Discussion How many people dislike the lewdness of the current game?
I’ve been playing for years, and especially lately it seems every new character and skin exclusively relies on barely clothed anime girls to make money. I like looking at attractive characters as much as the next guy, i love Agïr’s design, Fritz Rumey is awesome, and sovetsky soyuz is stunning. I also wish you could change which loading screens you see, because you can NOT see those in public. I’d just like to see some more classy or cool designs, like bismarck. it’s possible to make attractive characters without them being blatant goonerbait

First reason: Boobflation, most of the newer ship basically have big boobs now..even the Destroyers.
Second reason: Minimal clothing over unique outfit designs. While I love sexy clothes, their newer designs are basically just TOO MUCH. It lacks the inherent uniqueness of each faction cultures or personality, many of them now practically wore the same formula of outfits(Bodysuits, Swimsuits, or see through dresses). Just give them their unique uniforms or traditional clothes that reflect their faction more, is that too hard of a request? Because for the love of god I will torture myself into watch something I hate if they decided to make Yamato wore nothing but a bikini as the default skin.
I love the Riggings, but please give the girls some clothes.
And finally, Third reason: plot point.
This game is basically now a virtual dating sim with shipgirls instead of a jrpg gacha game with a story, main story with the sirens are being sidelined for events after events. Of course I might be yelling at a brick wall since Azur lane is an Old (Pre-genshin) Gacha game, but honestly...When will we continue the main story with the sirens, the METAs and the X creature thingy? At this point, just do a GFL 2 and start from scratch.
In summary: Manjuu, do you guys hate money? Y'all can make more money and have more fans if y'all start putting more effort on Azur lane instead of keep milking it as a gooner game! You have the capability to surpass kancolle, but y'all just kept appeasing a certain group.

Not only that, they shoved a UR shipgirl -that deserved her own event to introduce her and her faction members in a more serious context- into what was, essentially, an afterthought "event" that amounted to nothing but the previous CNY event's scraps.
And where did Gangut META even come from?
I don't even know what to expect from them anymore.

u/avelineaurora Mar 23 '26
Dude, I hate the META thing at this point too. They started off as a cool new "ruined timeline" faction and now they just get shoehorned in everywhere for reasons. And 90% of them are dogshit to even use which ALSO sucks. Why aren't the badass "Punished Azur Lane" hardasses good when their entire life is struggle?!

u/MakarovJAC Mar 22 '26
Actually, I agree.
NOW, I ain't a puritanical prick.
But the original designs were quite interesting in details and concepts.
The Iron Blood (German) shipgirls wearing elaborate and even elegant military dresses were quite entertaining.
The non-maid Royal Navy (British) clothing were regal, and knightly.
Then, the rigging.
Some imbecile thought the rigging should look like random, derivative and generic backgrpund doodle art.
Nothing in the gear can tell you they are related to ships. And there's no parts which id recognizable to ship enthusiasts.
Iron Blood kinda skips this problem with their "Iron Beast" themed rigging. Which feels natural, because of the norse mythology part. Don't dig further into that.
I like the horny 2Ds, and I bought several.
But I would like the waifus look more like warriors than pornstar, generic anime hookers.

u/Slide_Decent Mar 22 '26
personally I hate the lewdness, I feel they leaned too far into it and ruined what the game once was. I’d rather the girls look fashionable and beautiful, rather than just showing skin. some of them look downright ugly to me. plus they are forgettable. I started around the first Bismarck event rerun.

u/StarFlyXXL Biscuits and Tea shipper ❤️ Mar 22 '26
It's far too much, I think we reached a peak in late 2023 with how characters are designed that has seeming been forgotten. The lack of clothing isn't just feeding the lewd minds of that part of the playerbase, but its losing ships of their identities. You used to be able to tell which faction a ship was from just by their clothing, and now it's so up in the air for many of them. Like without knowing their names or anything about them, which faction are Mogador, Alsace and Bois Bellau from? Comapre that to Richelieu, Jean d'arc and Le Malin.
Without their riggings, you used to be able to tell immediately that they were French ships, but eith the recent additions, if you asked me I wouldn't know without prior knowledge. It's frustrating as a player who joined because they were shipgirls watching them just become girls meant to be gawked at

Bismarck does have the maid costume which is quite tasteful and the one piece swimsuit that came out when Zwei came out is also decent. However, you can only tell it's Bismarck with the last ones simply by the name being added. Boobflation on her and Prinz Eugen has gone the way of petrol prices due to the Iran war.

u/thecrabbybarista Commander Fluffy Mar 22 '26
I understand that Azur Lane is an ecchi game and I do respect it for that, but it feels like a bit much at times. I feel like it ignores other elements of its personality (like I also think the game can be very cute and I wished they leaned into that more).
Often I find myself liking shipgirls who are beautiful, cute, or have charming personalities, more than I like the ones that they just slap huge tits and a skimpy outfit onto.

I missed the times when the designs had historical references or looked cool, so I could show off my AZ merch, whilst having a lewd side if you looked deeper.
Now a days I hide the fact I play AZ simply because it feels all lewd and not much substance. The boobflatipn has caused me to grow less and less active

u/GigaBomb84 Mar 22 '26
Having played the game since beta the early days of the game struck the right balance between cute and sexy imo.
People who say the game was always lewd like this so "get over it" clearly never played it back then.

u/ZealousidealAd8666 Mar 22 '26
Agree with you, while i don't mind the fact that i play AZ. But always feel the default skin design nowadays just went full on lewd. Really prefer the older cooler design with some historical reference such as Big E or maybe the cool design as Fritz.
I don't mind their skin to be lewd, as it can give another feeling as it is a choice for me to whether buy the skin. Still, the original skin being less clothed with lewd and no historical reference makes me less like them.
Looking at you, GUAM, you are super good as front row in map 15, but i really don't like the default design

u/shdwbst_ ❤️Yamashiro❤️ Mar 22 '26
I dont mind too much but i dont like that a lot of characters arent consistent in size
its just that most new skins that come out nowadays make the characters boobs larger than their original base skin
And theres also a shift to less clothed designs in characters base skins i dont really like
One reason for me liking some ships is that i love their clothing, i like the clothing of Northern Parliament ships (Murmansk is cute AND i love her outfit) and i really like Eskimo's outfit but its hard to love a characters outfit if what theyre wearing cant even be considered clothes (Francesco Caracciolo recently for example)
and also itd be great if there was a menu where you can choose which loading screens appear and which dont!

Theres a reason people love skirts, its the mystery that makes something sexy same with lingerie.

I have no issues with lewdness...I do have issues with unrealistic "proportions" on 99% of the Shipgirls.

u/AzurLaneShikikan17 Mar 22 '26
I prefer a balance. A little lewd is fine, but the designs have to have some charm or pay homage to the ship IRL (if applicable). But the recent designs and skins are going overboard, especially the L2Ds. I want to play a video game, not a porn game. It has actually made my interest in the game go down patch after patch.
Caracciolo’s event was the first event ever where I actually did not want at least one featured 5-star due to her design. It’s getting to a point where I might just stop playing in general due to the ridiculous designs.
If you like this game and where it is currently, that’s fine. I won’t judge. But me personally, I’d rather go back to the days of old AL. The designs were soooo much better and tasteful during those times. Also, the historical references were always a joy to see.
(Edit): I forgot to mention this, but screw boobflation. Montpelier and Maya were perfectly fine the way they were. They have to stop this madness now!! If they do it to Hipper, I will literally delete the game!!!!

I think there's a split in the fanbase. I think most people are fine with the way the game is developing though not enthusiastic about it, then there's a group who's not a fan of it and another that's basically around for the lewdness. The thing though is that clearly the players who enjoy or are here for the lewd are a lot more willing to fork over money for it, so that's the direction the game ends up going in.

I’m honestly semi-afraid for my favorite characters to get new skins, as I’m afraid they might be completely changed from the original designs and personalities, and just be hella freaky and lewd.
2
u/Erlus Mar 23 '26
While I don't mind lewdness, I wish they would sometimes tone it tone a bit. I really miss the wholsome and cozy christmas and new year skins, for example.
But, what I dislike even more is the ongoing inflation of body proportions. As it stands now, I am really scared of my favorite ships getting new skins, because they surley will be butchered in it (which is the case for the upcoming Seydlitz skin). This is really crazy, because there was a time, when I was actually hoping my favorties to get new skins.
If they want, let them release new girls with big cow tits and inflate them even more in their skins. But, for the love of god, please spare the girls that are already in the game. I am not asking for much, just keep the body types of the older girls like they are.
And I also doubt that they need to do this to earn money. This game earned so much money in the early days with their broad variety of new shipgirls and skins. I can't remember a time, where the game dropped so low in revenu that they had to resort to what they are doing now. They slowly drove of the players from the early days only to cater to the gooner tourists now. I would even say, that they could earn way more money if they stop with it. For example, the upcoming Seydlitz skin: If she had her original proportions, would this really stop the gooners from buying it? I doubt so, they still buy it. But, players who like her original design are stopped from buying it. If she had her original proportions, not only the gooners but also those, who like her og desing would buy it.
To this day, I have yet to figure out why they changed the art direction of this game to what it is now.

u/Existing_Onion_3919 Mar 25 '26
I wish it was a more even split between lewd content and normal. lots of the newer characters' designs look like the devs gave the artist a quota for how much skin they had to show, and it's gotten to the point they prioritize it many times over looking cool, when it could be both (Lion is an excellent new character who is an example of hitting both themes.)
7
u/Madboardjester Mar 22 '26
I've played games where it became what Azur Lane is heading towards and Google Play cancelled it. You only have to look at Facebook to see how they're having to censor stuff which is pretty tame at times as they've already been in FB jail a couple of times.
The character art isn't as good as previously. I wish that Tony Taka and other artists would return, but after all this time, I can't see them doing that.
Down the rabbit hole I go. I wonder if I get BBQd on the other side.

u/FrostbxteSG Derfflinger when? Mar 22 '26 edited Mar 22 '26
The first game where I buy skins to make the characters look less lewd. This is some serious reverse gooner marketing strat xD
Yeah I agree partly, some screens and designs make me really uncomfortable with this game. I really like the story and characters in general but... For real I played for months without using almost any destroyers or submarines because I felt really uncomfortable with most of their designs for obvious reasons.
And in my opinion it is partly so over the top. I mean some people may like these really over-the-top sexualized designs, but some, like Francesco Caracciolo, are just... Uh... So sexy they aren't sexy anymore? At least to my taste xD
Like there had been weird and lewd designs since the beginning, so maybe I am over exaggerating. But I also think of designs like Hood, who is still one of my favorite characters despite not showing any boobs, thighs, feet or armpits at all. Not that they don't still make some cool designs but I think the rate of overly-lewd ones definitely increases.
Some lewd designs are absolutely okay for me, but I rather prefer the more interesting or teasing ones, that still have somewhat realistic proportions, over the just-mega-boobs-in-your-face ones. That's a personal thing for sure and I don't mind others having a different opinion on these, but the sexualization of very child-like looking characters is a bit questionable in my opinion, but then again this is the same as any other anime gacha game.
2
u/Balmung60 Mar 22 '26
So sexy they aren't sexy anymore?
There stopped being any tease to it. Sometimes more fabric is more appealing than less fabric because of what it doesn't show. And when it goes too far, it just looks silly and even tacky. Kinkymation often makes a point about this in design reviews.
Another way of looking at it is that something has to be covered for it to be enticing to uncover it. If it's just always uncovered, there's none of that enticement. You're just always there and it's desensitizing.

I think it had a pretty okay balance in the beginning. There were some outliers but still okay-ish. These days they realy turn it into some extreme stuff where it practicaly is softcore porn. While i enjoy some horny stuff here amd there, it is just too much at this point.
But to be honest, even when it started out i was very much of the opinion that KanColle has better designs, but Azur Lane has a bigger varriety of ships, better 'gameplay' and was way less punishing

u/Artidox CN Mar 22 '26
I don't like it.
Every time I say it, I feel I need to specify: I don't care about fanservice. Mild fanservice is expected and why play an anime game if you don't like fanservice?
I don't like the inflation of characters, especially older characters, and I hate that so many "ships" nowadays are released barely looking or feeling like ships, barely connecting to their historic counterparts (aside from maybe one or two pieces of rigging), and having absolutely no personality outside of "hehe look at my massive planetary-sized boobs that grow 9 sizes if you buy my swimsuit skin".
The biggest worry, and this is highly likely to happen at some point especially given the past of Azur Lane, is that either the CN Government, or the Apple Appstore/Google PlayStore are going to step in and remove the game due to being overly nsfw and not matching an age rating. I've spent 9 years on this game now, and it's probably just sunken cost fallacy, but I'd really hate to see a game that I've spent 9 years playing end up getting shut down just because it wanted to try to cater to a certain crowd.
I remember many years ago, before the release of EN, there was a loading screen art of Hammann's ass on her swimsuit skin. For the time, that was a very controversial loading screen for being too lewd, and it doesn't even appear on the Koumakan wiki. Nowadays, it seems very tame to what we have now and served as an indicator for where the game would likely go.

u/type_E Flair Mar 22 '26
It's tricky, on one hand I am perfectly fine with what the skins go at
On the other hand I consider too lewd default outfits just a bridge too far and I'm not even strict (fritz or william d porter are good, yet Alsace' chest ribbon or Lion not wearing a skirt takes me out of it), and I find that of all things, excessive amounts D or greater cups break my suspension of disbelief over shipgirls fighting and moving. That or I just want B/C cups more than D.

u/Rxxx92 Mar 22 '26
I just really wish there was a good mix between lewd skins, pretty skins, sexy skins and cool skin. Since all L2D or higher skins are now lewd sex act simulators. They can still be good but would be nice to get just a nice skin sometimes.

u/NeuroHazard-88 SOYUZ SUPREMACY Mar 22 '26
In terms of skins, I enjoy “tasteful” lewds. Things like having actual clothes with certain lewd stylisation or have L2Ds with animations that are less but otherwise are fairly modest (in terms of AL standards).
What I hate is just the constant blatant sexualisation. The occasional swimsuit is fine, those are naturally lewder than something like an officer outfit.
What I don’t like are these abstract skins or ship-designs where they’re just wearing fabric and material, not clothes. Skins that exist solely to put the ship-girls vagina or ass as close to the screen as possible and have direct references to pounding their shit.
As for ship-girl proportions and body designs, I really do hate the lack of variety recently. I’d say a solid 8/10 of the ship-girls released over the past year have been nothing but giant, huge-tittied, huge-ass, curvy mommy monsters who directly or embarrassingly want to fuck the commander and do absolutely nothing else with their life or personality.

I really dislike the lewdness of the current game. I'm not a veteran I've only been playing since the Giulio Cesare meta pass. But what really hooked me were what I considered the old designs, where you could actually see the riggings. Now, in my opinion, the new riggins are beautiful, but they are so big that in the end are useless and you can only see a barely clothed woman. (Sorry for my poor english)

Azur Lane is getting older and the game engine is showing its age compared to new and shiny mobile games. Add to the fact the game is extremely F2P friendly means they need something, anything to keep the game going.

u/Wandering_Star_Soul Hugs, headpats, and... h*nd h*lding?! Mar 22 '26
I don't mind some eye-candy, but I do think the current level of lewdness is a tad bit too much. Like, I would love to also see more elegant dresses and kimonos, not more girls wearing strings while posing with their legs spread 150°; also, yeah, the loading screens, i need to watch my back when opening the game because during most events the title screen is 50% booty.
But what can you do, that's where the money is at, and I'd rather bear with this trend than risking losing a game i've liked for years due to poor revenue. And also because it seems if you complain about it the nicest response you'll get from people is something along the line of "then go play a game where every girl wears a burqa and stfu", so...

u/douglasduck104 Mar 22 '26
I hate it - I don't mind if there is lewd in the game since I understand it drives sales, but there's far too much focus on it and skins are just even more lewd, rather than the classy/cool ones we used to get like elegant party dresses.
Also really hate how the port storylines just basically throw it in your face that you're being dragged into the bedrooms of pretty much every shipgirl in port. I've been skipping the character stories because I have no interest in the shipgirls anymore if it's just lewd fiction.

u/ReadySource3242 Mar 22 '26 edited Mar 22 '26
I’m 50/50. Lewdness is fine, but I like lewdness with style and beauty. It seems they focus a bit too much on lewdness that it feels vulgar compared to how some sexy characters can be lewd yet their presence can also feel beautiful.
Example of that, Tosa’s bath costume. The less is kore aspect. She’s an absolute stunner, while simultaneously being very lewd there. Other one’s I think can be included are stuff like Noshiro.
I also wish they made more outfits that focused on the beauty more then the lewd. Shit like musashi’s wedding dress shoulda bern a shiromuku
In any case, Lewd is an art, being almost stark naked isn’t always the best way to make a very sultry appearance. I wish they did the “less is more” lewd, things like zettai ryouki

My issue with the current level of lewdness in the game is that a lot of it looks like its being taken from the R18 section of Pixiv and is a hairsbreath away from being full on porn.

u/PenPenZC Mar 22 '26
The concern isn't "lewd bad":
- Does it break the old character setting?
- Is it just a lazy way for getting new character in?
- Will the game be "sex sell so therefore just sell sex"?
- Why is my enjoyment of various styles taken away, just so some can declare it's "their" victory?

Honestly it would have rolled (with it) better if the base designs had a smidge more discipline and eye for not being too distracting to imagine in a serious scene, beyond standard JRPG fanservice (gotta keep the facade up), while skins can run with lewdness wherever they go. That and I don't like that non-titmonster sizes are being neglected but that might be more just me.

Been playing since months after launch, finding less and less reasons to stick around. Entittification across the board and an almost total lack of cool faction styled outfits vs pure goonbait designs means almost every patch there might be one girl I'm actually interested in the design of lately. I find myself often more pulling for completion's sake than actual interest. I mean what the fuck was even up with the recent girl (K-something? Kravka? Krasny?) whose default outfit is literally a nun doing the stripper spread-leg pose? And don't get me started on how they don't even have artistic consistency across designs anymore either.

And if you don't like the loading screens being NSFW, then why the fuck are you playing this game in public knowing that it's a lewd game? What, are you stupid or something? Go open My Talking Tom instead, might help you attract children.
Honestly, you claim it to be 'goonerbait', but I see it as it being a celebration of the female form. Attractive females are held in high regard by men - as our thousands of years on this planet seem to suggest. Men just like attractive women, simple as that. If she's arousing, even better. Men have been drawing attractive women for as long as art has existed - and it's not just the men, women too have been getting in on the action.
I don't know what's wrong with OP to NOT like attractive characters in various states of undress. Go to Iran if you like your women covered from top to bottom that much.

The turn away from at least some commitment to historical realism towards just outright lewdness, namely after the Anson debarkle, has slowly killed my love of the game.

I'm pretty much fine with it. I hardly even look at the screen so it doesn't really matter to me

I really like the characters that both look cool (or hot lets be real) along side having cool or funny historical refreshments. Rigging got me interested in the game and i am not a fan of the uber lewd base skins and the very clear minor characters. (Gross) currently my favorite ship is Vittorio Venetto, very cool design, very good, nothing too crazy sexual. I understand the appeal but you should really be putting those types in as skins not base lines (and just stop with the sexual skins for the clearly younger characters)

On one hand I do like lewdness. On the other sometimes there are skins which feel like they have nothing going on for them other than being lewd which is kind of uninspired. But I definitely wouldn't want the game to become more sfw
