Fiora's Rework and Aku no Hana

I know you're here to complain about Fiora's rework. That or you're intrigued by the title, so allow me to explain...

Does anyone remember Aku no Hana/Flower of Evil? Well, probably not on this site, but it was an anime which tried to dabble in rotoscope. Despite being interesting all around, a lot people made fun of it and refused to watch it because of the art style, citing images like this as their reason: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSbp4UCDhJSCtHdKIaq8rWXqj_SyhZWYlOs599N6JFg72-UqNvU7y6mRSQ2PA And you know what? It worked. Not too many people ended up watching the show initially. Their loss, because it was pretty interesting.

Now, what's happening with Fiora? We've got people who did and didn't play Fiora getting angry over her visuals and refusing to play her. Yeah, she's not the prettiest and there's bound to be changes with all this backlash, but there are people who can see past that and will play her anyway as a mechanical success. Some people won't play her in the end, and that's their loss.

Aku no Hana was a great show. Fiora's rework is a good rework.

Just noticed the connection.
