Well, I finally got around to doing it. I mentioned I wanted to briefly talk about something recently and here it is. A 30+ post thread of brain gooping, though much of it is just images and links. Not really in-depth at all.

Doubt anyone cares, much less likes the franchise, but I wanted to do it.

There's this particular franchise I'm very fascinated by. But despite how surprisingly massive it is, it's actually quite obscure. So much so that there's barely any coverage on it, this one blog being the only one I can even find about it.

Maybe it's just me but when I saw N.B.'s design for "Kyouran Makaism", it immediately reminded me of Diez. They aren't the same of course but something about them are occupying a similar space in my head.

They feel almost gruffier and sharper compared to prior male Harada designs.

Out of everything in this thread, this is what gets auto-flagged as sexually suggestive. The power of feminine abs was too much.

I want to appeal this cause it's barely anything, especially compared to some of the other entries. But I don't know if I should be drawing attention of mods to this.

Though I must specify, I'm leaving out the named generics that are simply reskins in design. So more like Barbara, not so much Main Hero B.

The vibes from this is giving me a mixture of "Blue Reflection" and "Crystar", with a smidgen of Vanillaware presentation.

So in other words, yes please.

And that's it for now. As more get added, I'll be sure to...

Huh? What about the Diez variants?

Yeah, what about the Diez variants. Poor guy hasn't ever gotten any. Unlike Lucy who is the clear favorite. Just kind of how it goes I guess.

At least he still shows up in events from the looks of it.
