Those boots are still stupid, your ankles are stuck in uncomfortable position and those equipments on thighs seem to stay up with holy spirit since there are no straps or anything.
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?
it's leg armor, also the leg rigging's also slotted into them.
I realize it's armor/guard of sorts but its also part of the shoes so im unsure how to call them.
And the rigging being part of them is even more reason to have something to support/strap them up, since those must weight considerably. If there is nothing supporting them, those would probably fall of or at very least kind of sag uncomfortably to the front.

You realize how many shipgirls have rudder heels?
Rudder heels are part of the heels and don't really affect anything.
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.
Welcome to the Internet. You must be new if you still feel the urge to say that anymore.
I guess i expected more of fellow shipgirl enthusiasts, rookie mistake i admit.

I feel you, the fanciful gear feels its more in the field of AL. Personally, not a fan, especially not the boots/leg gear. Otherwise the back gear and outfit looks pretty nice.
Imo colors are good, it's kinda distinct. Strong blue, red and white feel very american. Wonder if it will be theme of following USS (DD) shipgirls.
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.)

AzurLane(2017) does share some similarities to KC in general unlike current AL, so everytime i see people pointing out that the new KC shipgirls look AzurLane-like is probbaly just because Saru and Zeco have similar styles and outside of AL most people just remember the first batch of kansens, because when i see Fletcher and then I look at the recent Fletcher-class kansens the different couldnt be more telling.
Also i believe they are taming down the designs in KC, a good example is Amatsukaze Kai Ni and recet damage arts.
