@@gokbay3057 I don’t think I have a planned schedule as of now. It’ll be more in rotation with the other games that I also react to, so occasional is the best way to describe it. 😅 I have a list of games and videos that I need to react to, so I go by that order!
@@Trailblazer_Ririna Thanks for answering. Completely understandable that you have a lot else to do. I wasn't asking for AL videos to get more frequent anyway, just curious if there might be more set schedule or whether it would be more random. (Edit: And now having fully watched the video I see that you have addressed the the schedule being uncertain in it already so I guess I didn't need to ask to begin with. Still, thanks for answering anyway.)
So trailblazer Ririna Aurora Noctis which ran from July 23th 2020 to 19th of August 2020 was the last Royal Navy event before Pledge of the Radiant Court ran from the 26th of May to the 15th of June 2022 with the gap of 1 year, 9 months and 1 week between Aurora Noctis and Pledge of the Radiant Court which was so long that fans got very upset at the Royal Navy being ignored for that long the developers had to announce that an HMS event would be coming
Fun fact about the animation in the PV: Azur Lane had a 12 episodes anime with mixed review (it even rumored the staff sabotaged it), and Yostar, the publisher, decided to make their own animation studio, Yostar Pictures. Since then, games that Yostar published started using animation in some of the trailers and made their own anime. In total Azur Lane have 2 anime series, 2 episodes OVA
Yostar pictures also became an official 3rd party animation studio. They are behind anime such as Sentai Daishikkaku (go go loser ranger), Arknights and Blue Archive.
@@Trailblazer_Ririna It's because the studio they contracted had ties to Kadokawa, who own Kantai Collection, AL's direct competition. So when the Anime had quality that declined more and more and we even had, iirc, delays for the last few episodes, that rumour started that there was sabotage. I think there was also some tweets or something supposedly from an employee at that studio bragging about it. That said, the story was bare-bones basic anyway, but the anime looking like an inconsistent trashheap towards the end just really didn't help it.
@@Trailblazer_Ririna Allegedly but it make sense. They literally delay the last 2 episode for 2 months if I remember and not for a good reason like 86 part 2. They literally did the barebone animation. Plus the twit and all.
In terms of the skins, there are 3 types. The simple ones that are just the basic still arts, dynamic, and full live2D. Dynamic is more simple animated live2D without any or minimal special interactivity. The way you model is animated standing still is pretty close of what to expect. Likewise, more expensive than a basic skin, but less than a full live2D. All UR ships also have their base skins as a dynamic skin. A full live2d has more animations, and are more interactive. They actually have their eyes/head move and follow your finger as you drag it across the screen. Some more recent ones now also include secret animations and forms that require a specific set of interactions to view. Likewise, the most expensive. The 3 starter ships also happen to have a full live2D option in their base skins. Although it is not as elaborate as modern ones.
the lore of AL is a rabbit hole, with most of the actual plot coming from event stories and the story chapters just following reenactments of battles between IJN and US during WW2.
Eagle is the 2nd Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Eagle, who was converted from a Chilean super dreadnought battleship, the Almirante Cochraine who was not suppose to serve in WW2 as she was due to be replaced Perseus is a Colossus class light aircraft carrier who was converted into a maintenance carrier during construction Howe is the 4th King George 5 class battleship Valiant is the 3rd Queen Elizabeth class battleship which the Queen Elizabeth the second's husband served on Hermione is a Dido class light cruiser Icarus is an I-class destroyer
Yes listen to the music also! It's exquisite! About the oath skins you can get them from day 1 (I'm a day one player), it's just they only added previews of them in later pv videos. Also the skins that say L2D (live 2d) are the ones that move but also they added "anim" (animated) skins which are also cheaper later on. The economy in the game is very generous as long as you do your dailies. They also give free skins very often and doing dailies won't take more than 5 minutes. The skins move the game because they aren't that expensive and there are plenty. The community is very supportive because they didn't shy away from sexy and a bit spicy skins imo.
@@Trailblazer_Ririna The game starts you with 1 oath ring. Though to get an oath skin you would need to oath a character with one such skin (likely your starter if it is to happen day one) and also get it to 100 affinity. I am sure it is possible but probably requires a bit of grinding. Though even with a more casual pace should be achievable in a month or two.
15:24 Shinano, after all this time, is one of the best aircraft carriers in the game. This sleepy fox, in my subjective opinion, has the best voice and design from the Sakura Empire faction
Yes, your outfit fits for the Sakura Empire theme, 14:20 just add some riggings! So long since the Dreamwaker's Butterfly event, I can't believe it was around 2020. The way Azur Lane monetizes the game around skins is one of the reasons I keep playing it, they also get a lot of money from merchandise and oath rings, and they have been adding more things like a season pass. They get some of the gacha itself but Azur Lane is a collector, so it is the reason why the rates are high in comparison to other games. Universe in Unison event is one of my favorites, it made my idol fan feel joy and the music and ost has been getting better with each update!
Such a blast from the past to watch those trailers again. Thanks for digging them out and bringing them to my attention. There are quite a few music videos for some events and anniversaries with proper songs that you could check out as well. What you're made of, Signal, Standing by you, Feelin' it all, Ain't backing down, Under the party lights. Not sure if I got them all, but you get the idea.
There were also four early music videos that were kind of character songs. Oath with Belfast, My Night with Unicorn, Wishness with starters and Phantom 9 with Enterprise (The official channel has a music video playlist). One could also add San Diego's Watashi wa namba wan (the video title is Azur Lane San Diego Super Stage, it is not in the music videos playlist as it was technically the reveal/trailer of an in game decoration item), oh also Cleveland's 12 battle star (also not in the music video playlist). (Standing by you is also not in the music videos playlist but in the 3rd anniversarry playlist) (One could also consider the songs made for the idol/muse events as well but they aren't actually available in the official channel.)
A lot of the designs at least I've seen being taken from community artists, but I don't know for sure if it was based off them or they drew the art from the designs. Either way a lot of the loading screens has the artists works in game which is really cool that Yostar works with artists to add them into the game. I love how your outfit fits the Sakura Nation which is so cool! They recently released a UR (Ultra Rare) of a unit recently and she is one of my favorites named Amagi. Enjoyed your reaction to these and looking forward to more! 😄
@@Doctor_Yiggles Some oath skins are black wedding dresses (mostly Ironblood (German) but also Vampire and Noshiro (who has a western style but black oath skin). And some Sakura Empire and Dragon Empery (Japan and China respectively) ships do have their own traditional wedding outfits instead of western style dresses. Though Sakura ones are still usually mostly white. Empery ones are more red though (HMS Aurora also has a red Empery/Chinese style oath skin).
@@gokbay3057 Oh ya there are more variety. I suppose I've only gotten Eagle Union & Royal Navy. I did have Prinz Eugen's who had a mostly white colored, so it was my bad on making assumptions. Thanks for the clarification and hope she sees your reply.
Still remember music and characters from earlier parts of this video. Played Azur Lane for at least a year, before Arknights fully swallowed my heart and my soul. Yorktown is best girl!
It feels nostalgic because thou they are fictional characters, they represent something real. Real ships, real people live and die on them. The skins come in different savors or themes, in general you have the Faction theme, for example, Royal Navy is Maids and Victorian Knights, Eagle Union is Uniforms, Casual and Sports, Sakura Empire are Mikos and Fluff but some have horns XD, Iron Blood are Edgy with mechanical sea monsters motive. Then you have the event theme and if that event is on a season, like summer, beach, swimsuit etc, then the skins will rotate on those themes, for example anniversary party gala dress, or Chinese new year, the event pvs are fine, thoy you will see lots of repetition, in general AL will post like 3 or 4 Pv of the same event. I suggest you see the Anniversary videos, each year in each server, the game release a special video, (musical, lore, memes, animations) to celebrate, i think they are a better way to enjoy the game from a casual pov. XD Then you can go event by event pvs XD. btw With your outfit you probably be a Light Carrier or a Light crusier. XD
Even their crew are represented. Some ships like Juneau even have a skin with five swans on it, representing the five Sullivan brothers who died onboard her as she sunk, making the US Navy implement the Sole survivor policy exempting one son of the family to be exempt from being drafted into the US military whether in peace or war-time.
I'll show some clips in the review video that I'll make later down the line! Will def be checking it out in the future once I react to a good chunk of the videos (so that it'll be less spoilers for myself)!
@@avsbes98 ooo, that’s good to know! Well, if there is one thing that’s good (or bad) about me, it is the fact that I forgot things very quickly! So maybe it won’t be too bad of a problem. 🥲
6:13 That's the Swimsuit Skin of the Iron Blood (German) Destroyer Z23 (called Nimi by the community) - Yeah she's a cuite and she is one of the possible starter ships on the global server.
6:38 There are multiple levels so to speak. There's a lot of 2D, some "Dynamic" with a bit of movement etc and some L2D that also (nowadays) have some interactions that go beyond simple voicelines. Though of course the more complex the skin the more you pay for it.
if your checking out Lore i suggest Hawk2Zero. Hes a huge lore guy for Azur Lane and even does the character storys. As for the cats there called Meowficers and are kinda robots maybe. Scam cat Akashi cant really be trusted since she paints the teck boxes to look like there higher value boxes.
@@Trailblazer_Ririna If you want to know more you can check out their anime, they got explain why the Sakura Empire is working together with the Sirens.
@@Trailblazer_Ririna Sakura has an internal divide kind of thing going on with factions within the nation having different opinions on the whole working with Sirens thing.
I'm back ;) Yes your cloths look absolutely great ^^ You like Shinano and Kaga so we can be friends ^^ Don't worry I remember good old anime times(I old enough to remember when first RTS was released -_- ). Music will bless your ears ^^ See you in next video ^^
I had mentioned that you had missed Empyreal Tragicomedy and Return of the Wargod pvs in the last video. Now that I look back Solomon Ranger is missing as well. For this video animated pv for Skybound Oratorio was skipped (I am guessing you are using some sort of custom playlist since it has both normal pvs and animated pvs while the official Azur Lane channel has an official trailers playlist of 90 videos and an animation trailers playlist of 28 videos. It might be that they are simply shifted to the end accidentally rather than full not included as well in the case of a custom mixed playlist like that). Just pointing out if you ever wanted to go back for completionist reasons. 7:48 That girl with the glasses was USS Shangri-la. I had originally written an explanation of the PR ships but my comment accdentally deleted before I posted it and I see that another person has explained it by now so I will not attempt to rewrite it. Liking silver hair is funny to me because of a character in the story/lore. To say it simply and without spoilers, they like white/silver hair a lot as well. (None of the outfits in the banquet video are oath outfits btw) 19:42 Universe in Unison was one of the idol/muse events, so it reminding you of Love Live is not surprising. It being called muse and use of the μ symbol makes it a pretty open reference to Love Live actually (μ's pronounced muses being the original band/idol group in Love Live). (Ironically Azur Lane has had a collab with Idolm@ster before (it was actually somewhat controversial as you couldn't oath the collab characters. The mechanic is retanied but the marriage symbolism is replaced with a "Tiara of Friendship"))
Yep, I don't think I have it in the order of what they intended. Just rather, it's in the order of what was posted (from old to most recent) on the official channel since I created the playlist myself and manually added that way, so if anything, those that are missing will be reacted to at the very very end once I'm done with my current playlist. Interesting that AL had a collab with Idolm@aster though! I would've expected Love Live instead!
@@Trailblazer_Ririna I also checked the official channel itself (and have just noticed a mistake. You have indeed reacted to the Skybound Oratorio's animation pv as well in this video) as for the previous ones, I think what made you miss the previous three (two of which are less than a minute long) are the fact that the videos do not have event or pv in their titles despite being event pvs and being in the official trailers playlist. As for Idolm@ster rather than Love Live, perhaps there might be some sort of owner thing with Yostar/Manjuu getting along better with the formers members but I speculate that they might have went with Idolm@ster because it is a game while Love Live is an anime. Most other collabs are with games as well (and the Kizuna Ai and Hololive ones would have included said vtubers promoting Azur Lane on stream (well, Kizuna Ai mostly did videos rather than streams)). Perhaps the company considers game collabs to be likelier to bring new customers than anime collabs?
If u gonna react to lore and story recap hawk2zero is our lore guy, also there is gonna be a lot to react to considering his video that covers a lot of the initial lore is like 3 hours lol and it’s not even up to date to corrent events
@@Trailblazer_Ririna The comics are essentially a single panel each and very much slice of life. So could be considered spoiler free I think (even the event pvs probably have more actual story stuff in them than those comics).
@@Trailblazer_Ririna not spoiler tho, just simple 1panel ones. the game has ASMR collections but you need to buy it via tickets that only collected in monthly sign in.
I not even that interested that much about past world wars and factions before Azurlane. Now my YT algorithm is full of war, vtuber and world economics.
Oath Dresses always has an indicator for them it's Either the Ship Girl is holding a Flower Boquet or have a Veil Headdress and they always announce it during or near June Those shown on 16:40 Are "Party Dress"
Unsure if you can see it in the PVs but eventually the skins, get more elaborate, as in live2d and you can click on parts of the screen for more animations. those race queens were static before they started upping their skin game. but uh, eventually the skins start, uh, responding to your touch sort of horny. this is still early on.
Haha eventuallyyyyyy!!! I find that watching all of these trailers and PVs and listening to the music before playing the game makes it a lot more fun experience than if I only checked out a few. XD
There are certain events in the game where it is based on real life events during WWII, for example "Scherzo of Iron and Blood" Is based on Operation Rheinübung "Iris of Light and Dark" - Operation Torch "Aurora Noctis" - Arctic Convoys
Fun Fact - the sales from Azur Lane's Skin revenue is massive enough to fun the new upcoming game from Yostar named "Azur Promilia" Announced this year

It really is immaculate! Can’t wait to check out more of the character designs in the future PVs~ hehe
In terms of the skins, there are 3 types. The simple ones that are just the basic still arts, dynamic, and full live2D.

It does sound very fair out of all the ones I've seen so far!
Is Part 3 still in Production?
Yes listen to the music also! It's exquisite! About the oath skins you can get them from day 1 (I'm a day one player), it's just they only added previews of them in later pv videos. Also the skins that say L2D (live 2d) are the ones that move but also they added "anim" (animated) skins which are also cheaper later on.

@@Trailblazer_Ririna The game starts you with 1 oath ring. Though to get an oath skin you would need to oath a character with one such skin (likely your starter if it is to happen day one) and also get it to 100 affinity.

Such a blast from the past to watch those trailers again. Thanks for digging them out and bringing them to my attention. There are quite a few music videos for some events and anniversaries with proper songs that you could check out as well. What you're made of, Signal, Standing by you, Feelin' it all, Ain't backing down, Under the party lights. Not sure if I got them all, but you get the idea.
I shall add those to my list! Thank you for the suggestions~

Liking silver hair is funny to me because of a character in the story/lore. To say it simply and without spoilers, they like white/silver hair a lot as well. (None of the outfits in the banquet video are oath outfits btw)
19:42 Universe in Unison was one of the idol/muse events, so it reminding you of Love Live is not surprising. It being called muse and use of the μ symbol makes it a pretty open reference to Love Live actually (μ's pronounced muses being the original band/idol group in Love Live). (Ironically Azur Lane has had a collab with Idolm@ster before (it was actually somewhat controversial as you couldn't oath the collab characters. The mechanic is retanied but the marriage symbolism is replaced with a "Tiara of Friendship"))
Yep, I don't think I have it in the order of what they intended. Just rather, it's in the order of what was posted (from old to most recent) on the official channel since I created the playlist myself and manually added that way, so if anything, those that are missing will be reacted to at the very very end once I'm done with my current playlist.
Interesting that AL had a collab with Idolm@aster though! I would've expected Love Live instead!
@@Trailblazer_Ririna I also checked the official channel itself (and have just noticed a mistake. You have indeed reacted to the Skybound Oratorio's animation pv as well in this video) as for the previous ones, I think what made you miss the previous three (two of which are less than a minute long) are the fact that the videos do not have event or pv in their titles despite being event pvs and being in the official trailers playlist.
As for Idolm@ster rather than Love Live, perhaps there might be some sort of owner thing with Yostar/Manjuu getting along better with the formers members but I speculate that they might have went with Idolm@ster because it is a game while Love Live is an anime. Most other collabs are with games as well (and the Kizuna Ai and Hololive ones would have included said vtubers promoting Azur Lane on stream (well, Kizuna Ai mostly did videos rather than streams)). Perhaps the company considers game collabs to be likelier to bring new customers than anime collabs?
fun fact, if Azur Lane didn´t do well as a gacha, Manjuu was gonna turn it into an Eroge
Lmaooooooo at least, they have a backup plan if anything! XD
If u gonna react to lore and story recap hawk2zero is our lore guy, also there is gonna be a lot to react to considering his video that covers a lot of the initial lore is like 3 hours lol and it’s not even up to date to corrent events
Ooo, thank you! I believe I have him written down on my list (for after I play the game for the first time and create a review video for it)~
welp, there's a jukebox in the game where you can listen to the music themes of some characters. you can read some short comics there
Ooo, that's nice! Are the short comics spoiler free or is it more like a slice of life thing?
@@Trailblazer_Ririna The comics are essentially a single panel each and very much slice of life. So could be considered spoiler free I think (even the event pvs probably have more actual story stuff in them than those comics).
@@Trailblazer_Ririna not spoiler tho, just simple 1panel ones.
the game has ASMR collections but you need to buy it via tickets that only collected in monthly sign in.
I not even that interested that much about past world wars and factions before Azurlane. Now my YT algorithm is full of war, vtuber and world economics.
O_O That's a wild combo to have as an algo! haha
Oath Dresses always has an indicator for them it's Either the Ship Girl is holding a Flower Boquet or have a Veil Headdress and they always announce it during or near June
Those shown on 16:40 Are "Party Dress"
Ohhh, so that's the difference between the Oath ones and the Party Dresses! Thank you for the clarification!
Yooooo we got a new ship...
Its the newest battleship IJN Ririna 🔥🔥🔥
LOLOL If only! haha
Unsure if you can see it in the PVs but eventually the skins, get more elaborate, as in live2d and you can click on parts of the screen for more animations.
those race queens were static before they started upping their skin game. but uh, eventually the skins start, uh, responding to your touch sort of horny. this is still early on.
Ohhh, I mean that makes sense. Such functionality is probably why it's known for its fan service! haha
Play it human PLAY IT!!!. Also there is still more trailers to go. You could make a part three.
Haha eventuallyyyyyy!!! I find that watching all of these trailers and PVs and listening to the music before playing the game makes it a lot more fun experience than if I only checked out a few. XD
There are certain events in the game where it is based on real life events during WWII, for example
"Scherzo of Iron and Blood" Is based on Operation Rheinübung
"Iris of Light and Dark" - Operation Torch
"Aurora Noctis" - Arctic Convoys
Fun Fact - the sales from Azur Lane's Skin revenue is massive enough to fun the new upcoming game from Yostar named "Azur Promilia" Announced this year
Ooo, I think I actually reacted to Azur Promilia before!
