She's covered wars, you know.

Cool one of the Gray ships i use the most for some reason

Kancolle Aoba: **looks at Sakura Empire Aoba** Who are you? S.E Aoba: I am you but a turquoise green catgirl reporter shipgirl. Kancolle Aoba: **nods in agreement* share some scoops from your world to me, and I'll share some scoops from mine deal? S.E Aoba: **shakes Kancolle Aoba's hands** deal

[@heliogt1961]

we all agree: shes a cutie and we love her regardless of rarity or skills.

[@Azrael583]

Aoba's VA Akari Kageyama, graduated from the English department at the university, so her english pronunciation is great. She is also the VA for both Kako and Furutaka.

[@royasturias1784]

May she co-work with Sarah Emi Bridcutt and Izumi Kitta.

[@UnderAPaleGreySky]

Any plan to also look into the third BM, Abercrombie? The one nobody ever talks about? :p She actually is a straight (slight) stat upgrade in to the Erebus class (except Erebus' bonkers luck stat) and her similarly patterned barrage has a higher base damage vs. Heavy Armor, though, a noticeably lower base damage vs. light. Sums it all up, really.

[@Hawk2zer0]

hmm....haven't seen a request...then again not everyone I know talks about Monitors (they be frail tho). I can add her if she's not on the list.

[@UnderAPaleGreySky]

@@Hawk2zer0 Yep. Nobody loves Abercrombie. Not even her own faction mates. :p

[@Hawk2zer0]

@@UnderAPaleGreySky Isn't she a prankster much like Saratoga?

[@UnderAPaleGreySky]

@@Hawk2zer0 Yeah, my understanding is that she goes a lot further with it than Sara does though. I think I read that in one event she actually tricks QE into resigning only to be stopped at the very last moment by... uh... I think it was Exeter? *scratches head* Don't fully recall now, but yeah, she's kind of a punk. Edit: Nope, it was Rodney.

[@madison8818]

I like Aoba like Aya from Touhou.

[@ByeByeAlan]

cant wait till you finally get around to my numba one waifu Taihou 💞 great videos btw. I’m considering buying crosswave. Is it worth picking up?

[@Hawk2zer0]

I personally enjoyed it. It's a lot more VN heavy than it is gameplay. You can definitely have some decent fun with the characters if you build a fleet around it.

[@iamhungey12345]

Voiced by Ebina from Himouto! Umaru-chan.

[@shitbox7853]

0:15 They need them... for you know...

[@alexisv625]

8:10 Wait, she's a reporter? I always thought she's kinda like a mangaka. Great video.

[@arutezza]

Kako is furutaka with g l a s s e s

[@melchizedekpsj]

Aoba actually has very nice art and I always enjoy watching her in events and secretary missions. I feel that I should find the time to play Azur Lane: Cross Wave too. Thanks for the video! 🙏❤️✨

[@simonbengtsson9241]

Yes, Hawk, about that harem...

[@Fishman465]

Sadly while a refit would have a similar effect to the Furatako sisters, her artist Kisetsu stopped doing AL and it seem Yostar seems to care only about Belfast in terms of ships of hers, and how Belfast has been handled since there is another can of worms. But Kisetsu's commons are pretty high quality in art. Other low rarity ships with nice refits are Shiranui, Langley (near Lusty grade ACV and a carrier exp skill for a fraction of the cost), the Nevada sisters. My Sandy has hit 120; still in my PvP fleet (might replace her with Seattle)

[@Hawk2zer0]

Maybe they find a replacement or something? Never know what might happen. it's unfortunate nonetheless. Yeah...I like using nui nui...and Oklahoma's adorable. I try to actively avoid using my lvl 120s to give the exp to other ships. Only time I break that is EX/SP/Challenge mode fights.

[@xxearth25]

Huh. I did not know that Aoba was a reporter. Thanks for the info in the video Hawk. Looking forward to next episodes of Helena (Retrofit), Admiral Hipper, and the Monitor sisters of Terror and Erbus.

[@7jaws7]

I felt like such a weeb when I saw Aoba's cameo from In This Corner of the World and immediately thought "it's that green-haired catgirl reporter!"

[@borisaustria4301]

I only know Aoba as an enemy ship that always get sniped by my BB/BC.

[@AlessioFullone]

OwO nice video, finally someone covering up common ships

[@darklandmaster58]

i dont now how long i have to wait, but i must see Shiranui

[@rendesal2362]

Her O-K-E-I reminds me of Kay from GuP for some reason

[@fangride3577]

I-I would still love to see Spee

[@hilmana.w.4280]

Ayaya

[@staplesdex2]

Can you also talk about each ship's brief history in the war? Makes it feel more complete.

[@Hawk2zer0]

My naval history knowledge is limited...so a lot more time would be needed for videos....I don't think I'd have the time outside of what I do already

[@poisonouslead85]

She's the Aya Shameimaru of Azur Lane.

[@vitordiniz3142]

i just can't tank the SnAdY

[@mr.v1267]

I have to say I didn't know about Aoba in crosswave saying okay, but okay okay, I know a certain gray Azur lane ship who says it all the time, USS Pensacola aka Pepsicola

[@ThetigerCommander]

Could you please do hipper?

[@Hawk2zer0]

Soon....Soon.

[@tricky2795]

Nice vid, the biggest gem is Sandy training Isuzu,. Speaking about Isuzu, will you be covering her too? A year ago when i started AL, my go to CA is Portland, not sure how Aoba compares to her. One being a Rare gunboat with a retrofit, one being a Common Torpedo CA.

[@Hawk2zer0]

Will be covering her in the near future...she was on the list but under the "when I get here category" she'll get hers soon!

[@teawithaura]

Hawk oath'd Furutaka Me: Shoot, why haven't I oath'd the snugly one yet? (Keep up the great work, Hawk, I love these videos no matter who the character is.)

[@halmyrach]

Yes Isuzu is starting to appear instead of Sandy \o/ As a new player I missed numba wan retro event and Isuzu is a godsend for my IJN fleet, super flexible too thanks to her retro skill depending of her main gun. I hope you will do a video about her soon :) And great review of Aoba, it's pretty cool to see off meta ships getting some spotlight!

[@kglguy]

It's okay, Aoba, I think you're cool. You and your sister, Whatsherface.

[@cyrus8886]

Some of the best voice lines in the game

[@roninmarcos2041]

Aoba sounds like Ness from earthbound.

[@slipkid85]

I would love to see Kaga's sister Tosa get a vid someday

[@Anugrah_Amriza]

Aoba is Aoba. She never changed between her Kancolle Counterpart from her Azur Lane Counterpart on being a reporter.

[@randommexdude1400]

Amazon

[@bottlegang3187]

The entire video summed up: Is Aoba a straight upgrade to Furutaka and Kako without retrofit? Yes. Does it matter? *No.*

[@hotdogpopsicle]

For all these times i thought she was smoking and acts like a gangster type

[@seinfeldx]

What your Sandy is not lvl 120, blasphemy we of the Sandy server have only one thing to say "My Disappointment Is Immeasurable And My Day Is Ruined"

[@Hawk2zer0]

Kinda hard for me to prioritize her when I got PR stuff and all of these reviews to do tho...

"OK" She's no Ness

Good shit.

[@cmedeir]

I notice that you speak the Japanese ship names with a Japanese pronunciation. Why do you not do the same with the other nations? Royal Navy ships should be pronounced with their respective region’s accent. Same for the other Euro ships and Chinese (Mandarin) for the Dragon Empery. Seems disrespectful to do otherwise.

[@Hawk2zer0]

The only reason I speak the names with the pronunciation is because I know Japanese and their alphabet. With other regions, Im less familiar with the names and their pronunciations. I try to learn them, but I still am not perfect with it ( I also don't have that much time to really learn them correctly)

[@cmedeir]

@@Hawk2zer0 I was just being a smart ass ... but you really should try a Scottish accent for some of the Royal Navy ships ...
