Time to add to Langrisser’s sins against basic sanity in costume design

This is Priestess Mariel Sarlus.  I mean, I know nuns are often sexualized anyways, but really?!?

One of the things I always find truly baffling about a lot of these designs is they’re not trying to find integrate the fantasy setting with the sexy design… they’re just cutting windows and adding clothes you’d find in a modern day lingerie catalog (or sex shop).

I mean… unless I’m supposed to believe that part of her role as priestess is to set some sort of example for pubis grooming.

Chaos Dragon and Gender Flips

You know, in the adaptation from one medium to another, Gender flips happen.  Most of the time, it’s actually to balance out a mostly male cast with some female characters, which is good.

Here’s what’s not good

This is from the anime Chaos Dragon, an adaptation of the light novel series based upon Gen Urobuchi and Kinoko Nasu’s tabletop game sessions.  This is Lou Zhenjie, Urobuchi’s character.  Notice the difference, beyond the genderswap, in how the character is treated?

It’s pretty terrible.

And people tell us that the parodies we feature are too ridiculous… I tend to think they’re not ridiculous enough!
