>>6151602>too fatLooks fine to me man. The only thing that looks significantly thicker on the koto is the fingers. And in fact, the Koto's waist looks even slimmer than the original design.
>They hold up pretty damn well for being over fifteen years old.That's...not a good argument, you realize? You can say anything "holds up well for old it is," the simple fact is, that becomes completely irrelevant if a better engineered option now exists. Which it does.
As for your last point...y'know what? If you're comparing them to the lineart, which is what I used for this comparison, yeah, you might be right. Cause I think this lineart looks sort of stiff, and that's exactly how I thought of the old Eva kits. Stiff and awkward looking. They do remind me of the lineart though! Whereas Koto's new kit reminds me of how Eva 01 looked in motion to me in the anime--dynamic and ready for action.
