Now that we've gotten some Magical Girl skins...

Can we get some really manly animesque skin themes?

I'm talking Guts, Jojo, Dragon Ball, the sort.

For example... Tryndamere would have a Berserker skin. Or Shen's spirit sword would be a sword stand that can shield him and his allies. Or Lee Sin would be shooting energy blasts/breaking the ground with his moves. Hell, we could even have a Koro-sensei Kassadin skin.

Eh, whatever. This is harder than it looks.

Edit: We could see an Alchemist Ezreal or a Senpai/Host club series of skins. (Thinking Shen, Jayce, Talon, Twisted Fate, Taric, maybe add in Gnar?)

The entire Super Galaxy skin line is a homage to the series.

Or we could get the one male anime inspired skin we've longed for since his inception. https://66.media.tumblr.com/0dde0c14ab3d4c891f80078be3a06a4a/tumblr_n6i01q4swK1sftsgeo1_500.jpg

I was hoping we'd get a break from weeb stuff after such a painful dose of it.

Only if we get Love Stage Ezreal, where he looks like Izumi!

Overall I think the problem is that so far they rarely do skins that reference specific characters at all.

I mean look at demon vi for example,she could have easily be made into a female hellboy for the sake of making a hellboy reference,but riot just didn't want to do that and made her into something more original,with the similarity being rather small.

In a similar way the star guardians take inspiration from multiple magical girl series,not just a specific one.

So I simply doubt that they'll do that many skins based on specific characters and will likely do more based on specific genres.(Or make skins that reference a series as a whole)

Tryndamere Guts. Or if you really have aatrox love, he could get it too It's hard to integrate stands from Part 3-7 JJBA... Kindred could work. Or Ekko. You could try something to reference Dio, like Vladimir

I tihnk maybe a better idea would be to have Shonen anime-based skins that are more of an epitome of the manga type, rather than a specific character. As the Super Galaxy skins have done.

Final Boss Veigar pays homage to Retro final bosses with his multitude of quotes and design, so we could have something like that.

Honestly, Star Guardian Skins are just fanservice. And they weren't even asked for that much; there were many other more requested skins. Heck, they were hardly asked for at all in comparison to other skins. (Star Guardian Urgot, is, I assume, a joke).
