>>51014153I think that's a normal reaction to something that's supposed to be an aged up version of the same design. Nyan got a lot of the same comments when she did it, although her's wasn't as well executed as Saru's IMO.
Personally speaking I do prefer it though, at least with 3/4 of the hairstyles. Twintails hate, at least with her model. Short hair should have been the standard but I know she doesn't like it as much.
