>>9520253>She looks neat, bit not as neat considering she is Dead Master, (previous versions of the character were better IMO)The anime version with the stupid veil and neon green glasses was absolutely horrible in my opinion. This new one is an improvement, but still not as good as the simple but elegant original design.
In fact, the same can be said about most of this franchise- After the original illustrations and the supercell song, every other instance has been a let down other than maybe the manga and psp videogame as I don't know much about either of them.
The OVA had great designs and was a really good start, but it was just that, a start with no real continuation. The anime had pretty crappy teen drama and worse designs for the human girls, and I can't say that increasing the characteristic single bright color of the alter egos was a great idea (and in Dead Master's case, they totally fucked her up as I previously said). The point of Huke's designs was to make monochomatic characters with only the eyes being a bright color, and they completely failed to understand the appeal of that after the OVA. But they needed variations to sell the merchandising, I guess.
Let's see if this new anime is any good and it actually sells me on the new designs, wouldn't mind getting some figmas of them in that case.
