The disrespect Z23 gets is unacceptable lmao.

>Javelin, Laffey, Ayanami, and...Unicorn?
No hate I like Unicorn but you can't disrespect Z23 like that. She is one of the starter ships (for some regions) after all.

Can't wait for Enterprise to say Owari Da!



2nd anniversary celebration in Japan.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

Japan doesn't know she exists apparently. I'm surprised she's even in the PV.

She's not a starter ship in JP and apparently a lot of starter ship fanart leave her out.

But that scene was disrespectful. She should not have been replaced by Unicorn. She should have been in the scene with the three others.
Very sad.

Maybe there's some plot related reason why she can't be with em in that scene or maybe I am just hopnig poor Niimi doesn't get shafted again

I love how they did the character designs justice. The fox sisters look so stunning, wow! All the starter destroyers look adorable.

The animation is also fluid. I thought this would be a budget adaptation, but looks like I'm wrong.

Really hyped for this even though I don't play the game anymore.
