User blog:Meiko Megurine/The hate against iXima's art style and iXima Style art

I saw a tweet from Haneokka, (I think I spelled her name right), in which she spoke against UTAUs drawn in the style of iXima, and like, 10 minutes later, I see a tweet from MystSapph in which she spoke against it as well, and when I opened the tweet to see the comments, several people were in agreement with her, with one person referencing the "balding Miku" thing, and another making a comment about the "neutral" facial expressions characters illustrated by iXima receive.

I fail to see what the problem with iXima's art style is. In my honest opinion, I think people are just sour over the fact that it's not the cartoony anime style they're all used to and got their panties in a twist over someone bringing something new to the table, in this case, iXima illustrating the Big 6 in a more realistic anime style. People need to accept the fact that the Big 6 are no longer officially illustrated by KEI. Personally, I'm grateful for it because I got tired of seeing his art style hella fast. The cartoony anime style is long over. It has run its course in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. But it's nearly 2020 (yes, I know 2019 just began, but we all know this year will fly by faster than ladies running to a sale on designer shoes and purses), times and styles of anime have changed, as blatantly obvious with the realistic style that Naruto is now drawn in, it's time to lay the old to rest and look forward to the new. As said in the Disney movie Meet The Robinsons, keep moving forward. Never look back, it distracts from the now.

That being said, I really think the negative view on iXima's art style and iXima Style art is uncalled for. Honestly, her style breathes new life into the Big 6's appearance, and in art in general. Who cares about the neutral facial expressions or Miku's "thinning" twintails? Just pipe down and enjoy the art. Be grateful the Big 6 aren't simply katanas like VY1 and VY2 are, or are avatarless like Leon, Lola, Miriam, Sweet Ann, Big Al, Oliver, Sonika, Prima, Tonio, V2 Ryuto, Cyber Diva, and Cyber Songman.
