#this is also why i still think sakou was pretty close compared to the other 2 designers#theres nothing in takahashis design thats manga based except for costume design and even then the vibe is ALL off#infact he was closer to shinsobans style back in s1/2! just takahashis style frfr is literally a nothing style#a blank slate for tadano to jump off of to make her weird 90s pug face amalgam#its not exactly Itoh's 90s but its not exactly manga either... not really shinsoban... but its clsar shes tryna mimick Itohs 90s#ill even be funny and say sakou took from Tamegai cus the bangs are kinda similar in fluffiness and shape#and he even went to be more manga accurate (in a 90s anime era anyway)#he still had to jump off itoh obviously cus obligations contuing from the last season#i have a post in it but like she used kanzenban for sure sakou said so herself but she wanted it to be a more modern esque style which like#honest to god ill never know what that means cinsidering loli and moe is the trend for the past decade#but blending cute and elegant was the goal and thats naokos style its cute and elegant not just cute#the bodyshape too in sakous style is very tankobon era while kanzenban and shinsoban is more like a brick tm#trapezoid shaped#she was close honest to god#thats probably why ppl think our style is some weird take on Crystal like its not though#its purely manga based (escpet for mamoru cus no good references)#like its not crysyal fanart its manga fanart to its very core#it just feels like a better sakou style cus sakou was actually *that* close to hitting a similar jackpot#like idk persinally she was pretty close just needed a lot of work she didnt have time for#our design took much longer (years) than hers (months)#and theres even 20 years of work behind our design cus ive been studying Naoko's style since I was like 10 years old
