NEWS: Bikini Warriors Fantasy Figure Series Gets TV Anime Project in July

I'm more perturbed that the animation character designs are more homogolized now and lack the distinctions of their originals…

maybe they are really macho about protection being for wimps (the zero fighter planes did embody this mantra in WWII, so it is not so unrealistic as it seems) and hindering their movements.

I agree. This kind of show is about sex appeal so offering some varieties of body to appreciate would make sense, but they just rely on costume and hair to differentiate character design. Seems kind of lazy. Plus if it's going to focus on boobs, like a lot of these shows do, why are they all the same size? What's the point?

A true breast-lover loves all breasts, regardless of size...

I kind of concur that it's just not helping the anime scenes image and continues to make it harder for me to defend from it's critics by the season. It's just kind of looking more and more like the kind of low grade entertainment for fetishists that conservative critics and what not accuse it of being. Hell lately I feel like I've kind of wanted to join the critics of the anime scene if only out of a wish for some sort of change in direction albeit realizing that there's not much I can do or say that will change anything other than lament.

Even for a fantasy setting that is going too far. In medieval Japan they did not use metal armor or shields because the humid weather would turn them to rust in no time. or maybe Rust Monsters are as common as cows on the countryside. or maybe they are really macho about protection being for wimps (the zero fighter planes did embody this mantra in WWII, so it is not so unrealistic as it seems) and hindering their movements.

I will at least check it out, but this looks pretty trashy so far. Still, sometimes these kind of series will surprise you. (Blade and Soul actually eventually turned out to be better than what it looked like it would be, for instance.)

but who knows, maybe they'll go meta and it will be a critic about ecchi shows, like Princess Robot Bubblegum. [NSFW]

I always had the impression that otaku are frightened by women with athletic or physically strong appearances. They're the antithesis to moe.

The problem is that many insecure males feel their very existence is called into question when such a character appears and attack them under the flimsiest pretense, so they must be played as cameos, for comedy (i.e. Project A-KO) or as villains

You can't lump all otaku tastes into wanting meek KyoAni-esque prepubescent girls
