>>47290005Chibi isn't inherently bad, but the chibi style in BDSP is bad.
The problem is that ILCA is a mobile shovelware company using chibi as a crutch, when chibi is just like any other art style, requiring skill to properly execute.
I think the most telling thing is the hands. A good artist knows what details to include or omit, and the 5 fingers on a hand are not something you should include in your chibi art.
