The hilarious front line in the tragic war against ridiculous female armor

If you were wondering what Konami has been doing with all those video game IPs since setting their games department on fire, here we are.
This is what Konami is subjecting their staff to Orwellian conditions in order to protect? Wait! EROTIC VIOLENCE is actually it’s tagline!? For a PACHINKO MACHINE!?
That’s it! I’m leaving! I’m going somewhere nicer.

Ugh. Where to begin?
Koihime Enbu is a fighting game based off of a visual novel series, and by god it shows. Aggressively generic designs left and right, same faced loli versions of historical figures like Saber was going out of style…
I wish this was an outlier
So… we should be legitimately scared that Sakura Fantasy will expand out into other genres. Presumably with the whole hearted support of those who want to decide what “is and is not a game”.

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.

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!

This is incredibly subtle
Subtle as a quiet fart in a loud room
Subtle as a rat in a sewer
Mind blowingly creative as well
So much creativity
Original as hell
SUBTLE AND CREATIVE!!!
I am currently screaming internally
Now, from what I could gather the publishers of this make both porn and mainstream products (apparently they do all the localisations for things like Dungeons and Dragons) and looking at this… I can’t work out which it’s supposed to be.
Apparently they were so concerned with making the generic designs so excitingly generic that they hired artists from across a spectrum of products to design the characters and seem to be pitching the story as sort of fantasy adventure.
I’m so confused…
