Azur Lane is another simulation game that shares the same concepts as Kancolle. Some people compare it against Kancolle because of that, but IMO it is an original game.

For example, Kancolle has no room for you to customize (like Idolmaster, for example), it has no auto-battle, the battles are different (psuedo-bullet hell vs RNG-run tree-branching), there is live 2D and there are three factions that the shipfus can come from. Plus you cannot sink anybody forever. There are no blocking game-mechanics that require external help to make the game playable (*looks at LoS*), so it is quite newbie-friendly.

IJN is the only faction that has animal-ears, so not the whole game is like that.

It seems to be gaining traction in Japan. It has actual Japanese servers, it won some app award and there were actual advertisements at Akihabara (while I was there). The voiceovers (if implemented) are in Japanese.

A manifesto of pure unadulterated bullshit. Only one way to find out innit? She's also already very powerful (in terms of FP), even though she can still get rekt by bosses. But yet she's supposed to be part of the top-tier BBs that the player can have...

So part of me has this feeling that they'll either have to adjust game mechanics to make a more powerful Yamato class more viable... or this will be a dud remodel - just for those who have her as their waifu.
