Like,
I don't care of this artist's preference,
if they want to draw something else,
or like something and go into it,
but when seeing someone going from GOD-TIER to F-tier.
From a blockbuster that changed THE YURI OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY COMMUNITY, to THIS ?

Its no longer anger-inducing, but just sad. Very very sad.

Err...uh, the 'cutesy' trend in anime/manga design is currently hot-topic nowadays, so I guess I can understand the art style shift. Got to rake in money after all, and for many illusts, a consistent art style won't get them dough to pay their bills.

I blame the idol culture of mid-2010s for the sudden shift. Retro-style anime art has more personality than the ones we have today.

Yep you are correct.
In fact, ANYONE fan of the IP knew they changed for this reason BUT

But sadly, the art shift, was DURING THE 2010
and during the PEAK of the IP.
AND NO valid reason to try changing (also the image i gave is good but their new style before was atrocious)

As a fellow crazy genius, i can relate to them making crazy decisions.
But it still pains me.

Hm. Did you put the pictures in the wrong order? The second one is definitely better made.

They both have children being sexualized, so that doesn't seem to be the problem either...

I'm a little confused.

Trope.

The artist
is like a genius doing a serial horror movie series.

Loved by MANY and even placarded into history(culture).

then 4th iteration of it.
"I want to try to do nonsensical comedy"
+ "I want to incorporate it into my [loved-by-whole-country] horror movies too"
= worsen
= worse MORE
= WORSEN EVEN MORE

My bad my bad
like i said, i gave wrong example. This image is indeed good (very recent)

I better change into a better example of their "change" at that time.

Seems like you're having trouble with nostalgia. I too like the style of games and art that was popular when I was younger.

Look back the 2 comparisons.

I added a new one to "Before" + Edited 2nd one.
Its not nostalgia.

Also.
FACT : They hired a NEW ARTIST later on. For sono hanabira. (though for some reason they totally stopped the IP from getting new releases)

To tldr : Old firefox icon VS NEW one
Is it nostalgia ? No. Its simply facts that they "moemoe- simplified" it.

Well...from someone who went a similar transformation before...

While artworks with much details are eye-candies, fact remains that it is hard to draw again and again. Artist remedy include retracing and/or simplifying designs.

Cutesy art in anime has its audience, but I still prefer my characters having personalities, hence I stick to my artstyle.
