I just looked up Azure lane out of curiosity and mild concern. Im going to share a snip it of what came up for the class:
"mobile side-scrolling shooter game where players command anthropomorphized warships (shipgirls) from various nations in an alternate WWII setting"
Just when you think you've seen it all, you haven't

Two cents from someone whose played the game for seven years:
It used to genuinely have a lot of history baked into it and was actually fairly educational and fun, with a lot of character designs involving snippets of the ships history, and abilities reflecting them as well. Scharnhorst wears an eyepatch in reference to her accidentally blinding her radar in some of her early engagements. Warspite has insane accuracy and doesn’t miss to reference her impressive performance at long ranges (still holds the record to this day!). Hood even has those stupid Anti-Aircraft rocket launched mines on one of her turrets.
However.
The entire game has at this point devolved into a generic jrpg with the cage connection of characters being named the same thing as a ship, nothing else really. It’s also completely moved away from “diverse amount of characters of various appearances” to “fucking watermelons on their chests. All of them. And have them wear functionally strips of rags all the time. Yeah.”
I miss old Azur Lane with girls in uniforms and (more) proper outfits….

Yup, Kantai Collection, was and still is the better game for people interested in the historical part, it’s just a pita to get working because it was never released to global.

Some game dev was watching Clarkson's WWII documentaries and thought "this could really use some anime titties"

He is single so…
Tetravault@reddit
As an Azur Lane player, this is the last place I'd expect to see Taihō pop up. Hammond looks so happy to be in there lol
weirdbutinagoodway@reddit
Probably just doing it to get a rise out of Clarkson.
Ok_Homework_5069@reddit
Yeah well something else rose instead for sure.
fortnite_pit_pus@reddit
Fucking insane title to read as someone who knows both of these things
Muted_Conflict_395@reddit
Why am I not surprised?
RatedXrdStrive@reddit
HAMMOND!!
Chrizzly02@reddit
For some reason I expected James (if any of them) to be the one who’d get into an itasha car. This is awesome.
admiraltt@reddit
I would have thought he would have drove one when he was in japan
admiraltt@reddit
Welp just when I thought I've seen everything I guess I haven't. Never would I have thought one of my childhood heros would be driving one of my favorite cars in an anime girl paint scheme. 'It's not a complaint it's an observation."-James May,Vietnam,2008
plasmavibe@reddit
Hammond the goon, who would have known?
agisten@reddit
r/Itasha bros are very proud of having a VIP join their ranks.
EricHaley@reddit
Did he wreck it?
weirdbutinagoodway@reddit
He doesn't wreck every car he drives.
Most of them, but not all.

HourAcadia2002@reddit
Kinda looks like his ex-wife too lol
Loud-Pineapple5322@reddit
Is this so when he crashes she'll be on top of him ???
RadioTunnel@reddit
He's already inside her though, does it really matter who's on top?
Mr_moustache72826@reddit
Dear Jesus God XD. How is this real?!?!? XD
Ok_Homework_5069@reddit
At least this time if he rolls over again he'll be happy in there.
