Some of the female Blade designs are downright bizarre, at once incredibly risqué yet entirely too grotesque or exaggerated to read as sexy.

I'm all up for Senran or Nep, they're solid games even if they only distinguish themselves for their otaku appeal and decent girl design, but if they become the norm instead of the exception like its happening with anime It would be the same as AAA garbage for me.
I mean, Shimoneta and Prison School show how you can make a great shows with lewd premises, Key VN based shows give out cutesy and feels, Gintama is still showing everyone how to make a fucking gag manga/anime, Drifters showed me Hirano is still based as fuck and gave me some 90s edge I haven't seen in a while outside seeing Hellsing Ultimate and yet garbage like Dragon Maid, Eromanga Sensei and FUCKING UMARU still pops up and is popular with people praising it and being entry tier anime to many poor souls.

I was talking about the premise and the ideas executed with them which Dragon Maid barely uses and as such makes the whole premise useless.
The show could have worked dragons or no dragons.
It really feels like I'm watching a less batshit insane Mahou Shoujo where the girls use their magic to not fuck up their daily lives, but instead of being a segment its a whole fucking show and more tame somehow despite having social inept Dragons.

I don't understand this. In an anime like JoJo people will explain what they are thinking, what they are about to do, what they are doing, and what their opponent is doing, often multiple times. Their emotions, actions, and reactions are all exaggerated. Are they really having trouble following what is going on?

> the “Xeno” in the title refers back to 1998’s Xenogears and 2003’s Xenosaga. The former was a PlayStation RPG so grand in its design that the second half of the game ran out of budget and became a six-hour monologue punctuated by boss battles; the latter was Takahashi’s attempt to retell Xenogears through a six-chapter PlayStation 2 epic that ended up being compacted down to three.
> the latter was Takahashi’s attempt to retell Xenogears
I don't expect them to have actually played them, but do these assholes even do basic research? The hype about Xenosaga was always that, in entirety, it was episode 1 of Xenogears (which itself was XG episode 5)

I can partially understand a reviewer's frustration when they have to power through a game that takes 100+ hours to beat with tons of sidequest content and mechanics that they'll never fully understand because they are brainlets, because their job necessitates rushing through games as fast as possible so they can shit out a review and scrape together a few thousand clicks and views. They created an industry for themselves that entirely relies upon getting shit out as fast as possible to exploit search algorithms and trends. The fact that they are even reviewing this game is surprising right up until you realize that they are probably trying to leech a little attention off of Nintendo's success with the Switch by rushing to talk about each and every high profile release.
At any rate, the point stands: They wanted a job where they play and write about video games.. So they have to actually play the fucking game. If they weren't such soulless retards and were even half as smart as they pretend to be, they might even be able to say something intelligent about the deeper systems and design philosophy that went into the game, instead of whinging about tropes and anime like the goony faggots they are.

They're right though - all those xeno games have awful anime trope filled writing that wouldn't even pass in a 4th generation JRPG yet alone a modern one.
Don't get me wrong, some of them are good games, but fucking hell the writing in them is garbage.

And in the immediate next paragraph they contradict this with
>Takahashi and Monolith have always drawn inspiration from trendy anime franchises — Xenogears was basically a Neon Genesis Evangelion fanfiction — and the obvious nods to the likes of JoJo feel right in line with that. Some of the female Blade designs are downright bizarre, at once incredibly risqué yet entirely too grotesque or exaggerated to read as sexy. The story gains more and more layers as you advance, never abandoning its love of tropes and clichés but rather piling up so many of them atop one another that the narrative feels unlike that of any other game… except, perhaps, others bearing the Xeno- prefix.
