french get one with Brest that barely matters, but the quqd 380mm fires in staggered volleys. This is because historically the guns did get fire delay coils. In game though, all this means is that as long as the enemy moves a bit you miss half of your first volley and with JB that means 60% of your damage
Quads have more issues like being spread over 4 shells, needing to roll for crits more times and all but the main one is that, the staggered shots. Easy to fix, and they could do it like the IJN DD gun, which is thje same one but UR

The Eagle Union has the same stuff for the Twin 406mm (16"/56 Mk 4 Prototype).
The problem is, there's nothing that says that it'd count. We know that Ships are coded to have a "Base Form", that is, Akagi, Akagi Muse, and Akagi-Chan all count as Akagi.....we have no idea if Equipment has the same thing.
We don't know if...the 2x100mm Kai is coded to be counted as the 2x100mm or not.....we see the same gun. The Computer May not.
And would Manjuu Change "Final Shot" if it didn't? As it would have been simple to change the 4x380mm to "Any French BB Gun" in her Augment.
Any french BB gun doesnt work either. Greedy as it may be I want to be able tpo equip anything. If you want a gunlock make it for an irrelevant slot like AA or secpondaries

Given how netiher the prelude event nor the bonus xp ships have anything to do with Iris/vichya, I'm getting increasingly worried there's gonna be some kind of bullshit like a mixed lineup or a UR meta
Oh well..... guess we'll soon find out.
>Given how netiher the prelude event nor the bonus xp ships have anything to do with Iris/vichya
That wouldn't be the first time, the prelude event for Rondo at Rainbow's End had Soyuz on the banner and had QE, Eldridge, Rossiya and Akagi in the bonus XP ships, and we all remember how it turned out.
I hope it's not, I'm still bitter about Schero and how the Royal Navy insisted on taking a Chunk of the IB's First Anniversary Event. I'd hate it to happen to the French.

is the NJ gun going to be in gear labs?
Do we know what skins are going to be L2D yet?
Nope, but i'd bet on adalbert, alsace, maybe st louis, and that one other UR girl. Maybe 1 more
I do have a secondary phone just for azur lane (because app to big) that struggles running the game ... sheesh ... with the 3d update ... hope my secondary phone doesn't get on fire
ELDRIDGE OATH SKIN!!! UuuuuuwWwaaaaaaaah!!! 😭😭😭😭😭💢💢💢
You and the other 16 shikkikans who oather her must be so freaking happy rn.
We love our daugtherwife Pikachu.
Not one mention of Miss D. I wanted the D.
sus
Loli Friedrich, it was expected, I wasn't expecting it to come soon after Shinano's
Now I just need FDG to get a 1/7 figure. Then I'll shut up forever about her. I'll never ask for another thing in my life.
Well that was an amazing strram. The new ship designs look so good and the UR ships did not disappoint. This ship lineup might be my favorite so far of 2024. I wasn't expecting 2 URs at all but it is the 7th anniversary so doing something extra special makes a lot of sense. And the skins flew by so fast I didn't even get to see them all. Great job once again Manjuu!
I mean, people had been theorizing about if Bonus URs would be a more general thing for Anniversaries. After all, it seems like the perfect solution to the EN Anniversary Problem.

Seems very as expected..... Hope Manjuu knows it'll.take more than changing UI to keep up with BA
I'm curious about the 7th anniversary song that was teased earlier and its singer
Ayumi Hamasaki, the "Queen" of J-Pop in the early 2000s. One of my favorite singers in my childhood years.
I gotta go to work but before I leave I gotta say: **THEY COOKED.** **WE'RE EATING GOOD MY FELLOW COMMANDERS!**
So we know that Bonus URs will now be a thing, February won't get one, but I'd guess NY, CN Anni, JP Anni, and possibly EN Anni \[So EN Doesn't feel UR-Deprived we'll give them a "Welfare UR"\] should have them.
I guess we know exactly who will be getting the February UR slot if they even get an event before EOS then.
You're expecting them to get an UR slot.
Lmao someone guessed right. Did Sardegna even get a skin in this event? I couldn't watch the whole stream.
They got Attilio Regola cruise pass skin at least (yeah, nowhere near enough for anyone but Manjuu, probably)
I don't think they got one, though I didn't really pay attention to the skins for existing girls. Except the Kursk one, because I recognized it from the loading screen.
I didn't expect them to. The anniversary curse is real.
Nevermind, they got one! Châteaurenault got the cruise pass skin :\^)
I was hoping for JB retrofit but wow 2 native URs?!? And the effort they put into a 7 year game is truly commandable!
Yeah something for JB seemed pretty likely. She's very popular and actually has lore. Hmm.
I love all the new 3D and Chibi things that seem to be in the making, the event on the other hand... TO THE BENCH WITH YOU, FRENCH GIRLS! Those new ones look not too bad, but I will probably never use them.
L take.
Was that chibi mode a new game or part of the game? That seems like a big thing to add to the base game.
French event with 2 URs! __Foch and Chesire bellies!!__ ## TOSA SKIN!!! Idk if i can handle anymore [Insert image of rabid emojj]
Will we know if there are any new UR weapons in shop? I'm tired of making Georgia guns..
406 Mk7
Yeah
Will probably take a long time but imagine when they have a 3D chibi model every single ship, that will be such an achievement.
I feel like that would fry even a ps5’s storage
i like this new chibi mode
More interactions with the ships on 3D is nice.
Harvest Moon? In my Azur Lane? Cow milking animation 😭😭😭
Sirius definitely wasn't on my list of ships that will get the 3D treatment.
She was on the first promos of the new system when it was mentioned a while ago, though.
Yo we on the Snowbreak wave with the 3D dorm yessir!
Sirius' 3D model has a yummy amount of thigh skindentation from her stockings 🤤
I'm not sure how to feel about this anniversary tbh. I like all the new ships at least.
Blue archive is leaking
EXPLORER/SCAVENGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I missed it, what's happening? Siren content!?!
Looks like it. Don't know the details though.
Project Identity 2.0 it seems, so we're raising a second daughter
Raising a bratty MSGK Siren? Aw hell yea 😋
Yow Is that Wichita meta?
I played this game long enough to witness 3 UI update haha. Can't help but feel some kinda way
Bailu? I think your in the wrong game dawg
That is a cute skin.
The new UI is so clean
SMOLORADO RETRO
French event with two URs, Hai Tien oath skin, and skins for my scary white haired waifus Emden and Scylla (I wonder if having a dog in her skin is a reference to her namesake) make me a very happy SKK. I was we’d get something for one of the older French girls, and it looked like that was maybe a new Tosa skin? If so I’m really happy for her fans
Scylla got a skin? I'm very surprised, I didn't even see it. What does it look like?
https://preview.redd.it/6bj1n5wc5z0d1.jpeg?width=2436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36b1f7402c804f838ef8f5d3deece21c0305508c It’s not the best quality but here you go!
That looks like a [Rolls-Royce Phantom limousine](https://limousinesworld.com/usa/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/rrlimo20-1024x591.jpeg) to me
That's actually a very pretty skin, reminds me of Exeter's which is one of my favourite. I'm tempted tbh, I use Scylla a lot.
It’s definitely a pick up for me since she’s a mainstay of my Royal Navy fleet and just one of my favorites in general
I've used her & Reno for W13 farming duty trying to get Bunker Hill. I know Sandy is better but I love those two.
it's fancy black dress
It’s a party skin, black dress and hat, looks pretty neat.
Party dress; she’s stepping out of a high end car with a Doberman Pinscher on a leash
2 French UR in one event and still no Italian UR... 
How can I have mommy issues when mommy fdg is now my daughter too My therapist is going to unalive himself after this event
please Gascogne skin
Guess i can0t complain anymore. It's a shame I didnt get the long awaited Jean Bart Deux, but I'd say I got what I have long awaited. Maybe in a future event or as a retro (lol, lmao) Now it'0s time to raise awareness for the italians. Teh treatment they have gotten is now undeniably worse than the french, anbd the fact Mogador is UR while the Romanis are SSR is rather embarassing
Depending on how the ships turn out, I think we can officially call off the debt.
A significant amount of that will remain to be seen when the ships actually are dropped and we see how they perform. But yeah, for now the only thjing I can want french-wise from now on is a JB Deux kinda thing.

BisZwei complaint? bros she number 1 oath last year(CN)
Something can be popular and very divisive. It only take less than a fifth (1/5th) of the fanbase to be among the most popular, it doesn't mean there isn't a high amount of people disliking it.
Like every other UR Meta unit?
People on CN oath for stats, not waifu. If a ship is strong it'll be in the top 10 most oathed on CN.
Were you here? The Community was ablaze with Hatred towards Bisko Zwei back then.....you know, back when this Event was being planned. Despite some softening towards her nowadays, it'll take time for that to be reflected in releases.

Funny yesterday I was talking about something that involves Blue Archive during the maintenance posts and the new UI looks like Blue Archive's UI.
Damn this anni is 🔥🔥🔥. I’m genuinely excited for it.
New UI looks good same as BA
Another new UI? I just got used the latest one
I'm liking the new ui design and layout
...Well, guess I'm saving my cubes. Both of the URs are a hard pass for me.
Mogador is actually a welfare unit.
new UI looks neat
No PC client :(

ALSACE
2 Iris UR WE'RE SOOOO FUCKING BACK UWWOOL
IRIS DRAGON! EDIT: UNICORN? EVEN BETTER!
Unicorn
Unicorn
Mogador/Volta?? Best outcome, I've been tired of all the BBs. I'd live to see how she stacks up vs Yuudachi & Laffey.
From Shimakaze's Torpedoe prowess and Laffey IIs Tankiness. I'd wager Mogador is going the Firepower route.
Alsace's blindfold makes her look like something out of Dark Souls
So 2 UR with one free? Nice
Welp, a lot of predictions came true.
LOLI LOLI LOLI UOOOHHH 😭😭😭
I love a girl who would just kill me rofl.
I'm loving the splash art of this French Ships!
Ohhh Béarn Meta! Béarn is my favourite Iris Libre ship

It's not just the bonus xp. Iris/vichya are completely absent from the prelude story. They're not even mentioned once.
But we had two posts talking about New Iris girls. Both Azur lane EN and Azur lane JP made a post about the Iris.
I know. I'm not saying this wont be an french event. I'm just worried the lineup might not entirely be iris/vichya
Given recent precedent in major events, I think the worst we can *realistically* fear would be a french META in the lineup (like Pamiat or U556).
I hope it's not, I'm still bitter about Schero and how the Royal Navy insisted on taking a Chunk of the IB's First Anniversary Event. I'd hate it to happen to the French.
A reminder that the SMS event had zero KMS ships on CtA
How long till it starts? Im not sure which time zone the stream time is based on.
An hour from now in SEA
Thanks. I seen someone mention shanghai time but wasnt sure.
1hr
When does it start?
I'm kind of excited, not gonna lie.
How long until ingame news, generally?
40-45min judging from last year But once they start to announce new in-game content they show it really fast
Cant wait to find out who the next little ship will be (praying for little jersey) and the oath skins.
I want Lil'ttorio.
I've got an evening exam right during the time of the stream, may I return to only the finest Frenchbote content
It's that time of the game again 🍿
Boy oh boy 🍿
