Are the new Academy skins a tribute to Anime?

I mean other then Ahri's obvious reference by wearing a sailor fuku of course. Darius looks like a boss of his high school gang, slimier to the bosses of Beelzebub. Ekko seems to belong to a more sci-fi themed Anime with the head phones and what not, While Vladimir just looks like he belongs to a posh school like in vampire knight.

Overall i quit like the skins,my only complaints being Ahri getting a skin again (even though i get how she is ridiculously popular) and Vlad looking more like a teacher,or maybe that was the intention.I especially like Darius and find him attractive for the first time.Since he looks way to roided out on his other skins. What do you all think?

Kinda disappointed in Ekko. I really want a skin for him. I just wasn't feeling the desert theme after we had 6 billion desert skins, so I was super excited. When I saw it...didn't even know what it was supposed to be. Someone said he's supposed to be nerdy, which, I guess it could be? He just seems to be green, oddly dressed ekko to me. Hopefully they do some more work on him.

that's the feeling i get from the darius skin (mixed with the tunnel snakes from fallout3)

I think Ekko is a 2kewl4skool kid. Neither his nor Darius's make a lot of sense. They still look good, and 5.16 has a lot of awesome skins coming out.
