Wow, guys, Iowa, Intrepid, and now Fletcher. Are we really going to go through this B.S. every time they introduce an American KanMusu whose design isn't perfect?
She's got that Takanashi Hikari hair bun thingy, a whole bunch of nets, and it seems like all the Ameri-Kans but the DEs are going to be... carrying extra-thick chest armor.
The design overall feels a bit more Azur Lane-ish, with brighter colors and more fanciful accessories (those star hairpins with ribbons), but I guess maybe I'm just not used to the feel of Zeco's art yet.
Even if I don't agree with what they're saying, getting angry at randos over the Internet for having different tastes enough to just start posting angry comments about them is probably worse than having even silly criticisms of art. If they're arguing the merits (or lack thereof), you can too.
Anyway, considering the heels, maybe they're like ice skates, and you're only supposed to put them on just before you get in the water? Depending on if it's a magical girl-style transformation, they may just be mary janes that grow screws out the back, or if it's like the anime, they don't put them on until in the water, anyway. (It's not like carrying turrets and smokestacks on your back are practical, either.)
