When I said provocative I meant that she was intimate in the shower with a main character guy. Of course it's no different than an ME scene, but it was still softcore at best.


So why use it as an example of repressed hentai when you just said its softcore?


because "repressed hentai" is usually softcore scenes that usually leads to sex, but does not show it directly. And sailor moon was always considered as a childrens cartoon.

I hope the same company makes figurines of the new femshep and Zero Suit Ash.

I really think people are overacting.

Of course you do, you want to see more of it.

The anime FemShep is already finished.  It's the new default FemShep.  Just go to the main Bioware site and you'll see her.  Although granted it's a toned down anime version.  I think they left her breasts alone.:P

If something animated has anything even remotely related to sex in it you will call it repressed Hentai?

I don't mind anime. I'm not a super big fan of Liara, but probably would buy anything mass effect related to sit on my shelf.

But I won't buy this. There is stylization, and then there is 'looks nothing like the character it is intended to represent.' There's nothing wrong with making a woman sexy like a pinup- but this isn't how to do it. To be honest, it feels like a lack of respect for the franchise.

And to defend it simply on the grounds that it is 'anime style', is ridiculous. And only perpetuates the same misconceptions you're fighting against.


Well, they wouldn't be making them if Bioware hadn't commissioned them to do so, or at least allowed them to do it.  If Bioware thought it was lack of 'respect' them I'm sure they wouldn't have showed it off and allowed them to be manufactured.

Doesn't this assume that the people who make merchandising decisions for the franchise themselves have respect for it?

I don't think that would be a safe assumption to make.

Meh, not interested.

I will be picking up both Normandy ship models (Alliance and Cerberus) once those show up though.

Sometimes I wish they would make figurines that are geared towards nerfds not so overly exaggerated. Normal, regular looking Liara figurine would be so much better.

SP: Liara figuring got some serious eyebrows.

Most Asari in Mass Effect 2 was either a half naked dancer or some man's arm candy.

True story..

This is a bishojo figure. Literally 'beautiful girl.' Its suposed to be sexy. If it wasn't sexy it would fail utterly. They made her boobs big and her face is kinda wonky. They could have done MUCH MUCH worse. In fact I'm surprised how faithful the model is to the character.

But for an entire race of creatures made to cater to the 'sexy green alien lady' trope its hardly surprising they made a Bishojo statue. I dig it for what it is. And I'd totally buy it if I had the cash.

I can design a sexy Liara figure that has the right face and proportions. They cut corners to try and get to "sexy" when it was right there if they'd look.

Come back after you've looked through the ME wiki's list of named asari characters, look at their professions, and see if your opinion has changed.

That's the named ones, not all Asari.
