lol I can't lie I do buy these outfits. The new ones that came out I bought some for Kokoro, Nyo, and Honoka. TN makes a lot of money im sure off of these outfits.
People (on tumblr, shocking) posting pictures of characters like Ayane in that halloween 2014 outfit saying they have no story and aren't strong female characters.
Oh. Well, I suppose that depends on your standards. The writing is pretty superficial on all characters in DOA, and they're only as strong as the story arbitrarily requires them to be for a needless fight scene. That said, they're not any less compelling than their more clothed male peers, so there isn't an incongruency there to complain of.
