Well, it's based on Strive so that fits pretty well. Strive really toned itself down to try to bring in new players to the franchise. I wish we got an anime back during the X or XX days myself.

I assume Venom will be revealed for the anime after his DLC reveal trailer for the game is released; don't want to spoil us on his new design after all.

Looks about as expected from the material released previously. Very safe and overly focused on the very boring looking new OC. Throw in Bridget in there because we need to sell a few more new figures.

"Throw in bridget" meaning she's standing at the back of a crowd scene. No more shameless pushing could even be imagined.

She's right there on the poster with all the characters who are actually plot relevant. You would need to actually open the article you're posting on to know that though, I understand that's too much to ask for.

Shame that a game that used to be known for gorgeous 2D animation is being done in CG.

Also guessing this was in production before Dizzy was announced for Strive... or maybe even the anime staff agrees new Dizzy is just awful and went back to her Xrd design. I wish it was all Xrd.

I'm still surprised Kaihou was brought on when Ishiwatari claimed he made changes to XX's story without consulting him.

It's being done in CG presumably to match the look of Xrd and Strive, and it helps that Sanzigen were the ones who animated the music video for Strive's first anniversary.

Also, Dizzy's new outfit isn't "awful". It wouldn't have fit the aesthetics of the old games, but with Strive moving away from those aesthetics (damn you, "broad appeal") and her now being a queen, it's no surprise that she'd have a fancier look. As for why she's in her Xrd outfit, the show being set before her marriage to Ky means it's before her becoming queen, and thus before her Strive look.

It might actually explain why her one wing is screwed up in Strive, compared to her Xrd design, since this is supposedly canon (and takes place post-Strive) anyway.
