Also unpopular opinion. I personally would have liked it more if it was more mystery centered story with Aqua as the main character and the Idol stuff just happened in the background. Maybe Death Note kinda vibes. It seemed halfway through the story, we kept flipping back and forth between Aqua having a fake love triangle story and a fake Slice of life story where we only get reminded sometimes that Aqua was doing his own thing in the background.
No, but from a personality perspective it makes total sense Red was from a small town in the middle of nowhere (like Kieran) so Kieran would 100% be like 'he just like me fr'
Bismarck, like every ship ever built anywhere, is an inanimate object. It is not a he, nor a she, it is a THING.
Ships have always historically used female pronouns and that trend continues today. Try having this argument with real sailors and see how much they care.

Which would only show how some people are stupidly attached to inanimate objects as if they were alive.
We play a game that makes characters out of these ships because it's fun and yostar can relatively easily write amusing or interesting scenarios based on their service histories.

Considering that ship is the only thing between you and a watery grave, it made sense for sailors to treat their vessels with the utmost respect. Treating them like a lady one might say.
That tradition continues even today, with very few languages making the exception. Ships are either women or gendered after who they're named after.
More likely "Bismarck", the Sabaton song about how awesome the Bismarck was.
Which actually kinda makes me wonder how AL Bismarck feels about the real world Bismarck being male, making her one of the only known genderswapped characters.
Eh, that's a point of contention. As far as it is to my knowledge only two people ever called IRL Bismarck male during that time; the ship's CO and the CO of the submarine U-556. Everyone else both their crews and elsewise called her "she". This of course excludes Naval Historians and Sabaton's retellings of those two men, has referred to Bismarck as the traditional "she" across the board. Personally I side with maintaining her as herself due to the alleged reasoning of the COs for calling Bismarck "him" just being a pitiful attempt to somehow snub Hitler, as opposed to trying to make any noble statements regarding naval ship naming conventions or really anything else really naval related. The part that actually matters for ship's. I don't mind bucking traditional conventions if there is a sound reasoning for doing so, however being politically petty isn't sound, it's just sad.
BluCloud said: I freaking HATED THE HELL outta that mission. Played that one like 20 times before I finally beat it! DAMN!
I failed the first time too. What I decided to do was this. I loaded a box or two, got off the forklift, then shot all the enemies in sight. Rinse and repeat.
