>>64268293At least for KR, they lowered the requirements for a new costume because it was coming out of the branches budget... Yuya, Nagi, Roha, Siu, Bora and Hada qualified plus Gaon and Chiho's new models to replace the shitty one that Moarin had made. Yet they still ran into situations where the requirement was met, the costume was done but they were still told "no" by KR management.
I wonder who was behind it, bullying their branch makes like that. Roha almost graduated over it until Bora stood up for her.
Siu's design also was largely done by her before it was passed to the new artist (not Mito) to do the final drawing and rig it while reusing her existing facial expressions.
