So yeah this image is for a dakimura of senkou and gekkou and the interview piece about Takaki leaving Marvelous where it's a bit more detailed of an article going a bit more into his reasons.htttps://twinfinite.net/2019/03/senran-kagura-producer-quit-marvelous-cygames/and just so I'm not repeating what I originally said which you can find hereand I do still stand by it. the only thing to add on is while I do wish him luck in what he wants to do over at Cygames and yeah it's cool he's got the title of big titty producer but I can't really say I'm sympathetic to his reasons cause again yes sony's regulations suck which as anyone can point out is easily managed by changing platforms such as PC or Nintendo and again goes back to what I said about how other creators who have it a lot harder than he does when it comes to these censorships but they managed to work around those limitations cause being creative with your imagination despite limitations shows how far you can go in your work even if you lack one aspect that works and to those who have been with SK since day 1, you all know that the series can work even with restrictions on sex appeal which again you can look at fairy tail and Neptunia in work with those limitations. hell even dead or alive after 6's mishaps made the smart choice of opening up to other platforms so they aren't being limited. a big difference however is DOA despite the blowback from 6 can still survive as people can talk about the lore of DOA and its characters where SK does have that issue in world building, story, and character developments. Yeah I get he said sex gags for the humor but that's basically adam sandler logic right there where you're only doing one form of comedy and never really improving the craft. his replies to that doesn't hold up since on the one hand we do get some laughs but at the same time he adds these darker elements from the first 2 games that still apply a bit to the current games and the whole end of the world plot points. Neptunia this works fine but the creators and story writers learned from each game in what worked and what doesn't which is how they can balance comedy and story. for SK the mix of that same formula seems confused because the product through Takaki in how does his games in terms of main installments says he wants us to take it somewhat seriously but then also not and that usually backfires eventually.and nowhere is that more evident than in the season 2 anime last fall where the story and characters were all over the place and things didn't really pay off and had lower ratings than the season 1 anime and the sales of the blu rays don't seem to be helping in the bounce back. So, all of these things and the recent reviews for games like PBS, Burst Renewal, and even the switch titles such as peach ball and reflexions yeah they sell but critically were viewed as average. it's kind of like of how you can tell people a really terrible movie made a lot of money but audience reactions show people did not like that movie or viewed it as "meh". While yeah sony may have had some part in all this like it says in the article I don't think that's the entire story in terms of his reasons since I think between the recent stuff in how people have reviewed the games recently, the low ratings of the season 2 anime, the app game while hanging in there struggling a bit to keep up with the top rated app games, and sadly the attempt to make a new start with valkyrie drive in both game and anime formats not being well recieved by people for various reasons and reviews on those 2 not what he was hoping for although to be fair the game held up better than the anime, I do think a lot these set backs and fails to certain degrees(season 2 anime was a definite fail) have all really taken their toll on him since a guy who has managed to meet 5 years of success is now being hit with a set of less than successful and failed projects I don't think he was mentally prepared for despite being in his 40's and would think he knew this can happen sometimes.So yeah, again I do wish him luck in his endeavors but it's just I don't think he'll be able to pull off something on the levels of final fantasy or devilman like he's hoping to mostly cause when looking over those 2 examples he brought up and looking over Takaki's work in how he handles stories and characters, I don't think he's going to be able to pull off stuff on those levels since those require a lot of forethought planning and story telling that's for the most part outside his ability since he has yet to really show he can do it. I don't have anything against his sexual gag humor for SK or even Valkyrie Drive but if he's hoping to do something like he said in the interview he needs to show through his works that he can do it and show he's capable of working under levels of pressure required of those kind of projects.I'm just putting this out to once again put my personal thoughts about the situation cause I do feel like Takaki is going about this the wrong way and as I'm sure plenty of youtubers such as No Bullshit, The Quartering, and Raging Golden Eagle and even can tell and show you this is how pretty much the SJW NPC side that's pushing for these censorships tend to claim victories. by essentially showing you've given up and they somehow broken you where had Takaki stuck it out and put some real creative thought he could've been the one to turn things around where one's creativity can break through in various ways even if he can't be as direct with the fanservice right now.that's all I got to say and with this I'll get to posting the the cards that came out this week for new wave but in the meantime while I prepare I would like to hear your thoughts on this. as for why the article link is in plain text well it's just DA has random spasms on what's okay to post a link to and what's not okay to post a link to and if you have trouble let me know so I can help find it for you.
