After a semi-accidental hiatus, diving back into Rule 5 posts, we encounter Ägir, whose rigging has a mind of its own, like a mischievous pet. With a design inspired by proposed battlecruisers, equipped to say, “Hope your crew is good swimmers” from miles away.
Meet Cheshire, the purrfect shipgirl/catgirl combo. Her plushie’s havoc on shelves earns her a dedicated Rule 5 post. Maid, catgirl, tea brewer, and cruiser-class confusion—she’s a feline force to be reckoned with. Because who cares about naval history when there’s a catgirl in the fleet?
Meet Light Cruiser Yat Sen, the ship that refused to stay sunk. Sunk in 1937, the Japanese thought, “Let’s salvage it, add some bells and whistles, and voila – a training ship!” Yat Sen: the shipgirl who turned sinking into a career move. Talk about resilience on the high seas!
Meet Belfast, the Royal Navy’s tea-brewing maestro and Head Maid extraordinaire. Juggling the quirks of the Royal Maid Corps is no cakewalk, especially with personalities that could rival a sitcom cast. She’s the real MVP, and her legacy sails smoothly, unlike some wartime refits. Cheers to Belfast, the unsinkable maid!
Meet USS Guam, the Azur Lane sensation! In the real world, she’s a cruiser killer with a 22-mile gun range. But in 2023, she’s just a bunny girl in a battleship. Cheers to an unexpected career change! Happy New Year!
Behold the ghost of HMS Neptune! An unrealized dream of Britain’s WWII efforts, she now sails the virtual seas in Azur Lane as a bossy, trident-wielding maid. Her blueprint suggests a monstrous artillery, but alas, post-war austerity sank her.
Let’s raise a glass for HMS Exeter, the final and overlooked York-class heavy cruiser of the Royal Navy. Sporting seaplanes and a battery of guns, this grand dame battled German raiders in WWII, survived monumental damage, and made waves in Azur Lane as a nobly behaved second-born.
Amidst the shopping frenzy, Azur Lane developers launch a crossover event with Senran Kagura. Featuring ninjas, school girls, and a flood of DLC outfits this crossover surely knows how to win player’s hearts and wallets!
Azur Lane introduces the Mary Celeste, the ocean’s poster child for disastrous voyages, now the history’s coolest ghost ship. A cursed past, crew mysteries, and a peculiar costume, she defies reason but keeps the game’s charm afloat.
