What a perfect post to start Bingo Sundays with! Kill la Kill is an anime notorious for the costumes that seem to be made to combo-break the Female Armor Bingo.
For a more comprehensive look at Ryuko’s costume design, let’s have a peek at the official model sheet:
Seeing that I have to say that the OP, redrovershideaway, was VERY LENIENT towards this character when filling the bingo card and skipped many obvious squares, so let me propose a redux:
Who knew? It gave us a bingo and filled total 60% of the card. What a surprise, huh! 😉
So we’ve decided now now, when it’s Sunday across the land – we’re going to reblog some bingo cards.
Regular Female Armor Bingo are eligible for reblogging provided they’re critiquing appropriate commercial works. Rhetoric Edition will be eligible for reblogging if they they are calling out an industry professional such as an artist, an executive, a journalist, etc.
If you’ve come across some bikini armor that’s made you cringe in sympathy pain, please feel free to fill in a bingo card and tag it “Female Armor Bingo” and you could be featured on a Sunday.
Not to mention that those ain’t even boots, it looks like just attached heels. There’s nothing there that suggests to me that those are full shoes and not just some bits strapped onto her suit like some sort of bizarre addition.
I won’t pretend that the excessive T&A in some games don’t irk me at times, but it does make me all the more appreciative when female armor in video games aim to be a bit more classy.
These are some of the sexiest sets I could find. They’re sexy because they’re badass, and show a female game character doesn’t need an exposed thong to kick some serious ass. I mean, she can wear whatever she wants to kick ass, but we all know we don’t always have a choice, and you can’t deny it isn’t as practical.
The one thing I love about the Bioware RPG operas is you you can play the exact same character as a male or female. Despite how monotonous DAII’s environments and questline was, I enjoyed the game (to an extent). Female Hawke armor is exactly the same as the male Hawke armor, so there’s no debate as to whether they over-sexualized fem-Hawke. Also it’s sexy as hell – look at that badass armored-claw!
I’m a big fan of the armor sets in Diablo III altogether; they really touched down on the personality of each class. The Monk has to be one of the most durable classes in the game, and their armor may be the most elegant. Again, the armor seems practical, doesn’t stray too far from the male version by adding extra boobage, and even looks comfortable!
The only other time you see Aela’s armor in a non-modded game of Skyrim is on any female draugr crawling around in acient tombs peppered around the map. It’s got this amazingly ancient style to it, and I love how she finishes the set off with some gritty warpaint. I always wondered how she stays warm on cold nights in Skyrim, but if you become a member of the Companions, you’ll find out.
I don’t think female dwarves get enough recognition as to just how unbelievably badass they are. They’re generally the lowest played races in most MMO’s, but can rock that heavy armor just as well as a male dwarf. I think the only reason I’d generally play a male dwarf over a female, is females don’t have beards. Slap a fancy, glittery beard on a fem-dwarf, and I’m good to go. High-level Ironbreaker gear in particular is so intricate and decorated, there’s no denying she looks freakin’ fabulous.
I know, I know, I love these guys. The unique thing about their cultural armor, is it’s a PART of them. There’s something so whimsical about sprouting your own armor…I had a hard time picking just one type to show off, so here’s a medley! I know some in the picture are male butwhatchugonnado?
Photo reply is on :p. What are your favourites?
I made it myself! Components include the hearts of my defeated foes!

Not particularly refined design-wise, but I have just sheer appreciation for complete gender-neutrality of this armor.
Costume Design Community Service seems to be either shut down or on hiatus, they’re a blog intended for this kind of review
Yup. I would recommend submitting the designs for to costumecommunityservice if not for the fact that this blog (which I highly recommend, BTW) stopped doing the reviews (went on hiatus with them?). Though it’s pretty understandable why, reviewing art takes a lot of time and effort (that’s why both of my reviews weren’t published right away).
