I feel sad to agree. I personally really like hq's work but these new sprites feel really weird. maybe I've grown too attached to the old ones but idk. A few of the new CGs also don't feels quite right, the one that hq just posted on twitter, of Arvo looking in the mirror, specially. Something that had a lot of charm and really stood out from other VNs are the forward facing characters which I miss a lot on these new characters. I also agree that most of the cast is looking unusually bulky, despite how they are described in-game. Something I do like is Lake's new flannel. I'm still unsure of what to do, I know I'll miss all of these a lot.
