Vanguard, here i come !

Her artist is likely to be Ask aka the artist for AL's Richelieu and AK's Surtr.

Vanguard. Finally

According to some translation, Vanguard is a weeb. Instant sell. Also her construction animation is literally a mahou shoujo naked transformation scene

Wow she's gorgeous. I really like her outfit too. It's professional looking but also stylish. Also, I must admit I do love a battleship that's more on the slender side.

Damn she looooooks fine a cute, slim Royal battleship.

*muffled Rule Britannia begins to play in the background*

Why does she look so French though?

Welp, time to sacrifice my cubes and wallet to get Vanguard.

Does she look like a Baguette ship rather than an HMS?

The white and gold trim makes it look from another faction.. I think a little red would help.

God, another UR? I barely had the cubes for Ulrich and Kron, and now a third. These really should be an annual thing.

I don't think it'll help much. Red, white, gold is kind of a French thing if you look at the likes of Richelieu and Triomphant. Golden crosses are also generally a French thing in AL which Vanguard has far too much off. Honestly, Vanguard would probably look much more British if they ditched her white rigging and clothes and went with navy blue instead. Even with the British ships that have golds in their designs, their golds are much more muted than the very bright golds more typical with a fair number of French ships.

Third? This is the fifth natural UR after Shinano, Jersey, Ulrich, Kron and Shimakaze.

at least Manjuu have warned us we'd be getting 4 this year iirc.

For a second, I thought this was a retrofit for Cleveland. But that's fine, I can always wait for it to come(eventually).

Damn, this quality of design is actually high-budget anime level. Reminds me of characters like Tohsaka Rin or Asuka Langley.

Your LACK of comparison is Distrubing.
