Queen's Blade: Unlimited

Too skinny.

>>161480414
The design looks a lot less "wild", the lack of spiky hair and clothes.
btw it's quite a time since I heard of Queen's Blade, what happened/is happening with the franchise nowadays?

>>161480533
I can only think of the obvious reboot

>>161480414
I like it, but I still prefer the old one.
Other than that >>161480497 >>161480533 already said my piece.

>>161480414
I like it.

>>161480414
I hate it

>>161480414
She looks younger, I like the older version.

Basically the same thing except for the hair.

This shit isn't Risty.

>>161480414
That ain't MY Risty.

>>161480414
I prefer the old version but I will rip my skin on the new one all the same.

So far I'm not against any of the designs.
But it ultimately falls on what they do to Menace.

>>161480414
I preferred the spiky hair, but this isn't as bad as some of the other redesigns they've done.

>>161481566

Look at that wonderful mane.

>>161480533
reboot since qb japs just heard about moe

>>161480414
This design actually a fine change, except for the hair. Her wild hair was the best part. Changing the style would be fine if they kept it looking wild at least...

#NotMyRisty

>>161480414
Not sure whether is it their new artist or new direction but everyone looks very generic and forgetable now.

>>161480414
Hips need to be wider, hair needs to be messier. Other than that it looks pretty good. That bird skull shield bracer thing is pretty fucking cool though.

>>161484679
Yeah, they're all pretty much moeblobs now.

>>161484679
They do. They all look like generic 15 year old seasonal haremshit girls instead of the memorable and curvy adults they used to be.

>>161480414
Looks better than other designs
I doubt they'll be able to animate that huge-ass club though. Her fight scene in s2 was GOAT and they made it work, but this one is gonna be weird

What's wrong with it?

>>161481566
FEET you idiot, feet

>>161484824
Same thing that's wrong with all the other designs. It's just meh. The only things that look good about them are by and large the things that haven't been changed too much from the original designs. The changes are typically generic, too. Like with Risty, her original design showed that she was tough, wild. Now she just looks like another sexy-cute girl in a skimpy outfit.

>>161485522
She is the money maker, so I bet they're getting her design just right.

I'm still waiting on Tomoe. Hopefully they keep her skimpy underwear.

>>161481566
Old one also had some fur on the amor that made it look more barbarian. I don't know why in the new one they just took out some detail to make it more generica.

I like the new armor design, but that's it.

Basically the only reason that I'm not completely apathetic is that the genki shortstack still looks decent.

The worst part about Unlimited is that Elina is the protagonist.

The character redesigns are nothing compared to how shitty a decision that was.

>>161487490

Elina is great protagonist material, though. She was a lot of fun in H&S, and I believe that quite a few of the problems that people have with the original series would be solved if she were the protagonist. It would completely change the tone of the story, for the better.

The problem is that her Unlimited design looks plastic as fuck.

New one might be good too but I can already tell it won't top the original. I really wish they would just do more with the original art style.

kek

>>161487555
I loved Reina as the protagonist. You are wrong.

>>161487555
She was annoying as fuck in H&S

>>161487637

Consider the potentials for Elina's journey.

-She has greater room for moral growth. That also provides a hook for motivation that the audience can get emotionally invested in.
-She's not a stalwart defender of justice and fairness, which opens the door for all manner of antics to take place, both comedic and not so much.
-Pursuit stories tend to make for a good premise.
-She has a lot more energy than Reina.

She's a far better template to work with than Reina, on top of her sexy posture and great hair.

>real risty:
>wild untamed hair, muscles, leathers and furs combined with a stereotypically uncouth weapon in the mace and the shield give you the impression of a kind of barbarian/amazon mixed with a gladiator
>earrings and nail polish hint that she's not really a tomboy type and does still have a touch of "caring big sister" femininity to her
>fake risty:
>uhhh, she has red hair and big boobs

>>161487555
She was annyoing and easily the worst part of the show.

>>161487637
I'm curious about how the anime ova/series is gonna handle this. Because this could all be very different from what we watch.

Because they are awful and devoid of any personality

That's it though. There's nothing defining her as "Echidna", the sex-oozing dark elf.

All the new designs are setting up people to believe that QB is some cliche isekai battle harem.

But to be honest with Ms Incest as the main character it might appear even more generic.

>And what was i in the first place?
There was a lot of cliches for sure in QB. But it was always offset by the charm of the characters and their interactions. All I can imagine for the future now is just mediocrity.

Tired of this meme. Leina's ass is average among the cast, just like every other aspect of her boring outfit and design.

This "Leinass" meme is just a consequence of her being the MC and getting the most fanservice. She's a terrible main character. Leinafags should kill themselves.

>>161491466
How many straight girls were there even in this series? I only remember Cattleya because she had a kid and a husband called Owen (who was at least as hot as some of the girls)

>>161491791
Cattleya is the obvious one. I think Nanael was the other who expressed interest in men and distaste in women.

I was hoping for deliciously thick wild amazon with rock hard abs. This is such a disappointment.

You're all overreacting. Risty's measurements haven't changed. If she looks any less thick/muscular, that's just because of this one artist's style, and/or because it's just one picture.

Tell me that Risty looked muscular and thick in every piece of OG QB official art. You can't. Not even the original character designer drew her that way every time.

>>All of them look so generic and forgettable
Really?

Leina and Airi got haircuts, while Echidna got a little darker. Those three barely changed at all, so if their designs are generic and forgettable now, they were generic and forgettable from the start.

>>161502713
>they only changed a tiny bit that means there was nothing notable about them before!
ok anon

>>161502730
Not at all what I said. Hair/skin color aren't enough to stop a character from looking generic and forgettable, so slight changes to hair/skin color aren't going to make them generic and forgettable either.

>>161502886
but it wasn't just the hair and skin, faces change the look of a character as well.

>>161502931
I agree the faces look generic but that's nothing more than the artists' style I think. All artists prefer drawing faces a different way.

>>161480414
ok
