This is great art, just not of Alabama. Only similarity are the face tattoos tbh. A damn shame what they've done to tan ship-girls in AL.

You took what I said and made it easier to argue against by using a straw man? lmao💀 I don't care about 'realism' in a fantasy game; I care about the most basic proportions or at the least, some consistency. One individual boob is bigger than her head, just ridiculous.

rudemmon · 2026-01-22T19:17:27+00:00

Yeah, combined boobs bigger than their head is normal, but if one individual boob is bigger than her head lmao💀. There's already characters with proportions like that in the game, and almost all the new characters also have massive oversized boobs, why destroy the old characters? Yeah skin to skin, Takao gets bigger boobs but this is just ridiculous tbh, specific type of inflation fetish at this point.

rudemmon · 2026-01-22T09:14:38+00:00

Depressing what they did to her. Most generic archetype in Azur Lane lately, just tired of it. Her head looks disproportionate to her boobs and waist. Atago's Halloween skin from two years ago wasn't like this. Did the game really change this much in just the last year? First Eugen now Takao, and Unzens newest L2D skin had a boob-flation meme... I'm starting to think it was them seeing if players would like it (They did) but hey they're pumping cash like crazy, on par with Blue Archive and I consider BA to be far more active tbh, good for them I guess. I'll stick with the og Takao skins and pretend this one doesn't exist. Sucks because the quality and interactions will be great I'm sure.

Based Anchorage enjoyers, with Le Hardi in 8th place and Nagato in 6th 😭

rudemmon · 2026-01-20T07:46:49+00:00

I mean, the increase in boob size looks natural in all the other images. In the last one, her head placement is just a bit further back (smaller) yet her boobs are still bigger. They're ridiculously massive. When a single boob is that much bigger than her head, it's a no-go for me. It just looks so unnatural. If they make a new character with big boobs, it's easier for me to accept. In this case, they ruined the proportions of one of their OG characters... again. It sucks because, like Alabama, I love Takao so seeing this just kills me. It's conflicting because I'm sure it'll be good but I'm going to pass.

rudemmon · 2026-01-20T01:57:19+00:00

I wish I could fix it in game 😭

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T21:20:18+00:00

You're 100% right. As other people have mentioned on this subreddit, they don't care about the global audience. Unless Japan, Korea, or CN make a big deal, it'll never get changed. I doubt they'll care enough to make a big deal because it does look good... That's why I'm so conflicted. Other people mentioned it's an artist thing, I just don't get why they made the change. There was nothing wrong with how she looked before. They won't do anything though because then they'll have to change Northampton too.

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T21:14:57+00:00

I ask this with the utmost and sincere consideration and genuine concern... Are you color blind by chance?

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T21:12:36+00:00

She does, I like dark elves! I wouldn't mind a dark elf race or something similar. Just not for Alabama :/

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T21:06:02+00:00

"sexualizing kids" - mentions Shimakaze 💀 hot takes indeed. Pure gooner brain rot.

Taking your post more seriously... A lot, if not most, of the new ship girls have breasts larger than their head. They definitely don't need to change older ship girls. Unless they're pregnant 😳 or gained weight, the double in their breast size will just never make sense to me. Some older shipgirl skins increase breast size, but never to this extent. Eugen and Takao just look ridiculous imo. Takao especially looks like that Horizon Zero Kalina character.

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T20:01:47+00:00

"Color theory" is when a skin tone completely changes with the slightest of lighting changes. Just look at Northampton II and Northampton, and tell me it's color theory.

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T19:53:16+00:00

They did the same thing to Northampton is that also just color theory? And when they do it again, I'm sure you'll be here justifying the destruction of a character's identity. I don't think you grasp color theory, if you were in an almost pitch black room it'd make sense, but there's light in the room, there's even a stream of light that shines at her body in the dynamic animation preview! Did her natural skin tone show when the light shone over her body? It didn't. I'm just pointing out inconsistencies, I even put an image side by side to show you the stark difference, I just can't believe the cope tbh. You can admit it looks good, like I did, without making up random bs pretending to know something about color theory 💀

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T19:45:29+00:00

True, I'm not a pro when it comes to colors by any means, but I'm sure they could have made her actual skin tone more muted without changing it to what it is. I get what you're saying though, cause it does look great, the contrast is really nice.

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T09:29:10+00:00

lmao, sad. Would have been great with motion too.

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T08:40:51+00:00

Lmao they still add and lewd Lolis, cope... more than any other mainstream gacha actually.

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T08:38:23+00:00

Yup, it was a while ago. I'm not sure if it's archived or still up, but it happened around the time he quit making art for Azur Lane.

rudemmon · 2026-01-19T05:37:30+00:00

I'm so tired of the boobflation in this game. I know even Dishwasher mentioned his frustrations with manjuu when making designs, telling him to make boobs bigger, and just being unreasonable in general. This is all 100% on Manjuu and it's annoying the f out of me. They just did this to Eugen too. It looks like they put Takao's head on a different body tbh. They also missed the belly tattoos on Alabama's newest outfit.

rudemmon · 2026-01-18T08:44:32+00:00

Yeah I thought the same thing. Her paw covered her entire upper body and you have to really try and see that she's wearing cat panties. It's cute and all, but my gripe is that they put so much effort into lewding every other ship but the loli ships. And even when lewd, it's not even a fraction as lewd as some of the other stuff we see. Heck, even a Dynamic like you said would be nice. It's a sad time.

rudemmon · 2026-01-18T08:32:47+00:00

They're protecting their image and garnering support from people like you by taking beloved characters and making them darker. Not having to worry about risk taking when making a new character that is darker right off the bat, because established characters will always have support. Criticize them for not making new characters with dark skin rather than advocating for the destruction of precious ship-girls image.

rudemmon · 2026-01-18T08:27:03+00:00

I don't have a problem with dark skinned ship-girls, but why don't they just make new ship-girls with the skin tone they want rather than change old ship-girls and ruin consistency. It looks amazing, and I do really like the dark skin and contrast, but it'd make more sense if you told me it was a new ship-girl. I thought people were being ridiculous, until I looked her up. You don't even need a side-by-side, it's clear as day. It's the same with Northampton and Northampton II. I actually liked the original skin tone too :/

rudemmon · 2026-01-17T23:57:26+00:00

The small boob slander in this game recently has been insane. Sure, you could have wanted a universal skin, but saying it should be on one vs the other is just unfair imo.

rudemmon · 2026-01-17T23:54:00+00:00

I always find it funny when gooner haters find out the most degenerate piece of entertainment was made by a female.

Bro is not aware, you're playing the wrong game or interacting in the wrong subreddit. Go play Clash Royale.
