Anime style does not translate well to DOA5's aesthetic with its more detailed designs and realistic head-to-body proportions. Except for Honoka (bc she's barely wearing anything) these all look thick, even Kasumi's thanks to the side ponytail. I think I'd like hers if you could pick the blue ribbon ponytail with it but I'm guessing this one will have a locked hairstyle.
I have the suspicion DOA's artstyle will revert to an anime inspired look in DOA6. That way they can sell their animu DLC even better. That' all DOA5 seems to be about in the last couple of years and what makes them the most cash.
It probably wont return its original Anime mode, but what they may do is give the colours, the overall tone and mood for the new game that "pop". Eyes may become bigger in the process xDI HOPE it does. The old art style looked LEAGUES better. It "popped" more, yaknow? Brighter, more vibrant colors. Anyone else remember when Kasumi was a redhead?!
None of you will ever let me live this down won't you?? XDKasumi looks awesome in this outfit from what I can see <3! (But of course the costume will be a fail if no high heels -@KasumiLover69 logic =P).
Definitely considering picking this up! Not really feeling the other potential designs though. Like has been implied, this pack will be an unfortunate case of AquaPlus' super anime style not translating into DOA5's aesthetic. Also, LOL, should've figured that Honkers would get the stripper outfit.
So Christie got nothing again?
This new set is the most hit or miss pack yet... I liked Kasumi's, Honoka's, and Kokoro's, but not a fan of Rachel's, Nyotengu's, or whatever guy (I think Bayman) that they just tweeted... :/
