I must admit that when I saw her Kai-2 design, I was seriously wondering if it was really from the same artist.
I get the feeling that ayaki was trying to show an "artsyle" improvement kinda like bob, I still really like it, but it looks kinda different from what I had in mind. She looks and sounds really confident right now, and a redesigned uniform is great too. Btw do we have some sort of before-after tag? I would be really good for a picture like this.
