Can we just have Estival Versus be a game and ONLY a video game? This actually turned me off getting the game when it's localized for... Decades.

I'm curious about the reaction to this OVA from fellow board members/Senran Kagura fans. I haven't watched it since I don't think it has subs yet, but I do know it has nudity. Now the guy in me likes that fact, but it kind of ruins the series for me a little. SK always had the ecchi part to it but it was all in good fun. Now it seems a little less "pure," if that makes any sense given the series's content. I'd rather the series didnt go the Queen's Blade route, since it didnt begun as such in the first place. Also I kind of prefer the old animation better, but that's just taste.
So, what about you guys?

Why? IMO, nudity in SK is fucking pointless and EV should have just been kept as a video game only. But, speaking as a fan, this is just.. The worst disservice to the series ever.

For me personally, I just hope it sticks in the OVAs. If another anime adaptation of SK is made, I'd rather it stuck to the same amount of nudity as the original anime. Not any of that white light censor for the broadcast, nudity for the Blu-ray/DVD like Queen's Blade. That's just me though.

I'd rather there be no nudity but if Takaki REALLY wants to keep it, I would prefer it be in the OVAs.

HOWEVER! I will stand by my opinions that this is a disservice to the series as a whole, does no favors the people who've not played the games, and is just an dickploitation OVA. Furthermore, I still think EV should have STAYED a game and ONLY a game. {Ace's Final Thoughts}Well, I will admit, it was nice to see Ryona animated, this is not enough to save the OVA from failure. IF this ever get localized, download it digitally. Because if Funi licenses this, It's gonna... It's gonna be ugly, people.

Seriously though, I hope this is never repeated again.
The way SK skirted the line between showing suggestive imaginery and outright nudity was something that set the series apart from other echii series. Now with the OVA, not only cheapens the concept as whole it also turns the series into another echii more.
The worst thing though, is the kind of "fans" the ova is bringing.

But if the game sells well then it will be done again even more extreme like masterbation and stuff. If it sells they will continue.

Too many variables. Not enough time to come up with a mathematical equation to solve this.

After the failure that was SK2 they got desperate since both game were being made at the same time and SK2 fail could stop momentum for EV.

That's still to be seen.
The Vita version of EV didn't do that well either and the PS4 version had a much smaller run. Plus, the most vocal section of the japanese fandom is specially biased against SK2 for some reason.
I remember how the supposed bugs were brought again and again as MASSIVE ISSUES of SK2 and now, EV is plagued by bugs even AFTER a day 1 patch and the outrage is nowhere in the same scale.
