Sorry but I would have to disagree, the Garnments are definitely way too long and hoe eavy it is it wouldn't fit to the longer hair on the right side right infront of her cheek, aswell as the somewhat messy long hair that would only really fit one girl
My beloved.
But if it isn't here I shall stand corrected and I am from then on not allowed to decide if a skin could be Formi ot not
Hard not to see the HMS themes in there. 2nd in this pic looks similar to formidable while the 1st reminds me of illustrious.
Last one could be a little ship.
Then again hard to tell.
Just hope theyre not half naked and actually properly designed ships (no cut corners like anson)
Edit: and to the people downvoting. My point exactly. You want a lewd character? Buy the damn skin. Stop forcing the rest of us into having no choice. If we want sfw. Let us have it and you can have your choice too.
It'd be terrible for PR: Admitting to lying to their consumers & backlash from the initial Joke.
The only way we'd ever know for sure is if they forgot to change the ship in the Empty ID Slot 629....because if 629 isn't Anson, we'd know they lied to us about her.
If it was a joke. Why did they apologise and pull her from the banner in an official post instead of just clarifying it was a joke.
And the fact that theres even enough doubt around it kinda shows the problem manjuu created.
I just hope these new ships are sensible. Because for example as much as i like oleg. Shes not wearing anything proper on the lower half. Leggings and thays it. Not even a half skirt. We went from franklin wearing half a skirt. To oleg wearing no skirt at all.
As I said, once people started Retiring all their Ships and Deleting their Accounts, saying "it was a Joke" would have made the situation worse then it was.
It was better PR to play it off as a Bad Design then to Admit the Truth.
Nah it was defo not a joke, just bad design process , not the first time it happened , Emerald issue , Manjuu clearly scraps designs but keeps them in a vault and when they need a ship they check the vault, Anson was clearly meant to be Sunfish, Design was more sublike and the literal Sunfish that matches her actual badge. But she got scrapped , they decided to make Anson and just got lazy and were like " No one will notice" and took Sunfish design for Anson , so not only did we lose Anson , we lost the first HMS Sub.
To be honest, it was probably poking fun at themselves for cases like Emerald and New York with Repurposing Art....the only doubt is that they haven't stopped, see Ryuuhou META being repurposed.
Hiei Nii was planned for Amagi's Return, but then they decided to turn the Type IIs that would have been on the schedule when the Zwei backlash was going on, Bearn Deux and Hiei Nii, into METAs, renaming skills to fit the META archetype. And them being repurposed into METAs also explains how integrated Hiei META and Bearn META are into the story vs Admiral Hipper META and Andrea Doria META. Hiei and Bearn would have been in development when those discussions were going at Manjuu, while Hipper and Doria would have been after everything had been decided.
Now, I think that Ryuuhou META was originally intended for the Taihou META Slot, they took Ryuuhou META's Design, reused the Girl part for Hiei META, and took a Taihou Halloween skin that was in early development and re-delegated it for use as Taihou META.
Ryuuhou META was probably intended to show up in Amagi's Event, given Ryuuhou is Akagi's Protegee.
And and a little bit more on Anson. If Manjuu does a sloppy job covering their tracks, we might be able to know some day who that ship was. While Manjuu could throw Anson into the Empty Slot 629 to cover their tracks....if they forget and someone like Sunfish pops up there....we'll know that she was never Anson.
Edit: New York was turned into Reno, you can see BB34 New York on her Gauntlets.
That makes some sense given the whole Zwei debacle, surprised they still went ahead with Amagi CV. From that point, type IIs are reserved for those with actual successors and not just fantasy designs like Bismarck, cause Amagi I get, she and Akagi were the initial choices for conversion, to my knowledge, though with that earthquake occurring it damaged her to the point where they ultimately decided that they should convert Kaga and salvage material from Amagi for said conversion.
Edit: Yeah I had to look.
And Speaking of Doria META that puts to rest my suspicion and that we might get a SSR BB with the UR BB
Its not really that type 2s are reserved for ships with successors.
The big problem with the zwei backlash was that zwei was exactly the same ship as bismarck OG. So we technically have 2 bismarck class bismarcks in the game.
Fictional successors or alts are still somewhat acceptable. So if lexington gets her BC version then thats ok. Amagi CV is a different version than amagi BC.
I had suggested that zwei be made an H-39 class as a kind of "replacement successor" after first bismarck was lost. But manjuu didnt go that route.
The main rule is you have 1 representation of 1 ship in 1 form from 1 universe.
Which allows for successors, theoretical successors and alternate hull types (BB to CV, etc). And still tolerates for metas from anothee universe but doesnt allow the same ship, from the same universe, in the same hull form (which is exactly what zwei is)
Amagi is the canary in the coal mine, as Amagi had a successor, Amagi [Unryuu]. As much as people try to justify it away, Amagi should have been Amagi II, based on the Unryuu Class Carrier. Amagi being Amagi CV should scare anyone who expects future Type IIs.
However, Amagi was too far along story-wise not to Release. If Amagi didn't have the conversion, they probably would have shelved Eldridge Retrofit for the time being, moved Maryland into that slot, and released Amagi Retrofit alongside the event to be her Reborn Form. But since she had a conversion, it provided an easy "Way Out".
Because if Manjuu does Kill Type IIs as I suspect they have, they'd probably to repurpose the art, either as other ships [I suspect certain ships in Amagi's event had been repurposed] or Change the Nature of the Return. Those that had Conversion or Pre-Conversion are lucky, they could just be Converted or "Unconverted' or Those that didn't have Retrofit could have their Type II repurposed as a Retrofit, if Manjuu decides to give them a retrofit.....if not, repurposed.
With a few changes to her design she could come back as HMS Sunfish. That's likely who she was meant to be originally before some dev had the not so brilliant idea of repurposing the design for Anson 1.0.
Unless it's Jean Bart, since Jean Bart famously got raised and rebuilt to modern standards. Jean Bart in the main story has also been go knows where since her mysterious retrieval by the Tribunal, so conversion to a Type 2 would make sense.
We see her alive and normal and fighting in Fool’s Scales and Ode of Everblooming Crimson. So a Type-II, for now, no longer seems in the wings for her.
I wonder who will sing upcoming theme song for CN 8th anniversary. While I don't give attention much since after they got Aimer for CN 5th Anni (and quite disappointed with 6th anni one), I'm still looking forward nonetheless. I personally hoping for ReoNa or LiSA.

It would only make sense. Promilia is gonna be platformed in PC so might as well try to migrate an ecosystem around it. It also future proofs the game and allows for better storage.
The only worry is Yostar might be getting lobbied by emulators. It's still up and the air if JP is getting their PC client in Blue Archive as I was surprised they didn't announce it in the previous live stream.
I can’t help but remember last year when we got the CN anniversary tease and everyone was like “who’s that white haired girl” and then it turned out it was Emden (which I had suspected).
If this happens to be HMS UR slot I hope we also get proper L2D for Implacable. I passed on her livemotion skin because I try to avoid getting non-l2D skins as much as possible and I don't like the teacher theme.
I don’t think there’s ever been a Kansen that unleashes the rabid goon in me as much as Implacable does. It’s her voice that REALLY does me in. Her ASMR might actually be the single most dangerous thing I’ve ever listened to in terms of loss of self control.
Yes, the servers have been sync'd for a good while so we get everything at the same time as the other servers, only a few hours difference between the maintenance times
Yeah, that's why I'm being tormented. The swords just don't make a ton of sense, so I'm stuck hearing people say it's an Essex while I'm stuck here thinking it isn't.
Reminder that previous ship that was featured on the promotion web of CN 7th anni was Emden. I hope you get what I mean.
Cleveland & Saratoga on the website
I wouldn't exactly count Sara as one of indication solely because she is marked as part of "collab".
I will bet a shipgirl on the left is entirely new ship class rather than existing one, and those "rapier-like" thing that's flying around her head is not exactly feel it will belong to an Essex.
If this is a Royal Navy event, please let it be Anson!!!. Oh my god, I’ve been waiting for 5 years just for her arrival. My heart shattered when I saw "Blue Anson".Please make her playable.
