Sukumizu Daioh Rendering


Go figure that the sukumizu school swimsuits from Azumanga Daioh and Summer Time Rendering bear strong resemblances to conventional one-piece swimsuits unlike the average Anime sukumizu school swimsuit.

Swimwear Conservatism


Just because Nintendo is a video game company of Japanese origin doesn't mean they are advocates for ecchi levels of fanservice. Besides, Nintendo has to think of the younger audiences.

When Mario Kart Tour released a swimwear version of Rosalina along with the Marine Tour, we were left somewhat disappointed. The recently released Summer Tour has a swimwear version of Daisy, and the reception was similarly disappointing. In contrast, Azumanga Daioh had beach episodes where the two female teachers Yukari and Nyamo wear more appealing swimwear, with Nyamo wearing a bikini in all three beach episodes, and Yukari even tried to wear a bikini in a school swimming pool. Even female school swimsuits have more appeal than the swimwear versions of Daisy and Rosalina that are available in Mario Kart Tour.

Disappointing Reality


Apparently, the 11th century versions of the warriors of For Honor were not meant to have an average height taller than 6 feet tall, perhaps due to inadequate nutrition back in those times.

For your information, the heights of the characters used for comparing the For Honor warriors' heights are as follows:

Charizard (170 cm / 5'7")Chiyo (133 cm / 4'4"), Kagura (156 cm / 5'1"), Nyamo (161 cm / 5'3"), Osaka (156 cm / 5'1"), Sakaki (174 cm / 5'8"), Tomo (154 cm / 5'0"), Yomi (163 cm / 5'4"), Yukari (158 cm / 5'2")

And we have not even started comparing the heights of all the Dynasty Warriors playable characters yet..... That will be a major challenge and a nightmare for sure.....
