Musical anime White Album has a long history, starting off as an adult game by Aquaplus, and being adapted into a manga, an anime and a PS3 visual novel.
The character designs show some notable changes throughout:
The PC version:
The manga:
The anime:
The PS3 version:
The PC version illustrated is actually the “Renewal” version; sad voices have been raised at the fact that it still doesn’t come close to the PS3 version’s character designs…
I'm not too fond of their new designs or "Re-designs". Just look at Tears to Tiara, true, some characters needed a better design but some others were fine in the original. Riannon, Arthur and Ogam were just fine on the PC version, now on the ps3 they look like generic fantasy game characters (Arhur and Riannon) and Ogam looks like he was taken out from Gears of War.
What is worse is that we're going to see more of this style, their new PC game released last month used the same style as the T3 PS3 version.
>true, some characters needed a better design but some others were fine in the original.
Read again Mr. Admin, I said some were fine (Now i don't vomit when i look at Morgan or the pink haired maid) but the ones i mentioned were just fine in the original PC version.
And IMO, this new style looks plain "generic". Looking back at games like Utawarerumono, To heart (and sequels), comic party or T3 you could say they all look the same, but that was Leaf/Aquaplus for you, the same unique style that made "moe designs" look gorgeous.
I don't know why you put this kind of picture to show design for the anime because this pic is only an art to promote the anime while the look of the real anime is much better.
Like all design... anime too, but not this pic, but the one in the actual anime.
Oh wow...all of it looks WAY better than the anime XD
Big question tho does the PS3 version have the H content? or is it child friendly like all PS2 ports were?
PS3 character design beats the PC by a long shot. Much like Higurashi, huge improvements have been made.
Aquaplus has their own kind of style of drawing, I got kinda used to it. Like those faces of the PS3 version.

Hard to see it as anything but a huge improvement?

PS3 wins my heart.
I'd go with the PC because of it's an eroge

PS3 -> T2'-ed?
I'm not familiar with this anime but Nana Mizuki is as elegant sounding as ever.
Love the PS3 and Manga designs

I really liked hte manga design. Hated the anime design.
Hmmm PC version...
