It looks like the Arcana Heart lolis were violated by furries and this is the hideous spawn.
Fuck it's as though for some twisted reason people decided to try and brainstorm how they could make Arcana Hearts less marketable/more creepy. Why the hell would anybody want to do that?

Early alpha gameplay that was shown around, I believe before there was an official company behind the project.

I like the animation but the art style is atrocious

Looks bad.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
This is going to be hilariously bad. Can't wait to download the demo and laugh all the way until I delete it and never give it a second thought.

Damn. It's getting harsh in here.
Though I'm not a necessarily a fan of the art direction, I'll at least give the demo a try.

Art was shown for this game like two years ago (we had it in Girls of Gaming in '09 I think it was), so this is a project that's been in development for a while.
And I don't know why everybody's dogging it. I don't think it looks bad (visually) at all, and no way can we judge the gameplay until it's out.

Potential for "so bad it's good" here. Will give it a try for laughs.

I've personally been following this game's development for years, so I'm looking forward to seeing it released. I'm still on the fence on its gameplay and I won't know until I have it in my hands. That was a pretty godawful trailer though.

Might be interesting even though it is somewhat eccentric looking. It's a fighting game, so I will at least try it. As long as it plays good, that is my primary concern.

They're not trying to get in on any Sucker Punch hype, this game has been in development since at least 2006. Check the date on the art.

Mike Z being behind the game I have some confidence in how it'll play, the guys knows his GG/BB so it'll probably play pretty well. Don't really see where people are getting the "game looks like shit" vibe from, apart from maybe the style.
Heard Mori and Ishiwateri from Arcsys liked it, too. But I dunno.

Pfft.
I'd buy 10
Really weird how people are citing everything from Suckerpunch to Panty and Stocking, when the art style is clearly a very western street art anime filter style.
You don't make lines that thick without a western tang (or at the very least, an indie comic artist tang).
I think what the dev's doing is pretty damn ambitious. The real question will be whether or not it'll play well. I'm just glad its not XBL exclusive.

Nice.
I wasn't expecting a console release. I was fully expecting this to end up on PCs.
Will buy to support Western developers who aren't rubbish, I hope, at fighting games (Ed Boon, Midway, Mortal Kombat) and indie developers.

Should be obvious.
Game industry loses confidence in genres when they don't sell, and gains confidence in genres when they start to sell again. Genres never completely die, just casual fans lose interest in them.
I feel bad for folks who don't remember what it was like to walk into an arcade and spend time on SF2, Darkstalkers, SamSho, and Virtua Fighter in one trip.
I like fighting games. I like sprites. I like supporting the small guy, I'll give this a shot.
I'm just afraid since Mike Z is from MvC/BB school of game play. D:
