TIME FOR MOTHER FUCKING BINGO THAT’S WHAT TIME IT IS!

WHO’S OUR FIRST FUCKING CONTESTANT? WELL WE GOT

WELP! THEY REALLY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WITH EPISODE ONE! AND MIGHT I ADD THAT THEY’RE KILLIN’ IT OUT THERE WITH THAT HEAVY USE OF UNDERBOOB! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHERE WE’LL GO NEXT! STAY TUNED FOR MORE!

Until next time

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! 😉

For further commentary regarding Kill la Kill, I recommend this masterpost on repair-her-armor and the lengthy follow-up article on ria-rha.

Anyone willing to submit a bingo filled for Satsuki for the next week?

Zero Suit Samus’ Heels: Why it’s a Big Deal and Why You Should Care

capriceandwhimsy:

So the thing I keep hearing is that Samus’s new Zero Suit design from SSB4 is okay because “they’re not actually high heels, they’re jet boots.”

Bullshit.

But before we get into that: why is it a big deal that Samus is wearing heels in the first place?

Great article regarding character and costume design of Samus Aran throughout the years. Things to learn from it:

  • why slapping “jet boots” label on high heels doesn’t justify the heels
  • what Samus’s appearance conveyed in the old Metroid games and what it does now
  • why is Zero Suit worse than a two-piece skin revealing costume Samus used to have
  • how the recent games betrayed Zero Suit’s original purpose

I highly recommend reading it whole!

In addition, Shattered Earth did a great breakdown on the “Jet Boots” (Dr Evil air quotes there) and explored what they might have looked like if they were designed with purpose here.
