While the announcement of a 2nd season for Dagashi Kashi has prompted a celebration amongst many, more critical fans have been upset at the preview of Hotaru’s new design, a result of previous studio Feel being replaced by Tezuka Productions.
Hotaru’s design in the first season:
Her new season 2 design:
The show’s other characters have apparently gone unchanged:
The ire had for Hotaru’s new design has caused many to start searching for character designs of other shows that have also degraded with subsequent seasons and other such comparisons:
Some of the incendiary responses to the tasteless new design:
“Seriously look at this. It’s fucking tragic.”
“But yeah the character designs this time around look like shit compared to s1.”
“I enjoyed the first season, but for whatever reason they changed the character designer so that’s a good start to ruining a show.”
“The character design was the most memorable part of the show!”
“The hot candy girl doesn’t look as hot anymore.”
“I guess this is the price one pays for having less Saya”
“Is that supposed to be Hotaru? Man, she looks way bad.”
“Well the original studio fucked it up pretty good so hopefully this will be an improvement.”
“I’m gonna miss the freaky stoner eyes.”
“Ruined”
“Holy shit what the fuck happened to the characters?”
“I really hope they don’t remove Hotaru’s Rinnegan”
“What dumbdown of quality.”
“What the FUCK happened?”
“Why the fuck would you make a second season and make it ugly? What, do you think people watched it for the good story?”
“how can someone fuck up so bad?”
Its like watching that ubisoft E3 demos vs retail version
i love how for the “other shows that degraded”
most of the second pictures look better than the first
The art quality may looks lower, sure, but to say Hotaru has been “moefied” is completely fucking wrong.
just give hotaru the rinnegan back and all is fine
that flat-chested F1 girl really got a boost. A gargantuan one.
haha yeah
Me shocking lol
