Models for one look weird, they lack the quality shown on Versus' models. And I can't help but be wary after how lacking Neptunia U was. Yeah, as you said this game looks like a poor's man Senran Kagura, also VD has many clashing artstyles over it, also the overdesigned weapons that is not well replicated over the Vita's resolution and hardware. I would say that's partially because this is a new art style for them. SK has had years of honing the models and designs for that, but from what I understand, it's getting harder and harder to make anime-style graphics on consoles these days, so making a new art style on this rather than updating models they have already might be difficult. Neptunia U was a different animal entirely. While this is part of a big and ambitious new franchise that Marvelous owns, that was a collaboration project and spinoff title for someone else's franchise. While I'm not saying they didn't put as much effort into it or they didn't try their hardest, it was probably likely meant to more be filler, or simply an experiment, between bigger Neptunia releases, rather than something truly big, whereas this is a "big" release for this franchise. Incidentally, Tamsoft is also making another Neptunia title, so we can see how that's improved soon too if it's the same kind of game. Senran Kagura style is distinctive and clean so is really easy to draw and port it to 3d models over the Vita, similary to Pokemon over the Nintendo hardware. But as I said VD has lots of clashing artstyles over it, because at the screenshots the bodies looks pretty much the same than the SK girls just with another head, that is why looks a bit weird.

Honestly, I... actually think the screenshots look much better than the anime trailers and art have so far myself. I wasn't really liking the designs before.

Why would that be? If anything I'd think it'd get easier with better tech.

If anything Bhikkhuni will be great, but the anime may not be. Remember Senran Kagura games range from above average to great, the anime couldn't get to the minimal above average tier the game have become. It depends on the direction and if AT-X gets this uncensored.

I think the difference here might be that while SK's anime was an adaptation, it sounds like this is a multimedia project where part of the product is the anime itself, so it's probably going to have a lot more care. We'll see though.

Looks okay to me. Am not super impressed by the fairly generic character designs... Artwork seems fine though so will keep track of it! Add a dope story and I'm in!

Maybe? If that's the case, whatever Compile Heart uses is the case since they're the ones that said it was harder on a PS4 if I remember right.

Very, very excited for this franchise. It looks like it could be an unhinged Senran Kagura; by which I mean, we'll get some full-on yuri, rather than eternally waiting for Asuka and Homura to kiss. Plus, the concept looks fun, and it's bound to have some over-the-top fanservice considering the director of Manyuu Hikenchou and Qwaser is behind the anime, heh. Combine that fanservice with yuri, and you've got interest immensely piqued.
Of course, there's plenty of room for this franchise to go bad, such as inserting a male character or having the story get really grimdark, but I'll put my faith in Takaki to deliver some quality and fun and fanservice with his new franchise.

Wait a minute... this series is developed by Takaki? o.o Too bad it's for Vita... por Vita u.u It's great that it's for Vita! Also, I mentioned this in a now-closed thread about EV's sales, but I was wondering if this might end up replacing Senran Kagura on handhelds. If EV's console debut was positive enough, the series might move there permanently (and thus not need to hold back in order to make the handheld version not too different), and so this could be what handheld gamers get as Senran moves up in the world. Just a theory though. I'd be ideal (to me) if SK could just have a little of everything.
