Azur Lane (AL) is a 2017 alternate history shoot-em-up gacha game for mobile devices; developed by Chinese studio Manjuu, and published by Yo-Star. Players take the role of a naval commander, commanding and controlling fleets of anthropomorphized warships from the Second World War--known in-game as shipgirls. The game takes place at an indeterminate time after a war between the Azur Lane and Crimson Axis--the game timeline's equivalent to the Allied and Axis powers. The two instead unite against the Sirens, a faction of mysterious, timeline-hopping shipgirls that wreak havoc upon various timelines of Earth through "reenactments".
As Azur Lane's international release was after 2017's r/place, it only had a notable presence in the 2022 canvas. Its r/place community's growth was stifled, as one of the leading r/AzureLane moderators believed that the subreddit should be exclusively for game-related content. Nevertheless, a small community to coordinate actions on the canvas did form via Discord, and it aligned with the Gacha Alliance.
