Hunter (designed by Shining Hearts character designer Tony).

That's Valkyrie though.
I wonder if the anime for Nanatsu no Taizai (another series of figures) was actually cancelled after all... those delicious Niθ designs...

Heheh, don't really mind whether people watch or not. Just realize that they're doing what Hollywood's been doing. Including the Monster High figures - how many of ya guys rolled your eyes on that one too? And how can we forget Girls Gone Wild? We're no different. Laughing

This is WHY Anime is getting hated on!!! WHY -_-

Anime's always been hated on for dozens of reason, just accept it. No amount of wholesomeness now will ever undo La Blue Girl's and Urotsukidoji's impressions on people, and that was two decades ago.


Used to be edgy sex 'n violence, now it's teenagers 'n panties Laughing

It would seem that this anime will feature scantily-clad women, rife with clichéd descriptions, and they have extraordinary powers & abilities, and that causes a lot of users to make quite the colorful responses; but who knows, maybe they'll go meta and it will be a critic about ecchi shows, like Princess Robot Bubblegum. [NSFW] Laughing Embarassed


Ya mean this one: https://youtu.be/t1DX7J6DujE?t=195



As the wise Master Yogurt would teach us: merchandising, merchandising, merchandising! Laughing

This was definitely a thing seen in many societies: warriors tended not to be heavily armored and went into battled dressed to impress(hence things like warpaint). A lot of complaints about practical armor seem to base their ideas on the armor worn by heavy infantry(or even heavy cavalry), a concept missing from even great empires and distinctly at odds with the roles played by the criticized characters, which tend to be at the light infantry/skirmisher level. It's not realistic, but it's more so than the "realistic" armor often called for as its replacement.


BTW, ya guys know there's a medieval sport on MMA and ESPN? Doesn't stop the Medieval Combat World Championships! Laughing

Granted, alot of ecchi shows flop. However, in merchandising terms, big boobs are almost the cosmic karma for good sales. After all, most otaku are male, aged 16=25. Of course, boobs will sell. The bigger they are, and the more they show.....

Well, let's see how this will go. I'll watch it for the laughable titty physics as always.

Why? Boob sell. Big boobs sell better. Never underestimate the power of overt sexism to sell figures and other goodies to otakus.


Big boobs don't always sell, plenty of ecchi shows flop. I won't be surprised at all if this flops, especially since it's airing with stuff like toLoveru which already has a large disc buying fanbase.

@Kadmos1 Thank you as i didn´t know of the sequel to Princess Robot Bubble Gum in Gta V (current gen only i see) despite me putting 50 hours into the original game.
They nailed shitty voice acting / the "postmodern otaku" and let´s see how part 3 will look like but i will note that it is better animated than most tv anime which very bad. The problem with anime isn´t the medium. It´s the fanbase. (Gta V´s Gordon Moorehead Rides Again is pretty good too.)

I am pretty sure they ditched said project because they would open themselves to a lawsuit since they are using the same name of a now famous shounen anime, They probably are using the budget from said previous project to make Bikini Warriors.

There were also those Scottish warriors of old who would step into the battlefield completely naked as an intimidation tactic.

In all seriousness, I'd bet it's simply based on how someone who's decapitated won't live for very long afterwards.

That is a true statement for SO many franchises and companies. Unfortunately, a bad fanbase can ruin the original product if the creators listen too much to their fans (Sonic the Hedgehog comes to mind, for one).

I'm pretty sure that's the case, although any attempt at a joke has been well destroyed by now.

As for naked Scots warriors, always thought that was because of the breacan, or body-length kilt, being too cumbersome in battle.
